Funny that when Biden says something like this, he gets chastised by the wingnuts. It will of course be different when you got a 2008 GOP Presidential hopeful saying it: Republican presidential hopeful Sam Brownback said Thursday that Iraq must achieve a “political equilibrium” even if means partitioning the country along ethnic lines. “I’m saying, […]
This is from today’s confirmation hearings for Gates: Robert Gates, U.S. President George W. Bush’s choice to take over the Pentagon, said on Tuesday America was not winning in Iraq and warned the Middle East could explode into violence. Appearing at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Gates said Bush wanted him […]
Raw Story brings us this: report filed by CNN claims that former Secretary of State Colin Powell has said that President Bush must accept that Iraq has descended into civil war. “Powell says he thinks we can call it a civil war,” Cable News Network’s Hala Gorani, reporting from Dubai, said today. Powell also reportedly […]

Five years ago today George Bush announced that Operation Enduring Freedom was underway in Afghanistan. American’s were happy to see justice taking place for the horrible attacks that happened a month before. Five years later, here we are. One of today’s big headlines “Taliban revived in southern Afghanistan“. To the American people, the NATO troops […]
Not the person who told us about WMD’s in Iraq and constantly said the smoking gun for Iraq would come as a “mushroom cloud”. Certainly not the person who told Americans yesterday that they never received any information from the Clinton administration or Richard Clarke on the Osama threat. Oh wait. Damn those archives of […]
This is a very sad “milestone” to reach: Now the death toll is 9/11 times two. U.S. military deaths from Iraq and Afghanistan now match those of the most devastating terrorist attack in America’s history, the trigger for what came next. Add casualties from chasing terrorists elsewhere in the world, and the total has passed […]
