 Several months ago there was a post (I don't remember who, but I"ll bet I could narrow it down to about three...) that offered a video of Bush visiting troops in Iraq and with it a taunt having to do with no Democrat President would be greeted warmly in that room, etc. Well,...

Many folks have told me to keep my references to myself, that the presentation of data is, in effect, self-aggrandizement, that any effort to inform or teach is demeaning. I have said often that I don't think that's true. I learn from others here; I hope they can learn from me....

So, according to this Associated Press story, "The United States and Iraq have agreed to seek 'a general time horizon' for deeper reductions in American combat troops in Iraq." As an editor, I am always amused by euphemisms and bureaucracy speak. So I'm laughing over this term...

Obama said today he's consider refining his Iraq timeline after he visits Iraq and talks to commanders over there. (read the New York Times piece here) Much of Obama's popularity was built on his stance against the Iraq war and his timetable for withdrawal. I imagine his detractors will be...

I hate being wrong. Worse than that I hate admitting I was wrong, but I am not above doing so. SO..I was wrong. It pains me even to pen the words. I had to practice..do a few rough drafts, check the spelling. I have yet to say it aloud, but I know that, at some point, I will have to do it. I...

Nearly 4,000 U.S. deaths (and no real end in sight). No shame, and no apologies, no accountability, for telling at least 935 lies. Thought telling the truth was one of those top ten hits the Christian Right Wrong prided itself on?
