John Edwards & Barack Obama went straight for the jugular in going
after Hillary. They attacked the vote on calling the Iranian Revolutionary Council a terrorist organization. Saying it will give this president the excuse he needs to
go to war with Iran.

Hillary’s inconsistent answers were exposed on social security and at the end
of the debate she agreed with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's controversial plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants but then a minute later started backtracking.
Now Bill Clinton was a master at being evasive but her facial expressions and
demeanor showed she is no Bill Clinton. Will this debate change the numbers?
I don’t know.

I think what was really exposed last night was status quo positions of the front runner.
How can my party complain about the secrecy in the Bush Administration
if Hillary does not turn over all her documents? I understand it gives the other
candidates an unfair advantage, because she will be the only candidate required to
do this. But if this lack of transparency is going to stop, someone has to take
the lead. The other is lobbyist money; Hillary has out raised all the candidates of
both parties in lobbyist money from Wall Street, defense department, and insurance
and drug companies. Some might see it as success but really it business as usual.
Somehow we must have a leader to take us to public financing because these lobbyist
have too much influence.

I am getting suspicious as to why the Bush Administration is getting their way on the
latest NSA spying bill. Did the telecommunication lobbyist have something to do
with it? I don’t know.

This may sound like a slam on Hillary but it really isn’t, it just exposes some of her
weakness in a primary. Great leaders learn form mistakes and they don’t
usually repeat them. Constructive criticism will only make a person stronger.

Mike - > Politcs Plus -> A little late, Scott McClellan
A little late, Scott McClellan

Scott McClellan blamed the so-called liberal media, saying it was too differential to the White House, while they were selling the propaganda to go to war in Iraq.  Scott pedaled the administration's garbage as press secretary from July 2003 until April 2006.  Now he wants to profit from it. He was a weasel then, he's a weasel now.

Paul O'Neill said the administration had a plan to invade Iraq from day one, Richard Clarke backed up that claim. Mr. Clarke said the administration ignored Al Qaeda, because they were fixated on Iraq. Colin Powell said all the evidence, he presented to the UN and the reason for attacking Iraq was bogus. All these facts were dismissed. Now, Scott McClellan wants to clear his conscience by telling us George W. Bush was not well served.  When does the President of the United States stand up, and say he was taking in because, (as Matthew Dowd said in his tell-all book)he is not up to the job.  Matthew Dowd was George W. Bush's former chief strategist, so he should know. Who takes the blame for more than 4000 dead troops and 30,000 wounded?

Of course, Fox's Sean Hannity gave Karl Rove a place to state his denial. Karl Rove went onto say Scott McClellan’s book sounded like a left-wing blog.  Danna Perino called McClellan a disgruntled employee. Didn’t Scott learn the lesson?  You can lie to the FBI and a federal grand jury, and this administration will praise you, and eventually give you a pardon.  You could continue the lie and hide behind executive privilege. Tell the truth and they  will slam you from the White House press room podium, right-wing blogs and talk radio.

Scott McClellan said the administration's first week of hurricane Katrina was spent in denial, Dan Bartlett had already said that he had to show the president, a DVD of the nightly newscast before he knew the severity of the hurricane.  We now, know  Karl Rove staged the fly over, of the devastated area for a photo op to sell to Republican donors.  Karl Rove’s excuse for the president not stopping on his on his way back to Washington. The president did not want to divert resources from the rescue efforts. Funny, that does not match Dan Bartlett’s version.

So when will the two sources of the story below come forward? Are they going to wait until their book publishers, tell him it's time?

Bush 'plans Iran air strike by August'
By Muhammad Cohen

NEW YORK - The George W Bush administration plans to launch an air strike against Iran within the next two months, an informed source tells Asia Times Online, echoing other reports that have surfaced in the media in the United States recently.
