Here’s the London Times, reporting on Tony Blair’s appearance before the Chilcot inquiry into Britain’s involvement in the Iraq war:
Tony Blair’s claims that Iran now poses as serious a threat as Saddam Hussein’s Iraq have been dismissed as a “piece of spin” by the British ambassador to Tehran.
Sir Richard Dalton was fiercely critical of [...]
AP has the story. (I might post on this again over the weekend.)
For years, Democrats have complained about how George Bush and his band of merry men put two wars on the national charge card. About how, far from raising taxes or cutting non-military spending to cover the cost of his wars, Bush actually cut taxes and introduced a massive new domestic spending program, Medicare Part [...]
This, apparently, is what happens if enough generations of economics professors hold forth in class enough times about “guns and butter”.

The Justice Department made a legal filing on Wednesday, urging the Supreme Court not to reconsider the [...]
It looks like the ticking time bomb scenario is in need of a little revision.
One Monday, Liz Cheney claimed that this is “exactly the situation my daddy these folks were in”:
So, if you knew that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had information about an imminent threat on the United States. Information that would result in the [...]
(1) More Bald-faced Lies From Barack Obama

Just to be clear [...]
Blackwater’s rebranding doesn’t seem to have helped them very much. Not only do they still manage to look as thoroughly dishonest and unethical as they used to before, but a 575-word AP story calls them Blackwater throughout except for one solitary reference to their new name in para 5. Some names — and [...]
