Of course the right will jump on this and say that “oh yeah -the looney left thinks Bush did something to make that bridge collapse”. Well they are right and he has. He has ignored our nation’s infrastructure during his entire presidency and now that neglect is becoming obvious. Harry Reid even gets it on […]
Lindsey Graham told Tim Russert this morning that we will leave Iraq when OUR generals say so, even though al-Maliki has said we could leave. In other words, we will not recognize the sovereignty of the Iraqi government. I don’t remember anything in the war authorization saying we would be an occupying force. Sounds like […]
The obstructionists just filibustered Jim Webb’s amendment that would require troops have at least the equal amount of time off duty as they do on. Apparently they feel the troops can stay in Iraq as much as needed with little time home. Just to set the record straight, this amendment was taking our military back […]
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 […]
Time again to see how the surge is going in Iraq. This has become a monthly series for me, and a chart makes it so much easier to gauge. First for U.S. casualties. These past three months have been the deadliest three month cycle for U.S. forces since the war began. While June was not […]
Unbelievable. Think Progress has the video up. “I think we have to be prepared to take aggressive military action against the Iranians to stop them from killing Americans in Iraq,†Lieberman said. Host Bob Schieffer followed-up: “Let’s just stop right there. Because I think you probably made some news here, Senator Lieberman. You’re saying that […]
For our military that is. He told George Stephanopoulos this morning that he doesn’t think it’s write for Petraeus to have to prove progress to the Congress this September. Yeah – let’s not have any kind of tests or benchmarks for Iraq. That is basically the same strategy George Bush has used, the same strategy […]
Here we are on the 3rd of the month and already 16 soldiers have died in Iraq.
We are now into the 5th month since the “surge” started and it seems that every month is getting worse than that last. Here is the latest from that: The US military surge in Iraq, designed to turn around the course of the war, appears to be failing as senior US officers admit they need […]
Well how about this new ad by retired Major General John Batiste. Apparently Bush didn’t listen to him when he was a commander on the ground in Iraq and now he is speaking out: So who will be the first wingnut to swiftboat this brave leader? I can hear the insults brewing already.
