Think back to the surge debate last month. The Republicans took to the floor of the House and stood tight with talking points in hand. They had their little “war” room set-up to counter any Democratic argument and acted like they knew all the inside mumblings of the execution of the surge. One of those […]
Here is one bombing for today Laura: U.S. and Iraqi forces staged raids in Baghdad’s main Shiite militant stronghold Tuesday as part of politically sensitive forays into areas loyal to the radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. Southwest of the capital, three American soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb. Meanwhile, police said a car bomb exploded […]
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 […]
Nancy Pelosi gave a great speech today on the House floor, stating why Bush’s surge should be stopped. The Huffington Post has the transcript up. The vote is coming soon on this resolution and it will pass. It has been frustrating watching it. The Republican’s talking points have been such: If we leave Iraq today, tomorrow […]
Aww look at this picture from the Huffington Post:: Boehner could not stand to hear the stories of a colleagues time as a POW. The AP has this to say: Republicans, now the minority party on the Hill for the time in 12 years, issued impassioned warnings of the consequences of undermining the president’s […]
Now the talking points on this should be very interesting: Senate Democrats reacted angrily yesterday to a report that the U.S. commander in Iraq had privately presented a plan for significant troop reductions in the same week they came under attack by Republicans for trying to set a timetable for withdrawal. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) […]
It has been almost a year since I first mentioned Bunnatine Greenhouse. She was the top procurement officer for the Army Corp of Engineers and was in charge of the contracts for Iraq. Throughout her tenure she received the highest marks on her performance evaluations before being demoted for performance issues. The only issue that […]
We have the makings of a war within the administration now thanks to Condi: Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld said he did not know what Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was talking about when she said last week that the United States had made thousands of “tactical errors” in handling the war in Iraq, a […]
While watching CNN this morning, I was (un)fortunate enough to watch an interview with Dan Bartlett, the White House Chief Propagandist and Spinmeister Communications Director, whose primary responsibility seems to be parroting Administration talking points while wearing a beatific smile and knowingly denigrating the intentions of Democrats. Bartlett seemed intent on focusing on talk of […]
The Planet of Unreality Bush Sees Progress in Iraq, Challenge in Iran Bush: US will not abandon Iraq This is not good. The people running this country sound convinced that reality is whatever they say it is. And if they’ve actually strayed into the realm of genuine self-delusion — if they actually believe the fantasies […]
