However, Gates did say that if the bombings are any indication of future conditions, the situation…
As the worldwide price of oil subtly neared $90 a barrel and two US wars in the Middle East are quickly, horrifically going-to-shit in slow motion, Decider George obtained a good laugh yesterday at a press conference arrogantly avoiding a question on how he was going to rein in Blackwater, his Christian mercenary army.

Just when one thinks all the worst aspects of the US military system has been revealed, here comes another.

It’s a quagmire if you go that far and try to…
 “I hate it when they say, ‘He gave his life for his country.’ Nobody gives their life for anything. We steal the lives of these kids. We take it away from them. They don’t die for the honor and glory of their country. We kill them.” Admiral Gene LaRocque Dog-tired days of summer: Five…
