In case anyone was operating under the delusion that Republicans have anything to offer of substance in the world today I give you this excerpt from The Iraq Daily War News.
Here is what they had to say when Clinton got involved in Bosnia:
“Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the President to explain to [...]
Markos Moulitsas puts it about as succinctly as it can be put.
So Casey and 2,047 US and allies have died to establish an anti-women, anti-Israel, terrorist-harboring Islamic regime that is actually less free than Saddam’s Iraq. How the hell they managed that is beyond belief, incompetence of breathtaking proportions. And nearly four Americans are dying [...]
Bush’s response to questions about why he’s doing something other than meeting with Cindy Sheehan.
“I think the people want the president to be in a position to make good, crisp decisions and to stay healthy,” he said when asked about bike riding while a grieving mom wanted to speak with him. “And part of my [...]

Your letters will be kept and available for Kevin when he returns
home.
Kevin would also ask that you understand that, while he values your
support and appreciates every letter individually written to him, it
is more important that we continue to address our concerns to people
in his chain of command. [...]
Type “miserable failure” into the Google search bar, hit “I’m feeling lucky” and you’ll be taken directly to George Bush’s bio page on the White House website. It was done as a joke, a way to make it the first result returned in the search (hence, the “lucky” status). But it remains so [...]
Cindy Sheehan, in her own words. She represents the kind of American we all need to be.
This is George Bush’s accountability moment. That’s why I’m here. The mainstream media aren’t holding him accountable. Neither is Congress. So I’m not leaving Crawford until he’s held accountable. It’s ironic, given the attacks leveled at [...]
Talk Nation Radio’s Dori Smith interviews some of the people at Camp Casey, Cindy Sheehan’s current home near bush’s vacation spa in Crawford Texas.
“It’s time for America to wake up, if they don’t realize it America has already woken up, this is big.” Leeta Ruger, Military Families Speak Out.
“These folks are on the defensive, and [...]
Gary Hart, writing on the Huffington Post. No one else has said it better.
But wait. There is someone to hold the emperor to account. There is someone willing to look ridiculous, to be mocked and made a fool of, to challenge the conventional wisdom of the court.
She, unfortunately, is not a Senator. She [...]
This is the transcript of an interview with Monica Benderman conducted by Talk Nation Radio’s Dori Smith on August 10th 2005. The audio file of the interview is available here.
Monica Benderman, August 10, 2005, joins Talk Nation Radio Host Dori Smith, to talk about her husband, Kevin Benderman, who received 15 months in prison [...]
This has been sent out by Amnesty International appealing on behalf of Kevin Benderman as a prisoner of conscience. Regardless of politics, the conviction of Kevin on trumped up charges occurred solely because he applied for conscientious objector status (a legal application under military law) and for no other reason. Had Kevin’s imprisonment [...]

When Kevin was serving his tour in Iraq, he was stationed in a small town on the Iranian border at one point. During that time, there were many feelings expressed to Kevin by the Iraqis who lived in the area. Most were resentful of the occupation (invasion, still [...]

The media was in Crawford, Texas because Bush was there. They were bored, as they always are when following him around, unless he comes out with a chainsaw and pretends to clear some brush for a photo-op, which the press dutifully reports.
Cindy has ruined his vacation and in the beginning, [...]
Sorry for the silence, I’m in the middle of a busy few days sandwiched around our anniversary so I’ve been offline far more than on. But here are some interesting tidbits from the thinking blogworld for your edification.
MyDD has a great entry with a link to an MP3 file of Ohio Congressional candidate Paul [...]
edandbunkie over in TheWar forum of our discussion community brought this article to my attention and it has something very powerful to say about the real insult to the troops that is now going on in this country.
Hello, my name is Bill. I’m 24 years old and live in NJ. I fought in Sadr City, [...]
Since Kevin’s CM decision, I have been receiving phone calls and emails from soldiers stationed here. I have received calls from soldiers in Kevin’s unit. They trust Kevin, he has stood their test, and they know that he is there for them - that his stand is for them. It was a [...]
I’ve never been a fan of Richard Viguerie, the mass-mailing rightwing guru of the Gingrich revolution, and I wouldn’t otherwise link to something he wrote except that there is a real lesson here, and I believe an opportunity, for Democrats. Read this entry over at RedState.org (then disinfect your monitor…) and tell me if [...]
This post from Josh Marshall on Talking Points Memo points to a good Sidney Blumenthal article that reiterates what I’ve said before, though Mr. Blumenthal says it much better than I could.
Almost every significant aspect of the investigation to bring the London terrorists to justice is the opposite of Bush’s “war on terrorism”. From the [...]
Apparently poor Bob Novak, who makes his living bad-mouthing anyone to the left Darth Vader, is finally cracking under the strain. Even a relatively harmless interjection by Carville now sets him off and makes him completely lose his cool (and let’s remember that despite his protestations Novak is the master of the insulting interruption, [...]
This is the transcript of an interview Dori Smith of Talk Nation Radio conducted with John Bonifaz, who is leading an effort to impeach bush, this interview contains an excellent perspective on the subject and on the greater issues surrounding the invasion and occupation of Iraq.
Welcome to Talk Nation Radio, I’m Dori Smith.
Attorney John Bonifaz [...]
From The Denver Post. I’m sure the 14 Marines killed today in Iraq are delighted that their President is, in his own words, “working hard” in his job.
Waco, Texas - President Bush is getting the kind of break most Americans can only dream of - 33 days away from the office, loaded with vacation [...]
