But the commanders want until next year for the “surge” to work: The Pentagon announced yesterday that 35,000 soldiers in 10 Army combat brigades will begin deploying to Iraq in August as replacements, making it possible to sustain the increase of U.S. troops there until at least the end of this year. U.S. commanders in […]
Is it the troops? Nope. His true concern is that if Iraq don’t get better by September, it might hurt the Republicans in 2008. That is what he told Chris Wallace on FOX yesterday. Crooks and Liars has the video. Another really interesting thing he said in the interview was we won’t know until then […]
Well – he sure didn’t do it during the debate. Hell he didn’t even mention Bush’s name: Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani said in Iowa on Friday that President Bush’s response to terrorism will ensure his legacy is that of “a great president.” “He will be, I believe, a president who will be viewed by […]

Democrats couldn’t muster the 60 votes needed to bring the bill up for a vote. Under the Medicare drug benefit, private insurance plans negotiate with drug makers over the price of medicine for their […]
Today the number of soldiers killed in Iraq reached 3,308, including 3 soldiers killed today. Also under the radar is the U.K.’s decision to drop the phrase “war on terror”: The British government has stopped using the phrase “war on terror” to refer to the struggle against political and religious violence, according to a Cabinet […]
Republicans HATE Jon Stewart. They feel like he is some liberal God, so they always attack his show saying the viewers are “uneducated” or “not informed”. I have heard this same old line on FOX time and time again. Well let’s look at the numbers in a new poll that has just been released by […]
I have been fuming over this one for the past week. The Mitt Romney flack over him being a hunter has exposed a bigger problem in our political system. It doesn’t matter if he hunted 2 times or 1000 times or if he has killed 2 rabbits or killed enough to put them on the […]
