A Legacy to Die For

President George W. Bush says it will be about fifty years before historians can properly evaluate his legacy.

But it is slightly comforting, isn’t it, knowing that God apparently hasn’t … Continue reading “A Legacy to Die For”

Another Tenet Sting Failure?

According to the Washington Post, David Albright – a man their sycophantic reporter inexplicably considers to be "a prominent nuclear weapons expert" – has charged that an "international smuggling ring," having already "sold bomb-related parts to Libya, Iran and North Korea," has somehow acquired "blueprints for an advanced nuclear weapon," which Albright contends were intended … Continue reading “Another Tenet Sting Failure?”

An Act of War

Just as you thought the chances of the United States going to war with Iran were diminishing (largely because our own Iraqi sock-puppet regime has rejected U.S. accusations that Iran is directly responsible for American soldiers being killed in Iraq and because Director-General ElBaradei continues to report to the Board of Governors of the International … Continue reading “An Act of War”
