Doomed Pudding of the Day

SEPTEMBER 14, 2007
The Country Formerly Known as Iraq

Amidst the avalanche of lies in Bush’s crank call last night was a golden nugget of honesty: this is an act of Imperialism; that the US would maintain a military involvement in Iraq for as far as the eye can see.  This is the exact kind of presence that kicked off al-Qaeda in the first place  . . . and what today keeps it strong and growing.
