In This Time For Giving, Remember Those Who Gave

While our wiretapping president called Christmas wishes to soldiers in Iraq, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld served up steak and lobster on site. He then fed them a dessert of the finest bull. He called the Iraq war a test of wills, one which our will must and ultimately will prevail. Uh-huh.... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Make-Or-Break Day In Iraq

Well, at long last, we've come to the general election in Iraq where the Iraqi peoples will democraticly elect their representative government. Given the emphasis placed on this election by the Bush administration, you'd think that the entire world is waiting with baited breath for the returns, that... Sign in to see full entry.

Bush's Speeches Border On Pathetic

In a limited four-part series of speeches, our hopelessly hopeful president wishes to regain most favorable status among the people who elected him (the people who didn't are loving every second of Dubya's misfortunes) and show that his little aggressive excursion into Iraq was not for naught and...

Propagandizing The Iraqi Press

Reports are circulating hot and heavy on Capitol Hill about U.S. military information ploys, stories written by Americans for the Iraqi press, that some say are examples of blatant disinformation or outright propaganda. Yes, it seems that the American military machine has also taken over its of... Sign in to see full entry.

Same Speech, Different Day

Critics of the president and his series of self-affirming and war supporting speeches agree that the message is the same, just a little more finely tuned, with no exit strategy or clear plan on executing a victorious end result in Iraq. Staying the course pretty much means maintaining a military... Sign in to see full entry.

The War In Iraq "Worth It"

Saddam Hussein's trial began again today -- only to be postponed so Hussein's new lawyers (remember, two of his lawyers have been killed) could study up on the case. President Bush stated that the trial was evidence that the war was worth it. Uh-huh. Thousands of our troops killed and wounded so... Sign in to see full entry.

Topping 2100 Without Slowing Down

The number of American military deaths in Iraq topped 2100 and at present rests at 2104 (according to CNN). Car bombings and IEDs are still going off all over Iraq. There are vague rumors of insurgents looking to make a deal with the interim Iraqi government. Maybe. Don't look for any of these... Sign in to see full entry.

25,000,000 Reasons Proving The Ineffectiveness Of The War In Iraq + 2095

Fox News simply kills me; unbiased my ass. Unafraid, I believe. Unafraid to disseminate a pro-conservative agenda. Today, on The Big Story, Danielle Pletka of the American Enterprise Institute said it was inconceivably offensive to label the American mission in Iraq as an 'occupation.' She said we...

And You Thought It Couldn't Get Much Worse...

Six more Americans were killed in Iraq today, following the distasteful revelation that as many as 173 Iraqis might be currently detained by the Interior Ministry under less than humane conditions. This comes on the heels of a renewed Democrat offensive in Congress demanding the Bush administration... 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
