The Truth About the Surge

The truth behind the surge strategy in Iraq. Why it appears to be working now and why that peace is fragile. From TheRealNews.com.

Why the US Sees Iran as a Threat

Real and plausible strategic reasons the Bush administration keeps up the drumbeat for conflict with Iran. As opposed to the neo-con, chickenhawk, politics of fear reasons put forth for the benefit of American public. Not terrorism or WMD. In this video Aijaz Ahmad explores the geopolitical and global economic reasons the US views Iran as a threat. In particular the relationship between dollars and oil and how Iran threatens that relationship.

The video below was posted as a video response to the one above on Youtube and tells us why we should be concerned that military action against Iran may be imminent. Some very good analysis of the situation in Iraq as well.

Who's That Terrorist?

Well, well, well, looks to me like we already got us one of them terrorists in the White House. She's wearing shades, but she can't fool us, the sophisticated American electorate. If it looks like a terrorist, it's a terrorist. End of story. This image comes from Pissed on Politics, more incriminating photos there. I found it by way of Crooks and Liars. Please make sure all your friends see this photo and know that terrorists have already infiltrated the highest office in the land.

There's also this suggestion from one of Andrew Sullivan's readers, that all Obama supporters adopt the middle name "Hussein" to take the sting out of it.

-A Revolution of "Hussein" One. (Kinda long huh?)
Fight the powers.
