Bury Me Broken

Saturday Evening Round Up

• Must start with Dan K at DailyKos with a post [Bush and Bolton on Track to Wreck UN Reforms]on global reaction to recess appointed, UN Amb Bolton suggesting 250 changes to a document that has been created over the past 18 months for countries to ratify at the upcoming summit next week.
• From AP: "One US soldier was killed and seven wounded in attacks in southeast
  Afghanistan and near the capital Kabul, the US military said, as American casualties mount during their bloodiest year so far in the country. "
• From AFP:

  "Camp Casey is just that, a camp. This is a fort. This is a war, and we're going to win it," Bill Johnson, 63, told AFP, while sitting in the shade at Fort Qualls, which sits on his property.

Nearby, sweating in the searing Texas summer sun, was Brad Ward, who drove from Austin, Texas, to Crawford early Saturday and waved a sign with a peace symbol on it and the description "Footprint of the American Chicken."


"I'm here to support the president and the troops and honor the fallen hero, Specialist Casey Sheehan, since his mother is disgracing his memory," said Ward, an army veteran who never saw combat because "the Gulf War ended before I could get over there."



• Billmon is in form with his commentary on Pat Robertson with "Bring Me The Head of Hugo Chavez":

  "But then I happened to catch Robertson on the tube giving a speech during the 1988 Republican convention, and I realized he was both a con man and a nut case -- with no clear dividing line between them.'
