There was a lot of attention give to General Petraeus saying he didn’t know if Iraq was making us safer. For those that missed it, here it the clip from yesterday’s Senate hearing: This was a very damming answer and could be detrimental to the warring morale of our troops. For their commander to say […]
This comes as no surprise. A new poll shows a majority of Americans believe Petraeus won’t be give a factual view of Iraq: Most Americans think this week’s report from Army Gen. David H. Petraeus will exaggerate progress in Iraq, and few expect it to result in a major shift in President Bush’s policy. But […]
George Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and the rest of the administration, along with their supporters have continuously championed how the Iraqi security forces are standing up. Well guess what? That was just more lies from an administration that has never told the truth: Retired Marine Corps Gen. James Jones, who led a 20-member panel […]

One interesting article shows how the administration is receiving the news that U.K. forces have pulled out of Basara: The American response to the pull out has so far been muted, despite its crucial timing.

Hastert’s announcement — coupled with similar ones […]
Of course the right will jump on this and say that “oh yeah -the looney left thinks Bush did something to make that bridge collapse”. Well they are right and he has. He has ignored our nation’s infrastructure during his entire presidency and now that neglect is becoming obvious. Harry Reid even gets it on […]
There was a lot of discussion about the CNN/YouTube Democratic debate on the talk shows yesterday, but there was no mention of the stalled Republican debate? Why don’t the Sunday talking heads want people to know the Republicans are to chicken to take questions from the people? They sure talked it up when the Democrats […]
That is the tone being set by Republican presidential candidates: Four days after the Democrat’s ‘landmark’ YouTube debate in South Carolina, only Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) have agreed to participate in CNN’s next web-oriented debate. “Aside from those two candidates, we haven’t heard from anyone else,” Sam Feist of CNN […]
