This AljazeeraEnglish video was posted earlier today. It shows the destruction in the Gaza Strip. Since it is reporting on the impact of the attacks and not policy I take it at face value.
Taylor Marsh found the above video and a link to the Guardian UK. The Guardian story seems to indicate, to me at [...]

Israel’s position on the Palestinian issue is well known. Each side had agreed to a six month cease fire. Both sides accused the other of violations. 3 days after the end of the six month cease fire Israel attacked what they say were Hamas headquarters. I can only trust that they know what the hell [...]

While most of us couldn’t find Guinea on a blank African map, it is one of the former colonies, this one French, that achieved independence 50 years ago. As noted below in a news report, it is one of the poorest countries in Africa. [When a corespondent calls a country 'one of the poorest in [...]

According to intelligence experts, Pakistan is moving 20,000 troops to it’s border with India. These two countries have already fought three wars. Now they are both nuclear powers and the prospects are of deep concern to the US for a number of reasons.
“The situation is at this point in time far more dangerous than it [...]

[First, let me say these are my own suggestions to help the situation. These are the changes I wish to see in the automakers. I will be doing more fact based writing, fully resourced, in the next few days. I agree with Rachel Maddow (video) that the attack on the UAW and the automakers could begin a [...]

This is too sad for long comment. You wonder why Tom Friedman today suggested moving up the swearing in to Thanksgiving? He didn’t have this video in mind but if he’d seen it he would have puked.

The US military command has given the Iraq government an ultimatum. Either accept the status of forces agreement on the table, which much of the Iraq government finds unacceptable, or the US will cease all operations on January 1, 2009.
In addition to halting all military actions, U.S. forces would cease activities that support Iraq’s economy, [...]

Since the third and last, (thank god), debate I’ve essentially over-occupied myself with reading one of the most instructive and yet discouraging books I’ve ever read: State of Denial by Bob Woodward. While many of you may have pushed through this very detailed account of the actual execution of war planning and war execution, I’ve [...]

Bill Clinton was on the stump today doing some “powerful campaigning in Florida for the first time on Obama’s behalf.” Clinton, Greg Sargent reports on TPM, “laid out an interesting argument against McCain-Palin, claiming that the economy will consume so much of the new president’s attention that the Veep will be forced to play a [...]

I am, by nature, an aggressive political speaker much like Joe Biden. [This is Video of a speech after the Republican Convention.] In a debate I take my opposition by the ankles and use them for a golf club if the facts are so completely on my side. This serves well in Congressional elections or [...]

Democratic VP nominee Joe Biden was on the stump today hitting McCain in a speech that draws the battle lines showing that a McCain presidency “would amount to a third Bush term.”
In recent weeks, Biden has received less attention from the media than his counterpart Sarah Palin, but today’s speech, Politico reports, “seems to be [...]

Dear Sarah Palin/Barracuda/LipstickPitbull et.al..:
I have someone I’d like you to meet.
His name is Joe Shark. He hasn’t been fed lately. He’s hungry. And he likes a good fight.
By the way, Sarah, guess who’s coming to dinner on October 2 at Washington University? Enjoy.
With great anticipation,
Stuart
