Wonky Wednesday: Rudy Skipped Out On the Iraq Study Group

We may be successful in Iraq; we may not be. I […]
Wonky Wednesday: Profiles in Leadership
Harry Truman: The buck stops here. George W. Bush: I’m the decider. Rudy Giuliani: We may be successful in Iraq; we may not be. I don’t know the answer to that. That’s in the hands of other people. This from a man who aspires to be leader of the free world.
Mike Huckabee Enters the Romney Zone
In response to Colin Powell’s statement that he would close Git’mo “this afternoon” Mike Huckabee got all whacky.

Where Flipp Romney and Colin Powell Part Ways
A few weeks ago Flipp was heard to say that he would double the size of the detention facility in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This weekend, Colin Powell, perhaps trying to restore some of the lustre that he once had, said that he would close it this afternoon, if possible. Responding to defenders of the current […]
UPDATE: Oh shit ! Your liberal media
The new guy is a flat out Bushian psycho who is being brought in to expand the war to IRAN. If the Senate approves this nutbag it is “End Times” time. For over a year now that the Joint Chiefs have been blocking the White House’s efforts to expand the war to Iran. No matter […]
Korea and Iraq
Last week W. compared Iraq to the Korean War. The implication of which is that we have been there for 50 years and it still isn’t rosy, but it is stable. There are many flaws to this argument, and I don’t like hunting for fowl that are maimed and captive. There is an interesting point […]
Ho hum, more liberal bias
Oh wait, It looks like this was written by the guy that actually worked on 2 of the classified Iraq Assesments. No doubt he is a liberal pussy, that hates America, works for CBS and doesn’t see all the good that is going on in Iraq (even though he predicted that everything going wrong with […]

Republicans Can’t Even Get It Right When They Make the Rules
Today the judge in the proceedings against a Gitmo detainee, dismissed the charges against the 20 year old because he was not properly charged. The problem, it seems is that he is charge with being an enemy combatant, not an unlawful enemy combatant. The guy has been detained since he was 15. Military prosecutors are […]
Any guesses why they are still looking for WMD’s?
U.N. Team Still Looking for Iraq’s Arsenal Though Work Is Seen as Irrelevant, Security Council Can’t Agree to End It “The reality on the ground is there is no WMD there,” said Charles Duelfer, a former U.N. weapons inspector who published the landmark 2004 report of the CIA-led Iraq Survey Group, which concluded that Iraq’s […]
A Grand Harmonic Convergence of Wingnuttery
