G.W., Post Presidency
“The first year for every ex-president is really hard,” said David Brinkley, a presidential historian at Rice University. “You have to raise all this money for your library, you’ve got to build an organization, you have to write a huge memoir, your papers are in disarray, and you suddenly realize your mistakes [...]
A brilliant anti-McCain ad
AmericaBlog is right. The experts don’t know what they are doing. Listening to them instead of the electorate could cost Obama the election, IMHO. I can only assume its the experts guiding him to the center. I can only assume its the experts telling him to leave McCain [...]
Is there any part of this government we’ve brought upon ourselves that ISN’T lying to the public?
The VA claimed there were 790 attempted suicides in 2007, when, in actuality there are 1000 suicide attempts a month??? Oh, yes, we must hide this.

So, in case you missed it, yes, we know, we were lied to, and have continually been lied to, about the Iraq war.
Here’s a couple snippets from the NYT article.

Of course. Because we always think about the children.

(I make reference to body counts below, a couple times. I am only referring to American dead. 4000. For the purpose of this post, we’ll forget about the astronomical number of Iraqis who have died in all this. The argument described below is based purely on how the troops, and the [...]
Well, I suppose that depends on what you mean.While I do see the distinction between saying there has been a big victory, and saying that the door has been opened for a big victory, you know damn well that what Bush was saying was “there’s been a big victory, but I don’t hold me to [...]
While I do understand that, sometimes, the government makes a commitment, or has to do unpopular things.Thats fine and as it should be.Cheney does go on to say, basically, that, when pressed. But the initial response is very telling about the absolute contempt this administration holds for the people who they were elected to [...]
The Pentagon writes a report saying that there’s no connection between Saddam Hussein and al Qaeda.The report shows the truth, which goes against the lies the administration told the american people, and themselves. Therefor, the report is censored. Better to hide the truth and live the lie.THIS is why people hate them.Shockingly, ABC news is [...]
Just a little reminder thanks to the top GAO official, David Walker. In short, we sent lots of guns to Iraq and have no idea where they are. I am SO glad this administration has done such a crackerjack job running this war.What could be better than being a US soldier getting shot at by [...]
