Obama on the Brink

Robert Scheer | Posted 07.23.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

Both candidates are embracing, rather than challenging, the fundamental irrationality of Bush's "war on terror," which substitutes hysteria for rational analysis in appraising the dangers the country faces.

The Real Legacy of the 'Reagan Revolution'

Robert Scheer | Posted 07.16.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

Indifference to economics does not explain the prominence of Phil Gramm in the McCain campaign during the U.S. financial crisis. Indifference to the folks losing their homes is a more plausible explanation.

Taiwan Declares Peace on China

Robert Scheer | Posted 07.09.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

To the Chinese, irrespective of past allegiances, the prospect of war has come to be viewed as counterproductive, and they now have the confidence to show it.

Happy Oil Dependence Day

Robert Scheer | Posted 07.02.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

It was always about the oil -- that's why "we" invaded Iraq -- only "we" aren't getting any, at least not at a reasonable price. The oil companies are.

Wasteful Weapons and the Politicians Who Love Them

Robert Scheer | Posted 06.25.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

The DNC's attack on McCain speaks volumes to the bipartisan gut-checking in favor of military waste that has led us to squander trillions of taxpayer dollars since 9/11.

Is Clinton the Ticket for Obama?

Robert Scheer | Posted 06.18.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

Clinton is about as good as the Democratic Party leadership will accept in their insistence on a right-of-center balance to Obama's purported liberalism.

Blame Rising Oil Prices on Bush

Robert Scheer | Posted 06.11.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

Yep, he did it; Bush's deliberate roiling of world politics is the key variable in the run-up of oil prices. No president has done more to destablize the politics of oil-producing countries.

What Makes McCain Tick?

Robert Scheer | Posted 06.04.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

Will the real John McCain stand up? Actually, I don't expect him to, now that he is the Republican presidential candidate, he is pandering to the irrationalities that drive his party.

Where is the Outrage?

Robert Scheer | Posted 05.28.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

Are we Americans truly savages or merely tone-deaf in matters of morality, and therefore more guilty of terminal indifference than venality?

Paying for War at the Pump

Robert Scheer | Posted 05.21.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

There is no better measure of the failure of Bush's foreign policy than that the American taxpayers who paid for the invasion of Iraq are now being rewarded with skyrocketing prices at the pump.

The Tortured Law on Torture

Robert Scheer | Posted 05.14.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

Now comes news that charges have been dropped against the so-called 20th hijacker because the "evidence" he supplied under torture and later recanted is not credible enough to go to trial.

Battle of the Hawks

Robert Scheer | Posted 05.07.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

In the increasingly unlikely event of a McCain-Clinton election, we would be up against a choice between the neoconservatives and the neoliberals as to who could be more adventurous in getting us into unjustifiable foreign wars.

No Country for Old Men

Robert Scheer | Posted 04.30.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

Let's not kid any longer. Age is a factor in this race and nowhere is it so important as in McCain's vice-presidential choice.

Clinton Threatens to 'Obliterate' Iran

Robert Scheer | Posted 04.23.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

Shouldn't the potential leader of a nation that used nuclear bombs to obliterate hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese employ extreme caution before making such a threat?

The Man Who Would Be Bush

Robert Scheer | Posted 04.16.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

A vote for McCain is a vote for that rancid recipe mixing religious bigotry, imperial arrogance and corporate greed that he had stood against in the run-up to the 2000 presidential election.

Aboard the Condoleezza Rice

Robert Scheer | Posted 02.13.2008 | Politics


Robert Scheer

Oil sold for $22.81 the year before the war was launched against a country with the world's second-largest holding, and the average price last year was almost three times that, at $64.20.
