Hamas Victory is Bush "War Against Terror" Failure
(42 comments) In the spin wars, the Hamas victory over Fatah, in taking Gaza, represents a major failure of the Bush "war-against-terror." This article uses right wing spin terminology to make extra clear how the Hamas victory can be seen as a major Bush failure. The question is, why aren't the lamestream media putting it that way?

Restricted Military Equipment "Slips Through Cracks" on Way to Iran

Can Democracy and Muslim Sharia Law Live Together?
(26 comments) It doesn't look like democracy fares very well when Sharia Law is allowed much power. In supposedly democratic Malaysia, a country which describes itself as a Muslim country, the right of a person to choose his or own religion is no longer in question. You can't decide to stop being a Muslim if that's what you want to do.

Iraq and Wounded Knee-- Over 130 Years of US Criminal Behavior and Erosion of Democracy
(11 comments) I just watched the HBO docu-drama, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. It is impossible to not compare the story of the treatment of America's indigenous people, the behavior of the military and the leadership of the nation, with what we've been subjected to by the Bush administration and the Republican hawk leadership. Same-old solutions will not work. The Two Party System WIll not save democracy.

Cable News' War Against America; Time to Fight Back
(30 comments) This past week, all the news networks have been intolerable. At a time when the Iraq disaster is getting far worse, when corruption is coming out so fast that Bushco's whack-a-mole cover-ups have not been able to keep up, our national media go psycho bonkers on covering the VA Tech massacre, filling in gaps with Anna Nicole's baby and the NASA nut. This is not an accident. It's a way to NOT cover news that should be featured.

AIPAC is Bad for Israel. It needs Competition
(27 comments) Israel is in the same boat as America, with policy making leadership that is really bad-- bad for Israel, bad for America, bad for the world. That said, I find AIPAC has been bad for Israel and bad for the USA. They have effectively stifled discussion of the full range of options for Israel by US legislators. American Jews must make change happen.

Bush's Monica- No Blowjob-- Just Screwing
(7 comments) Monica Goodling could be the straw that breaks the camel's back for the Bush/Cheney whitehouse. But instead of giving Bush a blowjob, she spread her legs, integrity-wise, and screwed American justice. She helped set up, plan and coordinate the firing of at least eight US attorneys who were engaged in investigations of Republican corruption.

Time to End the Interim Appointment Rat-Hole

Dem Failure to Block War Now is Replay of Their Inexcusable Vote for the War in 2003
(3 comments) Just as there were millions of Americans who saw through the WMD lies that Bush and Cheney used to sell the war-- to the Democrats who voted for it, there are even more Americans-- voters-- who know that the Democrats are doing it again. They are wasting time and American lives voting on legislation that is based on lies and deception.

Edwards Did It. The Rest of the Dem '08 Prez Candidates Should Refuse to Do The Fox Debate in Nevada.
(13 comments) The Dem candidates will show whether they understand that the 2008 presidential race will be an exercise in asymmetric WAR, and that Fox will be one of the main weapons of the opposition. Any candidate who supports FOX by participating in a Fox special deserves Democratic supporter suspicion over his or her trustworthiness.

Dems Must Embrace Their Power They Have NOW to End The War: but First Must Overcome Their Fear
(12 comments) The Republicans are very smart. They know that the Democrats have the power to stop the war. Yes, The Democrats have the power and the votes right now to stop the war. They don't need Republican help. They don't need Joe Lieberman. They don't even need all the bluedog dems. The problem is the Republicans have, brilliantly, made the Democratic leadership afraid to use their power.

Walter Reeding Iraq--
(5 comments) This is a pattern that is not isolated to Walter Reed Hospital, not isolated to the Military hospital system, not isolated to the VA medical system. It's a top down pattern, just like Abu Ghraib, just like the humvee armor, just like the absense of kevlar vests... just like the failed WMD intelligence... just like the failure to secure Iraqi weapons and ammunition depots immediately after Bush's "mission accomplished."

Bush Funding Jihadists Connected to al Qaeda as Part of Iran War He Has ALREADY STARTED

Call Me Paranoid. Pentagon Creating Red State Officer Corps
(12 comments) The US military has moved reserve officer training corps (ROTC) out of big cities and the northeast part of the US-- to the south and midwest. No wonder troops are so conservative. The army doesn't try very hard to recruit leaders from blue states. Allowing my paranoia to run wild, let's talk about the implications of a red state army officer corps.

The Iraq War Vote Test
(25 comments) Back in 2003, I passed the Iraq war vote test. So did millions of other americans who refused to buy Bush's WMD and Saddam story. I didn't buy Colin Powell's moment of betrayal of America and his personal integrity. Neither did 100+ members of congress. Now some of those who voted for the war are struggling with how to explain their votes. Well they should be struggling. Why should we trust their judgment and courage now?
