Interesting how this changes every other day: Sectarian violence in Iraq has become “self-sustaining,” increasing the challenge of stabilizing the country, the top U.S. intelligence official said on Friday. “Violence between the Sunnis and Shia has become self-sustaining and has spread out to a wider range of … groups and actors,” said John Negroponte, the […]
Earlier today our commander idiot in chief had this to say: President Bush said on Tuesday the hand of al Qaeda lay behind the sectarian violence racking Iraq, and deflected talk of “civil war.” So that means our number one enemy is behind all our troubles then. Great – that means our military should be […]
No wonder more and more soldiers are getting pissed about Iraq. We now have the very government they defend trying to censure their lives online.

While Senate Democrats tip-toe around Feingold’s censure resolution, a group of Democrats in the House are taking action: 32 US House Representatives have signed on as sponsors or co-sponsors of H. Res 635, which would create a Select Committee to look into the grounds for recommending President Bush’s impeachment, Atlanta Progressive News has learned. Their […]
