He has a funny way with words..

Regarding the sale of 6 US port facilitys to the UAE controled company Bush is quoted as saying:

"This deal wouldn't go forward if we were concerned about the security of the United States of America"

There is a couple of ways to read that isn't there?

go get 'em Harper's

from the March '06 issue-

"We have in the White House a thief who steals the country's good name and reputation for his private interest and personal use...in a word, a criminal- known to be armed and shown to be dangerous."

They aren't even talking about Cheney.

Hmmmm

I have put some thought into the Whittington assault and I think I have an answer for all those that wonder why there was an 18 hour delay in Cheney getting the story out.

I think it is because they did not know if Whittington would die or not.

It seems that you have to handle the story differently depending on if Cheney shoot a man vs. Cheney killed a man. So with that in mind, I think it was not possible to firm up the Cheney version of events until his handlers knew whether the victim was dead or merely wounded.

What say ye all?
