Perhaps if John McCain and Sarah Palin worried about what was actually happening in the world, instead of spreading their lies, they would see what is happening: U.S. airstrikes in Afghanistan on Aug. 22 killed some 30 civilians, far more than the military has previously acknowledged, defense officials said Wednesday. So which candidate knows about […]
It looks like Obama did. First a CNN phone poll concluded this: Who won… Obama 51%, McCain 38%. Who would better handle Iraq: Obama 52%, McCain 47%. Economy: Obama 58%, McCain 37%. By 40%-22%, a CBS snap poll found undecided voters favored Obama: Forty percent of uncommitted voters who watched the debate tonight thought Barack […]
It looks like the Sunni Awakening is falling asleep: But in Adhamiya and in some other areas of Iraq, the patrols, hailed by many as heroic for making the streets safer, have posed increasing problems. Commanders quarrel and jockey for power and territory. Finger-pointing and threats are common. Some residents complain that the men, not […]
From the proposed bailout: Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency. Do we really trust the administration that brought us Katrina and Iraq to handle this problem with the actual […]
The New York Times goes into detail of how Sarah Palin is exactly like George Bush. She doesn’t care about experience, but rather loyalty when it comes to hiring people. People who don’t agree with her aren’t simply disagreeing. They are foes who feel her wrath. It’s this style of government that got us into […]
So Sarah Palin is back in Alaska today to see her son, who is off to fight in Iraq. She has been touting this since her debut 13 days ago. We all knew the date, because she told it to us. Why is she letting the whole world know the date of her son’s deployment? […]
This week has been totally dominated by fake outrage and a total silence on the issues from the McCain campaign. We’ve heard about lipstick, fish, teaching sex-ed to six year olds, and a plethora of lies from McCain and Palin. At the same time Obama has been talking about education, the economy, Iraq, the war […]
Publicly vetting a candidate is so interesting: After taking over as Mayor of the small town of Wasilla, Palin fired the longtime local police chief. The former police chief, Irl Stambaugh says he was fired because he stepped on the toes of Palin’s campaign contributors, including bar owners and the National Rifle Association. It seems […]
It looks like Iraq wants us out by date certain now: Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki said Monday no security agreement with the United States could be reached unless it included a “specific deadline” for the withdrawal of all American troops from Iraq. Last week, U.S. and Iraqi officials said the two sides had agreed tentatively […]
The administration has agreed to Iraq’s timetable for withdrawal. Whenever a Democrat mentioned the word “timetable”, they were termed as a “defeatist”. So will the media call out Bush for the same thing now? The Republicans wanted this game of name-calling, now it’s time to show them what it’s like.
