What a novel concept, letting the people decide their own destiny. Self-determination after all is the sovereign, unwritten, right of any lands occupied by the U.S. For example, territories like Guam can join the Union or part ways with this Union of States by an overwhelming vote of its people. Similarly, nations with whom the United […]

Epitome of Shame
May 17th, 2008 · No Comments
When the President of the United States has to go to another country to talk politics, it’s downright disgusting. This week we saw the H.V. President of these United States of America stand before the elected Knesset-body of Israel and denounce “negotiating with terrorists and radicals.” The President went on to claim that such efforts at […]

Hillary on Iran
May 5th, 2008 · No Comments
She says:
“If Iran attacks Israel, we will obliterate Iran.”
John Roberts says:
“Iran is already aiding and abetting terrorists who go on to kill our soldiers in Iraq, as President what would you do to stop this?”
She says:
‘Well umm… you know maybe I could juggle a couple of six-shooters and down a Crown Royale or something.’
I was of […]

Mr. President

The President becomes Presidential when a reporter doesn’t stop asking questions.
If only that guy had been President for the last 8 years. In this clip you can see that somewhere under all that, is an actually intelligent guy. Too bad…

The Idiocy That is The Holy Land
April 28th, 2008 · No Comments
Every issue surrounding the Holy Land is pock-marked by great balls of stupidity. Esteemed Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice says Hamas is not a recognized political group and the U.S. will not open negotiations with them. Former honorable and venerable President Carter says that ‘of course Hamas is a recognized political group, theirown Palestinian people […]

How the British Screwed it Up Again
April 8th, 2008 · No Comments
When the British leave an area they’ve occupied they have never, in the History of the Earth, left it in any better state then when they began to occupy it. Case in point: Basra. Many people are blaming Prime Minister Maliki for his dumbfounded and ongoing expedition into southern Iraq; blaming him for not anticipating the recoil […]
Nation Building

We’re trained as infantrymen, but here we are doing civil administration and trying to get the milk factory up and running.
- Captain Stewart Glenn in Fallujah, Iraq
Over at Michael J. Totten’s website he has a piece on the Marines as “Builders of Nations.” It’s a fascinating read.
This is a subject that I’ve been turning over […]

Why The Muslims Build It?
March 31st, 2008 · No Comments
Because we finance it. With every gallon of gas I buy I’d like to think I have a share in the Saudi’s latest attempt at the worlds tallest building.
If you know nothing of Dubai’s opulent modern day architecture, which no terrorist in the Muslim world ever sees fit to bomb for some reason, you should […]

Former Haliburton Subsidiery & Probably the Army by Itself, Electrocuting and Killing Soldiers in Iraq
March 21st, 2008 · No Comments
That headline reads nicely, except for the Soldiers who died and their Families. I could of written it like this: Vice President Dick Cheney’s Former Company’s Subsidiary is Electrocuting Soldiers in Iraq, but I didn’t… you can thank me later.
However, just as the Vice President could care less about America, it seems a transference of ideology has occured to his former […]
Current Administration’s Agreement, or Lack Thereof, with Iraq
March 17th, 2008 · No Comments
*This is extremely long
There is an argument that the current proposed and negotiated Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) with Iraq is a treaty with Iraq and therein it must be authorized by the Congress of the United States as outlined by the Constitution of the United States.
The unfortunate reality is that a SOFA is a purely military […]
