Although he didn't say it outright, General Abizaid's implicit view seemed to be that the world would not be able to stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and that we would have to learn to live with it.
Condi needs to either convince the president what a catastrophe attacking Iran would be. Or, failing that, break with the administration and do the noble thing by resigning while it still might make a difference.
A nuclear attack on a nation of seventy million people (a great many of them innocent of the desire to wipe Israel off the map) is morally indefensible. How can Morris defend it?
It's no surprise this latest NIE has fallen down the administration's memory hole, but what excuse do those in the media have for sipping the amnesia juice?
The McCain team, after goading Obama on to go overseas must now be kicking themselves to high heaven when he is greeted by thousands of people who wish they could be voting for him.
It's simply the most unadulterated good news to come out of this administration ever. Dare I say they've done something right?
The terms "preemption" and "self defense" that Israeli hawks like Morris throw around are nothing but euphemisms for aggressive war and military violence.
Whereas the implications of a war with Iran for the national security of the US would be much worse than those of the Iraq war, little has been said about the implications for our economic security here at home.
For only the fourth (or fifth, depending on how you count) time in his presidency, George W. Bush had a veto overridden by both houses of Congress thi...
McCain, who yesterday commented that the U.S. could kill Iranians with cigarettes, was apparently "just warming up," one aide said today.
While Azar Nafisi's bestselling Reading Lolita in Tehran, chronicled her efforts to teach forbidden Western literature, most Americans would be hard pressed to recall a single novel from Nafisi's native country.
For Iran's own best interests, its contentious leaders would be well advised to tone down their anti-Israeli threats and find a diplomatic solution to its suspected nuclear weapons program.
I am not willing to leave even the "slightest crack" open for this president to unilaterally set this nation down another disastrous path of war in Iran.
Much of the media, which does not understand the military issues involved, and exaggerates the dangers in the Israel-Iran confrontation, bear much of the blame. So here is some clarification.
McCain's belief that Iran is going to hand weapons over to terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah is unlikely because the Iranian government is fully aware that other countries could identify Iran as the provider.
Had the hundreds of billions of dollars poured into the invasion and occupation of Iraq been put into alternative energy the world might have had a fighting chance.

Hillarious
Shoulda included the old man from the swift boat ads he's already said some questionable things and he's bound to cause problems later on
He really is taking a nose dive...
My sympathies, Mr Grahame-Smith ... this must have been a very difficult article to write! You must have really had to work to come up with 99 problems for a candidate like John McCain.
Seriously ... limiting yourself to *only* 99 problems?!? At least you can use the other reams of problems for future filler posts. ;-D
Take a few days off, now.
he's already planning 99 more problems
It will still all turn on just how stupid the masses are, and they may be as stupid in '08, especially since they are certified racists, as they were in '00 and '04. So we have this weird game of noting all the moronic things McCain does, but the only people who notice these gaffes are the small minority of intelligent voters. If McCain wins this year, we might as well kiss our democracy good-bye, and face the fact that we are governed entirely by electing front-men who are elected by the manipulation of the animals, and all the blogging in the world will never be able to get the animals on the side of reason and sanity.
Well done.
You forgot something.
37. His 2008 opposition to the G.I. Bill.
He then took credit for the GI Bill. Seriously, I can't believe that McCain taking full credit for something that obviously was someone else's work hasn't completely hit home with Independents. He didn't even credit Webb at all.
