all this week the shit for brains president will be putting lipstick on a giant stinking corpse and try to tell us it's a good deal. 'the war is going great', 'stay the curse', 'our resolve is strong and we will not cut and run', etc.

good luck asshole, this is your war, now get out there and sell it.

1. when I heard him say........
.........(about talking to Cindy) that he needed to go on with his life, I had the same impression!!

I thought...........'go on with your life? This IS your life!! You wanted this war, you created it, this is your life!!'

4. they have a bit more to worry about than salesmanship
They'd better be prepping their arguments for their trials in the bloody Hague.

We can't afford to let them go free. It is in fact our duty to never allow these fascists to ever enjoy freedom from the very moment they are ejected from office (assuming we can reestablish legitimate elections).

They must all stand trial in the Hague for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The entire Republican Party, PNAC, AEI, CNP, CFR, the US MSM (from anchors to executives), all of them. Anything less would be a failure to carry out our duties as American citizens.

7. I can't quite tell from the article what the redefinition does
Though, knowing Bushler and Bliar, it doubtless relaxes their own legal burdens.

Any further details on how the change affects charges of genocide against Bushler, Cheney, Rummy, et al?

8. Time to play the "crimes against humanity trial" of Saddam Hussein card...
...maybe that will distract folks and rally them back into support again, for a little while.

Who is in charge of moving forward with that, again? Does BushCo have any influence over the time frame?

A little renewed self-righteous-yet-obviously-titillated wallowing by neocons in the gory details of Hussein's "rape rooms" and the like (as opposed to the American "rape rooms" at Abu Ghraib and Gitmo) might be just the thing to pump a little life into this lemon--ain't that right, lurking freepers?

11. Well, the military has hired Leo Burnett
That's the Chicago ad agency that made Marlboro the best-selling cigarette in the world. The ads are so imprinted on the American psyche that many of Marlboro's print ads don't even mention the product: Just a picture of a rough, tough, independent-looking cowboy and the Marlboro red double-triangle logo.

When you want to market death, call the Leo Burnett Agency!
