Times: At last summer’s debate on Iraq, Cheney urged the president to resist the Democrats’ call for troop withdrawals and to prolong the surge indefinitely. But the Joint Chiefs argued that they didn’t have the troops to sustain the surge beyond the summer of 2008. Gates made a more political point: that if there were no prospects for gradual but substantial troop withdrawals, popular support for the war would evaporate, and the next president would probably pull out all the troops as quickly...

This here fancy chromosome-counting scientist says I'm right. And that wasn't even his point.
The Chicken Doves: The Democrat Leaders of Bush’s Congress
Pelosi, Reid and their inferiors in the President's Congress never intended to end the war and now they openly proclaim it. May Matt Taibbi damn them. Thanks to Lew.
Romney as Quintessential American Elitist
Chris Floyd explains how Mitt "The Cannibal" Romney, as revealed in his speech conceding to John "Beer Cartel" McCain, is the perfect representative of the vicious, deceitful, paranoid, racist parasites who rule the Anglo-American empire.
Sometimes TNR Smears Those Deserving

The Paul Campaign is Over
It's been a hell of a great Ron Paul Revolution. Thanks so much Dr. Paul for all of your efforts. It's great to know you'll still be taking 'em on in the Congress. Paul's statement: February 8, 2008 Whoa! What a year this has been. And what achievements we have had. If I may quote Trotsky of all people, this Revolution is permanent. It will not end at the Republican convention. It will not end in November. It will not end until we have won the great battle on which we have embarked. Not...

Republicans Are the Health of the State
Here's an op-ed I wrote: Some conservatives might conclude that Governor Schwarzenegger's endorsement of presidential candidate John McCain only proves that true conservatism has left the Republican Party. McCain has indeed diverged from supposed conservative values in many areas. And so has our governor. McCain criticized President Bush's tax cuts. Schwarzenegger has delivered some of the largest bond increases in California history. McCain has attacked Bush on global warming and even forced...

Three More Great Additions to Ron Paul’s Campaign
Robert A. Pape, Leon Hadar and Ivan Eland will be joining Philip Giraldi, Doug Bandow and Charles Peña on Ron Paul's foreign policy team (Bandow is also a broader policy advisor). This is great. At first I thought "Damn, I wish ya'll had done this months ago!" but then I thought "This is perfect timing for a race that's just beginning."
