1. EXCLUSIVE: Majority Leader Boehner’s Confidential Strategy Memo

EXCLUSIVE: Majority Leader Boehner’s Confidential Strategy Memo For Thursday’s Iraq Debate

On Thursday, the House of Representatives will hold a debate on the Iraq war. Media reports say Majority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) “hopes to match the serious, dignified tone of deliberation that preceded the Gulf war, in 1991.”

ThinkProgress has obtained a “Confidential Messaging Memo” from Boehner instructing his caucus to conduct a very different kind of deliberation. Here’s a quick summary:

1. Exploit 9/11. The two page memo mentions 9/11 seven times. It describes debating Iraq in the context of 9/11 as “imperative.”

2. Attack opponents ad hominem. The memo describes those who opposes President Bush’s policies in Iraq as “sheepish,” “weak,” and “prone to waver endlessly.”

3. Create a false choice. The memo says the decision is between supporting President Bush’s policies and hoping terrorist threats will “fade away on their own.”

You can read the confidential memo for yourself HERE.

Mostar -- One person was seriously hurt and at least six were injured in clashes between Croat and Muslim football fans.

Police used teargas to disperse the dozens of young people who began fighting after a World Cup match in which Croatia lost a 1-0 decision to Brazil Tuesday, Belgrade's Beta news agency reported.

Police arrested 26 people involved in the clashes, the BBC said.

Many cars and store windows were broken in Mostar, a town that has been ethnically divided since the 1991-95 ethnic wars in the former Yugoslavia.

3. Gidget goes to hell

Gidget dips her hand
In her Daddy's pocket
Silver keys
Shiny red sports car
Speed shift baby
On PCH
She's not going to school
Surfers rule

Oh, oh Gidget goes to hell

Gidget shakes her a** good
As she strolls across the beach
She's so good yea
At chasing all the boys
Hopes are rising
While their chances are falling
Frustration
???

Oh Gidget goes to Hell
Oh oh oh oh oh (etc.)
Gidget goes to hell

She's the center of attention
As she runs into the waves
Paddles outside
Waiting for the big one
Bigger than she knows
???
Flashing white g strap
Bloody bikini

Oh Gidget goes to Hell
Oh oh oh oh oh (etc.)
Gidget goes to hell
