IRAQ IS SOVREIGN? SURE...(and Don King just got a haircut)

Fooling No One

So, the U.S. government decides to grant Iraqi sovereignity a couple of days earlier. But there are still 160,000 plus troops and 14 U.S. military bases (which will probably be permanent) in Iraq. And a terrorist group is threatening to execute a Muslim U.S. GI if certain Iraqi prisoners aren't released. And there was another terrorist attack today. In other words, Different Day Same S**t but now the puppet is in charge instead of the master. (Yes, Dick Cheney is president there too).

What's interesting to me is how no one seems to be buying the Bush Administration's naked election year ploy even for a second. Fox News will undoubtedly trumpet how smoothly the transition is going and how the administration is to be commended for handing the reins over ahead of schedule, but even the most uneducated observer of the situation over in Iraq is aware that the body count keeps rising and that just because you gave the mess a new name, a constitution and a new figurehead means that you're any closer to cleaning up the mess. Bravo, though, to Bush and his cronies for having the balls to try and sell this bottle of Cold Duck as Dom Perignon. Too bad that swill is still swill.

Kerry's VP Interview of the Week

Bill Richardson, the former Democratic governor of New Mexico and Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission.

Odds against becoming the nominee: 200 to 1

Dissent Channel says: Nice to interview a minority, but no. Despite being a good moderate Democrat with a following among Latino voters in a part of the country that is generally Republican, the GOP will undoubtedly skewer Richardson for overseeing the AEC during one of its most embarrassing moments, when a scientist at Los Alamos was convicted of selling secrets to the Chinese. Also, Richardson doesn't have much of a national following.
