Setting The Record Straight On Iraq

National Security

This is one of those posts where I feel a need to cut through the bullshit out there and call out both sides when it comes to Iraq. Yesterday President Obama marked the actual end of the Iraq War. There was no aircraft carrier landing or “mission accomplished” banner. Instead it was done in a […]

A Tale Of Two Wars

National Security

That image is the iconic mark of the end of World War 2, when Americans took to the streets to celebrate. Yesterday President Obama announced that the rest of the U.S. troops serving in Iraq will be home by year’s end. He didn’t top gun onto an aircraft carrier and stand in front of a […]

FOX Plays The “Mine’s Bigger Than Yours” Game

National Security

Leave it to Fox Nation to come up with the most idiotic arguments one can ever think of.  Just check out this headline: Fact: Bush Had 2 Times More Coalition Partners in Iraq Than Obama Has in Libya Oh my – Bush must have been far more loved by the world than Obama! I mean […]

From Top To Bottom – A Look Back Over The Past Two Years

Politics

Like many others, I have spent the last few days really contemplating what will happen in the elections this November. As much as I want to be optimistic, I just can’t bring myself to it. Democrats are looking at a very dark mid-term and, as Peter Daou puts it, these are “dark days for the […]

Who Fell For The Breitbart Story?

Media

I finally get a morning to sit here, drink some coffee and watch a little early news. I turn on Morning Joe and have heard one theme all morning – the White House fell for an edited video posted on the web by Andrew Breitbart. Joe Scarborough has been on fire blasting the White House […]

Cantor Goes There On McChrystal

National Security

Via TPM: Washington, D.C. – House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) today issued the following statement about an article in Rolling Stone regarding the top military officer in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal: “Obviously a General and his top brass don’t make statements like these without being frustrated, so I hope that the President’s meeting with […]

Do Right Wing Bloggers Even Understand Politics?

Society

So I was reading this over at Power Line: Whenever President Bush talked about immigration, his approval ratings went down. It was like clockwork: liberals never understood that the fatal decline in Bush’s popularity during his second term had at least as much to do with his advocacy of “comprehensive immigration reform” as with war-weariness.

Unemployment Benefits Run Out For Thousand Today

Economy

And we can thank Tom Coburn for this: Extended unemployment benefits will temporarily expire for thousands of Americans on Monday because the Senate went on its spring recess without approving a one-month deadline extension. The extension, which had bipartisan support, would have cost about $10 billion, but a lone Republican, Sen. Tom Coburn, said no […]

Keep An Eye On Iraq

National Security

Last night I posted the good news that December marked the first month since the start of the Iraq war that no U.S. service members died in hostile actions. I hope that is the start of a new trend, but given the recent developments of a judge dismissing all charges against Blackwater, I can’t be […]
