Important question for Hitchens
Hitch, Up until this point you have described yourself as a ''single issue voter'', that issue being regime change in Iraq. Given your support of regime change how do you reconcile that stance with the final statement in this article which basically condemns a vote for the McCain/Palin ticket? It seems to me that they are the only viable ticket ...

Straight Talk About Israel
Mr Rosner does really invoke TRUTH regarding Israeli US relations. Instead, he calls for downplaying them. Why? Might it be that Rosner does not want the truth about Israeli US relations to be revealed? After 1948, Israel was an modern independent nation with its own foreign policy agenda which included expansion and inclusion of the ancient ...

Kissinger Plays Fatal Politics
I agree that it is a disgrace that Kissinger's advice is sought on Iraq by both the President and his party's Presidential nominee. When he was National Security Adviser to Richard Nixon, Kissinger recommended prolonging the Vietnam War for political reasons. Is he giving the same kind of advice about Iraq? Find out more ...

Iraq as Vietnam
What McCain wants from Iraq is to get Vietnam right. His life was molded by his POW experience. McCain's had more experience than Obama, but some of it has crippled him. One of Obama's most significant points in the debate was to place Iraq in perspective among the many issues concerning America, including fighting the 9/11 battle in ...

Political Petraeus Pushes for Neo Con 'Win'
General Petraeus is a political animal. All members of the general corps are, but Petraeus in particular subscribes to the Neo Con American global hegemonic design. And his Central Command posting and Afghanistan 'surge' strategy is a political maneuver on behalf of Neo Con ideological preservation. [If you doubt that Neo Conism represents a ...

What the dems need to be talking about
Mr. McCain says the reason he is running negative and false ads is that he did not get the debates he wants and the trip to Iraq with Senator Obama that he wants. That puts him in the same group with 2 year olds. Do you want a two year old to be president? It also says this is the way he is going to be with congress if he does get elected. That ...

Hotlink to a Music Video -- John McCain for President!
I enjoyed watching both major American political party conventions during the last two weeks. Both were highly impressive, albeit quite stage managed, television events. the speeches were good, the nutzo fervor of the partisan crowds was exciting, even the props, hats, signs and occasional arrests of journalists on public sidewalks, and protesting ...

Joe Lieberman: Traitor or Mole?
Senator Lieberman's speech at the Republican National Convention, video and transcript, are in today's New York Times, among other places. Some memorable lines. Our first president, George Washington, in his farewell address, warned that the spirit of party [that is, partisanship] could be the worst enemy of our democracy and enfeeble our ...

Liberal Media Lies
Political logic augurs a Democratic triumph in looming US elections but Barack Obama’s White House duel with John McCain is still a statistical tie, prompting some to wonder why he is yet to break away. Political logic augurs a democratic triumph? Augur: To predict, especially from signs or omens; foretell. What signs or omens are they looking ...
