Monday morning back spin

ON IRAN'S SUPREME PROPAGANDA AGENCY:

President Ahmadinejad said Friday Palestine is the center of the final stages of the battle between Islam and arrogance, saying the Palestinian Intifada is progressing.

So 'Islam' has decided to fight against itself now? I didn't realize Islam was fighting anyone to begin with.

He spoke of the importance of the Palestinian cause and stressed the cause will not come be materialized if occupiers continue to occupy even a tiny part of Palestine's territories.

He stressed that unity, coordination and sympathy among resistance groups for the Palestinian cause is the only guarantee for Palestine's liberation.

And for his own regime's survival as well. Maybe this HAMAS guy didn't get the memo.

The Islamic Republic of Iran supports the Palestinian cause of statehood and liberation of Islamic territories from occupiers, he added.

Where exactly are the "Islamic territories"? I've looked on my maps and can't find them.

Elsewhere, he noted that one of the reasons westerners were lined up against Iran's undeniable right to gain peaceful nuclear technology was because of Iran's uncompromising support for Palestine.

No, we're lined up against Iran's compromised right to gain nuclear WEAPONS, mainly because of insane press releases like this one.


ON THE ABRAMOFF-BUSH PHOTOS

Time magazine flashes a juicy story claiming to have photos of Bush with crook-lobbyist Jack Abramoff, but doesn't publish them. Nuff said.


ON JOHN KERRY

"Osama bin Laden is going to die of kidney failure before he's killed by Karl Rove and his crowd," Kerry said.

There he goes bashing our Special Forces again.

"We're prepared to eavesdrop wherever and whenever necessary in order to make America safer. But we need to put a procedure in place to protect the constitutional rights of Americans."

Vintage flip floppery--we should eavesdrop wherever and whenever necessary (to me that means right now), but ONLY after he gets a chance to look like a hero for passing "safeguards" in Congress. We don't even know if what Bush is doing is illegal yet.
