"I am not pro-abortion; I am against government-enforced maternity."
"If those Gitmo guys are terrorists, try 'em and fry 'em; if they're a threat, prove it. But you can't just hold 'em without a trial. It's un-American."
Well, President Obama authorized the armed response that resulted in the freedom of a ship captain held by pirates off the Somali coast. That's quite a difference from the disgraceful way President Bush acted in the crises during his first year.F
Once again, one of ex-President Bush's appointees flubs it. Chief Justice Roberts can't remember the Presidential oath of office that he's administering.It seems to me that, on the most important day of your life, you can be bothered to a
Well, well, well. Isn't that just like President Bush? I swear, this guy doesn't believe he's still President. Now he's punting on fuel efficiency rules that should have been decided on a year ago!And if that's not enough, a new r
Man, I hate to admit it but I think President Bush is right on this one: "'I understand Israel's desire to protect itself,' Bush said in the Oval Office. 'The situation now taking place in Gaza was caused by Hamas.'"Now,
President Bush did a pretty good job dodging a couple shoes the other day -- almost as if he's had practice.I notice the Secret Service took their time tackling the guy. Obviously, none of them were willing to take a shoe for the President. I gue
Where is President Bush? Why don't I hear or read anything about the President of the United States taking action on the economy or the wars we're in? Where could he be..?Oh, he's giving exit interviews trying to burnish his tar
The New York Times had a disturbing story today. A tale of bumbling incompetence in our attempts to get bin Laden.It tells of fights btween the CIA, Pentagon and State Department over who gets to say when Special Forces can take action against the al
A couple weeks ago, the Senate Intelligence Committee released a report detailing how the Bush administration knowingly cherry-picked questionable intelligence linking Saddam Hussein to al-Qaeda and Weapos of Mass Destruction -- claims we now know to
A new study of captured official Saddam Hussein documents yields... no connection between Saddam and al-Qaeda. Despite Defense Secretary Rumsfelds assurances of 'bulletproof" evidence of a connection, none existed.Now, President Bush claims
Pakistani dictator Pervez Musharraf lost big in Pakistan's parliamentary elections over the weekend. Poor President Bush is pleading for the new parliament not to oust him as President.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates is in Europe trying to scare up support for Afghanistan by decoupling it from Iraq, "I worry that for many Europeans the missions in Iraq and Afghanistan are confused..." Gee, I wonder why that would be so.Per
It's getting tough to be a pundit. The absolutely surreal statements coming out of the administration and the sheer unashamed hypocrisy from the Republican Party sometimes leave me speechless. I sometimes wonder if the Bush administration and the
It's the classic horror movie cliche: Only one of the kids at the summer camp understands the danger everyone is in, but he can't convince anybody that they're about to get chainsawed. The Bush administration must feel that way about Iran
It's only Tuesday and there's already been a lot of buzz about Iraq this week.Over the weekend, we learned that the progress report Democrats in Congress forced the President to produce will reveal that the Iraqi governmen
President Bush spent the fouth spouting garbage about fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here."If we were to quit Iraq before the job is done, the terrorists we are fighting would not declare victory and lay down th
I was all set to blog on the Glasgow terrorist bombing and point out how Republicans suck at fighting terrorism (here's some other guy making the point instead), and then Bush had to go ahead and free 'Scooter' Libby. Sure, Libby sti
The other day, Vice President Cheney justified his non-compliance with a presidential executive order by claiming he's part of the legislative branch. I can only conclude that Cheney is smokin' dope. The Constitution (Article I
Jimmy Carter's Presidency is much maligned. Despite making America almost totally independent of foreign oil and choosing to fund the B-2 stealth bomber rather than the B-1, for many Americans Carter holds the title of Worst Presid
Tomorrow, President Bush will veto a bill that would have changed the couorse in Iraq. The bill (full text) would give our troops everything they need -- including an achievable mission: hunt down al-Qaeda in Iraq, train Iraqi forces and pr
Last November, Americans voted for a course change in Iraq. It's long been obvious that there aren't enough US troops in Iraq to clamp down on sectarian violence, as well as train Iraqi police and army units and secure Iraq's borders
The Washington Post had a really interesting article yesterday about the US troops patrolling Sadr City in Baghdad called, "Learning to Live With the Mahdi Army". In a nutshell, the troops don't think they're making any difference,M
