Who said, "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"
I agree that during the campaign she was remarkably racist and sexist. Both are incredibly manipulative. She is fantasic at what she does though, and brilliant. I think a lot of the abuse they ground through from the a holes of the GOP all those years made them who they are. They had to adopt an ''if you can't beat em, join em.'' I do love them ...

Let's Escape Afghanistan and Iraq
3,000 Americans have been killed by terrorism in ten years. We've invested a trillion dollars in various wars here in the last 8 years. We've lost 4000 soldiers in those wars. Contrast this with 600,000 dead of infections in hospitals. We took 2,600 FBI who were prosecuting normal crime to fighting terrorism. The murder rate is way up. We took 5 ...

McCain
This is a very nice article which reveals John McCain's strong character. I have a lot of respect for Mr. McCain, but unfortunately, I cannot vote for the man because of his stance on Iraq. I don't want to be committed to keeping our troops in such a volatile country for the next 100 years. I don't want to send one more American to his/her ...

Hitch, The Brits Started This Mess, Along With Reagan
Christopher Hitchens engages in breathtaking and broad stroke, decades long perspective in cataloguing the burning of world war through the 20th Century, from the beginnings of World War One through World War Two through to the conclusion of the Cold War, to the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Yet he dates this Iraqi Twin War Conflict only to 2003? ...

Iraq: Failure, mistake, or Success?
Much has been stated about the fact that we were wrong to enter Iraq. That success is measured by how quickly we can get out of Iraq. Consider this: Iraq is in the heart of what most extremist Muslims consider holy ground. By attacking Iraq we attacked the heart of what the extremist Muslim holds dear. They have responded in force. Millions of ...

Didn't we already do this?
We have bought this peace in Iraq. Now normally I would be glad at this given the drop in violence. But this sounds familiar.... 1980s some group called mujahideen in Afghanistan....you know...communist haters...to help drive out the Soviet Union. They came back to bite us in the ____ as Al Qaeda. Of course given the Bush Administration's ...

Petraeus Was following orders - Dumb ones!
Theoretical Solutions to Non-Sequiturian Problems Military officers are trained to do two things. They know how to give orders and they know take orders.

Re: Hitchens Iraq delusions continue
On the AlQaeda in Iraq point, it should be mentioned that even ahead of the US-led invasion, some authoritative (although not so mainstream media) commentators and analysts were pointing out that one of the possible hopes in the event of an Iraq invasion was that it would move the likely arena for AlQaeda attacks to Iraq -- and thus well outside ...
