The IFC Media Project: Bill Kristol & Pentagon Propaganda
Ideology is no excuse for the Pentagon's bad behavior and it's an even worse excuse for a spirit of journalism that routinely fails to tell the whole story.

Veterans Bring The Truth Home
Even considering the long list of mistakes perpetuated by this Administration on the American people, the war in Iraq is by far the most urgent problem president-elect Obama must address.
It's Not Hillary, It's the Policy Stupid!
Obama should declare that seeking regime change in Iran is no longer the policy of the U.S. and initiate diplomatic contacts with the Iranian government immediately without preconditions.
Howard Dean for Education Secretary
I would love to have Howard Dean in the cabinet. Not so much because he's a progressive as because he is right. I am of the naïve belief that that should matter.
Happy Thanksgiving, Mr. President-Elect!
For Obama, the Mumbai attacks mean that we are on the verge of another major geopolitical crisis, with enormous implications for our already deeply troubled programs in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Why the Gates Pick Works
With a new Commander in Chief with a very different view, Gates provides the perfect short-term bridge between the eras of pre-Iraq-redeployment and post-Iraq-redeployment.
Wake Up, World! We are Fighting Two Wars Against Al Qaida
As long as Indian troops are patrolling lands where Muslim insurgents exist and elicit government responses that ostracize the Muslim public and moderates, there will continue to be attacks on Indian soil. Period.
Memo to Americans Spying for Another Country or Considering It
A recent Defense Department report cites cases of 173 Americans arrested between 1947 and 2007 for passing state secrets to al-Qaeda, China, Egypt, Cuba, Poland, Germany, Russia, North Korea, France, among others.
U.S. Troops To Stay in Iraq Until 2012?
What exactly does the Iraqi parliament's troop withdrawal agreement change in the fundamental relationship between Iraq and the United States? The answer is: nothing.
Why George W. Bush Made Me Sick Yesterday
For George Bush, democracy is bulling through a Florida decision which makes his government only borderline legitimate from the gitgo. It is forcing "change" with soldiers rather than friendly persuasion. It is pandering.
I'm Thankful That I Am Not in Iraq or Afghanistan Right Now.
I don't think about our troops enough, and I don't do so for the worst reason. I don't because I lump them into a conservative agenda that is not my own. And that is horribly ignorant.
Big Trouble in Little America
Big Trouble in Little China debuted in 1986 -- arguably the peak of American world supremacy.
Bush Talking Turkey Again
Standing in front of thousands of applauding soldiers in Kentucky, President Bush staunchly defended the US-led invasion of Iraq. He must have missed the Iraqis pummeling his effigy with their shoes on Friday.
Another Turkey Day at War
Iraq and Afghanistan veterans have faced unprecedented challenges, but we also have some things to be thankful for this year.
US Citizen Diplomats Arrive In Iran, Invited By Ahmadinejad
President-elect Obama, Iranians are wonderful people. They don't deserve harm.

Rove: We Wouldn't Have Invaded Iraq If We Knew The Truth About WMDs

Li-arl, LiarLiarLiarLiarLIar.
Can't say it enough about this revisionist bs. They fixed the intelligence to suit what they wanted to do as per the Downing St memo. Gimme a breaky break. We were not born yesterday.
Please ... anyone who has had the opportunity to read Ron Suskind's "The Way of the World" knows that the information on the status of Iraq's WMD capacity was delivered to the US by the British prior to the invasion, after an MI6 agent made contact with a high level Iraqi Government official ... one of the faces on Bush's deck of perpetrator cards ... who told the British Agent that Saddam had NO WMD ... he had destroyed everything he had. The CIA even had another source from within the Iraqi Government who independently corroborated the NO WMD claim ... and guess what? The White House got ANGRY about having this intel provided to them because it didn't support their narrative for invading Iraq.
So bottom line ... Rove and Bush (who yesterday said something to the same effect about Intel) are unambiguous liars on this matter.
Just another attempt in an increasing effort to re-write history and absolve themselves of the problems they've caused. This might work with people yet to be born. But we were there. We know what happened.
