Reid To Force Senate Into All-Night Session Tuesday
Forcing his Republican colleagues to put up or shut up on the notion of an up-or-down vote, Senate Majority leader Harry Reid (D-NV) just moments ago announced that he will immediately file a cloture motion on the Reed-Levin troop redeployment bill and, if Republicans follow through […]

What a Great Mission!
No wonder the Iraqi people love us so much, what a great bunch of guys we have over there.
But hey, at least the Iraqi 15 year old girl made $500 bucks before she hung herself.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

One must ask, what is it that the Republicans are drinking, or smoking, that has created some sort of time distillation vortex around their heads.
Yesterday House GOP leader John Boehner said…
“General Petraeus just received the full reinforcements he was promised, and to condemn his plan to failure before it has ample time to succeed is […]

Sick and cruel: A 4-year-old Iraqi youngster cries as older boys play “execution” in Baghdad, where almost constant violence has warped the games children create for themselves. Another popular pastime is “militias vs. police.”

From the video description on You-Tube…
Preston Wheeler, a truck driver for KBR a subsidiary of Halliburton shot this amazing video of his truck convoy being ambushed in Iraq. The attack occurred after the U.S. military made a wrong turn down a dead-end street. Mr. Wheeler is lucky to be alive. Three KBR truck drivers were […]

So sweet…so…so sweet. It’s like watching a Mensa Canidate argue with a Retard.
And this was from around 2 years ago, you know, back where there were just 2,000 casualties in Bush’s war (ahh the good ole days).
You have to love the Tools quote at the end of the segment…
“Those people […]

Only Keith can tell it like it is, he’s the conscious of our times.

Men In Black is the hard hitting story of former Army infantryman Colby Buzzell and the ambush that he experienced in Mosul. Animated drawings bring this story to life, and the very expressive, reflective voice of Buzzell narrates you through the horrifying scene. If you need a reminder of just how real this war […]

Patrick Cockburn, author of The Occupation: War and Resistance in Iraq, has written an analysis about the damage the Iraq war has done to America as a superpower. In his 5-page post on AlterNet, he makes it concretely clear what a monumental mistake it has been.
Moreover, even though U.S. covert policy is to stay […]

How quaint and simple May 1st 2003 seems now, remember the good ole days?
Bush was playing fighter pilot, the Mission was accomplished, and just down the road we had purple thumbs and 4 years of “Stay the course” to look forward too.

 
It’s been a long time since we had a new poll, so in honor of the four year Anniversary of “Mission Accomplished”  I bring you this new poll, inspired by a similar poll (with a little extra) on Daily Kos…
 
 

What should be done with the Mission Accomplished banner?
Put it on display at the George […]

Iraq spending measure a rare rebuke in wartime
WHITE HOUSE - On the fourth anniversary of his so-called “Mission Accomplished” speech, President Bush is heading to U.S. Central Command headquarters today to huddle with commanders running the Iraq War.

It’s pretty amazing, you watch this video, and you can only shake your head in disgust as to what has happened to John McCain.
The arguements he makes in 1993 for pulling out of Somalia are the EXACT OPPOSITE of the arguements he is making in 2007 for staying in Iraq.
I really think that one […]
