While the media and right try to pin everything involving torture on Nancy Pelosi, today it’s time to go back to the real criminals involved – the previous administration. At a time when the American press abandoned their core principals and became nothing more than an echo chamber for the Bush White House, Cheney was […]
For years we on the left have been saying that George W. Bush was a valuable asset to al Qaeda. His policies and tone alone provided a great tool for al Qaeda to use when it comes to recruiting. Now the terrorist group is facing a new challenge: With Obama, al-Qaeda faces an entirely new […]
Two new items up at Straight Talk McCain. The first is about another gaffe John made yesterday, this time in Israel. He compared the Jewish holiday Purim, a time to celebrate the Jewish people being saved from mass execution while living in Persia, to “their version of Halloween“. Secondly – it appears that this weeks […]
Well it was all about trying to deter Iran: In an interview with CBS’ “60 Minutes” to be broadcast on Sunday, FBI agent George Piro describes conversations with Saddam in the months after his capture in December 2003. Piro said Saddam, who was hanged from crimes against humanity in December 2006, wanted to maintain the […]
Hillary told Tim Russert that Bush would have gone to war against Saddam with or without a resolution. Excuse me, but WTF? That’s not a good statement for someone who wants to be President to make.

First the blame for all the problems in Iraq went to al Qaeda. Once that theory was debunked, the administration aimed the blame to Iran. Now look at what is happening: There is no evidence the Iranian government is stirring trouble in Iraq, a U.S. general said on Monday, playing down suggestions that Tehran will […]
Newsweek has an interesting article that brings up the fact Karl Rove took out a $100,000 line of credit right after his last appearance before the grand jury. It also talks about the $5 million trust set up for the Libby defense. On the board of this trust is some major Republican fund raisers but […]
Today is the fourth anniversary of September 11. The day when America watched in shock and awe as the icons of the New York skyline quickly crumbled to the ground. It is the one day where we can finger the actual change in America’s goals and defenses. Since 9-11 America has focused on one threat. […]
