[Michelle Malkin] Michelle Malkin » Truthers to the left of me, truthers to the right: Saddam was tried, found guilty and sentenced to death after being convicted of murder in the killings of 148 Shiite Muslims from an Iraqi town where assassins tried to kill him in 1982. This number of killings that Saddam Hussein was found guilty of is far less than Bush and his cronies caused to die on 9/11.

[JustOneMinute] JustOneMinute: Obama Picks Up A Belated Jihadist Endorsement: I'd even throw in a "helping hand" goosing the oil market from $70 to $148-the parked and full Iranian tankers, Vitol (a Swiss energy trading company) having about 11% of contracts on a single trading day, the "for press release" Nigerian oil facilities attack. I'd even throw in the active measures on AGW and Peak Oil.

[Pollster.com All Content] Pollster.com: US: Obama 52, McCain 38 (Pew-10/23-26): My 22 year-old daughter commented to me the other day that she doesn't believe the poll numbers are anything near accurate as far as Obama's lead over McCain because in her circle of friends (college students and working kids alike in Richmond, VA)she only knows one who has anything but a cell phone, no actual land-based phone line, so most of the polls just don't reach them.

[AlterNet.org: PEEK] "Explosive" new Hersh scoop: Bush funneling money to Al Qaeda ...: In short, the Pentagon is attempting to battle Iran's extremists and Hezbollah (both Shiite) by funding the violent Sunni factions that oppose them. Hersh speculates that the money is coming from the pallet-loads of cash floating around Iraq and has already reached "three Sunni jihadist groups." He says, flatly, that the president is "supporting groups indirectly that are involved with the same people that did 9/11." We should be arresting these people, he says, not looking the other way.

[The Caucus] Krazy Glue Moments - The Caucus Blog - NYTimes.com: First, you have John McCain going to the Middle East and proclaiming, not once but a few times, that the Iranians, who are Shiite Muslims, are training operatives for Al Qaeda, which is Sunni. For another candidate, this might not be all that significant, since most voters probably don’t spend much time worrying about which sect of terrorists might be trying to kill them.

[Byliner: Stories for Barry Goldberg] What Laura Bush said about Condi. - By Mickey Kaus - Slate Magazine: It would seem to have some possible pessimistic implications (are we backing the wrong Shiite in trying to form a "moderate" coalition between Sadr's rival, al-Hakim of SCIRI, and Sunni MPs?) and some possible positive implications, the main one being this: If the Sadrist Shiites and the non-Sadaamist Sunnis can cut some sort of stable deal, then maybe we can withdraw from Iraq without triggering a Shiite vs. Sunni bloodbath.

[Anderson Cooper 360] Anderson Cooper 360: Blog Archive - What I saw when Reverend ...: My enduring imagery of Jeremiah Wright is that he and the current pastor, together with whatever operates as a `board` for this church have used parishioners’ funds to build their retirement home: a 10,000 sq ft multimillion dollar mansion in a rich white gated community complete with golf course and coupled that monstrosity with a multimillion dollar credit card for him.

[PlanetNetopia.com Freedom!] u2r2h blog « PlanetNetopia.com Freedom!: If on the other hand you think that the people running this country spend their days plotting to create phantom civilian jet-liner flights, disappearing whole fuselages full of passengers, and then shooting missiles into the Pentagon in broad daylight in order to cover up embezzlement schemes if you think, in other words, that our government is run by the same people who cook up second-rate French spy movies or your mind instantly produces the word “crossbow” when asked to produce A MURDER WEAPON by a Mad Libs script well, then, you’re probably going to enjoy Griffin’s books.
