Bush is destroying our military and destroying our national security! Two damning stories, today, encapsulate the devastation wrought on our military and our national security by the Bush Administration. The Associated Press just reported this: The U.S. military isn’t ready for a catastrophic attack on the country, and National Guard forces don’t have the equipment […]
One thing about evidence – it just doesn’t go away. Sensational T.V. has a field day with old evidence, old sperm that’s out-lived the babies it didn’t make convicting geriatric rapists after DNA testing. This summer on a trip to Africa we saw casts of footprints from a family walk in the lava dust millions […]
U.S. Commanders in Iraq Favor Pause in Troop Cuts Senior U.S. military commanders here say they want to freeze troop reductions starting this summer for at least a month, making it more likely that the next administration will inherit as many troops in Iraq as there were before President Bush announced a "surge" of forces […]

Bush Issues Signing Statement On Defense Act, Waiving Ban On Permanent Bases In Iraq President Bush yesterday signed the 2008 National Defense Authorization Act after initially rejecting Congress’s first version because it would have allegedly opened the Iraqi government to “expensive lawsuits.” Even though he forced Congress to change its original bill, Bush’s signature yesterday […]
Not recommended: Bush’s State of the Union Speech:Extremely boring, hard to even read, much less watch. Full of spun yarns and empty promises interspersed with phrases that sound like something a generic President might say in a generic year.
