"The Republicans are taking food out of the mouths of children to give tax cuts to America's wealthiest. This is not a statement of America's values," said the Democratic leader, Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California. "Democrats believe that together, America can do better," she said, invoking the party's new campaign slogan.
The cost-of-living increase for members of Congress - which will put pay for the rank and file at an estimated $165,200 a year - marked a brief truce in the pitched political battles that have flared in recent weeks on the war and domestic issues.

We may be two peoples separated by a common language, as Shaw once suggested, but the US propensity to find teeth-grindingly literal explanations for the world around us never ceases to cause the British mirth.

The White House on Thursday vowed to launch a "sustained attack" against Democrats over charges that the administration manipulated the pre-war intelligence on Iraq.
Dan Bartlett, counselor to the president, told reporters in Gyeongju travelling with President George W. Bush in South Korea that the White House fight-back would be "sustained" in order to prevent Democratic charges about the way the administration led the country to war from becoming "conventional wisdom."
Comment: As the lies become more numerous and blatant, and the flag-draped coffins continue to mount, the question that more and more Americans are going to be asking is: why?
Why did key members of the Bush administration go to such lengths to cobble together what turned out to be a very poorly planned and extremely suspect case for war with Iraq and in doing so risk their political lives? Why even now, as the calls for a troop withdrawal from politicians and civilians alike become increasingly vocal, is the Bush gang refusing to budge?
The answer is an obvious one and also as old as the hills:
Blackmail.
To learn just who it is that is blackmailing the Bush gang and just what it is that has Cheney and Rumsfeld so terrified that that they are willing to risk everything to stay the course, get Laura Knight-Jadczyk's new book
9/11: The Ultimate Truth.

In Hunt for Terrorists, Bureau Examines Records of Ordinary Americans
The FBI came calling in Windsor, Conn., this summer with a document marked for delivery by hand. On Matianuk Avenue, across from the tennis courts, two special agents found their man. They gave George Christian the letter, which warned him to tell no one, ever, what it said.
Comment: German Priest, Martin Nimoeller was one of the victims of the Nazi regime in the 1930's. After the war, he stated:
First they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Next they came for Communists
But I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for Trade Unionists
Ann I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade Unionist.
Then they came for Catholics
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a catholic
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak for me.

President Bush called Democratic critics of how he sold the Iraq war to the world "irresponsible" five times Thursday during a brief news conference in South Korea.
Bush said he agreed with Vice President Dick Cheney, who on Wednesday had accused some unnamed senators who oppose the administration's Iraq war policy of lacking "backbone" and making "reprehensible charges" that Bush and his aides "purposely misled the American people on prewar intelligence."
Cheney's rough-edged remarks, and the president's unequivocal endorsement of them, were the latest in the Bush administration's new campaign to challenge critics of how it sold the war, accusing them of twisting the historical record about how and why the war was launched. Yet in accusing Iraq-war critics of "rewriting history," Bush, Cheney and other senior administration officials are tinkering with the truth themselves.
Comment: It is indeed a perfect example of just how farcical the world of American politics has become when, after all the clear-cut evidence that the Bush administration consciously fabricated (lied about) evidence for the Iraq invasion, so called "opposition" politician in the U.S. are still only tentatively suggesting that the Bush administration may have "deliberately misled" (notice the great efforts that are made to avoid the word "lied") the population over the Iraq invasion.
We can only hope that the many public opinion polls showing the American public as still undecided about whether or not Bush "misled" them on the Iraq war are bogus, and that the American people, while denied a voice by the bought-and-paid-for media, are at least personally aware of what is going on in their country and have no fear of calling a spade a spade, rather than 'a garden implement', or a lie a lie, rather than a misunderstanding.
