Democrats Win. America Wins.. Crooks and Liars has a sweet roundup. I think the right's about to really go "nuclear".
Harry Reid:
There is good news for every American in this agreement. The so-called
"nuclear option" is off the table. This is a significant victory for our
country, for democracy, and for all Americans. Checks and balances in our
government have been preserved.
The integrity of future Supreme Courts has been protected from the undue
influences of a vocal, radical faction of the right that is completely out
of step with mainstream America. That was the intent of the Republican
"nuclear option" from the beginning. Tonight, the Senate has worked its
will on behalf of reason, responsibility and the greater good.
We have sent President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and the
radical arm of the Republican base an undeniable message: Abuse of power
will not be tolerated, and attempts to trample the Constitution and grab
absolute control are over. We are a separate and equal branch of
government. That is our founding fathers' vision, and one we hold dear.

Dobson's response.
Frist's puppetmaster has a statement:COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., May 23 U.S. Newswire
-- Focus on the Family Action Chairman Dr. James C. Dobson today issued
the following statement, upon the announcement by members of the U.S.
Senate that a "compromise" had been reached on the filibuster issue:
"This Senate agreement represents a complete bailout and betrayal by a
cabal of Republicans and a great victory for united Democrats. Only
three of President Bush's nominees will be given the courtesy of an
up-or-down vote, and it's business as usual for all the rest. The rules
that blocked conservative nominees remain in effect, and nothing of
significance has changed. Justice Clarence Thomas, Justice Antonin
Scalia, and Chief Justice William Rehnquist would never have served on
the U. S. Supreme Court if this agreement had been in place during
their confirmations. The unconstitutional filibuster survives in the
arsenal of Senate liberals. "We are grateful to Majority Leader
Frist for courageously fighting to defend the vital principle of basic
fairness. That principle has now gone down to defeat. We share the
disappointment, outrage and sense of abandonment felt by millions of
conservative Americans who helped put Republicans in power last
November. I am certain that these voters will remember both Democrats
and Republicans who betrayed their trust."

Sandy Frank: Are Senators for Real? The
other day when British MP and alleged Oil-For-Food bribee George
Galloway testified to a senate committee and generally cut our guys to
ribbons, I was reminded of a question I’ve wondered about before: Are
United States Senators as slow-witted as they appear?
I’ve never believed it. After all, senators are genuinely powerful;
members of the world’s most exclusive club. It’s hard to get elected to
the senate. But aside from the rare Daniel Patrick Moynihan, they seem
a singularly unimpressive bunch.
My theory is that they’re pretending. You’ve seen them on the Sunday
morning shows: “Well, George, as I travel around this wonderful country
of ours, from sea to shining sea, sitting down for coffee with the fine
men and women who make up this great nation and talking to them about
their hopes and dreams…” Come on, they must be faking it, afraid
apparently that if they show any spark at all then voters won’t like
them.
Now, the only evidence I’ve ever seen to back up my suspicion came
during the Keating Five trial. Five senators, accused of ethics
violations, professional backs to the wall, took off the masks. The
aw-shucks demeanors were gone, replaced by… well, not intelligence,
exactly, but at least animal cunning. Their professional lives were at
stake and they did what they had to do. For once they didn’t play dumb,
and it paid off –- they survived. It was kind of cool. - Sandy Frank

Surrendering leadership to theology.
If there's one thing Americans love, it's being "number one". The
Olympics, the raace to the moon, our big, bad ass military machine.
So will Americans willingly surrender our leadership role in scientific
and medical research to other nations? We are the nation that blazes
the trail of discovery. Not South Korea.
The American Taliban's radically anti-science agenda will continue
affecting our ability to lead the world in scientific, medical and
technological breakthroughs. Long the beneficiary of an influx of the
world's brightest and smartest, continued hostility to science and
reality may very well turn that into a brain drain. Will America settle for second- or third-best? [Daily Kos]

