More Iraq Nonsense
Posted in Iraq on June 30, 2004 | 8 Comments »
Thibodeaux over at Say Uncle has a new post up wherein he trumpets Allawi’s claim that Hussein had “connections to extremism and terror.”: Allawi: No. I believe very strongly that Saddam had relations with al-Qaida. And these relations started in Sudan. We know Saddam had relationships with a lot of terrorists and international terrorism. Now, [...]
Selective Critical Thinking
Posted in Iraq, Politics, Terrorism on June 30, 2004 | 17 Comments »
Much virtual ink has been spilled about whether or not Bush misled America with some on the Right claiming that since Bush hasn’t been caught in an outright lie (he has, but that’s another post), he’s not dishonest. Sure, Bush mentioned Iraq, al-Qaeda, and 9/11 repeatedly within close proximity of one another, but he never [...]

It’s pretty sad when the most visible sign of our “success” bringing the American way of life to Iraq is that the Iraqi’s now have their own version of Billy the Big Mouth Bass: Toy stores around Baghdad are doing a quick trade in dancing Saddam dolls — foot-high battery-powered puppets of the former president, [...]

DCCC has a petition worth signing. It asks the Bush Administration to do something real about the genocide in Sudan. To be honest, with our military already stretched to the breaking point in Iraq and Afghanistan, I really don’t know what the US can do at this point. We do not really have the capacity [...]
Learning Lessons

Kevin Drum wonders if anti-war liberals should be more accepting of pro-war liberals: Now, it’s true that some of these public reconsiderations are pretty egregious see Tim Dunlop today for a pretty good example. But in general I think we’d all be better served by toning down the moral righteousness and welcoming our new [...]
The Lottery Letter
Posted in Politics on June 30, 2004 | 1 Comment »
The two letters arrived on the same day. The walk to the mailbox was hard on him, but he made it every single day. Checking the mail was normal and everyday, and he was willing to pay the price for normal and everyday. Retirement had taken the everyday rhythm of his life away, and the [...]
