POPSBush's Racist Police Buddies Taser Black Actor in 'W'. Stone's film on the life of the US president has aroused fascination and anticipation among many, and Bush supporters are bracing for an unflattering portrayal of the president. Previous Stone biopics on Richard Nixon and John F Kennedy were the targets of critical praise as well as controversy. Shreveport remains a bastion of American conservatism, raising questions about whether politics fuelled the aggression during the arrest of Brolin and Wright. Shreveport police chief Henry Whitehorn has confirmed that police are reviewing audio and video of the incident and will submit the case to the city prosecutor's office for possible prosecution of the actors.

POPSMcCain's Surge in Iraq Crippling Efforts in Afghanistan The death rate for American troops in Afghanistan last month was four times that of Iraq. The last two months have been the deadliest of the war for U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan since 2001. And today, Afghanistan sustained the deadliest single terrorist attack since 9/11 when suspected Taliban militants blew up the Indian embassy in Kabul. This is directly attributable to negligent policies set forth by the Bush administration--an administration dangerously obsessed with Iraq at the expense of the Real Global War on Terror. When many were urging the U.S. to focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan in early 2007, the Bush administration--with the support of Senator John McCain--launched the "surge" of troops into Baghdad. Unfortunately, Iraq is not, as John McCain says, the "central front" in the War on Terror--and it never has been. If there is such a thing, it is in Afghanistan and Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

POPSCourage of the flip-flop: Has McCain got it? Like when it was demonstrated to him that his religious companions were bigots that advocated murder. Was it cowardice or courage or the pope and the Catholics that made him have such a radical change of mind and dump his fundamentalist 'friends'? Apparently they have dumped him back. Hagee has put out a statement saying that he withdraws his endorsement from McCain because he has “become a distraction in what should be a national debate about important issues.” It takes one type of courage to drop bombs from the sky. Another altogether to order men into battle. A far greater courage to bring home the troops. Which courage does McCain have? Bush landed on a carrier. He wore the uniform. Did he demonstrate any courage?

POPSWorld Bank Leak: Biofuels cause 75% of Food Increase The report claims that biofuels have driven up global food prices by 75%, according to the Guardian report, accounting for more than half of the 140% jump in price since 2002 of the food examined by the study. The paper claims that the report, completed in April, was not made public in order to avoid embarrassing Bush.

POPSFor WHAT? One Man! And the Next WAR? And all for the lack of one assassins bullet. Where is Mossad when it's needed? "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" If he was such a bad man could no one be found to "judicially assassinate" this 'turbulent' ruler? Keeping the rules has NOT been the hallmark of this administration, so why not 'eliminate' Saddam? The truth is that he was never the target. Assassination would not have produced occupation. It would have save 4,000+ US lives but we have learnt that these didn't matter either. The out of sight, out of mind, no presidential presence at funerals worked for AWOL Bush. However the broken in mind and body will not go away so easily. Until they are swamped by the next lot.

POPS"Institutionally racist" MET is sued by leading Muslim police chief for racial discrimination!! Ghaffur is the latest senior ethnic minority officer to decide to sue the Met for discrimination. Dizaei, who is a commander in the Met, received a payout in his case, while the case of Shabir Hussain is still being heard. Personal, I believe the reason for the discrimination is due to his opposing the Labour government in its repressive Bush inspired 42 day detention period that is tearing the Labour party apart and will do for Brown. Another legacy of Bush's 9/11.

POPSCuba: "Bone-headed" Sanctions Failed. Sanctions are failing in Gaza. They failed in West Berlin and now in Cuba. Have they worked anywhere? You can understand people being prepared to starve to death than to give in to a bully like Bush and his 'regime change' mania.

POPSIrishman Angry at the Bush Junket Disruption! Willie has 'balls'. Few would publicly crisis the disruptive Bush. Doesn't he know that the grinning George is responsible for the torture of more humans than all Americans to date? Does he think that being Irish makes him immune to waterboarding. Surely as a aircraft man he knows of 'extraordinary rendition' where you are on permanent tour of the best torture prisons on earth. Even Shannon seems to be on the CIA itinerary according to Amnesty. And your personal politics or none is no disbarment. From Israel, to Egypt, to Iran, to Russia, to Africa, to Cuba, to Abu Ghraib, to Bagram, all are catered for. Fear of flying is sorted with drugs and huds, in best gangster fashion. There are no numbers yet on 'lost in flight' customers, but getting there. After all, this was a favourite method of disposal for the US trained South American juntas. "Lost at sea" is permanent and 'clean'.

POPSUS General Accuses Bush Admin of War Crimes 2-Star Army General indicts about Abu Ghraib that the White House "authorized" it: the Commander-in-Chief and those under him authorized a systematic regime of torture. Alot of things have come down on the Bush administration in the last month, i.e. McClellan's book, Bugliosi's book, now this.

POPSBush 'may convert to Catholicism' Yesterday the Vatican was seething at rumours that there was much more to it than protocol: George Bush,lifelong Methodist, was about to convert. The Vatican differs from the White House on immigration and the death penalty but on other issues including stem cell research, gay marriage and abortion there has been, as the Catholic daily L'Avvenire put it, "total harmony." .. Independent He'll have to become a Christian first, won't he?

POPSDetails on Kucinich's Impeachment Push AfterDowningStreet;org's champing at the bit in the wake of Dennis Kucinich's articles of impeachment . In addition to the links, they offer an index of the articles and, looking it over, I can't find anything that anyone seriously believes Bush hasn't done. That said, this is likely dead in the water. Democratic leadership have no interest in doing their damned job and holding Bush accountable for anything.

