bush says yes to more torture
Bush will veto anti-torture law after Senate revolt
By Francis Harris in Washington
(Filed: 07/10/2005)
The Bush administration pledged yesterday to veto legislation banning the torture of prisoners by US troops after an overwhelming and almost unprecedented revolt by loyalist congressmen.
The mutiny was the latest setback for an administration facing an increasingly independent and bloody-minded legislature. But it also marked a key moment in Congress’s campaign to curtail the huge powers it has granted the White House since 2001 in its war against terrorism.
The late-night Senate vote saw the measure forbidding torture passed by 90 to nine, with most Republicans backing the measure. Most senators said the Abu Ghraib abuse scandal and similar allegations at the Guantanamo Bay prison rendered the result a foregone conclusion.
The administration’s extraordinary isolation was underlined when the Senate Republican majority leader, Bill Frist, supported the amendment.

bush says god told him to invade iraq
President ‘revealed reasons for war in private meeting’
By Rupert Cornwell in Washington
Published: 07 October 2005

President George Bush has claimed he was told by God to invade Iraq and attack Osama bin Laden’s stronghold of Afghanistan as part of a divine mission to bring peace to the Middle East, security for Israel, and a state for the Palestinians.
The President made the assertion during his first meeting with Palestinian leaders in June 2003, according to a BBC series which will be broadcast this month.
The revelation comes after Mr Bush launched an impassioned attack yesterday in Washington on Islamic militants, likening their ideology to that of Communism, and accusing them of seeking to “enslave whole nations” and set up a radical Islamic empire “that spans from Spain to Indonesia”. In the programmeElusive Peace: Israel and the Arabs, which starts on Monday, the former Palestinian foreign minister Nabil Shaath says Mr Bush told him and Mahmoud Abbas, former prime minister and now Palestinian President: “I’m driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, ‘George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.’ And I did, and then God would tell me, ‘George go and end the tyranny in Iraq,’ and I did.”
And “now again”, Mr 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. The White House has refused to comment on what it terms a private conversation. But the BBC account is anything but implausible, given how throughout his presidency Mr Bush, a born-again Christian, has never hidden the importance of his faith.
From the outset he has couched the “global war on terror” in quasi-religious terms, as a struggle between good and evil. Al-Qa’ida terrorists are routinely described as evil-doers. For Mr Bush, the invasion of Iraq has always been part of the struggle against terrorism, and he appears to see himself as the executor of the divine will.
He told Bob Woodward – whose 2004 book, Plan of Attack, is the definitive account of the administration’s road to war in Iraq – that after giving the order to invade in March 2003, he walked in the White House garden, praying “that our troops be safe, be protected by the Almighty”. As he went into this critical period, he told Mr Woodward, “I was praying for strength to do the Lord’s will.
“I’m surely not going to justify war based upon God. Understand that. Nevertheless, in my case, I pray that I will be as good a messenger of His will as possible. And then of course, I pray for forgiveness.”
Another telling sign of Mr Bush’s religion was his answer to Mr Woodward’s question on whether he had asked his father – the former president who refused to launch a full-scale invasion of Iraq after driving Saddam Hussein from Kuwait in 1991 – for advice on what to do.
The current President replied that his earthly father was “the wrong father to appeal to for advice … there is a higher father that I appeal to”.
The same sense of mission permeated his speech at the National Endowment of Democracy yesterday. Its main news was Mr Bush’s claim that Western security services had thwarted 10 planned attacks by al-Qa’ida since 11 September 2001, three of them against mainland US.
More striking though was his unrelenting portrayal of radical Islam as a global menace, which only the forces of freedom – led by the US – could repel. It was delivered at a moment when Mr Bush’s domestic approval ratings are at their lowest ebb, in large part because of the war in Iraq, in which 1,950 US troops have died, with no end in sight.
It came amid continuing violence on the ground, nine days before the critical referendum on the new constitution that offers perhaps the last chance of securing a unitary and democratic Iraq. “The militants believe that controlling one country will rally the Muslim masses, enabling them to overthrow all moderate governments in the region” and set up a radical empire stretching from Spain to Indonesia, he said.
The insurgents’ aim was to “enslave whole nations and intimidate the world”. He portrayed Islamic radicals as a single global movement, from the Middle East to Chechnya and Bali and the jungles of the Philippines.
He rejected claims that the US military presence in Iraq was fuelling terrorism: 11 September 2001 occurred long before American troops set foot in Iraq – and Russia’s opposition to the invasion did not stop terrorists carrying out the Beslan atrocity in which 300 children died.
Mr Bush also accused Syria and Iran of supporting radical groups. They “have a long history of collaboration with terrorists and they deserve no patience”. The US, he warned, “makes no distinction between those who commit acts of terror and those who support and harbour them because they’re equally as guilty of murder”.
“Wars are not won without sacrifice and this war will require more sacrifice, more time and more resolve,” Mr Bush declared. But progress was being made in Iraq, and, he proclaimed: “We will keep our nerve and we will win that victory.”

Awesome show today Madge! Norm Augustinus was hilarious, and the Jan McLaughlin interview was excellent. She’s a great gal, but my wife always gets jealous when I talk to Jan on Skype. Ho hum! Wonderful show Madge.

The dildo thing was a riot. One of your best shows. My partner and I listened to it half a dozen times. Fun cast.

Dildo rant is just a ripoff from a line from John Waters film “A Dirty Shame” Ok….he expounded on it with the hurricane shit but it was too contrived. Love the show you yeasty clit!!

Gosh is that Norm Augustinus, that Norm Augustinus guy annoying or what, let me tell you that Norm Augustinus guy is annoying. Madge, you know. You know Madge. Annoying. You know. Please Madge, you know, please stop playing his clips. They are annoying, Madge. Madge stop playing.
Ok, enough of that, everytime Norm Augustinus speaks, it bugs the shit out of me, because he uses “you know” alot, and he keeps saying the same thing, over and over again, 2 times, 3 times. Geeze, learn how to speak, if you wanna podcast.

Hello:
I work at a large insurance company on
W. Pipkin Road in Lakeland Florida. We deal with disasters on a daily basis and it can become quite depressing. The other day a co-worker gave me your address and told me to listen to you talk about storms and vibrators and promised me that it would perk me up so during my break I started playing it but without my headset. Oops! When I did get the headset on I laughed like I haven’t laughed in a long time (my husband died suddenly 18 months ago) Your hurricane story was really enjoyable and I’ve since given your address to others here. I’m not a lesbian but I’m hooked on your show. Thank you so much for helping me laugh again!

Well, you know, I loved the Norm Augustinus banter. But then, there’s no accounting for taste. Geek to geek, girlfriend, you rock the world of inquiry Madge. There’s nothing like a cunt-to-cunt dialog to start the day right. Ah. XOXOX
