    Nancy Pelosi is on her way to Lebanon, but her staff may want to get her on the phone. Or then again, maybe not. There is a sit-in underway in her Capitol Hill office today, Friday, March 30th, with military families and Iraq vets requesting to schedule an appointment to talk to her.
    They’ve been asking for four months now for her to agree to meet with gold star and military families, veterans for peace, Iraq vets, and active duty troops. Pelosi proposed a meeting with (…)

  • Why America Keeps Losing Wars

    In the U.S.A.’s foolish plunge into an 1964-1972 Indo-China war, the U.S. forces won the battles, but lost the war for no more relevant reason than choosing that war. The War in Iraq which Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher foisted upon a credulous President George H.W. Bush, was much less a disaster, only because George H.W. Bush was wisely advised not to go deeper into Iraq. But, after the end of that war, Europe and the U.S.A. (both) promptly entered and lost the Balkan Wars which never (…)

    Just who ARE we fighting? What are "Insurgents"?, rag-tag, barefooted teens with Kalichnikovs?, angry young (…)

    Just ask yourself the simplest questions. Is the BBC the National Enquirer? Has it ever happened before? How could it happen? Talk about the nose on your face. Could it be any plainer?
