Destroying Iraq To Save It

Posted By Rod Kaufman
It reminds me of the famous quotation from an American military officer on Vietnam: "It became necessary to destroy the village in order to save it."
Despite Dubya's high hopes about the fighting in Iraq, the US military sees it differently and today brought airstrikes being called in by Iraqis to kill Iraqis:

More ON McCain

Posted By Rod Kaufman
You have to give McCain credit where credit is due. He said he didn't know much about the economy and his latest proposal for solving the credit crisis proves it:

McCain Wouldn't Be Covered...

Under his own health care plan:

Edwards is correct, people with cancers are routinely denied coverage when seeking coverage under a new health care plan because they have a pre-existing condition. Of course, members of congress have the best health care plan available, unlike many of their constituents who have none.
Go ahead, vote Republican and get more of the same...

Clinton Disagreements Pay

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Lee,
First, where does your CNN link state a "spouse" received $800,000 for a "disagreement"? I'll save you the trouble of rechecking it: it doesn't.
Second, how soon we forget all of the past threads claiming Hillary will be actually be a Bill Clinton surrogate? Remember, "Billary" as she was called?
Well, now we have a distinct departure on policy between the two and it's still simply more of the same crud from the boys from the other side of the isle...

Spot On Editorial on Iraq

http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-ed-iraq9apr09,0,3257312.story
Basically, the GOP's circular thinking on the issue is well defined in this article. The Republican "logic" here reminds me of a dog endlessly chasing its own tail...

Bush Supports The Troops

Posted By Rod Kaufman
Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
Bush approves "shortening" the deployment of our troops in Iraq from 15 to 12 months! In other words, he's approved reducing an extended deployment to a normal duration deployment! Let's all celebrate! I'm sure all of the troops and their families will celebrate as well...er,ah except those who are already in Iraq because Bush's "gift" only applies to those lucky ones arriving in our new democracy in August! How many ways can you say,"catch 22"...

Maybe Obama WAS correct

Posted By Rod Kaufman
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2008/04/a-god-and-guns.html
After reading an article in the week magazine entitled, "America: Ignorant and Proud of It", I'm not so sure Obama's comments and those from Steve Lopez aren't far from the truth...
