From The Nation:
Myth 1. It’s a dangerous world. We face an array of serious national security threats that require an experienced Commander in Chief.
Myth 2. The surge has worked. To withdraw from Iraq now would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and embolden Islamic extremists.
Myth 3. We cannot allow Afghanistan to become a safe […]
Madness I tell you:
Quoting senior diplomatic sources, Britain’s The Guardian said Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert raised the issue with Mr Bush during his visit to Israel for the 60th anniversary of the Jewish state’s founding.
In a one-to-one meeting on May 14, Mr Bush told the Israeli leader he would not support such a strike […]
From a former member of the House of Representatives:
In 2002, President Bush publicly ordered Israeli prime minister Ariel Sharon to end a bloody, destructive rampage through the Palestinian West Bank. He wilted just as publicly when he received curt word from Sharon that Israeli troops would not withdraw and would continue their military operations. A […]
John McCain and the Republicans are unbelievable. Remember this statement from their own camp:
While the media is slowly starting to call the McCain campaign on their dishonest tactics, McCain’s staff boasts that they don’t care. As a McCain spokesman told the Politico, “We’re running a campaign to win. And we’re not too concerned about what […]
From Iran’s Press TV, quoting Arab-language Israeli daily al-Arab:
The Arab-language Israeli daily al-Arab reported that the three agents were killed on Wednesday in a blast at a building which was guarded by the US security firm Blackwater. According to report, the three agents carried fake Iraqi passports.
Meanwhile, the Iraqi media reported that hundreds of Mossad […]
In what can only be described as a direct response to America helping Georgia (a country about half the way around the world), Russia will now be aiding Iran even more (a country that sits firmly below it on a map).
America’s misguided imperialistic zeal and delusions of remaining grandeur and might will now open a […]
More madness from Israel and Iran:
As the clash between the US and Israel on the one hand and Iran on the other reaches a critical level, the powers that be have been desperately at work spinning a web of deception that may take the already war-exhausted Americans into the military conflict of the century, a […]
Odd how everyone is talking about the economy, yet Dubya manages to pour $162B more into the disasters that are Afghanistan and Iraq:
U.S. President George W. Bush has signed a war funding measure that will pay for the ongoing fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan and guarantee troop support well past his presidency.
(…)
The legislation will bring […]
Call me a cynic, but this is very ironic, on so many levels.
Lou Dobbs argues that American leaders have squandered our wealth. He’s right.
We elected these people because we let religious fanaticism blur our view. Odd, because we want to nuke people pre-emptively because their religious fanaticism blurs their judgment supposedly. That’s ironic, if you […]
This is fascinating, I personally doubt it though:
Later, I asked a British friend if the world should now be concerned about the possibility of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons falling into the hands of Al-Qaeda, the Taliban or any other extremist group. His answer was that Washington had a plan and that it was coordinating with a […]
