There is a guy in the Pentagon whose job it is to come up with butt-stupid policies that are destined to infuriate the masses of folks who want to do right by our young people in uniform. He’s probably a Rumsfeld holdover.
That is the only reason I can figure for this latest outrage.
The Defense Department […]
My friend Kevin Spidel sent me an alert about this one a few days ago. He used to work for the PDA, now he works with a fella named Rev. Lennox Yearwood. Yearwood was going to observe the testimony of Gen. David Petraeus, his right along with the rest of us. Here is what happened […]
So, what left-wing defeatocrat said this?
None of you should believe we are winning this war. There is no evidence that we are winning this war.
So, who was this? Cindy Sheehan? Howard Dean? Barack Obama?
Nope, it was Newt Gingrich.
This video has been going around. Mika Brzeziński of MSNBC refused to read a story about Paris Hilton last week, especially because it was chosen as top story over Richard Lugar’s plans to take a walk on the Iraq War.
Some folks are wondering if the event was “staged.” So what if it was? She made […]
Republican Mahout Randy Pullen blogged that Sen. Harry Reid should step down because of his statements about Gen. Peter Pace. For some reason, Reid is not allowed to say anything bad about the guy in time of war without it causing major damage, but the president can actually have the guy sacked in time of […]
Once again, the logic of our friends on the right leaves me dizzy. I guess I should stop expecting consitency and sense from those guys.
The current deal getting conservative panties in a bunch is the knock against Senator Harry Reid for daring to criticize General Peter Pace. They shout, how dare he criticize a man […]
The zeitgeist about this one is that Robert Gates wants to bring in his own man, and Peter Pace is seen as Donald Rumsfeld’s man.
Anyone think that this actually changes a darned thing? So, will this new admiral he likes be in charge of the war or will it be this Douglas Lute fellow?
I really have little interesting […]
State Rep. Russell Pearce, such a good friend of this blog, is asking Sen. John McCain to resign. McCain has missed numerous votes because of his campaign.
The Tucson Citizen editorialized about this back in March, and Talking Points Memo has pointed out that many of these votes that McCain has missed have been on the very issue […]
I’m sure that many of you have heard about this ad being run by VoteVets in the states and districts of vulnerable members of congress. It features Maj. Gen. John Batiste, who commanded the First Infantry Division, the Big Red One, in Iraq. He also commanded troops in the first Gulf War and led an […]
Story is still developing, but a group of eleven Republican congressmen visited the White House this afternoon, met with the President and high ranking members of his staff and told him that he has no credibility on Iraq. Think Progress has the story.
I have only heard two names (Mark Kirk of Illinois and Charlie Dent […]
The Politico, a site I don’t reference much because their ownership leaves me wondering about their sense of balance and I’m not into their overdependence of Matt Drudge as a source, ran a story today on House Democrats who are part of the “Out of Iraq” caucus and their struggle between wanting to end the war as […]
From Pope Benedict XVI’s Easter Message:
Elsewhere too, peace is sorely needed…Afghanistan is marked by growing unrest and instability; In the Middle East, besides some signs of hope in the dialogue between Israel and the Palestinian authority, nothing positive comes from Iraq, torn apart by continual slaughter as the civil population flees.
And, of course, our communistic […]
Randy Pullen put out a press release Yesterday raking Janet Napolitano over the coals, for, apparently, something she has not said yet.
This isn’t the first time that Napolitano has been attacked for a position she might take. Back when they did this before, I called it the “Republican Leap.” Since they seem to be doing that […]
Gen. Wesley Clark and Iraq veteran Jon Soltz of VoteVets have unveiled a new website called StopIranWar.com in the hopes of organizing grassroots opposition to a possible (planned?) military action against Iran.
Clark and Soltz have distributed a video describing their effort.
Way back in nineteen-hundred and eighty-six, I was a volunteer for Richard Kimball, who was running a kamikaze campaign for US Senate against a two term congressman from Phoenix named, um…it’s on the tip of my tongue. Oh yeah, John McCain.
Kimball was a umpteenth generation Arizonan (his ancestors included Mormon pioneer Heber Kimball), and saw […]
Word is out that Lt. Jonathan Paton will be Rep. Jonathan Paton again and be back in the legislature on Tuesday.
Everyone on both sides of the aisle are glad to see him back and safe. Now that he is home and political considerations are okay, some vote counters on the Republican side are no doubt […]
I haven’t had a lot of time to write things on here over the last few days, but a few statements given during the Iraq debate have struck me as rather dumb.
First, we start with John Shadegg. His statement on the House floor was unremarkable. I can sum up his and one hundred other of […]
Sen. John McCain has been talking up the surge strategy and has been willing to go onto as many talk shows as he can to show how he is standing up with the president. So, when the Senate votes today on a resolution condemning the surge strategy, we can all expect the Senator to continue […]
Gabrielle Giffords is scheduled to give a five minute floor speech on the House floor tonight sometime between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM local time.
Raúl Grijalva is scheduled to give a five minute floor speech on the House floor today sometime between 4:00 and 4:30 local time.
