Iraq: It’s All George W. Bush’s Fault
(Note: This headline is only slightly factitious.) The problem with George W. Bush’s Middle East policy is that there’s no political gain there, no matter how great the price or resounding the achievement, that Obama can’t throw away through his … Continue reading
Another Ft. Hood Shooting
Another active shooter at Fort Hood. One confirmed dead. 14 reportedly injured. (Some reports have the shooter dead of self-inflicted wounds; let’s hope so.) Early reports of two shooters are most likely erroneous (as is fairly common in these situations). … Continue reading