Alberto Gonzales Is a Bad Man (Why Oh Why Are We Ruled by These Liars? Department).
In comments, JR writes:
Gonzales'references to athletic uniforms and scientific equipment was a
classic rhetorical tactic - find some minor thing in the Convention to
ridicule and thereby invite your reader to conclude with a sneer that
the whole thing needs to be junked.... Gonzales' references... are
lies. There is no requirement that POWs be "afforded" athletic uniforms
and scientific instruments. There IS a requirement that prisoners be
allowed to receive mail, including packages, which may include such
things as "foodstuffs, clothing, medical supplies and articles of a
religious, educational or recreational character which may meet their
needs, including books, devotional articles, scientific equipment,
examination papers, musical instruments, [and] sports outfits..."
(Geneva Convention III, Art. 72). So in order to ridicule the Geneva
Convention, Gonzales had to lie about it. And why are we not surprised
to find Okrent repeating Gonzales' lies in his parting column?...

What If China Slows?.
Stephen Roach | New York | May 23
Morgan Stanley - The herd always runs tightly in momentum-driven
financial markets. That seems to be even more the case today. In a
growth-starved world, most are now convinced that the China boom is
here to stay. That could be wishful thinking. China is now putting
policies in place aimed at taming the internal excesses of its
unbalanced economy. At the same time, the rest of the world is ganging
up on Chinese exports. What if the unthinkable happens -- and the
Chinese economy actually slows? More at the link.

The Post-Enlightenment. Last
night on 60 Minutes we saw the result of Fundamentalist influence on
the Bush Administration: teachers lying - yes, lying - about condoms
and their failure rates. Young Americans will contract AIDS from unsafe
sex because they weren't told the truth. We also learned this weekend
that Pres. Bush will veto stem
cell legislation that holds the promise of curing many deadly diseases.
We need to pause now and say it out loud: The Republicans will allow
millions of Americans to suffer and die needlessly in the name of
righteousness and political expediency. Do they do it for their
beliefs? Maybe. To win elections? Definitely.
I've written before about the Administration's use of taxpayer money to actively discourage condom use -
that's right, discourage it - and to promote church attendance (not
mosque or synagogue, just church!) under the pretense of promoting sex
education. The abstinence education modules and guidelines discussed on
60 Minutes (summary here)
include the federally-funded promotion of a Christian advocacy group
called "Silver Ring Thing" (you heard me right: federally-funded
promotion of religion).

