Laura Bush was on Larry King last night (amazing – he had a night without Anna Nicole) and when asked about Iraq, she gave a very delusional answer: She says that the “one bombing a day” is what is discouraging Americans from the war. Interesting she said that on a day there were two deadly […]
MissLaura pointed out this interesting paragraph from a Washington Post article: Vice President Cheney today repeated his charge that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s approach toward the Iraq war would benefit al-Qaeda, saying that he was not trying to impugn the speaker’s patriotism but instead hold her accountable for the consequences of her policies. O.K. I’ll […]
First we got the Military Times Group, who is responsible for publishing the Army Times and all the other main military magazines, publishing a rare joint editorial on Monday. That editorial is saying “Rumsfeld must go”: “So long as our government requires the backing of an aroused and informed public opinion … it is necessary […]
You can tell McCain is really starting to worry about his chances for a White House run in 2008: Republican Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), a staunch defender of the Iraq war, on Tuesday faulted the Bush administration for misleading Americans into believing the conflict would be “some kind of day at the […]
Yesterday Tony Snow said Bush did not learn of the Haditha massacre by Marines until Time published an article in their March 27, 2006 issue. For something this big to be kept from the commander in chief (if they are being truthful), lends even more credibility to Murtha’s statements that this has been a cover […]

In […]
Remember the news last week that the insurgency was “fizzling out”? Well that point seems to now be as invalid as Cheney’s “last throes” comment from last spring. Baghdad (Reuters) – Five U.S. soldiers were killed when a roadside bomb hit their vehicle while on patrol in Baghdad on Thursday, the U.S. military said. Another […]
It seems like every time we hear someone say the insurgency is fizzling out then they prove to us they are still alive and well. Last week we heard this claim: Washington — Insurgents in Iraq are showing little capacity to keep up numerous and persistent attacks, a senior U.S. general in Baghdad says. At […]
A walk back in time. A time when a war with Iraq was a certainty and not a current event. That time is February of 2003. During that time our leaders on Capital Hill were trying to get answers to important questions regarding the upcoming war. They had Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld sitting before […]
What ever happened to Dick Cheney’s assertion that the insurgency is in it’s “last throes”? Well to add insult to injury, I just came across a report by theReuters that says insurgent arracks on U.S. convoys has doubled in the past year. Remember in January when we were told these attacks would decrease because of […]
