You Have To Admit, The Man Is Dogged

President Bush gave the commencement speech at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy in New Haven, Connecticut, today. Well, it was actually another speech trying to swing people toward his way of thinking about the war in Iraq. Beating the dead horse (the dead ten-times-over horse) of the war on terror,...

Iraq Is An Unholy Mess And All Bush Can Talk About Are Terrorists

Bush vetoed the Emergency spending bill today, just like he said he would. He kept yammering on and on about not letting the enemy know when you were leaving and how the terrorists would just bide their time until Americans were gone before they'd attack the government in Baghdad. It's not a... Sign in to see full entry.

How Bad Is It Really? Committing Sacrilege, Preparing For Death

However, many are turning to tattoos in Baghdad because of the grisly carnage and often unidentifiable state of the remains of many of the Iraqi dead. This is a sad testament indeed. As Congress passes another piece of... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

Euphemisticly christened Operation Iraqi Freedom, this political and military quagmire has not only produced a rift among the people of the United States, but a widening gulf between the United States and the rest of the world. "It is time to come home, America. Time to look within our own borders and within our own souls. There are many questions to be answered and many missions to accomplish right here on our own soil. We cannot force-feed democracy to Iraq. We cannot resolve Iraq's internal issues. It is time for the United States to begin to bring our troops home." -- Senator Robert C. Byrd, speech to the Senate, 2005
