I have been receiving a lot of these lately. It’s just another scam going around like those Nigerian bank scams, but this time it’s taken a turn for the worse by using soldiers: Good day, My name is Edward Osbourne, I am an American soldier, I am serving in the military of the 1st Armored […]
Or should I say – go into full swing? On this historic day we already have the mouthpiece of the right wishing for Obama to fail as President. Rush Limbaugh told his listeners: So I’m thinking of replying to the guy, “Okay, I’ll send you a response, but I don’t need 400 words, I need […]
McCain is back to being a Senator and offering advice on Afghanistan: Sen. John McCain says the situation in Afghanistan will get more difficult before it gets easier — “just like the surge in Iraq was.” The former Republican presidential candidate visited the southern province of Helmand on Sunday, where he said NATO forces are […]
All this man does is lie to the Congress, the American people and the World. It won’t stop until he is out of office either: A previously undisclosed exchange of letters shows that President Bush was told in advance by his top Iraq envoy in May 2003 of a plan to “dissolve Saddam’s military and […]
Seems like we hear these headlines all the time. This week was no exception. The problem with it? This “key leader” was killed over a year ago: The U.S. command in Baghdad this week ballyhooed the killing of a key al Qaeda leader but later admitted that the military had declared him dead a year […]

This is becoming an all to common occurrence: U.S.-led coalition jets bombed a compound suspected of housing al-Qaida militants in eastern Afghanistan, killing seven boys and several insurgents, officials said Monday. Clashes in the south killed a Dutch soldier, while dozens of suspected insurgents were left dead, officials said. In the capital, police said they […]
This is been a real interesting weekend in news from Iraq. Not only have we lost 16 soldiers since Friday, but there has been a lot of back and forth regarding the “progress” of the surge. Here is what today’s New York Times is reporting: Three months after the start of the Baghdad security plan […]
While Bush and Republicans were assailing Nancy Pelosi for meeting with Syria last month, did it in fact backfire and prove that Pelosi’s approach was the right thing to do?

This is a perfect example of how you create more terrorists: A U.S.-led raid Sunday on a suspected insurgent cell in the eastern province of Nangahar left as many as six Afghans dead, including a woman and a teenage girl, and sparked protests by hundreds of angry Afghans chanting, “Death to Bush!” U.S. officials said […]
