I must admit I didn't know it was as bad as this, but it seems the Bush administration is just as bad at fudging facts domestically as in its foreign policy.

Delegates, I believe in grassroots democracy. It's the new type of politics the Australian people are calling for.

I don't want people campaigning for better community services. I want them running them getting involved in their local community and having their say.

When I first got interested in politics 30 years ago, it was an honoured profession. This was the noble ideal of public life a life lived in the service of others.

john howard, the prime minister of australia, is a fool if he thinks that australians can be as easily swayed by the smoke/mirror/disinformation tactics so successfully employed by the US government on its own people.

from the article:
Mr Howard said the victory in Iraq had made the world a little safer from terrorism[...]
bullshit.

i just read this post on K5, which is just pretty much how i feel about the US, iraq and US imperialism. i don't normally repost other's writings, but damnit i will this time:
