Bush Follows The Obama Doctrine

Obama, 8/1/07
As President, I would make the hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. military aid to Pakistan conditional, and I would make our conditions clear: Pakistan must make substantial progress in closing down the training camps, evicting foreign fighters, and preventing the Taliban from using Pakistan as a staging area for attacks in Afghanistan.

2004 Redux

You remember how every 5 minutes in 2004 we got a TERROR ALERT from Homeland Security, and then after Bush was re-elected the TERROR ALERTs seemed to go away? And then Tom Ridge admitted that at least a few of them were politically motivated?
Welcome back.
“The White House said Monday it agreed with an assessment by [...]

Bush Administration Legalism Keeps Losing The War On Terror

Again.
“A federal appeals court has slammed the reliability of U.S. government intelligence documents, saying just because officials keep repeating their assertions does not make them true.
A guard looks over the U.S. military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in this file photo.

This Again?

Conservatives once again try to whip up the noise machine to attack Obama for stressing the role of law enforcement in fighting terrorism, yet as I’ve noted for years here, law enforcement is often the first line of offense versus terrorism. Because it works.
The only way to defeat the terrorists is to have a president [...]

B.S. Conservative Legal Theory Makes Us Less Safe, Again

This keeps happening again and again and again. These idiot cons who Bush packed into our government think that they can just make up brand new laws in their heads and ignore the existing ones. They do so mostly to keep up the mirage of strength cons need to make it through the day. But [...]

Hamas Attacks Barack Obama

Well, faced with a likely American president who will actually fight terrorism, you would expect Hamas to be unsettled by Barack Obama.

7 Months To Go, Sweet Jesus

George Bush again attacks Democrats as terrorist appeasers, on foreign soil no less, when as we all know - George W. Bush has had more Americans die via terrorism under him than any other president in American history.
In a speech to Israel’s Knesset, Bush said: “Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the [...]

Rhetoric From McCain, Right Wing Talk Helps Terrorists

According to a report from the Homeland Security Department.

The Latest From The Annals Of B.S. Conservative Legal Theory

John Yoo’s memo giving the administration an escape clause for illegal acts in the war in terror has been released. If you look at it, his other work, and the interviews he has given its stunningly clear that he has no idea what the hell he’s doing (nor does Cheney’s legal guy, David Addington). It’s [...]

The Real Emboldenment Effect

If there is a crackpot theory about Iraq to be pushed, you can be sure Glenn Reynolds will be on the front lines of it. This go-around is about some study showing a correlation between terrorist emboldenment and access to the western press. But you know what really emboldens terrorists?
Stupid presidents, other moronic leaders who [...]
