  • 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 ...

  • The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

  • 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? ...

  • al Qaeda's relevance to AQIZ

    Mr. Hitchens, Isn't saying that al Qaeda in Iraq (assisted by Hassan Ghul, Abdul Hadi al Iraqi, al Masri and others closely linked to Zawahiri) not being associated with al Qaeda in Pak/Afghanistan almost as ludicrious as saying the U.S. military in Iraq isn't really part of the U.S. military in the U.S.? I certainly am not the first to make ...

  • the hitch(ens) in your theory is this...

    You consistently defend the action in Iraq, as being a fight against the al Qaida. That defeating the al Qaida is the ultimate goal. Okay, a legitimate goal, and argued well enough...except you incomprehensibly fall into the same trap as all the neo-cons who started the war! You place no value on the heads of bin Laden or al Zawahiri. How is ...

  • Re: Bush has been in office six years

    First, we don't know if bin Laden is living in a cave, do we? This is at least part of the reason why al Qaeda remains emoldended -- the most powerful country in the world can't find one of the most recognizable faces in the world. Don't you think al Qaeda supporters are giggling themselves to sleep over that one? Second, it is a significant ...
