So here we go with another “foiled terror plot”. You can tell mid-terms are getting close. Anyways here is the rundown of headlines covering it: Britain says it foils “mass murder” plane bomb plot US raises air security alert to red for first time Airline plot involved liquid explosives Terror concerns seen pressuring markets BA […]
Earlier this week, Bush was in Florida to speak about our “robust and strong economy”. As matter of fact, that is what all his speeches are suppose to focus on in the near future. I wonder if this news will change that agenda? The nation’s economy generated 113,000 jobs in July, the Labor Department reported […]
This is a very scary scenario and could result in the neo-cons getting their dream of World War 3: Turkish officials signaled Tuesday they are prepared to send the army into northern Iraq if U.S. and Iraqi forces do not take steps to combat Turkish Kurdish guerrillas there – a move that could put Turkey […]

So how will the radical right label all these people now? A new Gallup poll finds that roughly 2 in 3 Americans urge a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, with 31% wanting this to start immediately. But it also found that while 64% feel they “understand” the Bush administraton’s argument for staying in Iraq, only 54% […]
