Updated: 12:13 p.m. ET Aug. 6, 2005

Aug. 6, 2005 - As U.S. troops endured a deadly week in Iraq, 61 percent of Americans polled say they disapprove of the way President George W. Bush is handling the war in Iraq, according to a new NEWSWEEK poll. Thirty four percent say they approve. This is Bush’s lowest rating on Iraq and the first time it has dropped below 40 percent in the NEWSWEEK poll. And 50 percent of those polled say the United States is losing ground in its efforts to establish security and democracy in Iraq; just 40 percent say the U.S. is making progress there.

have no idea if this is true:

PRESIDENT INDICTED: 'A federal whistleblower close to the Chicago federal grand jury probe into perjury and obstruction charges against President Bush and others said indictments of top officials were handed down this week. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Illinois, however, refused to confirm or deny the source’s account.

“We are not talking about any aspect of this case, and our office is not commenting on anything regarding the investigation at this time,” said Randall Sanborn from the office of U.S. federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, the attorney conducting the grand jury probe into whether Bush and others in his administration violated federal law in a number of sensitive areas, including leaking the name of a CIA operative to the media....'

and the follow-up: journalist stands by his story That Bush And Others Indicted But Retracts Story About Potential Firing Of Chicago Special Prosecutor

back before the last fucked election, bush and his henchmen came right out and had their deluded followers promising WHATEVER IT TAKES to get him elected. i took that literally and it seems that as we find out more and more nefarious shit, that's exactly the mindset--these fuckers will do EVERYTHING and ANYTHING (legally and not) to get their asses elected and fuck everyone else.

poor Al Gore (and poor US), taking the high road back after the supremes fucked US all over.
