Because he doesn’t get what he wants: President Bush said Friday that Congress must stay in session until it approves legislation modernizing a U.S. law governing eavesdropping on foreigners. “So far the Democrats in Congress have not drafted a bill I can sign,” Bush said at FBI headquarters, where he was meeting with counterterror and […]
When all the debate was going on about funding the Iraq war, the right was out there accusing the Democrats of preventing money from going through that provides our troops with these bomb resistant vehicles. All we heard from that side is how the Democrats were putting our troops in harms way. Well this war […]
That is a possibility MSNBC is reporting tonight: The investigation must be reopened now. Considering there were calls from the military to the White House regarding the death, then the investigation must be fully opened to the White House. Executive privilege can not be used to cover up a possible murder either. If this is […]
Petraeus’ report is on September 15. We got the interim report this week stating that they are only “satisfactorily” on track to meet 8 of 18 benchmarks. Now check out this news: The White House said Friday that Iraq’s parliament may take the month of August off but downplayed the impact on political reconciliation efforts […]
These Republicans, which are up for re-election, are starting to get scared: The tide of Republican defections from President George W. Bush’s camp swelled Saturday when two more US senators joined the chorus of critics of his Iraq policy, demanding change.

Not a pardon, but rather he commuted the sentence. That means no jail for Scooter. Bush says he felt the punishment was too harsh. So is that saying that lying about a blow job is a worse crime than lying under oath regarding the outing of a CIA agent? It appears so. Bush just handed […]
That is what he told reporters yesterday. I guess the response would be “strong” when you consider Bush’s response on 9/11/01 after hearing the phrase “the country is under attack” So how much should we be applauding the U.K. government on this? First off – the Brown government had only been in power for 18 […]
Looks like Bush doesn’t like his date of September to gauge the progress of the “surge”: Mr. Warner said that July 15, when a Congressionally mandated, preliminary report on the progress in Iraq is due, would be pivotal. The White House has been hoping for far more time, even backing away from its earlier statements […]
No matter how much Tony Snow and the rest of the White House try to spin it, the fact remains – the news coming out of Iraq is not good. GOP Senators are also seeing this and not buying the typical spin: Sen. George Voinovich said Tuesday the U.S. should begin pulling troops out of […]
