Retired Gen. Anthony Zinni is one of a handful of former generals who are demanding that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld resign for stuff that happened three years ago. Unfortunately, Zinni apparently doesn't follow the lead of former Gen. George Washington. Zinni can tell a lie, or, if not a lie, he can conveniently forget things. […]
If you haven't read this already, then you should -- a U.S. soldier set's Rep. John Murtha and his supporters straight in The Washington Post.
Monday's New York Times once again finds a way to spin military numbers in a less-than-honest way to make the situation in Iraq appear worse than it is. Last year, when various military branches were failing to make their (increased) recruiting targets, it was front page material. A few months later, when recruiting goals were […]
When it comes to thoughtful, intelligent political analysis, San Francisco Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval isn't the man to provide it. We last saw Sandoval in February when he was advocating the complete disarmament of America's military -- except the Coast Guard -- and assured us that we could be protected by cops. He returned to last […]
News today that you should take President Bush's look into the soul of Russian President Vladimir Putin and that whole "trust" thing with a heaping dose of skepticism.

The anti-Semitic nitwit got arrested once more to make a silly, empty point. Women Say No to War, which helped organize the news conference and march, said Sheehan and three other women were […]
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously today that if law schools want to continue cashing checks from the federal government, then they have to treat military recruiters the same as they do other businesses. As I noted at the time, it never really looked like the law schools were going to win this one. I was […]
Well, it looks like the Progress for America Voter Fund has gotten the Minnesota Democratic Party in full outrage mode. The conservative advocacy group is running a series of support-the-troops/support-the-Iraq-war spots that have the Dems questioning their own patriotism. The Minneapolis Star Tribune has more tonight. They report on KSTP television's refusal to run the […]
San Francisco Supervisor Gerardo Sandoval, a Democrat, was on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes" last night to talk about his opposition to having the USS Iowa turned into a museum on the San Francisco bayfront. Of course, it didn't take long for Sandoval to show how completely insane he is -- he wants the U.S. […]
