After Six Months

For the last six months, I have consistently commented that I believed the Iraqi occupation could not be sustained beyond a year due to the decline of interest and support of the public. Today, the US military completely validated my comments. On top of that, the political aspect of the War on Terror has almost [...]

Look Out Over There!!!

You know, if you don’t want the Taliban to attack when the Vice-President is in Afghanistan, don’t tell Pakistan about the “secret visit.” I mean, the gossip over there is frightful!
I think it’s funny that the Administration has no plans to engage in diplomacy over the nuclear program in Iran, but they are all for [...]

War Thoughts

This is an interesting article, although I’m not in total agreement with it.
Things I agree with:

The Iraqis don’t want to do anything to police themselves. It’s so much better to allow the infidels to die for them. And our administration enables them to continue to avoid their responsibility.
That we need more like 150k troops in [...]

Operational Failure

Despite all the blah blah blah by Cheney and the rest of the administration, the UK is leaving Iraq because their forces are reaching operational failure. They know where the real threat is, and they are re-prioritizing their forces to Afghanistan. I’m glad someone understands the reality.

Go Barack Obama!
I’m not [...]

Attention Congress

Dear Senators -
Iraq is not World War II. We’re not fighting Nazis, the insurgency is not anything like the Nazis, and the type of warfare is nothing like fighting the Nazis. Evoking the names of people from World War II and their quotes is not relevent – it has no bearing on the actual subject [...]

Coming Straight at you this SATURDAY!

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! For the first time in a long time, come see your Congress work on a weekend! Kinda hard to believe, since under the Republican led Congress they used to only work for three days a week.
Anyway, despite all the insanity this week, people want an end to all the warmongering. Plus, [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day

Just because it’s almost over, here’s some fun Valentine’s Day propaganda.
So, this must be why everyone and their brother wants to be President in ‘08. Living in such a pretty White House.
Meanwhile, Fox News wants Helen Thomas to give up her seat at the White House press conferences for one of their “unbiased” news reporters. [...]
