Everybody Knows!
By Jim Kirwan
Most Americans still believe that they live in a free country
with laws that govern this society and protect the citizens
from any and all attacks: because to fail to believe in this; is
to be "Un- American" in some way. Continue

Reality Check
The Democrats Are The Real Problem
By Mike Whitney
If the path to peace requires crushing the Democratic Party
and its blood-thirsty candidates; so be it. The main thing
is to stop the killing. If Obama won't do it; we'll find someone
who will. Continue

New York Times Op-Ed
Israel Will Attack Iran
By Steven D., Booman Tribune
Yes, you read my title correctly. Today's New York Times
includes an op-ed piece by Benny Morris, a Professor of
Middle Eastern history at Ben Gurion University. He claims
Israel will most certainly attack Iran within the next 4 to
7 months, and if conventional weapons are unsuccessful to
knock out Iran's nuclear program, than Israel will escalate
to the use of nuclear weapons. Continue

A Government of People, After All
By David Michael Green
No oceans of ink applied to mountains of parchment, and
certainly no new scheme concocted by James Baker and
Warren Christopher, could ever save America’s Congress,
or its press, or its opposition party, or its people, from the
historical stain which has attached to them forever by virtue
of their abdication of responsibility when it came to Iraq.

Swan Song for Fannie
Eulogy For The "Ownership Society"
By Mike Whitney
The fact remains that the two biggest mortgage-lenders
in the world are busted and last week's stock sell-off
was tantamount to a run on the country's largest bank.
Paulson's statement was really nothing more than a eulogy
for the mortgage industry; a few heartfelt words over
the rigid corpse of a close friend. Continue

McCain-As-War-Hero Myth
By Ted Rall
When McCain was shot down during his 23rd bombing sortie,
he was happily shooting up a civilian neighborhood in the
middle of a major city. Vietnamese locals beat him when
they pulled him out of a local lake; yeah, that must have
sucked. But I can’t help think of what would have happened
to Mohammed Atta had he somehow wound up alive on a
lower Manhattan street on 9/11. Continue

Gitmo ‘Justice’ for US Citizens?
By Robert Parry
A conservative-dominated U.S. Appeals Court has opened
the door for President George W. Bush or a successor to
throw American citizens - as well as non-citizens - into a
legal black hole by designating them “enemy combatants,”
even if they have engaged in no violent act and are living
on U.S. soil. Continue

Crystal Ball Gazing: Visualize the Dow at 6,000
By Mike Whitney
Last Wednesday, at an improvised press conference, George Bush
gave what may have been the most comical performance of his
eight year presidency. Looking like the skipper on the flight-deck
of the Hindenburg, Bush tried his best to reassure the public
that "all's well" with the economy and that everyone's deposits
were perfectly safe in the rapidly disintegrating US banking
system. Continue
