Last week we were hearing all about how Obama would be “tested” by anti-American groups if he were elected president.

What Does Palin Mean when She Says “Victory” ?
Published by October 4th, 2008 in Politics, Iraq, War, Election 2008, terror and Sarah Palin. 0 CommentsPalin’s term “Victory” is useless and illuminates a fundamental misunderstanding of the war here in Iraq. There is no Victory. There never was and never will be. That’s not just my opinion. It’s the belief expressed daily by senior military officers. The search for Victory in Iraq or in the “War on Terror” is futile […]

Last week in politics
Published by May 20th, 2008 in Politics, Humor, al Qaeda, Middle East, War and Election 2008. 0 CommentsFirst, honk if you like bumper sticker politics:
1. GWB tells Israel that Obama is going to cause the next holocaust.
2. Hard Ball host Chris Matthews challenges a loud-mouthed, flock-jock, talk(ing points) radio host and republican party line parrot to back up his words with a little substance. I swear to god I haven’t seen this […]

AMY GOODMAN: You wrote two books during the Bush administration. Two of the books you’ve written are Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace and Dreaming War. Why these two?

Our Uncool, Unpopular President Don’t Golf No More
Published by May 13th, 2008 in Politics, bush, War, Global Warming, environment and golf. 0 CommentsSeriously. From Mike Allen’s interview of George W. Bush today:
For the first time, Bush revealed a personal way in which he has tried to acknowledge the sacrifice of soldiers and their families: He has given up golf.
“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” […]

Published by March 30th, 2008 in Middle East, Iraq and War. 0 CommentsThe ongoing fighting in Basra and Baghdad between forces of the Iraqi government under Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki and the militia of the Shiite cleric Moktada al-Sadr should explode the comfortable notion held by proponents of the occupation in Iraq that the so-called “surge” of American troops was primarily responsible for the quelling of […]
The Old Viking tries to instruct his brother on the US efforts to recreate Iraq
Published by March 29th, 2008 in Politics, Iraq and War. 0 CommentsBrother,
The upsurge in violence in Iraq this week has been troubling and sent me back to my notes and a couple of authors that I relied on because of their documentation of data and quotes. It’s too cumbersome to give you chapter and verse citations; suffice it to say that if your pore over two […]
