If you listen very carefully, above the din of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's nonsensical theatrical performances, the distant sound of war drums in the Persian Gulf are growing increasingly audible.
Two weeks ago, when Gen. Petraeus and Amb. Crocker appeared before Congress, they testified that Iran had greatly accelerated its...

In the five years that the U.S. military has occupied Iraq, the reasons for hating Americans have mounted: the looting of Mesopotamian treasures, rising violence and crime in the streets, Abu Ghraib, Haditha, the leveling of An Najaf, and also add "sand nigger" and "camel jockey" to the list. By...

About three weeks ago, when it was abundantly clear that there was really no way for Hillary to clinch the nomination, she reminded me of George W. Bush soon after Florida 2000 -- the loser who refused to concede. To quote Joan Didion in her marvelous early essay, "Goodbye...

As the war in Iraq enters its sixth year, official US casualty figures approach 4,000 dead and nearly 30,000 wounded. These figures exclude the many who have less visible but no less damaging injuries to mental health; those whose injuries resulted from accidents while they served in a war zone;...

Much of our understanding of Iraq, five years on, is gotten in drive-by glimpses. John McCain swoons into Baghdad for a 48-hour stopover full of photo-ops. American personnel dart out of the Green Zone for quickie missions, rarely sharing tea with the people they are paid to protect. The evening...

The Surge is a Farce
Lionel Beehner | Posted February 28, 2008 | Politics
If anyone criticizes the surge in Iraq -- as I have on occasion -- they are accused of not supporting the troops, of questioning the divine wisdom of David Petraeus, of being a weak-kneed defeatist. This is utterly ridiculous. Let's look at the facts:
