Oh joy: President George W. Bush will address a war-weary American public next week to “lay out a vision” for the U.S. role in Iraq as he tries to sell his strategy in the wake of a crucial report to Congress. Heading home from an overseas trip on the eve of a political showdown over […]
These Republicans, which are up for re-election, are starting to get scared: The tide of Republican defections from President George W. Bush’s camp swelled Saturday when two more US senators joined the chorus of critics of his Iraq policy, demanding change.

Did anyone thing otherwise?

What makes it so funny is the fact that during his first year in office (two months after 9/11) he issued an executive order protecting Presidential records: Overturning the […]
Yesterday Bush said he was seeing “remarkable progress” in Iraq because of his surge. Yeah – remarkable progress on the day 9 U.S. soldiers were killed along, with over 140 Iraqi’s. So if things are going so well then why are we increasing the surge by 33%? The number of U.S. troops needed to carry out President […]
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 […]
