War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As the Afghanistan experience slithers into the aftershock of a bad acid trip, the war pushers are saying one thing, and doing another — white assholes talking with big, ugly forked tongue. From the Army Times on 18,000 new troops for the Afghan theater: Defense Secretary Robert Gates signed the deployment orders a day after President…
As the conflict in Afghanistan reaches nearly a decade, the results are becoming more horrendous as time progresses — six US GIs were killed Sunday and the entire operation appears on the point of break-down — the media pushes an end to the side and even a near-deathbed plea. The Taliban, in statement released Sunday:…
One of the most compelling, thought-provoking and candid assessments on the state of the planet came this week from a Native American educator, who bares the reality of both history and the terror of nowadays. A great blight on US peoples is the fuzzy, glossed-over and near-lies concerning this country’s history — the rape of…
In the beginning, Barack Obama carried a big bucket of change — change he claimed all of us could really, really believe in and live with as we moved onward into that most-wonderful future. My first dimming impression that this was all bullshit came via a personal metaphysical-political incident, or maybe an alarm faintly chiming…

There’s a joke I tell people sometimes about my cigarette-smoking habit: “Worse dumb-ass thing I’ve ever done — next to being married twice.” (Illustration found here). Afghanistan has never, ever been any kind of a joke, unless it’s one of those extreme-black swipes at humor. In a report from the BBC, the US Pentagon says…
US military commanders are apparently up to doing whatever it takes to further cloud an ugly, inevitable truth of a botched war and an even more botched war plan in rolling back history. From the Washington Post: The deployment of a company of M1 Abrams tanks, which will be fielded by the Marines in the…
The so-called war in Afghanistan will apparently never end. Just when one thinks there’s a light at the end of the IED-blasted tunnel, it turns out the flicker is just military commanders flicking their Bics. UK’s Defense Chief Gen. Sir David Richards stoked the never-ending war fires last week, invoking a conflict that could last “generations:”…
Osama bin Laden has to be way-laughing through his terror-obstructed ass. (Illustration found here). Air travel in the US can be a pain in the nut-sack. American traveler John Tyner unloaded a notorious phrase this past weekend when he was searched prior to boarding a plane in San Deigo, telling a TSA employee, “If you…
