Well how about this new ad by retired Major General John Batiste. Apparently Bush didn’t listen to him when he was a commander on the ground in Iraq and now he is speaking out: So who will be the first wingnut to swiftboat this brave leader? I can hear the insults brewing already.
“Compromise”. That is what Bush said he wanted. Of course to Bush, compromise means he takes, takes, takes and doesn’t give in return: President Bush would veto a bill drafted by House Democratic leaders that would fund the Iraq war only into the summer months, his spokesman said Wednesday. And the Pentagon said the funding […]
But the commanders want until next year for the “surge” to work: The Pentagon announced yesterday that 35,000 soldiers in 10 Army combat brigades will begin deploying to Iraq in August as replacements, making it possible to sustain the increase of U.S. troops there until at least the end of this year. U.S. commanders in […]
As if our depleted man power isn’t enough, now we get our war planes running down: The Air Force’s fleet of warplanes is older than ever and wearing out faster because of heavy use in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the service’s top combat commander.

Well – he sure didn’t do it during the debate. Hell he didn’t even mention Bush’s name: Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani said in Iowa on Friday that President Bush’s response to terrorism will ensure his legacy is that of “a great president.” “He will be, I believe, a president who will be viewed by […]
Newsweek just released a new poll with Bush at a 28% approval rating. Even worse for the Republicans is their future. Here is the breakdown by who will win in which match-up: While the poll has some high marks for Clinton, it’s not all good news. Though the New York senator and former first lady […]
I have had some questions and comments about my post the other night regarding the radio frequencies that were utilized by emergency services.
