April 25, 2005 Is Bush beginning to weaken on his idea for personal or ownership accounts for younger workers? Perhaps. His echo chamber speeches in sixty cities are not getting the media attention needed in order to be successful. Playfully delivering the same canned speech over and over before a selected audience of supporters may have finally driven him to waving one of the Parkersburg Papers in the air and calling the “holdings” of the Social Security trust funds worthless. This last minute truthfulness may have been his final shot.

The Americans were contracted to the private security firm Blackwater Security Consulting, and the Russian-made Mi-8 helicopter was operated by a civilian Bulgarian charter company, Heli Air. It was traveling to Tikrit from Baghdad when it was brought down at 1:45 p.m. local time about 12 miles north of the capital, near the insurgent stronghold of Tarmiya, U.S. officials said. ... In a separate incident, the company said, another Blackwater employee was killed when a bomb exploded beside his armored personnel carrier in the town of Ramadi." (04/22/05) Just how long will we allow this slaughter to continue? How many more of our children and spouses must we lose before we finally accept the truth that this "war" has nothing to do with our liberty or "national security", and is just plain wrong on every point.
