The big talk last week was the al-Sadr had fled the country and was not an influence anymore. Of course people like CNN’s Michael Ware said that is far from the truth. Well once again it looks like the military was wrong and the others were right: The leader of Iraq’s biggest Shiite militia complained […]
I haven’t heard much on this, but it is very interesting. Last year all state offices in Ohio went to Democrats with the exception of the State Auditor. That was won by Republican Mary Taylor. Now that the Democrats have moved in, they are trying to go throw what the Republicans have done and found […]
It was just a little over a month ago that Bush said he told al-Maliki that the U.S. forces would “operate more freely”. This raised a lot of questions in Washington, and rightfully so. It appears that the U.S. was taking it’s cues from the Iraqis on our military presence. Now we have the case […]
MissLaura pointed out this interesting paragraph from a Washington Post article: Vice President Cheney today repeated his charge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s approach toward the Iraq war would benefit al-Qaeda, saying that he was not trying to impugn the speaker’s patriotism but instead hold her accountable for the consequences of her policies. O.K. I’ll […]
The media was reporting yesterday that if Lieberman switched parties it would throw the majority control into the Republicans court. Now we find out that this is actually wrong. The Democrats will retain control of the 110th Senate until the 111th Senate is convened: If Lieberman were to caucus with the Republicans, they would still […]
And by terrorist #1 I mean Joe Lieberman. He is trying to hijack the Democrat’s majority by threatening to switch sides if the Democrats try to restrict funds to the war. Well the Democratic leadership in the Senate is going a step further. They are now working on legislation to re-examine the 2002 authorization to […]
The only problem? These are chemical weapons being manufactured by the insurgents. So we go to war because Saddam “has WMD”. We find no WMD. Saddam is now dead and now we find that the insurgents are making WMD. Does that mean we will have to invade again? I am waiting to see how the […]
Lieberman swore up and down during his campaign that he would not switch parties. Now he isn’t sounding so sure. Editor and Publisher has a preview of an article slated for tomorrow’s Time magazine: “Independent” Sen. Joe Liebeman receives a mini-profile titled “What Joe Wants,” a key question since he is “the Senate’s one-man tipping […]
I am taking a moment to leave the political world and discuss something else. The media has an obsession. That obsession is with stars and it is very dangerous. We are almost on a week now of all this “Britney shaved her head” coverage. When has America sunk so low to be this engaged in […]
