Live Blogging the Petraeus/Crocker Hearings
Well, I didn’t do it, that’s for sure. Even if I wasn’t working, I’m not sure how much more of the neocon-job I can take anymore.
Both Tom Ricks from the Washington Post and Spencer Ackerman at the Washington Independent did live-blog today’s hearings (Ricks will be doing so tomorrow too). Ricks was in [...]
draft anyone?…no, not crappy Bud lite…
“Today’s Army is out of balance,” Cody said.
General Richard A. Cody graduated from West Point in 1972, flew helicopters, ascended to command the storied 101st Airborne Division, and then, toward the end of his career, settled into management; now, at fifty-seven, he wears four stars as the Army Vice-Chief of Staff.
He continued:
The current demand [...]
They Won’t Listen to This, Either
The group of experts who advised the Iraq Study Group was assembled again to provide an assessment of progress in Iraq since the publishing of the ISG report and they’ve released their findings.
According to the WaPo, the group
concludes that political progress is “so slow, halting and superficial” and political fragmentation “so pronounced” that the United [...]
Iraqi Troops Still Not Up To The Task
The New York Times is reporting that during the recent Basra offensive, over 1,000 of the Iraqi soldiers deserted during the fight. This is good news for the Bush admin, since they don’t need to stand down until Iraq stands up. I wonder if that will ever happen.

I thought I would let you know…
The terrorists won. I think when the President suspends the 4th Ammendment as a country we really should pack it in.
Couple that with the fact that no one in our country is even a little bit outraged (those that matter at least) pretty much makes their winning a slam dunk. Bin Laden 500 [...]
“WE DON’T TORTURE. PERIOD”
While reading this, please keep in mind that Mike Castle has supported the President 100% on this subject. Also, don’t forget that I believe Carper signed off on eliminating Habeaus Corpus too which ties directly into this.
Couric asked Mr. Bush if this is a tacit acknowledgement that the way these detainees were handled was wrong. [...]
Bush’s War
This Frontline Documentary is running it second part tonite on PBS — the first part was broadcast last night and is available to see on line at the PBS site.
I was hoping to talk about this today here, but have noticed that Tyler Nixon (writing at Delaware Libertarian) has pretty much said it [...]
4,000 Commas
I had a plan for a post that would have a comma for each of our soldiers that have perished as a result of George Bush’s adventurism and need to overcome his fathers’ inadequacies.
So please click below to see the 4,000 comma’s that symbolize the soldiers sacrificed for this BS war.

and now a word from your pResident
I apologize if I have gotten away from this….
I like to tell people when the final history is written on Iraq, it will look like just a comma because there is — my point is, there’s a strong will for democracy.”

The surge is working, the surge is wor
BAGHDAD — It was billed as a national “dialogue” that would bring Iraq’s disparate and warring factions together to discuss their differences and emerge with a blueprint for peaceful coexistence. But if the national reconciliation conference held here on Tuesday revealed anything, it was that the deep political and religious fissures that run through this [...]

Admiral Fallon Resigns as Commander CENTCOM
He wasn’t Commander for quite a year, but evidently his sin was that he was a Commander on the Ground™ that BushCo did not want to listen to.
Brandon Friedman at Vets Voice has the story.
Admiral Fallon pretty frequently pushed back on the Iran belligerence coming out of the White House, and last spring declined to [...]
What, they couldn’t get to a thousand?
President Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.
The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush and administration officials stated unequivocally on at [...]
Sanity Returns to Time Magazine
Two morons at TIME will be cleaning out their desks very soon. Bill Kristol and Charles Krauthammer will not have their contracts renewed. Kristol is one of the worst offenders in this entire Bush/neocon mess. I am certain that this won’t be the last that we hear of them, but can I at least hope [...]

Biden knows when people are talking out their asses
So I believe him when he says any success in Iraq is a joke.
Biden said, “This whole notion that the surge is working is fantasy.
The Audacity…
In an interview with Charlie Rose, Karl Rove suggested that Congress rushed the President into war. The President didn’t have enough time to assemble a coalition. He didn’t have time to plan. He couldn’t give the inspectors time to do their job. Oh, and he didn’t want to do it at [...]

More Polling Fun
2007 has been the most deadly year in Iraq for American soldiers since the start of the war. Nonetheless, the casualty rate has been dropping in recent months. The better casualty rate in the past few months has not yet lead to a higher approval rating for the war. Perhaps Americans are just done with [...]

NOOOOOOOO, really? I mean, this is…seriously? I don’t believe it!
traders who treat oil like any other commodity are widely thought to be driving prices upward, bolstered by a weak dollar and money flowing out of stock markets and other investment vehicles.
So what you are saying is greedy motherfuckers who know how to manipulate the market and take advantage of it are fucking me [...]
noun verb Iraq
it is so fucking tiresome at this point and yet here they go. It’s like a pimp telling a ho, I won’t slap you, if yo don’t make me.
President Bush, invoking the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, as he has many times before, contended Friday that Iraq is the central front in the struggle [...]

What’s funny is you know that the Administration couldn’t wait to get this video out to scare the public. Unfortunately the leaker will never be found and our efforts were wasted.
Typical, but hey we are safer.

In three out of four locations on the U.S.-Canada border, investigators crossed into the United States from Canada … to simulate the cross-border movement of radioactive materials,” states the report.

As if prisoners should have rights!!
I don’t know what the flying frig is going on with this country lately. First we have these toilet-paper-recycling hippies telling us yet another part of Bush’s Patriot Act is unconstitutional. Now, NOW, we have this crap!
