The Week That Should Have Ended McCain's Presidential Hopes
Any one of the embarrassing incidents and comments this week would dominate the news cycle if they came from the Obama campaign. Yet McCain barely gets a mention.
More than 1 in 10 Army Recruits Now Given "Moral Waivers"
Though dozens of these soldiers would not have qualified for law enforcement jobs in this country, the military sent them to Iraq, where troops often function as police officers.
Is McCain Flip-Flopping, Calling for Draft, or Just in Fantasy Land?
If McCain is serious about an indefinite commitment to Iraq, with no timetable for when the troops come home, then he doesn't have the troops to make any meaningful "surge" in Afghanistan.
Miss Universe in Vietnam -- Isn't That Wild?
The last time I think a prime time NBC show originated anywhere in Vietnam, it was a Bob Hope special, he was entertaining the troops on some base and it certainly wasn't live.
The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder
To discuss anything less than the death penalty for someone responsible for over 100,000 deaths would on its face seem ludicrous. But we are dealing with the president of the United States here.
Surge Amnesia: The Media's Newest Affliction

Like Vagueness? Elect McCain Commander In Chief
McCain's call for an "integrated" "multi-front" plan for victory in Aghanistan is just gobbledygook for "stay the course but make tweaks around the margins."
Beyond Judgment
McCain was not just a supporter of the war, but was perhaps the most vocal advocate of invading Iraq in Congress. This doesn't simply represent bad judgment -- it represents a completely bankrupt worldview.
TV Ad Wars: Global O v. Latin Mac
McCain has a problematic new ad for Latino voters. It won't work -- and he was already far behind where Team McCain thought he'd be with Latinos a few months ago.
Is Our Long National Obsession With Cars Finally Ebbing?
One thing I have never understood about Americans is their love of cars, and I am from Texas. To me, a car is like a prison sentence.

It is truly amazing how fast the media is to publish any story favorable to Barry and how slow they are to print corrections to the same story when said corrections reveal their bias.
What correction? If you mean Mal-i-ki's clarification he didn't really change his stance one bit.
He wants a timetable. Something this administration has refused to talk about........................
until now. This should be the number one headline everywhere, but of course it is not.
What your post implies is patently false.
As a member of the ROTW (rest of the world) I just want to say how heartening I find HufPo. The level of intelligence, awareness and humour (in the face of horror) shown by most posters on this topic, for example, is very encouraging, even while I fear that you are a tiny minority.
A "news" orginazation in the USA has published the following:
Iraq"s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has not endorsed any specific timeframe for possible U.S. troops withdrawals, a government spokesman said Sunday.
The statement by Ali al-Dabbagh came after an article was published by Germany"s Der Spiegel magazine which quoted al-Maliki as favoring the 16-month withdrawal window proposed by B.a.r.a.c.k. O.b.a.m.a..
The article quoted al-Maliki as saying "U.S. presidential candidate B.a.r.a.c.k O.b.a.m.a talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right timeframe for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes."
Al-Dabbagh said al-Maliki"s views were "misunderstood and mistranslated" by Der Spiegel and that the prime minister backs a general vision of pulling out U.S. combat forces based on talks with Washington "and in the light of the continuing positive developments on the ground."
He meant what he said, until the administration told him no more money unless you lie for us, as you have done before.
gave me a break.......it doesn't matter what he says anyway......we will leave when we want and not before.
let's see how BushCo and Mc Lame spin this to their Talking Point - spin that web of deceit - the truth always finds the light of day, even "accidentally"...spill clean up on aisle 5.
Who is leading? Who is following?
