War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
As the UK prepares to remove its Iraqi operations out in a couple of months — in a “humiliating” withdrawal — Decider George’s last visit to that ruined country this past weekend windows the disaster this past near-eight years has been. From a UK (Scottish) commentary: We can ask, nevertheless. What has it all been…
Even as the Pentagon is engaged in two badly-run wars — Iraq and Afghanistan — and militarily involved all kinds of wars in all kinds of superfluous ways, the chief weapons merchant for the world in all these engagements is the one supposedly spreading democracy — the US. Arming the planet keeps a certain part…
(Illustration — ‘Baghdad Sunset‘ — can be found here). Wikipedia has a good-as-any overall summation of the Iraqi war and can be found here, but there’s a shitload of other case studies of Decider George’s horror tale, just Google ‘Iraq War’ then sit back. In the last few months, however, the story has narrowed down…
Everything!! (Illustration found here). Just when you figured Decider George’s blundering for near-eight years was all in the big stuff — Iraq, Katrina, the economy — think once, and maybe even think twice more. According to Raw Story this morning, the Center for Public Integrity (CPI), a non-profit investigative journalism group which recently “set out…
Decider George went around blubbering last week about how the CIA screwed way-up over Iraqi WMD: Sorry about that, “just wish the intelligence had been different, I guess.” The intel was different, asshole. It just wasn’t war material. Based upon curveball information, goaded by an Iraqi expatriate and doing as the Brits reported: “…the intelligence…

In a metaphor mix, Afghanistan’s capital appears encircled in a hangman’s noose as Taliban forces expands its footprint across the country. In a report issued Monday by a France-based think tank: The group said Taliban fighters have advanced out of southern Afghanistan, a region where they often hold de facto governing power, and carry out…
In the last few years there’s been a lot comparisons between the current Iraqi adventure and the Vietnam war, two towering blunders in US foreign policy, not to mention the immeasurable loss of life and the cataclysm in the social conscience of a nation. Iraq is not Vietnam — or is it? (Illustration found here).…
Decider George is like a rotten, aching and throbbing tooth, one of the them backside, big-old molars, one that can’t be worked on or even pulled, sitting there in the headcase, making life even more miserable with each countdown-passing second. Yesterday, the outgoing commander-in-chief told a crowd of people most-likely destined again for the Islamic…
Delusion is the child of ‘What, Me Worry?’ Especially if one doesn’t like homework and just goes with a gut instinct. In a pre-recorded interview broadcast Sunday on a Japanese television network, Decider George blubbered through his lying, delusional teeth he was very pleased with how the Iraqi war has been handled and how wonderful…
