There's a better case for these being true than there was to go to war with Iraq.

Bush has learned from OJ - disregard the evidence and smear the people who brought it to light.

And it worked for OJ, too.

Don't know, though, how reporting on a politicians activities or the results of programs advocated by politicians is "politics" unless one believes politicians should not be accountable.

The news from Iraq is absolutely terrible. Large areas of the country are under "rebel" control long after the war is over, the US is pounding cities to the extent the Turks are complaining about "excessive force" in an Iraqi city, and there's no end in sight.

The new government will also be a puppet, as only handpicked candidates can run, etc. and so on.

To claim that reporting that is "politics" may be true if accurate reporting is regarded as "politics".
