That’s what Harry Reid speculated on a Las Vegas TV station recently, (video). Many on the right are crying foul at Reid’s admission, but I’d like to point out this October 11th story from India Daily that speculates the same thing. So yes, many sarcastic thanks go out to my GOP homies John Fund and [...]
I grabbed this today out of a story about the use of the word insurgents. It provides a fairly dismaying view of Rumsfeld views on stopping torture by Iraqi forces we’ve trained. From the Washington Post: This time, it’s the Joint Chiefs chairman [Gen. Peter Pace], still new to the job, who isn’t marching to [...]
If this story proves true, it’ll be a major blow to our credibility in Iraq, and could serve to further undermine our mission both there and all over the Middle East. In other words, credibility is vital and we don’t seem to care or realize this. More of my thoughts are over at The Moderate [...]

The lack of a strategic energy policy could well spell big trouble ahead. After Hurricane Katrina temporarily knocked out 30% of America’s oil refinery capacity [...]

As reported here yesterday, Rove’s lawyer thinks Time reporter Viveca Novak is key to keeping Rove indictment-free. But is she? From the Wash Post: The reporter for Time magazine who recently agreed to testify in the CIA leak case is central to White House senior adviser Karl Rove’s effort to fend off an indictment in [...]
As most of you may already know, California congressman Randy “Duke” Cunningham messed up and took some bribes. It was a stupid thing to do, and as I was at work today I discussed with my coworkers why a guy like this would really need more money. I mean really, how much money do these [...]
