Today we launch another thread to our coverage ; 'Road To Tehran'. Although there has been discussion of a war in Iran as not possible in the current climate, we all know how spin and repetition of an idea can change people's minds.
The Vice President has asked the Joint Chiefs to redraw plans for an attack on Iran. An initial attack would be by bombing of nuclear sites, military and infrastructure.
Tell The Truthiness ; If this is the next step in Bush's and Cheney's plan, how far will it be allowed to go and who will ultimately stop it?
Mr Karl Rove may have left this week, but this weekend, another member of Bush's team is also bidding farewell.
Tony Snow, the White House Press Secretary has announced his immediate resignation from the administration.
His reason for departing?
Not his cancer, which is being treated.
Nor any difference in political policy.
He's leaving because this government job doesn't pay enough. He earns $168,000 annually, but could earn far more in a similar position with a private firm.
Tell The Truthiness ; There's plenty of respect for Tony Snow from Truthiness, he didn't say it was to spend more time with his family, he said he needs more money ; fair enough.
After his fourth of July speech, the US deaths over the weekend and the massive bomb that killed 150, much has been made of what the President is thinking on Iraq.
Some have said that the policy, direction, way, whatever you're calling it, has always been known in the White House. But then, some insiders say that the President keeps his true opinion of the policy to himself.
Tell The Truthiness ; Maybe the President sounds-off Barney in quiet moments on the lawn.
With the amount of suspicion and murkiness that surrounds many current and former Bush cohorts, it's oddly satisfying that one of them at least has had, to a degree, justice served on them.
That's right, after a lot of hand-wringing, Paul Wolfowitz, President of the World Bank is to resign from his position and leave the post by the 30th June. The World Bank has been dragged down over the last few months as regular rolling news channel fodder as his conflict of interest with his girlfriend was discussed at length.
There was criticism that Mr Wolfowitz had got his girlfriend a promotion and substantial pay rise during his tenure at the WB.
Tell The Truthiness ; Once the White House expresses it's 'full support' for you, you know you'd better pack your pot plants and hand in your parking pass.
A heavily tipped speech to be made by the Under-Secretary Of Administrative Affairs didn't happen today, despite heavy pre-speech reportage by news outlets.
'' We'd been tipped when the speech at the press conference was due to take place, what the content was to be, even the length of the statement we knew, all we were waiting for was for the speech to be made. Then at the last moment, he cancelled.'' That comment from Chuck Fleming, Channel 12 Action News.
Sources close to the Under-Secretary have told us that he got rather narked off at all the pre-speech coverage and thought their was no point in him actually delivering the statement since all the details had already been reported by all the morning news programmes and on all the rolling news channels.
The White House was asked whether this may lead to a trend in government public statements being cancelled in favour of pre-emptive reporting, they refused to comment until tomorrow morning. And until then you can catch constant speculation and recycling of that none story on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and any other rolling news channel you can shake a stick at.
The Truthiness Blog Says ; How many angles can there be on a story about bear hunting quotas?
Known as Wolfie by President Bush, the President of the World Bank is skating on very thin ice and the sound of cracks spreading to his patch will get louder this week. The directors of the WB have said they are ''urgently'' wishing to deal with the scandal that's swirling around Mr Wolfowitz. He's accused of lobbying for his girlfriend to gain a pay rise and promotion.
With the general practise that goes along with those who teeter on the brink of being fired, the White House has said it has ''confidence'' in Paul Wolfowitz.
Usually with that show of support being reported it's not long before they are clearing out their desk and having their car park space repainted.
The Truthiness Blog Says ; When he does lose his job, maybe he could get a friendly bank to give him a loan at a generous rate to set up his own consultancy business?
To the delight of producers in the White House this morning, the much predicted renewal of the series ' America's War : In Iraq ' was announced in the early hours.
It had initially been feared that due to falling ratings the series which has run since 2003, mostly on the Fox network but syndicated to almost every broadcaster once the invasion storyline was introduced, would be cancelled or put on hiatus. But to the delight to major investors in the series, mainly Halliburton, it's future has been secured until this time next year.
Rumours that the series could do a CSI style spin-off and have offshoots as midseason replacements in April have yet to be confirmed.
Industry insiders have mooted possible titles as 'America's War : In Iran', or possibly 'America's War : In North Korea'.
Various other blogs have circled another possible spin-off as 'America's War : In France.'
David Caruso is not thought to be featuring in any of the new shows.
The number of those supporting the war in Iraq continues to dwindle day-by-day leaving President Bush more isolated and out of touch.
This situation has been exasperated this evening by a press release by God's Public Relations team who have announced that he thinks a u-turn on policy is needed if things are not to decend into chaos and all out civil war.
'' Despite the work of many people and a truthiness style policy lead by Bush, it's clear that things have to change if anything is to get better or, at the least, less worse, '' said God this evening at Newark Liberty Airport as he changed planes for a three week break in the Carribbean.
Last week, a memo sent by Donald Rumsfeld in early November to the White House suggesting new options in Iraq was leaked and shows that even the wars most fierce supporter has acknowledged things need to be different.
