I swear there are just not enough hours in the day, so let me do a quick catch up. First we have the Senate Judiciary Committee issuing a subpoena to former Rove aide Sara Taylor, while the House Judiciary Committee is issuing one to Harriet Meirs. Regarding this matter, John Conyers said, “Let me be […]
Thanks Bush! Thanks Democrats! Seven U.S. soldiers were killed in six separate attacks across Iraq on Saturday, the U.S. military said on Sunday, days after it recorded its deadliest monthly toll in more than two years. All but two of the soldiers were killed by roadside bombs, by far the biggest killers of U.S. troops […]
Another “war” we are losing thanks to George Bush: State Department report on terrorism due out next week will show a nearly 30 percent increase in terrorist attacks worldwide in 2006 to more than 14,000, almost all of the boost due to growing violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, U.S. officials said Friday. The annual report’s […]
The media was reporting yesterday that if Lieberman switched parties it would throw the majority control into the Republicans court. Now we find out that this is actually wrong. The Democrats will retain control of the 110th Senate until the 111th Senate is convened: If Lieberman were to caucus with the Republicans, they would still […]
And by terrorist #1 I mean Joe Lieberman. He is trying to hijack the Democrat’s majority by threatening to switch sides if the Democrats try to restrict funds to the war. Well the Democratic leadership in the Senate is going a step further. They are now working on legislation to re-examine the 2002 authorization to […]
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 […]
Joe Biden, Carl Levin and Chuck Hagel are now working on their non-binding resolution to oppose the troop escalation. President George W. Bush on Wednesday tried to shore up support among fellow Republicans for increasing U.S. troops in Iraq but a bipartisan group of senators drew up a resolution opposing his plan. According to a […]
Iraq was the key issue in the mid-term elections. Republicans and Democrats actually agree on that assessment. Now we are seeing a growing number of Republicans speaking out against the administration (it has become the hip thing to do). As if that isn’t enough, we found out via a new ABC poll of Senators that […]
John Edwards: Two years after his hopes for a Democratic takeover of the White House were narrowly dashed, former vice presidential nominee John Edwards said Thursday that he is making another run at the presidency. Edwards – who is calling for cuts in poverty, global warming and troops in Iraq – scheduled his kickoff in […]
I find this appalling. Today John Boehner, my congressman, decided to blame the generals on the ground for the failures in Iraq. How dare Mr. Boehner take such a stance against our military. This on the very day he threatened to “beat Mr. Kerry to death” because of Kerry’s comments. Now will the media attempt […]
