Muqtada al-Sadr is threatening full-scale war with the US in Iraq. 
Listen up White House: do you plan on doing anything about this guy and his army? We tried fighting him (via the “Iraqi National Army”) in Basra and lost. Maybe it’s time for a different approach? A little “thinking outside of the box”? A little nuance.
Calling Tehran to the table to negotiate a peace, a truce, an anything! (You know it’s bad when you need Iranian mullahs to wax diplomatic on your behalf.)
Like it or not, al-Sadr cannot be ignored. He is and will remain a permanent fixture of Iraqi life. And we can’t go in there and simply “obliterate” him in some Sadr City bloodbath - that will only make things worse.
Where is the State Department?! Where is the Pentagon?! Where is the White House?!?!?
Message to Bush: Start doing your (insert expletive) job!!!
The US is saying that we should expect things to get more violent in Afghanistan this year. Yet another failure of the Bush Administration.
Columnist Anatoly, you get it all wrong.
Race is an issue, but it is not the issue. And if anything, the fact that McCain is an old-rich-white-guy is going to hurt his chances at getting elected more than Obama’s blackness.
Obama has stepped up onto a platform that was born into the public’s conscience when Will Smith started headlining movies. A platform that was conceived during Martin Luther King Jr.’s speeches. We have a long history of African-American men and women leading us and teaching us and showing us how to manifest the true American spirit. A history that spans our entire 231 years.
America is ready for a black president.
On “Larry King” last night, Jenna Bush said that she is open to all of the candidates. This is a good omen for the Democrats.
