War, Politics, and Life by Bruce Maulden
Happy Frankenstein Month! We here at Compatible Creatures adore creative ideas, especially those creative ideas engaging our most-disturbing interest as of late: The Catastrophic Legacy of Decider George. One of the most creative ideas to catch our eyes in recent memory was a piece by Los Angeles Times columnist Rosa Brooks, which appeared Thursday under…
Despite the talk about US troops leaving Iraq as soon as the disheveled country can defend itself, the real timeline is blowing in the wind, and it’s a long-range wind. Although Decider George’s so-called “surge” has seen some improvements, Iraq will most likely never be able to stand on it own two feet. The Iraqi…
As we scanned the online news sources this morning there was nothing at all about this in any of the US mainstream or alternate news operations: Hamas has blamed George Bush’s tour of the Middle East for Israel’s latest deadly incursion into the Gaza Strip that has left at least 16 Palestinians dead and at…
“It’s just this war and that lying sonofabitch Johnson. I would never hurt you. You know that.” Jenny’s activist ‘boyfriend’ in Forrest Gump Despite creating a living hell for the Iraqi people, Decider George wants the horror to continue.

However, hubris have been used a lot the last five or six years, mainly to describe on the horrifying achievements of Decider George and his bunch. Greek in orgin,…
Smoke and mirrors continue to embody the war in Iraq. Even as New Hampshire residents go to the polls today for the first primary of the 2008 presidential race, the slaughter in the Mid East continues as the pundits, talking heads and the mainstream media (now affectionately/sarcastically dubbed the ‘MSM’ by those in the know)…
As the new year gains momentum, nothing seems to have changed — yet. The results off the “surge” has painted a heart-warming and optimistic picture of the hell that’s Iraq. The real weak-link of the so-called surge is the alliance between former Sunni insurgents now bearing arms for US dollars to fight Al-Qaeda in Iraq…
An inescapable horror: BAQUBA, Iraq (AFP) – Three Iraqi civilians were killed by US military fire in two incidents on Thursday in the province of Diyala, one of the most dangerous regions in the country, Iraqi security officials said. Two people died in the town of Al-Ghalibiyah, just west of the provincial capital Baquba, when…
“One can only wonder, now that the United States has ‘liberated’ Iraq from Saddam Hussein, just who will liberate Iraq from the United States.” — Raed Jarrar, Iraq consultant at the Public Policy Office of the American Friends Service Committee in Washington, an independent peace group. Jarrar also told Inter Press Service (IPS) the contract…
