Satellite imagery of North Iraq oil pipeline fire. (It’s still burning, folks.) Bush administration military malfeasance continues.

That makes me angry," said Rep. David Obey, D-Wis. Cheney defends failure in Iraq with lies and distortions. US asks South Korea for additional troops for Iraq. Bush personally asks for South Korean troops, attempts to exploit domestic Korean politics. Deep divisions in Korea over supporting Bush’s War. Korea Herald editorial.

Clark slams Bush. “Clark told the Tennessee Democrats that when he retired from the Army, a colleague warned him that in civilian life, ‘There's no one in charge.’ ‘That's never been more true than since January 2001,’ Clark said, speaking of the presidency of George W. Bush. Reporter: Bush bullied the press during run-up to war. Gooper spin machine breaks sound barrier. Goopers explain Iraqi rebellion is just a PR problem, and selfish Americans are ungrateful to Bush for $87 billion no-plan spending request.