The Iraqi Army inaction 
Useless
Down and out with Iraqi forces
On patrol with Iraq's ragtag army, a reporter discovers why American troops will not be coming home anytime soon.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
By David Axe
May
23, 2005 | On the afternoon of Jan. 27 in the Sunni city of Baquba,
north of Baghdad, U.S. and Iraqi forces are hosting what they call a
"peace day" at a provincial government building near one of the most
dangerous parts of the city. The event is an opportunity for known
insurgents to sign a pledge against violence in exchange for amnesty
from arrest. Outside, Iraqi police and soldiers patrol the wide,
garbage-lined streets on foot and in battered trucks that weave through
traffic. At an intersection just yards from the
peace-day proceedings, a compact car pulls up alongside a police truck
and explodes, scattering debris and body parts and riddling the police
truck with shrapnel. Four policemen are gravely injured. Passersby drag
them bleeding into a nearby shop while U.S. and Iraqi forces and
ambulances race to the scene. For several minutes after the explosion,
Iraqi cops speed up and down the street in their ubiquitous pickup
trucks, firing machine guns at God knows what. ................................... Establishing
reliable security forces elsewhere in Iraq has proved a difficult and
sometimes Sisyphean task. Despite the wave of deadly attacks, U.S.
commanders maintain that the number of Iraqis volunteering to enlist
continues to far outnumber the places available in training courses,
which are aimed at bringing the number of Iraqi forces to about 300,000
by the end of next year.
But getting
Iraqi forces to perform is another matter. "The Iraqi security forces
were close to meeting their force-structure goals last summer," Pike
says, "but then the goals went way up and the forces on hand collapsed."
Pike
is referring to the widespread flight of Iraqi police and army troops
in the aftermath of the November 2004 battle for Fallujah.
"It
all happened in two weeks," says Lt. Col. Bradley Becker of the
meltdown of Iraqi police and army in his area. Becker commands a
battalion of the 25th Infantry Division from Fort Lewis, Wash. Since
October, Becker's battalion has patrolled the dusty approaches to
Mosul, an area known to U.S. soldiers as Q-West, after its most
important town, Qayyarah.
In early November,
in the wake of the battle for Fallujah, Q-West, which had been pretty
peaceful to that point, "fell apart," in the words of Maj. Kevin
Murphy, 36, Becker's operations officer. Rather than stand and fight,
most police in Q-West dropped their weapons and ran. They never came
back.
................................ Today, Iraqi forces in Q-West are "capable of semi-independent operations," in Murphy's estimation.
What
a "semi-independent" operation looks like is demonstrated on the cold
night of March 25, near Qayyarah. Tom Burns, a second lieutenant in the
25th Infantry Division, leads a joint American-Iraqi patrol looking for
smugglers and insurgents on the area's remote, dusty roads. The
Americans are in two speedy, heavily armored Stryker vehicles; the
Iraqis trail behind in pickup trucks. Every couple of miles, the
Strykers have to idle to let the pickups catch up, eliciting rolled
eyes and muttered epithets from Burns and his crew.
Spotting
a good vantage point atop a steep hill that only the Strykers can
mount, Burns, 22, decides to leave the Iraqi trucks guarding a
secondary road. But in the spirit of cooperation -- and just in case he
needs someone who speaks Arabic -- Burns gestures at several young
Iraqis to climb into his vehicle. Gazing back at the Iraqis he's
leaving behind, Burns shakes his head and mutters, "Like little lost
sheep."
Equipment for Iraqi security forces
is in short supply. Deputy police chief Josef Hussein, working out of a
compound in Qayyarah that is within blocks of several police stations
destroyed in attacks, complains that his troops lack transport, radios
and machine guns. American officers in Qayyarah have promised Hussein
that they will do all they can to meet Iraqi forces' needs. But
privately, the same officers admit to me that funds are short.
................................. Even
harder than motivating individual police and soldiers has been finding
able leaders. Two Iraqi army battalion commanders in Q-West deserted
their units last fall. To fill the gap, Becker awarded a colonel's
commission to Ra'ad, a Kurdish private security contractor who
voluntarily fought insurgents during the meltdown. Ra'ad has done a
fine job since then, according to Becker, but he's the exception to the
rule, and Americans continue to lead Iraqi units in all but the most
permissive of environments. During the January elections, 1st Infantry
Division officers in Baquba took charge of poll security at many
locations despite repeated promises to let the Iraqis handle it
themselves.
According to several Army
officers I spoke with, U.S. soldiers across Iraq continue to take the
lead even in small-scale combat operations -- a tacit admission that
Iraqi forces simply aren't up to the task. Often this means that
individual American noncommissioned officers, or NCOs, sideline their
Iraqi counterparts. From January to May this year, I often saw this
taking place while patrolling with U.S. and Iraqi forces in the Sunni
triangle, and in northern and eastern Iraq.
................................
Back
in Baquba, in the wake of the suicide bombing that gravely injured four
Iraqi cops, Army reporter Sgt. Kim Snow from the 1st Infantry Division
watches Iraqi police recklessly roar up and down the street in their
pickup trucks, firing their weapons at nothing. It's become clear that
the sole suicide attacker, who now lies in pieces among the burning
wreckage, was the only threat in the area. The rounds from the Iraqis'
weapons rain down on the surrounding streets, where civilians are
quickly scattering into buildings.
Snow grimaces at the spectacle. "Business as usual," she says.
Let's
get down to it, the best leaders are in the resistance. They have some
really capable leaders who don't need 20 months forget 20 years to
become effective. It seems the people who have their shit toghether and
can run operations are not on our side. The people who can't lead and
need a payday, work for the Americans. The Iraqi resistance is drawing
from the same pool of people, yet they are able to run daily operations
without pause.
You don't see the resistance collapsing, do you?

