At least the Founders cared whether the slaves lived or died.
For McCain, the only thing in Iraq that matters is that our soldiers aren’t getting killed. The Iraqis can kill each other just as much as they like. On This Week (4/20/08):
STEPHANOPOULOS: You’ve defined success in Iraq as a “generally peaceful, [...]

Most of the mainstream media seem to have dropped any pretense of impartiality.I listened to an NPR piece about the cease-fire talks in Israel and both guests were pro-Israel, American Enterprise Institute members, who gave no mention of the Palestinian people’s complaints. To make matters worse, few Americans know who these frequently sourced or featured [...]
I wanted to cross post this from Politics is a blood sport for a wider audience
As always, The News Hour ends their report with the photos and names of the recently fallen in Iraq, and for some reason, Durrell Bennett’s death has really touched a nerve personally:
SEATTLE — A local soldier who was set to [...]
I apologize for the graphic picture, but this is just sickening. After 6+ years of was in Afghanistan, a war that should have been over 5 years ago were it not for the disasterous invasion and occupation of Iraq, the Chimp has the gall to play Walter Mitty. Not only is Bush a [...]

It’s funny how things always seem to work out that way (with the sole exception of the Iran NIE):
The Iraqi defense minister said Monday that his nation would not be able to take full responsibility for its internal security until 2012, nor be able on its own to defend Iraq’s borders from external threat until [...]

Dick Cheney is the original bad penny. If anything, anywhere in the world, is fucked up, it’s guaranteed to have his bloody paw prints all over it. From the WaPo via Digby:
The roots of the crisis go back to the blind bargain Washington made after 9/11 with the regime that had heretofore been [...]

The prez-gnat yesterday:
…And so we cut taxes. And I mean we cut them on everybody.
…
And the plan worked. If you think about where we were coming out of 2001 and where we are today, you can’t help but say the plan worked; cutting taxes helped stimulate economic growth. …And so we’ve had a pretty good [...]

How the Army treats its own:
In a nondescript conference room at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, 1st Lt. Elizabeth Whiteside listened last week as an Army prosecutor outlined the criminal case against her in a preliminary hearing. The charges: attempting suicide and endangering the life of another soldier while serving in Iraq.
Her hands trembled as [...]

The war czar has come out of his hidey hole, at the press briefing today with Dana Peroxide:
GENERAL LUTE: As Dana just mentioned, today is an important day for us on the Iraq team, because President Bush and Prime Minister Maliki of Iraq signed an important document that frames our emerging strategic relationship with Iraq. [...]

According to foreign reports, Israel destroyed a nuclear weapons installation in Syria in September. Never has a larger story been pushed under the rug by so many so quickly. What are we to make of this?
Over the weekend former federal prosecutor and the head of the non-governmental [...]
