British troops are starting to leave and Denmark is joining them. Amazing that this is happening while we are increasing our presence there. The other amazing thing is that Blair announced a “timetable”. I guess he wants to embolden the enemy. Will the Republicans and Bush call him a “cut and runner”?
From the White House that is. They are spinning as hard as they can on the Walter Reed fiasco. Tony Snow showed this spin during the first part of today’s presser: The problem is that this spin isn’t going to work. Basically Snow is saying they don’t want to talk about it. They are trying […]
Wow what a liberal person he is. Here is what he said today during his radio address: The problem with our current system is clear: health care costs are rising rapidly, more than twice as fast as wages. These rising costs are driving up the price of health insurance and making it harder for working […]
Bush Won’t comment on the Libby trial. Nothing on implications, pardons, etc. It is no longer “I won’t comment about an ongoing investigation”. He just now says “I won’t comment”. There is a level of guilt in silence.
Bush and Ed Henry from CNN just had an interesting exchange regarding the roadside bombs. Henry was simply looking for more concrete evidence to the claim Iran is supplying the bombs in Iraq. Bush responds with: It is preposterous to think that we would be manufacturing intelligence! Isn’t that what got us into Iraq in […]
At least we admit it now: U.S. military officers offered their condolences on Monday to an Iraqi family south of Baghdad in a rare admission of error after killing two innocent Iraqis in an airstrike last Tuesday. A U.S. military statement released on January 31 said two “insurgents” out of a four-man team were killed […]
This is priceless: Iraq’s prime minister said Wednesday he’s sure Iran is behind some attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and he won’t allow his country to be a battleground for the two nations. “We have told the Iranians and the Americans, ‘We know that you have a problem with each other, but we are […]
Kos had this interesting tidbit yesterday: In an interview, Pelosi also said she was puzzled by what she considered the president’s minimalist explanation for his confidence in the new surge of 21,500 U.S. troops that he has presented as the crux of a new “way forward” for U.S. forces in Iraq. “He’s tried this two […]
During his now infamous interview with Wolf Blitzer yesterday, Cheney appeared as a man on the brink of breaking down. His rhetoric even exhibits a high level of disconnect from what Bush is telling people. It is hard to believe we have a vice-President who is willing to act like this publicly. Perhaps it is […]
Bush: “We had over $18 billion in earmarks last year. We need to cut that in half this session” And which party had control of everything last year? Sounds like a great 2008 campaign soundbite to me. The Republican President admits that his own party is horrible with our money.
