Bu$hCo Budget

Bu$hCo recently released their proposed budget, such as it is since so much is off the books. A snowball's chance ... yet shows where their hearts and mind(s) are. Let's start with TruthDig, an investigative journalism effort that I'd discovered a while back, but only today added to my blogroll/links, where Robert Sheer asks,

Their key weapon, in fact, was suicidal fanaticism. ... Yet, rather than sensibly investing in aggressive global detective work, collaborating with our European allies, engaging meaningfully with an independent and skeptical Arab world, and working to protect vulnerable U.S. sites such as nuclear power plants, our leaders decided to turn logic on its head and make ignorance about the enemy into a virtue, slash civil liberties and recklessly invade a major Muslim country that had no connection to the attacks.

The Captain has initially located commentary on the Bu$hCo budget at HuffPo from Katrina Vanden Heuval, Tom Paine from Robert L. Borosage, MyDD from Scott Shields, ...

Progressives see the way this administration continues with carrying water for the Big Mules. Worst ever! Peace ... or War!
