No End in Sight
14 hours ago ago from Top Documentary Films - Watch Free Documentaries Online
On March 19, 2003, forces from the United States and a handful of allied nations invaded Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein from power. American military leaders expected the conflict to last no more than a few months, and President George W. Bush declared that major military operations were over less than two months later. However, Iraq soon became a dangerous quagmire for American forces, and near the end of 2006, Secretary of Defense ...

By Stephen M. Walt | Monday, February 8, 2010 Probably the most controversial claim in my work with John Mearsheimer on the Israel lobby is our argument that it played a key role in the decision to invade Iraq in 2003. Even some readers who were generally sympathetic to our overall position found that claim hard to accept, and some left-wing critics accused us of letting Bush and Cheney off the hook or of ignoring the importance of other ...

It appears that American citizens curious about why we went to war in Iraq may soon get some answers . . . from London. The British inquiry into the war is now heading into a more advanced stage after the testimony of Tony Blair. Notably, the English want to interview Bush officials. I will be discussing this topic tonight on MSNBC Countdown. Blair's testimony was quite revealing, including his confirmation that some basic ...

22 hours ago ago from Jason Kelly
Now that the latest US budget has been thoroughly digested by the media, I'm encouraged to see a greater percentage than usual catching on to the nation's stroll down the path to bankruptcy. Maybe we can chalk that up to more people paying attention to finances after watching the ripoff of taxpayers orchestrated by banksters and their wholly-owned politicians. What's discouraging, however, is that too many people think this is a new path ...

Sounds like every other Democrat during the Bush years when the mid part of the Iraq War wasn't going to well. "I voted against the Iraq War before I voted for the Iraq War" or some stupid crap like that. Behold an excellent observation from The Anchoress on this line from the Obama administration: " Our budget explicitly calls for permanently extending the Bush tax cuts for households making less than $250,000. " What? People who were ...

Zack Exley: Rahm, his critics, and the American people
20 hours ago ago from Huffington Post
A storyline is solidifying around the topic of the administration's failure to lead. One great example is Steve Clemons' post yesterday on Edward Luce's big White House article . Through Luce's piece, a swarm of angry critics of the Rahm Administration, voice their (anonymous) concerns. It's Rahm vs. a range of complaints about what he, and the inner circle he coordinates, are doing wrong. But none of the critics, as they are presented in the ...

18 hours ago ago from Huffington Post
Time to take back "populism" from Teabaggers and Palinites who've kidnapped it to only mean less government and taxes. Democrats need to define a phrase and philosophy that tells Independents we're on your side. This blog post is about language -- a phrase actually. For policy wonks, please read blogs and books by Krugman, Stiglitz, Reich, Kuttner, Warren, Galbraith, Borosage. Or, if you think rhetoric is below your pay grade, I'd ask you ...
