“Our nominee doesn’t run with the Washington herd” — Sarah Palin, GOP convention speech, 2008.
Unless in that herd are refugees, loan-outs and moonlighters from the current Bush Administration and its two presidential campaigns, then yes, John McCain does ride with the herd Sarah, hoping of course, to ride it all the way to the [...]
The Israeli media is reporting the Russia has negotiated the use of port facilities in the Syrian city of Tarsus, intending to establish a base for Mediterranean operations for its Black Sea fleet. It also sent two Tupelov long range bombers to Caracas last Wednesday on a friendly visit and will carry out both naval [...]

The American-Arab-Lebanese-Shiite Neoconservative Middle East expert Fouad Ajami has been transformed from a serious scholar and a gifted author into a leading propagandist for the War Party. Last year, for example, he compared Scooter Libby to fallen U.S. Soldiers in Iraq.
In his most recent piece in the (guess) Wall Street Journal’s editorial page, he explains that [...]
I really do want to like Sarah Palin. She is authentically blue collar, religious, and not overly corrupt, greedy, or ego-driven in the fashion of the politicians we have come to know and love over the past sixteen years. I am not overly concerned with her lack of experience as we have seen a lot of senior [...]
Speaking yesterday at the National Defense University at Ft. McNair in Virginia, President Bush said that there has been a “moment of success in the war on terror.” Bush supported his lofty rhetoric by citing the “dismantling” of al-Qaeda infrastructure in the Iraqi province of Anbar. A moment might be little enough to ask for [...]
Right on, Freddy. Now, thanks to Charles Krauthammer on FOX News’ Special Report tonight, you can add the “Sarah Surge” to your list, under the sub-group of Surges for which John McCain can take credit.
Krauthammer must have seen the polls today and decided Palin wasn’t such a loser pick after all.
As the convention speeches are picked apart by the opposition for fibs, lies and truth-stretching blarney, I’d like to pick out one such rhetorical flourish — or downright untruth — coming from Joe Lieberman Tuesday night. It set my teeth on edge.
He said:
You know, when others wanted to retreat in defeat from the field [...]
The Pentagon may have given the Sunni “Sons of Iraq” the dough and weapons to fight al Qaeda for the American cause, but according to Wired Magazine, these now-targeted fighters were left with a far more deadlier token for their troubles.
Warhawks have embraced — very matter-of-factly– the efficiency and technological wizbangery behind the hand-held [...]
Just when Americans were getting to know the Sons of Iraq, otherwise known as the “Sunni Awakening” — if only at the base level of whether they began B.S or A.S.S (Before Surge or After the Senator’s Surge) — they seem to be breaking up. More succinctly, they are being targeted for termination.
Reports over [...]

For those who have been following the debate surrounding Ronald Suskind’s claim that the CIA forged a phony letter in late 2003 to “prove” al-Qaeda was connected to Saddam Hussein, yesterday’s detailed disclaimer by the Agency (posted on the CIA website) does little to reveal who actually might have done the deed. As in past [...]
