Yet Again: Why We Must Impeach Bush and Cheney A Time for Humble Pie On Tuesday, President Bush reported to the nation and the world that a recent National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) concluded that four years ago Iran had stopped its covert program aimed at developing nuclear weapons. To many sober minds, this news would be cause not only for a little celebration, but also a little humble pie. Sphere: Related Content
During the ’04 election John Kerry had included in his platform a call for national service that I thought was a worthy goal. Barack Obama is now adding a national call for service as part of his platform. No doubt, it will be decried by the right wing and libertarian types, which is a shame in my opinion. Earlier this year when my daughter graduated from high school, she was required by her school to have some public service...
The latest news in the primary wars is causing a firestorm in the blogosphere and it’s a sad example of how an overzealous campaign volunteer can be over the top in pushing their candidate using right wing talking points. Yup… It does happen… Sphere: Related Content
While the focus in the past couple of days has been on the release of the NIE report on Iran, there’s been news of things heating up in Afghanistan that has remained somewhat under the wire. AP News reports that the Taliban claimed responsibility for a suicide attack today that killed at least 13 people and wounded 20.

For approximately 3 minutes, I had the misfortune of seeing GWB on my television, yesterday (my son turned on the boob tube and there was America’s own personal boob…). I changed the channel almost immediately as I heard a reporter ask him about whether or not the NIE and GWB’s threats to Iran would hurt US credibility in the world community and suddenly I was thinking that Miss Teen South Carolina would make a better president… So much talk...
Oh my goodness this is priceless… Mike Huckabee sat down an “on-the-record dinner” with a group of reporters in Des Moines and low and behold he knew nothing, I repeat NOTHING, about the Iran NIE. As Jonathan Martin notes on Politico, “The transcript speaks for itself“: Kuhn: I don’t know to what extent you have been briefed or been able to take a look at the NIE report that came out yesterday … Huckabee: I’m sorry? Kuhn: The NIE report,...
This Bush routine is getting so old. Honestly, he needs some new schtick because the American public is so done with his fear mongering and lies: President Bush warned today that Iran remained a threat despite an intelligence assessment that it had halted a covert program to develop nuclear weapons four years ago, as the administration struggled to salvage a diplomatic process now in disarray. Once again facing criticism over the handling — and meaning — of intelligence reports,...
