10 Years Later, Bin Laden Killed

May 2, 2011

The announcement late last night… In a rare, late-night statement from the White House Sunday at 11:35 p.m., President Obama announced that Osama Bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in a firefight Sunday, in "a compound deep inside Pakistan." How, When and Where…. According [...]

Who Are The Libyan Rebels?

March 31, 2011

What's in a name, right? Terrorists, insurgents, rabble-rousers, freedom fighters…..how about let's call them…rebels. Yeah, that's it. And so it was in the Village. Americans have not one clue who these Libyan "rebels" are, what they stand for, what they will do if Qaddafi is overthrown, how they regard the U.S. and the West, how [...]

Can't Learn, Can't Be Taught

March 22, 2011

Ed Markey (D-MA)…..yesterday on MSNBC…. We're in Libya because of oil. And I think both Japan and nuclear technology and Libya and this dependence that we have upon imported oil have once again highlighted the need for the United States to have a renewable energy agenda going forward… As I said the other day…..if Libya [...]

Another War Not About Oil

March 18, 2011

Remember how invading the sovereign nation of Iraq in 2003 had nothing to do with Iraq's huge oil reserves? Nothing whatsoever. Once the WMD-in-Iraq bullsh*t meter pegged out….the reason for attacking a nation which posed no threat to the United States became clearer. You see, what Iraq was always about was the Iraqi people. Freeing [...]

Torturing Bradley Manning

December 16, 2010

One of the most regrettable practices our nation has embraced and defended over the last 10 years is the practice of torturing those we have incarcerated. Nothing is more cowardly than punishing a person who can not defend himself…..either physically or psychologically. The moment the news leaked to the world that America had adopted torture [...]

83 To 15

December 14, 2010

It isn't often that obstructionistic Republican Senators act all bipartisan. This is what they normally do… In the 110th Congress of 2007-2008, with Republicans in the minority, there were a record 112 cloture votes. That was a doubling of the previous record. As of August, 2010….Republican Senators had rung up 53 filibusters in the current [...]

2010 War Criminal Book Tour

November 9, 2010

Matt Lauer: (quoting from the American war criminal's new book) "It (9-11) redefined duty and it would redefine my job. I could never forget what happened to America that day.

All We Are Saying Is Give War A Chance

September 21, 2010

The most dangerous political movement in America today is not the Village darlings, the Tea Partyers. Not even close. Tea Partyers are like the cheap noisemakers many people use at midnight on New Year's Eve…..they're fun for a few minutes but have no lasting, practical value. The most dangerous political movement in America today is [...]
