More images from Fallujah.
And we were going to be “welcomed as liberators.” This commenter at the Washington Monthly blog pretty much sums up my attitude.
Goddamn it, I TOLD YOU SO!!! All the freaking warbloggers and pollyanna neocons with your friggin’ visions of freedom and democra[c]y in the Middle East.

It’s looking more and more like Clarke was not alone in trying to get the Bush administration to recognized the threat posed by Al Quaeda, nor in his astonishment at their ability to not “get it.”
In reporting for our book, “The Age of Sacred Terror,” Steven Simon and I found that Clarke was […]

Still taking small steps towards deciding if law school is right for me. Yesterday, I picked up a copy of Barron’s Pass Key to the LSAT, for ten bucks. There were bigger, more expensive LSAT books available, but I decided this was was enough of an investment for now. It describes the different types of […]
One of the things that sticks in your throat as an adoptive parent is that period of time during with birthparents can change their minds and reclaim the child you’ve already started bonding with.

Just when you think it can’t get more interesting, a former member of the Bush administration confirms Clarke’s charges.
My experience confirms what Clarke relates in his book. The Bush administration did ignore the threat of terrorism. It was focused on tax cuts, building a ballistic missile system, withdrawing from the ABM Treaty and rejecting the […]
“Don’t Go To Law School, if …”, says, Scheherazade.
Don’t go to law school right out of college because you’re smart and you’ve been encouraged to by various history professors or relatives or because you like debating or arguing and you vaguely think you might want to get into politics someday. Don’t go to law school […]
Upon seeing Monster it’s easy to understand why Charlize Theron elected to portray serial killer Aileen Wournos. After reading the script, I’m willing to bet she should practically feel the weight of the Oscar statuette already in her hand. It would be a great part for any actress, though few could probably submerge themselves into […]
I’ve got one more use-it-or-lose-it day left to take of from work this month. So, I’m taking it today. I might just spend some time wandering through bookstores. I may pick up an book of previous LSAT tests, find a quiet spot,and see how I do. I might also take in a matinee screening of […]
Kevin of Lean Left, hit the nail on the head concerning the Bush administration’s response to Kerry’s use of biblical scripture to obliquely criticize the Bush administration’s policies and actions.
Anyone who says their favorite political philosopher is Jesus Christ had best be prepared to defend his actions in the light of Jesus’ teachings.
There’s more.
