Obama. Now.
It is impossible to watch the news films of Senator Barack Obama in Kenya and the extraordinary outpouring of love he has engendered without coming to grips with the realization that not only is the rock star the Democrat Party sorely needs standing right in front of them; Obama is exactly the breath of fresh air we all need to regain our sense of pride and hope after eight miserable years of relentless division and fearmongering. When is the last time we all had a chance to do something historic and unprecedented and to feel proud of ourselves for doing the right thing. We can't afford to wait for Hillary to lose in 2008 (or 2012 if she squeaks through this time). There is too much at stake. Obama. Now. posted Jerry Bowles 7:51 PM

The Iraq War is Over. We Lost.
With more than 100 Iraqis dying every day in what is, by any definition, a civil war, only the 30 percent or so of truly dumbass Americans who believe that Iraq is overflowing with good news but the liberal media is suppressing it continue to keep the faith. These are the same 30 percent who believe that we were attacked by Iraq on September 11, 2001, there really are flying angels, and John Mark Karr and Jon Benet were dating and he killed her when a little harmless rough sex got out of hand. Move on Jake. It's Chinatown.
Michael R. Gordon, as honorable and honest a war correspondent as can be found on the planet, puts devastating lie to the "as Iraqi troops stand up, we'll stand down" spin. In a piece in the New York Times magazine called An Army of Some, Gordon writes:

Officially, the Bush administration’s strategy is: Clear, hold and build. But with limited American forces to do any clearing, the war in western Iraq looks much more like hang on and hand over. Hang on against an insurgency that seems to be laying roadside bombs as quickly as they are discovered, and hand over to an Iraqi military that is still a work in progress.If, as the administration has long claimed, Iraq is the central front on the war on terror, we have suffered a stunnning defeat. Even if you still believe that the war was a good idea, you have to admit that the Bushies have bungled it. Big time. It's long past time to bring this unwinnable fiasco to an end and hold those responsible for it accountable. posted Jerry Bowles 10:16 AM

Macaca This, George
You might think that George Allen merely stumbled across a nonsense word that just happens to be a French slur for North Africans and did not know (as he claims) what it means. You might think that until you learn that his mother is a French Tunisian and that, despite the good ole boy act, he speaks very good French. Somebody here has a problem with brown people or, maybe, just mother issues. posted Jerry Bowles 9:38 AM

Bobbies Foil Terrorist Plot
The news that British police have foiled the latest terrorist plot to blow up airliners (and did so using good old-fashioned ear-to-the-ground tactics) should be instructive to the Bush administration and to anyone who believes the best way to fight the war on terror is to terrorize the Middle East through a "muscular" display of American military force (i.e., the Cheney Doctrine). Coupled with the Canadian plot thwarted by the Mounties a few months back, the latest incident (and there will be lots more) shows what should have been obvious since 9/11--good, local, know-your-neighborhood law enforcement works. If we had spent half as much money beefing up police and port and border security as we've poured down the Iraq rathole, America would be a lot safer today. posted Jerry Bowles 8:13 AM

Joltin' Joe Refuses to Go Away
Mixed bottom line in Connecticut, I fear. True, our prissy Ivy League twit won the upset but not by a margin that is likely to induce the kind of ephiphanous moment we had hoped in Bush lite Democrats. On the other hand, the disappearance of the mentally unstable Cynthia McKinney from the national stage will be a blessing for all concerned. posted Jerry Bowles 7:58 AM

Pentagon Lied About 9/11 Reaction
From today's Washington Post:
Memo to Democrats: It's the lying, stupid.
From today's Washington Post:
For more than two years after the attacks, officials with NORAD and the FAA provided inaccurate information about the response to the hijackings in testimony and media appearances. Authorities suggested that U.S. air defenses had reacted quickly, that jets had been scrambled in response to the last two hijackings and that fighters were prepared to shoot down United Airlines Flight 93 if it threatened Washington.
In fact, the commission reported a year later, audiotapes from NORAD's Northeast headquarters and other evidence showed clearly that the military never had any of the hijacked airliners in its sights and at one point chased a phantom aircraft -- American Airlines Flight 11 -- long after it had crashed into the World Trade Center.
Memo to Democrats: It's the lying, stupid.
