Attacks and Apologies
Elliott Abrams has a protégé in the State Department, picking up where he left off in the eighties.
Remind me how people like this get appointed the State Department. Oh, yes, the President is George W. Bush. I forgot for a second.
Detainees are held indefinitely, without charges or trials, for years. Some sink into despair and commit the ultimate act of desperation. Then Colleen Graffy shits on their grave and calls it “a good PR move.”
Rear Admiral Harris, commander of the camp, saw it as “an act of asymmetrical warfare waged against us.”
I have few words to describe this.
George Will is once again attacking the concept of global warming. Noam Chomsky once called Will a “lunatic,” and I am reminded of that label here.
Mary Matalin, one of Dick Cheney’s former mercenaries, defended Ann Coulter’s remarks. Of course, I expect little of Matalin, but this is truly sick.
There are multiple news reports of US plans to build permanent bases in Iraq to host 50,000 or so US troops there for a long time. What does the long-term cost of this Iraq War look like now?
