Sounds more and more like it might just be talk. A lot of the reduction is happening because the administration has no option. Troops will have served their maximum required time by law, and Bush knows he can’t get that extended. As matter of fact, Jim Webb is still pushing his plan to get troops […]
May you spend an eternity burning in hell. I say this because of the disgust I have for a person who can so easily diminish the sacrifices made by so many military families and soldiers for this war in Iraq. To consider the 3,700+ lives lost in Iraq as a “small price” is unconscionable. The […]
There was a lot of attention give to General Petraeus saying he didn’t know if Iraq was making us safer. For those that missed it, here it the clip from yesterday’s Senate hearing: This was a very damming answer and could be detrimental to the warring morale of our troops. For their commander to say […]
So here we are – the 6th anniversary of 9/11. All the television stations are replaying their coverage of the attacks and we will be reminded of it all day. I think it is an insult to Americans to constantly remind them of the attacks. There isn’t any other nation that goes through this kind […]
This comes as no surprise. A new poll shows a majority of Americans believe Petraeus won’t be give a factual view of Iraq: Most Americans think this week’s report from Army Gen. David H.

When children draw posters that talk about the assassination of George Bush, they are questioned by the Secret Service. When someone makes a movie fictionalizing George Bush getting assassinated, that movie is blocked from this country. So then how can a rock star like Ted Nugent get on stage and make threats against two Democratic […]
Or something the Republicans never do: MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough conducted a phone interview on Thursday morning with former white House press secretary Ari Fleischer, who heads a group that is running an ad campaign to convince Congress to continue funding President Bush’s Iraq War. “When we see all the missteps [in Iraq] … it makes […]
We have yet another example of George Bush’s disregard for the laws of this country: Opening a new front in the Bush administration’s battle to keep its records confidential, the Justice Department is contending that the White House Office of Administration is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. The department’s argument is in […]
Since my last post about the comment left at Maine Web Report calling for a terrorist attack at San Franciso, a lot has happened. I did similar posts atCrooks and Liars and Firedoglake. Markos also did a post on the comment. In walk Newsbusters. Now they are saying how wrong we are about it and that […]