POPSImpeach Bush Resolution - One More Try
Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated that there will be no consideration of impeachment proceedings against Bush and said the idea was "off the table." So I guess this means this second effort is also going nowhere. Why does the Democratic leadership continue to refuse to do this? Is having oral sex in the White House with a willing 24-year old worse that killing 5,000 US troops, killing over 100,000 Iraqi citizens, displacing millions, spending trillions, etc.? At least the 35 points for impeachment that Kucinich spelled out are a nice summary of Bush's war crimes and may prove useful after Bush leaves office. Unfortunately, while the Democrats must be voted for this election,IMO, they seems to have no guts for a real showdown, not wanting to "upset the apple cart," as they trundle along to a presumed election landslide. Who knows? Maybe they have a point; although if Bush attacks Iran that point is quite lost. Note: None of this was printed in a USA newspaper.

POPSReport: Bush LIED "reduced, marginalised, or mischaracterised" Nothing new. Watch now as his lackeys discover that they have some backbone, sadly missing for years, as the lame duck fills his days sticking his greasy fingers in all the spouting dikes. Tricky Dick had nothing on this bastard. A world at war, the dollar sinking, 4,000 dead US soldier to a coward c-in-c, chaotic climate, worst recession in 50 years, FEAR endemic, civil rights shot to hell, Gitmo, torture, rendition, kangaroo courts, WMD and on and on synonymous with the United States. One million Russians couldn't damage America to the extent that Bush has. A fresh start is your only salvation! Tricky was an angle in comparison. Why isn't Bush - the bushwhacker - impeached. Why is the tail still wagging the dog?

POPSBush: 'God told me'. ...BBC TV program Where's his god now? What a nut. Don't they lock up religious freaks like this in America? Surely a snake-oil salesmen have more credibility now. When will they ever learn? I'm embarrassed every time I hear him speak. What must it be like to have been a one time Bush-lover? God! More from the BBC program... Bush is quoted as telling the two, "I feel God's words coming to me: 'Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East.' And by God, I'm gonna do it." Mr Abbas remembers how the US President told him he had a "moral and religious obligation" to act. ...BBC

POPSCatastrophe. - Bush? Iraq? Palestine? Israel? Well, he's being wrong on everything for 7 years, why should he change now? Why does this simple statement not penetrate the brains of those fanatics that followed his every word only to find they were lying deceitful devil words? Why should those that no longer believe in WMD for their service persons deaths, still cling to his crap about Iran, Hamas, Hizbollah etc. When was he truthful? Is he the devil? Sorry if I've asked difficult questions of the very few who are not used to thinking for themselves. Where can they look now that the emperor has NO clothes al all. POW McCain? A WOMAN? A BLACK? Ask the pastor who said Bush? Mental meltdown! Brain seizure from lack of use!

POPSBlushing Blair's Bitch Belatedly Bits Bush Butt! Yes look, he does look like a real cowboy. Here a 'real cowboy' is a lower form of life than a second hand car sales person. Cowboys over here are totally disreputable door-to-door shyster (A shyster is someone who acts in a disreputable, unethical or unscrupulous way or a con artist. While now applied in a non-ethnic-specific sense, it originated as a reference to disreputable Jxxish businessmen and criminals.) Unusual given his pro-Nazi past. Bet he's practising riding off into the sunset, pursued by a real posse for his war crimes. Mao and Stalin escaped. Will Bush? I hear he never really learnt how to ride a horse. Some Texan!

POPSOne Great Man, one good one, one Ok. One shite GULLIBILITY: "The art of swallowing the belief that one side in a two party kleplocracy is not going to screw you over like a drunken virgin at a Roman orgy" So, if you'll swallow shit(e) you get a shite runt like George, who has disgraced the Bush click forever. He's in his own unique group with Stalin and Mao in the number of deaths he is personally responsible for. Now will you elect another man killer, or a female who wants to, or another man of peace - black.

POPSJudge Rejects "State Secrets" Claim, Orders Watch Lists Open ...so that "free Americans" are not abused by Homeland Tyranny, arbitrary search and seizures when crossing borders. American citizens cannot be treated like criminals and terrorists without a "warrant, issued upon probable cause", and Dept. of HS must disclose Watch List status to those it treats otherwise. This could be a huge legal precedent to restore the norm of Constitutional restraints on government, with further applications than this.

POPSSex Ladies Spill he Beans on 'Clients' The naval lieutenant used the alias Renee during her six months of sex work for the service. She was one of 12 former prostitutes to testify this week. "It was getting hard for me to keep doing it … I didn't like it," she told the jury yesterday. Burton later produced an email the officer sent Palfrey six months after quitting the service, asking the madam if she still needed help. "I needed the money," she explained ruefully. She has since been placed on leave by the military. Like the other former call girls who testified, and like Dupre in the Spitzer case, the naval officer was granted legal immunity in exchange for her testimony. But the former prostitutes are required to use their real names in court -- relaying intimate details such as Palfrey's insistence that they have sex during menstruation. ...Guardian

POPSSymbol for Bush visit: Masada, Fraud and Myth How ironic that the symbol of the Bush presidency will be his visit to Masada, a fraud and myth knowingly perpetuated by the government of Israel that will turn his presidency into a total fiasco and make America party to the fraud and corruption! ! !
