That was the case in the past, but with the way the primary calender is front loaded with multi-state contests, I could see the delegates getting split up. The primary calendar this cycle is not going to produce as much momentum for the candidates as it has in the past. We are looking at very...
The Iranians won't be shooting at US carriers - they have plenty of soft targets in the form of oil tankers that traverse the Straits of Hormuz. One Silkworm missile launched at a tanker and gas goes to $10 a gallon. The GOP will lose 15 seats in the Senate and another 50 in the House in 2008. I...
Really smart thing for the Democrats to do would be to push a bill right now providing the funds required for an emergency withdrawal, once the existing funding ran out. Then BushCo couldn't say the Dems were stranding them in the desert. And make no mistake about it - the overwhelming majority...
This is wishful thinking on Will's part. He looks at historical precedence and patterns and completely ignores what is going to be the defining issue that not only is going to shape the 2008 elections, but will also likely shape public opinion for several cycles after that.
Iraq trumps...
Who said anything about Israel? They are an important strategic ally of the United States.
Are you going to deny that the neocons pushed for war in Iraq? The neocons think they know what's better for Israel than she does for herself. The neocon fantasy was that a democratic Iraq wouldn't...
This is actually pretty funny. It was never in America's best interest to go into Iraq. They were not a threat. Iraq was a threat like Dafar was a threat. But Dafar doesn't have the world's 2nd largest oil reserves. So are our limited resources spent in the best interests of Americans in general...
Well you can just do what BushCo did. They are supporting a tinpot dictator in Pakistan who came to power through a military coup. Then they went and gave some nuclear technology to India (for some fruit I think). Pretty smart thing to do since India and Pakistan don't get along (never have and...
BushCo took out a natural counterweight to Iranian ambitions and they did so on purpose. Stupidest thing ever done in the history of American foreign policy.
And here's a little reality check for you - the neocons and warmongers never cared about the Iraqi people, all they/you cared about...
Fair enough. Kos / Act Blue certainly weren't the only reason Webb and Tester won, but they were a contributing factor. Those races were so close that a whole bunch of factors played into getting victories in those seats, not the least of which were the incredible bouts of foot in mouth that...
Jim Webb and John Tester probably hold their Senate seats right now because of Daily Kos and Act Blue. Act Blue/dKos/Moveon also was the source of cash and foot soldiers for a bunch of newly minted Democratic congress people this past November.
The old meme that Kos didn't back winners was...
In a just world, Powell would be facing the music for conducting that charade at the UN before the start of Operation Iraqi Liberation. He knew the presentation material was BS, yet he went in there and sold a pack of Cheney lies.
Powell destroyed a lifetime of good work in the span of...
Not only that, but Plame was working on...wait for it...the proliferation of nuclear weapons in Iran and other Middle Eastern countries. We in all likelihood will never see a clearer case of treason than this.
CIA hasn't yet, and will not ever, make public their damage assessment report of...
