Good read … with facts no doubt.

This stands on it’s own;
Dick Cheney’s lies about President Obama
by, Eugene Robinson
It’s pathetic to break a New Year’s resolution before we even get to New Year’s Day, but here I go. I had promised myself that I would do a better job of ignoring Dick Cheney’s corrosive and nonsensical outbursts — that I would treat [...]

coinky dink?

Calls from Angela Merkel told Tony Blair he would not get EU’s top job
and
Leaked documents reveal No 10 cover-up over Iraq invasion
• Inquiry to hear how Blair hid true intentions for war

“We are spending ourselves into oblivion”

Matthew P. Hoh’s letter in full;
Dear Ambassador Powell,
It is with great regret and disappointment I submit my resignation from my appointment as a Political Officer in the Foreign Service and my post as the Senior Civilian Representative for the U.S. Government in Zabul Province. I have served six of the previous ten years in service [...]

Truths denied …… truths revealed.

Shock Troops
Master Sergeant John Hatley, First Sergeant for Company A, First Battalion, First Infantry Division, during it’s deployment in Iraq.

Read it all ……………………… if you can

Bush and Cheney LIED as usual,
Wanna STILL claim the US didn’t torture under Bush?
Read it all …… if you can stomach it.
….then remember how bad John McCain told us all the Hanoi Hilton was ….

The first US casualty of the Iraq occupation came home today…

Oh wait. Did I say first US casualty meaning the first US soldier to die in the Iraq occupation came home today, since the March 17, 2003 invasion of that nation? Silly me. He’s not the first. Sgt. Phillip Myers is one of over 4,000 US soldiers who have died in Iraq, but he’s the [...]

The nuclear powered submarine USS Hartford (SSN-768) (a Los Angeles-Class attack submarine) and the US Navy amphibious surface ship USS New Orleans (LPD-18) , the newest vessel in the US Navy, did something ships should never do, they tried [...]

Can someone please explain to me why an ex-POW would make for a fine president of the United States?

(pic)
I suppose having a Vietnam vet in White House would depend on his or her experience while there. Not all Vietnam vets faced combat or were in the thick of it. Not all were POW’s either. For instance, our family has known a Vietnam veteran who still to this day has the occasional meltdown. His [...]
