My Way News - Sony Develops Film-Thin, Bending Display: "TOKYO (AP) - In the race for ever-thinner displays for TVs, cell phones and other gadgets, Sony may have developed one to beat them all - a razor-thin display that bends like paper while showing full-color video."

My Way News - Bush: Iraq at Center of Terror Fight

My Way News - Bush: Iraq at Center of Terror Fight: "'As global terror threats remain very real, President Bush is sinking more money and sending more troops to referee Iraq's civil war, when those precious resources would be better spent in finishing the mission left unaccomplished in Afghanistan,' said Brian Katulis, a national security expert at the Center for American Progress think tank." Why does the DBM have to quote unknowns, such as Brian Katulis? Because they are desparate.

My Way News - Bush: Bin Laden Ordered Non-Iraq Attacks

My Way News - Bush: Bin Laden Ordered Non-Iraq Attacks: "Democrats and other critics have accused Bush of selectively declassifying intelligence, including portions of a sensitive National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq, to justify the U.S.-led invasion on grounds Saddam Hussein's regime possessed weapons of mass destruction. That assertion proved false." The DBM (Drive-By Media) hits again by blatantly stating falsehoods. WMD was found in Iraq. We did not found huge quantities as expected. But that never has stopped the DBM. We know that convoys of trucks carring something, possibly the huge quantities of chemical and biological WMD, went to Syria. It has never been established what was on those trucks, at least not publicly.

My Way News - Agreement Near on Iraq Funding Bill

My Way News - Agreement Near on Iraq Funding Bill:

"WASHINGTON (AP) - Flinching in the face of a veto threat, Democratic congressional leaders neared agreement with the Bush administration Tuesday on legislation to pay for the Iraq war without setting a timeline for troop withdrawal. Several officials said the emerging compromise bill would cost about $120 billion, including as much as $8 billion for Democratic domestic priorities - originally resisted by the White House - such as disaster relief for Hurricane Katrina victims and farmers hurt by drought. After a bruising veto struggle over war funding, congressional leaders in both political parties said they hoped the compromise would be cleared for President Bush's signature by Friday. Despite the concession, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., told reporters that the legislation would be the first war-funding bill sent to Bush since the U.S. invasion of Iraq 'where he won't get a blank check.' Reid and other Democrats pointed to a provision that would set standards for the Iraqi government in developing a more democratic society. U.S. reconstruction aid would be conditioned on progress toward meeting the goals, but Bush would have authority to order the money to be spent regardless of how the govern"

My Way News - White House to Quickly Replace Wolfowitz

My Way News - White House to Quickly Replace Wolfowitz:

Wolfowitz on Thursday announced that he would step down at the end of June, his leadership undermined by a furor over the compensation he arranged in 2005 for Shaha Riza, a bank employee.

But later in the article it says:

After days of negotiations, Wolfowitz got what he wanted - an acknowledgment from the bank's board that he did not bear sole responsibility for the conflict-of-interest furor surrounding his handling of the pay package.

"He assured us that he acted ethically and in good faith in what he believed were the best interests of the institution, and we accept that," the board said in its announcement of Wolfowitz's resignation. [emphasis added]

My Way News - LEDs Emerge to Fight Fluorescents

My Way News - LEDs Emerge to Fight Fluorescents: "The energy efficiency is no doubt a draw for commercial clients like hotels, but LEDs have another big advantage: they last up to 50,000 hours, according to manufacturers. That compares to about 10,000 hours for fluorescents and 1,000 hours for incandescents. Not having to send out janitors to replace burned-out bulbs means big savings in maintenance costs." Janitors are people too!

My Way News - Pentagon Tells 35,000: Prepare to Deploy

My Way News - Pentagon Tells 35,000: Prepare to Deploy: "WASHINGTON (AP) - The Pentagon has notified more than 35,000 Army soldiers to be prepared to deploy to Iraq beginning this fall, a move that would allow commanders to maintain the ongoing buildup of troops through the end of the year if needed. Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said Tuesday the deployment orders, which have been signed by Defense Secretary Robert Gates, do not mean that the military has made a decision to keep the increased level of 20 brigades in Iraq through December. A brigade is roughly 3,500 soldiers. Instead, he said the decision gives the Pentagon the 'capability' to carry the buildup to the end of the year. The replacement forces, Whitman said, would give commanders in Iraq the flexibility they need to complete the mission there. The announcement, said Whitman, has 'nothing to do' with a decision to extend the troop buildup. He said the Pentagon 'has been very clear that a decision about the duration of the surge will depend on conditions on the ground.'"

My Way News - House Pitches New Iraq Plan

My Way News - House Pitches New Iraq Plan: "House Democrats want to provide a bill that supports the troops, but not give Bush a blank check on the deeply unpopular and costly war. Further complicating matters, several House liberals oppose funding the war at all while other more conservative Democrats are reluctant to tie strings to a bill needed by the troops. The new version is likely to meet resistance in the Senate. Several Senate Democrats said they would oppose a short-term funding bill because it leaves open the question of whether troops will get the resources they need after July. 'There's the question of why it wasn't fully funded,' said Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb. If the House version of the bill fails in conference with the Senate, Democratic leaders say their members will have other chances to affect Iraq policy. Party leaders have pointed to the 2008 defense authorization bill, which helps to set Pentagon policy, as well as the 2008 appropriations bills. However, that plan could meet resistance by members reluctant to watch their carefully crafted bills sink under a presidential veto. Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., chairman of the Armed Services Committee, has drafted a defense authorization bill that requires U.S. officials to report on progress made on the war. But according to a panel aide familiar with the draft, the bill so far does not include a tough" Let's see, has 100 hours passed yet? Couldn't have, because Pelosi said her congress would fix all of our problems by then. Last I checked, they hadn't done a thing. I thought April marked the first 100 days? I am so confused...

I didn't even know the queen was married.

My Way News - Bush's Veto Survives House Challenge: "Democrats flashed defiance, yet signaled they were ready to make significant concessions such as jettisoning the troop withdrawal timetable in order to gain Bush's signature on a replacement measure. There was early talk in both parties of setting goals for the government of Iraq to meet as it strives to develop a self-defending, democratic society."
