Occupation of Iraq

A Sign for Joe

My hat is off to you, Joe Darby, and my hand is out, American to American. Welcome home, Joe.

Why Can't We Leave Iraq?

We can get out of Iraq with our head high just as we can leave a bad marriage or a bad job.

Alone for Peace

Having delivered our troops and the people of Iraq into a quagmire, the American public is working hard to forgive itself by reaffirming its commitment to the war against Terror.

The Truth Behind Iraq

It's because of our secret alliance with aliens that we're in Iraq and we gotta be there to keep the Stargate from opening.

The Eyes of the Nation Should Be On Texas

Those who scream most for war don't serve?

What's a Q or an N?

This is one hell of an OOOPS

The Use and Abuse of Scott Speicher

The campaign to free Scott Speicher strikes me as magical thinking in the spirit of the WMDs that repeated American searches have failed to find.

An Epic Challenge

My name is on this list and I hope that you will add yours.

Abu Ghraib and Nick Berg Explained

The language of pain is inexplicit yet profound.

A Pipeline of Atrocity

I continue to support Amnesty International's efforts to get at the truth.

Let the Disinformation Begin!

Trust them? Fat chance

Michael Berg: Enemy of The Right the Wrong

This demands a deep investigation of the Right's penetration into our government.

Nick Berg: The Video

What about the Iraqis blown to bits by our drones, our cruise missiles, our carpet bombing, our soldiers panicking in the streets of Bagdhad? I mourn Nick Berg, but I will not allow the prostitution of his death to make me forget them.

A Day of Silence
Today is dedicated to the memory of Nick Bergand the thousands of other victims of the War in Iraq....

Nick Berg

This is not a time for a pacifist to change his mind about war.

To Expatriates and Citizens of Other Nations

If you care about the war in Iraq, start caring about the activists, the poets, and the free voices who strive to live joyfully despite the harshness of these times.

To Mike Golby

It's tiring as hell to do so and then hear that I am not doing enough, that because I am not hammering at this twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, I must be just "another American".

Jeremiad against the Purblind

This peace that I see is dearly bought by others.

The Inconvenience Posed by Sufis

This Catholic woman insisted that Sufism was part of a long established Islamic plot to create fellow travelers.

War's Anniversary

I'm for remembering all the dead, American and Iraqi....no more soldier-hating presidents.

It wasn't a mistake, it was one

Just when you think they've exhausted all the ridiculous statements they could make, they come up with a foul ball that is way out past the cornfield, into the badlands.

March 4: Books not Bombs

One year into the Quagmire, the young people of our country are rising in opposition to the policies of this youth-hostile administration and the Quisling-run schools that they attend.

David Low

It's all too easy to second guess dead people.

Apologize to a Soldier

[Meridell] I think when people come back from war, instead of a parade we should apologize to them. Tell them we are sorry we screwed up so badly that they had to go.

Fog of War

The fog of war can take many forms: propaganda, disinformation, lack of witnesses. Or maybe the lack of American Middle East experts who can understand Arabic

Saddam Hussein has been Captured

Inside his ventilated grave

he flicked his eyes, probing

strobic flashes of his last seraglio.

Photodude and A Tree Named Saddam

And you know what? I don't have to answer him. I've said enough there and here about what my position is. His distortions will be plain to anyone who reads us both carefully.

The War is Over?

There remains an organization dedicated to driving U.S. forces out of Iraq. It lives in the eyes of every Iraqi man, woman, and child.

Not fit for American Television?

Now why do you suppose that this didn't make it to the American public?

She didn't say what they wanted her to say

When David Horowitz throws together a panel, you can expect that it will consist of people who attack liberals as a class.

Compare and Contrast

I must say that given the restrictions placed on London demonstrators, the British did pretty good with the turnout.

Bush Tops Vietnam Casualty Figures

Damn that Bush works fast!

Curtains for the Light

Without the necessary check of real and accurate news from the front, this war can continue to be waged. Their hope is that there can be no check and balance by the Fourth Estate (now untrustworthy) or the rising Fifth Estate (the InterNet) on the war.

Swing and a Miss
I see where, in a speech to the National Guard in New Hampshire today, our President, who is becoming a...

"No, It's Magic -- Don't Look In That Hand!"
This is torture. No, not the California recall. I don't live in California; so, I look at the recall as...

Why History Needs to be Revised

There's a dangerous myth here: that what is said once must only be repeated, never tested.

International Date Rape

La Belle France is right to keep her legs crossed here.

Working in Iraq

What's this? A THREE HOUR WORKDAY? And everything is paid for by the U.S. Government? Why, I think this is an idea whose time has come! Let's bring it to America! What's good enough for the Iraqis is good enough for me!