How Dare The Post Refer To Ted Kennedy As Anything Less Than Satan's Left Testicle?. Bad reporters complain about how bad the media is, and you can be sure it'll be pushed to the moon. This reminds me of nothing so much as Brian Williams' recounting of sitting around with Brit Hume complaining about liberal media bias - and not naming a single relevant example of said bias.
John Leo discusses the pervasive anti-military bias of the media,
which just goes to show you that in the animal kingdom of conservatism,
fawning stories about soldiers back from Iraq and recovering from
injuries, coupled with awkwardly public satellite reunitings on
television and "embedded" reports that showed war was fun constitute
some sort of ideological hatred.
Remember the sensational New York Times report on
the 380 tons of explosives missing in Iraq? It was a questionable and
weekly sourced story put on page one eight days before the election in
a transparent attempt to defeat George Bush. Wouldn't it have been good
for journalism if a single person at the Times editorial conference had
been able to muster enough "diversity" to stand up and say, 'Great
newspapers don't do things like this.'
As "weekly" sourced as it was, it was, uh, true. I'm not sure why great newspapers don't publish accurate, relevant stories, but I'll be reading the Washington Times for stories that you can't find in the liberal media, such as how insurgent attacks are threatening security and reconstruction in Iraq. Why won't the MSM cover this?!?!?!? [Pandagon]

Lizz Winstead: Rage Against The Hormone Machine So how would you feel knowing millions of your tax dollars are being spent on a program that has a proven failure rate of 88%?
No I’m not referring to the war in Iraq or the Medicare prescription drug plan or the Clear Skies initiative.
This is regarding The Silver Ring Thing, George
Bushes, “No Virgin Left Behind” abstinence only program that in no
small part has lead to a dramatic increase in abortion since the
Celibate in Chief took office.
Set in a total Lolapalooloza type setting, this magical night of
music and comedy is a wholesome Rave where teens gather to drop sex
instead of X.
A tax payer sham that climaxes with each participant slipping a silver
ring on his or her finger, pledging they will remain virgins until
marriage, much the same way they pledge to take care of that dog they
talk you into bringing home.
We all know how that turns out
Yes I know, it sounds like a good use of your tax dollars, spending
it on traveling the country to spread the message that hot,
experimental, meaningful sex only happens once you are married.
We all know how that turns out.
Yes as the Rap songs and skits reiterate at the Silver Ring Thing
events, pre marital sex is a world of darkness and tragic consequences,
and one valuable public health message I gleaned from them watching
“Sixty Minutes” last night, is that the use of condoms is about as safe
as pouring a big glass full of aids right down your throat.
The Message?
Sex is evil, sex is dirty, and sex is dangerous…
SAVE IT FOR THE ONE YOU LOVE!
You can preach and lecture and throw money at this issue until you
are blue in the balls, and the result is going to be the same.
Teens are gonna have sex for three simple reasons,
1. It’s fun
2. It’s free
3. It’s against your wishes
Wake up! When the most fun a person can ever have in the whole world is free, you can’t stop it.
Not even with twisting scientific facts like a balloon animal.
No the only science that may work to prevent kids from having sex may be reverse psychology.
Maybe if you sit your kids down and say, “When I grab your mothers’
firm buttocks and mount her like a stallion, she screams for the whip
and God do I make her beg for it.!”
After they’ve stopped throwing up, maybe they’ll vow never to have sex.
We’ll see how that turns out.

The Lebanonization of Iraq Progresses....
In this morning's news, John Burns and Terence Neilan report: Iranian
Envoy in Iraq for Talks: Iran's foreign minister arrived in Baghdad for
talks that he has said will tackle a number of issues.... The Iranian
foreign minister, Kamal Kharrazi, is the second senior visitor to
Baghdad since the formation of the new Iraqi government, following the
meetings held here on Sunday by Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice.
Mr. Kharrazi is to hold talks with Prime Minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari, a
Shiite, and Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, a Kurd. It is clear that
his arrival sends a signal as to where the friendships are going to lie
between Iran and the two Shiite religious parties that control the new
government: Sciri, headed by Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, and Dawa, led by Dr.
Jaafari. Indeed, his visit throws into question the degree of Iranian
influence in Iraq. Ahead of the visit, Mr. Kharrazi described the
Iran-Iraq relationship as an important one, and that his meetings would
deal with a number of topics.... Now that Iraq's majority Shiite
community has risen to power, Baghdad has been working to build on ties
with Iran, a Shiite-dominated republic... How many Iranian troops and
secret police are...
