Crooks and Liars: "In the obsessively private Bush clan, talking out of school is the ultimate act of disloyalty, and Bush feels betrayed from within...."He's ticked off big-time," said a well-informed source, "even if what they said was the truth." The problem is, Bush doesn't know truth - not even as a passing acquaintance.
Engadget "...the US Army has recently filed a patent for an improved rifle night scope that'll let soldiers keep their heads down while still being able to spot their target. Current night scopes require soldiers to raise their head above the rifle to look through it, and move their head away before shooting to avoid getting slammed by the gun's recoil." I'm imagining someone in authority getting their face slammed and then insisting something be done about it.Washington Post "...the Bush administration sees diplomacy as something to be engaged in with another country as a reward for that country's good behavior. They seem not to see diplomacy as a tool to be used with antagonistic countries or parties, that might bring about an improvement in the behaviour of such entities, and a resolution to the issues that trouble us. Thus we do not talk to Iran, Syria, Hizballah or North Korea. We only talk to our friends -- a huge mistake." But talking to our friends is so much more fun - they tell us what we want to hear!
