I am sure everyone has heard the news that the Taliban bombed a U.S. base in Afghanistan, where Dick Cheney was staying. The Taliban then released a statement that they were targeting Cheney. With all this news, there is a key question that isn’t gaining that much attention. Take this line: “This shows how much […]
The only problem? These are chemical weapons being manufactured by the insurgents. So we go to war because Saddam “has WMD”. We find no WMD. Saddam is now dead and now we find that the insurgents are making WMD. Does that mean we will have to invade again? I am waiting to see how the […]
Remember a couple of years ago when Rumsfeld was asked by a active soldier in Iraq how come they didn’t have armor? How about all the times we have heard parents of troops saying they have to send money to our troops to buy armor and the Pentagon not wanting to reimburse them, or even […]
The plans to invade Iraq, written by Tommy Franks in 2002, shed light on the thinking within the military and administration prior to the invasion.

They don’t even think our troops deserve a couple hours of their time on the Senate floor. Why? To protect the most hated President in the history of the United States. This should mean a new war if the Democrats care about Iraq. Throw the “bi-partisan” bullshit out the window. The Democrats are in power […]
This is priceless: Iraq’s prime minister said Wednesday he’s sure Iran is behind some attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and he won’t allow his country to be a battleground for the two nations. “We have told the Iranians and the Americans, ‘We know that you have a problem with each other, but we are […]
