American Racism
In a recent comment in a Stress thread, Scott referred to me as a “round eye”.A That brought back a lot of memories of wars fought long ago so I looked up this article for a little perspective on the subject. The old bromide “some things never change” applies here. We could also apply this [...]
Another retired General "speaks out"
Who is it this time?A None other than Ricardo Sanchez, former commander of the Iraq occupation.A Gen. Sanchez says that we have a crisis of “leadership” in America and must do better.A Wow, how did he figure that one out?A He does not think that America can “win” in Iraq although we may be able [...]
Chumps RUS
They lied to get us into Iraq and they are lying to keep US there…A We keep yapping and tapping about whatever while people keep dying.A Ron Paul talks about getting out of Iraq, Mike Gravel actually has a plan to do it.A The longer that we allow the bozos in charge to play us, [...]
Repression of dissent for technicalities = "Chickenshit"
Back in the day, the term “Chickenshit” was an operative word.A It meant that the government or the military was using some obscure technicality to mess with your life.A This brave MarineAis choosing to protest the needless war in Iraq and the government is threatening to take away his Honorable Discharge status because of his [...]
re: More Baghdad Embassy Photos Leaked
Thanks, Scott, for linking some of the details on the “world’s largest embassy” complex in Baghdad.A TheAscuttlebutt on thisAhas been around for quite some time but it has never been put in tangible form before.A Americans have a hard time focusing on things in the abstract and this will help.A Someone should also check and [...]
Still Lying, Still Delusional…
Bush and Cheney keep repeating the same lies and distortions that they have been using for years and the American people keep scratching their heads.A The Dumbocrats are in full retreat and it looks like more war is in store.A When asked recently about Osama’s whereabouts Bush came up with the following gem… At the [...]
Crazy? Like Foxes…
Had a chance to check out Scott’s recent article in Harpers where he talks about the large number of mercs that the US has employed in Iraq.A He reviews the conflicts that have occurred between them and US & Iraqi troops, asking at the end: “Or are the contractors still shielded by their cronies in [...]
When in doubt, Ignore Reality…
and the warning signs thatAthe president is delusional.A That “unnamed Bush aide” who said we create our own reality certainly was a prophet.A Sounds like this “unnamed”Aindividual could have been Bush himself.A Here we are, 3 years later, and Bush is still trying to reshape events to his liking.A Seems like the decider is having [...]
"Conspiracy theories abound in America's politics."
Time for a review of the Bush family and their connections to a variety of shady dealings.A For starters go here and goAhere…A Seems like these people just keep getting away withAgrand theft andAmurder.A Just ask a few hundred thousand former residents of Iraq and Afghanistan and about 3500 members of the US militaryAwho no [...]
Clarity
An article in the Australian states: “It was not clear whether President George W. Bush was briefed.”A The article centers on the claims that the US government was extensively briefed on the potential dangers of invading Iraq.A So, the “decider” may or may not have been briefed but decided to invade Iraq anyhow…A Sounds really [...]
Running Out of Enemies
We read the following headline in today’s Financial Times: AUS Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson warned a Chinese delegation led by vice-premier Wu Yi that rising anti-China sentiment in the US was being fuelled by ‘persistent trade and financial imbalances’ This interleaves perfectly with the articleAdescribing the “New Asian Arms Race”.A The blood has not finished [...]
The Second Surge
Looks like Bushco is getting desperate…A Too bad that Bush fired Gen. Shinseki when he told him that he needed 300,000 troops, way back when. If any military people read this blog you should be aware of a couple of things: Bush does not care about the people of Iraq or of AfghanistanAandAwhether they ever [...]
