| Yes, we hear that the rate of casualties among coalition forces has now exceeded those in Iraq, but we have heard nothing like this from the MSM. We have to get it from Rolling Stone: By the time we reach the town of Salar, only 50 miles south of Kabul, we have already passed five tractor-trailers from military convoys that have been destroyed by the [...] David Michael Green publishes another near perfect post about Palinology: Whoa and Woe: Living In Sarah Palin’s America (collapsible content, click to show/hide) I can’t tell you how despondent I’ve grown in the last weeks. Is there really no hope for this country, after all? It now appears so.

Bush is the drunk who drives his car through a pedestrian crosswalk, up onto a sidewalk and into a street fair, killing or maiming all in his path, and then sues the bartender for [...] I took L. to see Iron Man yesterday, and it was nice to see a shoot-’em-up movie with at least a bit of a conscience, and not as a single-minded glamorization of war and all the glory the U.S. armed forces have to offer.

These are [...] The man needs professional help – he seems to think he’s William Wallace: [T]his concept of stability has — in other words, that foreign policy ought to promote stability as opposed to freedom has led to dangers, and that the only way to solve America’s long-term security needs is to remember that the enemy that we face can only recruit when there’s hopelessness and despair; and [...] From a transcript of a roundtable yesterday between pro-war bloggers and Marine Maj. Gen. Douglas M. Stone, Commander, U.S. detention facilities in Iraq (where there are now at least 25,000 detainees): STONE: We are now almost full-bore into all of our new programs … to understand who we’ve got and what their orientation towards religion, their skill, their education, their morale and motivation of what got [...] | Available Streams 2    | ||||
