Bush: The Anti-Buddha? --
The writer of this thoughtful Alternet feature likens Bush to the anti-Buddha (first ticking off a nauseating list of this administration's "achievements") and reflects on a Buddhist dilemma:

Do you suppose he'll just donate that faulty intelligence, now? --
Chalabi's group claims he's off the dole as of June. No more monthly $300,000 payments. But I'm curious - why won't the Pentagon confirm it?
