Talking Heads Pay Attention

I never tire of this one.

It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

-Theodore Roosevelt, University of Paris, Sorbonne, April 23, 1910

dag took a tumble, fall down and go boom. Doc say at least one week off my feet. I'm bored already. Oh well, guess I'll do some blogging. I now have come to the conclusion that not only is blogging boring, but nobody looks at my blog anyway, so I guess this is truley, sincerely a complete waste of time. Hopefully my nurse will arrive soon, so I can have some fun.

Don't be suprised to see lots of pictures and few words. Some pictures may follow a theme, see if you can guess what it is. If you come up with one, you may be spending too much time here in blogland.

What?

Some things better left unsaid

2006-05-02 | Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich (D-OH), Ranking Member of the House Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations, will use a Subcommittee hearing on Tuesday to question the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, about US troops already operating in Iran. The hearing is set for Tuesday, May 2nd, in 2154 Rayburn House Office Building.

Recently, Seymour Hersh reported in The New Yorker magazine that US troops are already operating in Iran. Air Force Col. Sam Gardiner (Ret.) has made similar statements on CNN.

Kucinich will use Tuesday's hearing, officially about the United Nation's Oil-for-Food program, to question Ambassador Bolton about the presence of US troops in Iran, the ramifications in the region and the effects on diplomatic negotiations.


Ambassador Bolton response excerpt:


KUCINICH: Have you ever heard of that report?

BOLTON: I'd never heard of the report, I never read the article, nor do I intend to.

KUCINICH: Do you have any interest as to whether or not -- as the U.S. Ambassador, you don’t have any interest as to whether or not U.S. Marines are actually operating in Iran right now?

BOLTON: I said I had not heard of the report and I didn't intend to read the article in "The New Yorker."

KUCINICH: If I gave you this article right now, walked it over, would you look at it?

BOLTON: I don't think so, honestly, Congressman, because I don't have time to read much fiction.

KUCINICH: We know that U.S. Troops are in Iran. How does this affect U.N. Negotiations?

BOLTON: Congressman, you know more than I do, that's all I can say.


Damn, that's classic.
