We just passed two significant milestones in the Iraq War. First, President Bush observed the fifth anniversary of America's ill-advised invasion by repeating his mantra: "the surge is working." Then the tragic loss of four soldiers raised our nation's death toll in Iraq to 4,000.

For those of us who...

Recently, the winner of the 2007 Oscar for Best Picture, No Country for Old Men, came to DVD, and I've had the chances to re-watch it several times since I first saw it at Cannes in May. We've also recently marked the fifth anniversary of the beginning of...

This November we will have a chance to completely turn this country around by picking a new president. In addition, we will be afforded the choice to replace incumbent members of Congress based on their past performances. My advice to voters is to look at your member of Congress' voting...

The coincidence of the fifth anniversary of the American war of choice in Iraq with the Christian Holy Week provides an opportune moment for looking at how the names "Christianity" and "Jesus" have been stolen by people who preach and do the opposite of what Jesus taught.

Originally posted in the Washington Independent.

"The danger," said President George W. Bush on Sept. 25, 2002, "is that Al Qaeda becomes an extension of Saddam's madness and his hatred and his capacity to extend weapons of mass destruction around the world." He proceeded to build on a lie...

The fifth anniversary of Colin Powell's day of infamy came and went, virtually unnoticed. A month earlier, Editor & Publisher, ThinkProgress.org, and others commemorated the fifth anniversary of his speech to the U.N. Security Council on Iraq's purported WMD. Referencing this earlier date plays into Powell's disinformation campaign,...

Full Disclosure: I opposed the invasion of Iraq in 2003, because I was convinced that war was unnecessary and would result in a costly, open-ended occupation. Along with several other scholars, I made the case for containment in a number of published articles, speeches, and media appearances. I also helped...

To George W. Bush, the loss of nearly 4,000 lives, 30,000 wounded and $500B on the Iraq War is "worth it." But, there is no evidence his family, Republican members of Congress or any member of his Administration agrees -- unless, of course, they mean it is "worth it" for...

As we mark the fifth anniversary of the Iraq war, the most troubling fact, in a long and tragic list of troubling facts, is that we already know there will be a sixth anniversary. Worse yet, depending upon the outcome of the November election, there could be a seventh, tenth,...

This week marks the fifth anniversary of the war in Iraq, but you wouldn't know it from what you see on TV.

With all the scandal-mongering coverage of the Democratic primary, the media's been too busy to spend much time talking about the two wars we're still fighting. In...

The 4,000th American soldier will die in Iraq sometime this week, the fifth anniversary of the war. Hundreds of "winter soldiers" -- veterans of the war -- confess the shameful abuse inflicted on the Iraqi people during those years. Yet the presidential candidates have passed up the chance to say...

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...

This marks the five-year anniversary of the war in Iraq. Usually, I'm against the media playing up these kinds of things. After all, the five-year date is no different than the day before in Iraq, or the day after in Iraq. Troops are still under attack, some die, some are...
