washingtonpost.com: U.S. Targeted Fiery Cleric In Risky Move [Daypop Top 40]

Let's see. this Administration had no real, viable plan for Iraq after the fall of Saddam, so why should we be surprised that they really had no plan to deal with Sadr after ticking him off.

It's the War, Stupid

Larry Miller can be extremely funny and does reasonable right-wing material better than that loon Dennis Miller.

[Brad DeLong's Semi-Daily Journal (2004)]

I got 85% right. You can now find the quiz at Dr. Menlo. Funny how fascists tend to sound the same.  comment []1:01:02 PM    



Thrilling for a grilling. I'm very curious to see how the 9/11 Commission treats former FBI director Louis Freeh at today's hearings. Even more than the Bushies, Freeh was Richard Clarke's nemesis in Against All Enemies. Freeh launched a pre-emptive strike laying out his... [Daniel W. Drezner]

This should be the liveliest testimony of the week. Freeh has kept himself above water by various political machinations but that may all end soon.  comment []1:34:54 AM
