| MSNBC host Chris Matthews scoffed at a guest on Tuesday who suggested that conservatives were beginning to come around to the notion that President George W. Bush “mismanaged” the war in Iraq. Matthews fumed at the suggestion that the war was just poorly managed. He said that if former Vice President Dick Cheney was subjected to waterboarding, he would confess that even Bush administration officials knew they were justifying that war based on a false pretense. In an interview about the legacy of the Bush presidency for the Republican Party, Bush’s Brain author Wayne Slater told Matthews

Sometimes, in weak moments, I find myself hoping that the S does indeed HTF. Waterboarding will be the least of the Chris Matthews-types´ concerns, if we bother with them at all.

I refuse to lower myself to watch anything MSNBC has to offer. Why anyone who identifies with the Republican Party or Conservatism would go on these shows to be ridiculed and insulted is beyond me. Left to their own fellow leftists for guests, no one could stand to tune in. Left-wing talk radio proved that.

For one who long ago guest hosted the Rush Limbaugh Show--quite capably, IIRC--and had a private audience with Pope John Paul II, Chris Matthews, by turning his political ideology into a substitute for his Catholicism and various extremely liberal political figures into secular christs, has at last transformed himself into a raging lunatic. He has, quite literally, been consumed by evil and by death. This is so sad, and should be a cautionary tale not to place too much faith in any political ideology, whether left or right. That way lies madness. Look at what´s already happened to Al Gore.
And look at what´s happening to Obama. Some political characters who are getting too big for their britches are setting themselves up for truly epic falls, politically, psychologically, and ultimately spiritually.

The reason for the war was top take Iraq and Hussein out of the mix so Afghanistan could be successful and bin Laden could be caught. Doesn´t take a rocket scientist but then you have to be able to look in a few directions and not just stare straight ahead to where the pop culture media is focusing you with their sleight of hands or is that obMao´s sleights of had?

Bush had a ot of old,stale,outdated info on Iraq. As far as how close they were to serious weaponry ,to the make up of the clans of people. Bush had the impression that people in Iraq were good people being brutalized by Saddam.When we invaded and toppled Saddam we weren´t greeted or hailed as liberators but occupiers.This set the tone for the war going downhill. The point is no matter how much these people hated Saddam,they didn´t want Americans sticking their nose in their business.
There´s other things that misled Bush,like the generals there being in the bag by the CIA,setting up a smooth transition of power. These generals just melded into the countryside,laying low.Part of the plan was taking Saddam out with a missile the first couple days,when they missed him people were too scared to cooperate with us. This bought time for AlSadr to build up an opposition force,helped by Iran.
Then you had the Paul Bremmer fiasco running the country when it should have been ran by a military governor like Tommy Franks.
Matthews comments showed what shallow thinkers the left are and how they love to wallow in their own myths and lies.
If you want to say Bush made some strategic mistakes along the way,that´s one thing.To say it was for oil or Halliburton is asinine.

Actually, the most basic underlying reason we went after Saddam Hussein is that in 1998, BILL CLINTON made it official American policy to remove Saddam Hussein.
Y´all remember the disgraced, impeached, disbarred POS that occupied the People´s house throughout the 90´s, getting BJ´s while on the phone with foreign leaders? And selling access to the Red Chinese to our Nuclear research facilities???

Another Republican Super PAC is jumping into the increasingly nasty Massachusetts Senate battle, going after Democrat Ed Markey’s biggest weakness — his $1.3 million Maryland home. The America Rising PAC, recently founded by Mitt Romney’s former presidential campaign manager, is planning to deliver a letter today to Maryland’s comptroller urging the state to investigate why Markey has never paid state income taxes there despite living in the upscale Chevy Chase suburb for two decades, the Herald has learned. Markey’s residency status has been dogging him throughout his career, ever since the Herald reported in the early 1990s

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Wednesday said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was “starting to get nervous” about passing immigration reform, suggesting that opponents of the bill were gaining momentum. "I certainly wouldn´t presume to speak for Harry Reid, but I think he´s starting to get nervous," Cruz said in an interview with conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh.The Senate this week is debating the Gang of Eight’s bipartisan immigration reform proposal. Reid (D-Nev.) is hoping to pass the measure before the July recess. Cruz suggested that Reid hoped to move the bill quickly to avoid scrutiny

Los Angeles County coroner´s officials said Wednesday the body recovered from a fiery, single-car crash in Hollywood that apparently killed journalist Michael Hastings will likely undergo an autopsy Thursday. But an official cause of death and closure of the case is not likely for four to six weeks or perhaps longer, they said. Coroner´s officials are hoping the results will answer why the accident happened. Officials were attempting to match dental records to help make a positive identification. The death of the 33-year-old Hastings was announced Tuesday by his employer, BuzzFeed,

Meet the Women for Weiner. The former congressman, who apologized for the lewd picture scandal that ended his House career before launching a bid last month for New York City mayor, is holding a fundraiser hosted by “Women for Anthony” next week at the Manhattan home of an education activist and philanthropist. The host committee is led by his wife, Huma Abedin, and includes her sister, Heba; Rory Tahari, wife of designer Elie Tahari; and Cheryl Saban, the wife of California-based mega-donor Haim Saban, who funded a short film lauding Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
