These Republicans, which are up for re-election, are starting to get scared: The tide of Republican defections from President George W. Bush’s camp swelled Saturday when two more US senators joined the chorus of critics of his Iraq policy, demanding change. But while expressing sharp disagreement with the strategy of “surging” the number of US troops […]
Seems like we hear these headlines all the time. This week was no exception. The problem with it? This “key leader” was killed over a year ago: The U.S. command in Baghdad this week ballyhooed the killing of a key al Qaeda leader but later admitted that the military had declared him dead a year […]
Of course the two deserting Bush now are John Doolittle and Pete Domenici, two people facing tough re-elections as well as investigations into their own backgrounds. While the media is talking about this recent rash of desertion by warhawk Republicans, the Democratic leadership is wondering if they will put up or shut-up. Nancy Pelosi had […]
Today’s Washington Post has an article by right wing hit man John Solomon. Today Solomon goes after John Edwards and his infamous $400 haircut. They are coining it as “the stylist speaks out”, even though I got a feeling Solomon worked hard to get him to “speak out”. Instead of quoting this piece of crap, […]
Josh found this article that appeared in USA Today less than 2 weeks ago: The Supreme Court made it harder Thursday for most defendants to challenge their federal prison sentences. Appeals courts that review prison terms imposed by trial judges may deem them reasonable if they fall within federal sentencing guidelines adopted in the mid-1980s, […]
Not a pardon, but rather he commuted the sentence. That means no jail for Scooter. Bush says he felt the punishment was too harsh. So is that saying that lying about a blow job is a worse crime than lying under oath regarding the outing of a CIA agent? It appears so. Bush just handed […]
That is what he told reporters yesterday. I guess the response would be “strong” when you consider Bush’s response on 9/11/01 after hearing the phrase “the country is under attack” So how much should we be applauding the U.K. government on this? First off – the Brown government had only been in power for 18 […]
Time again to see how the surge is going in Iraq. This has become a monthly series for me, and a chart makes it so much easier to gauge. First for U.S. casualties. These past three months have been the deadliest three month cycle for U.S. forces since the war began. While June was not […]
Looks like Bush doesn’t like his date of September to gauge the progress of the “surge”: Mr. Warner said that July 15, when a Congressionally mandated, preliminary report on the progress in Iraq is due, would be pivotal. The White House has been hoping for far more time, even backing away from its earlier statements […]
This is getting old. Ann Coulter is out on our public airwaves using a defense any 5 year old would use (and she is suppose to be a lawyer?). That defense is simple – “Well Bill Maher did it”. Wow Ann – if Bill Maher jumped off a bridge, would you? So let’s look at […]
