Far East Cynic

5 years and counting………….

Since Congress authorized the use of force in Iraq.  I’ve been trying hard to fix in my mind the recent controversies over remarks made by LT. Gen Ricardo Sanchez, as well as the testimony of Gen Petreaus last month .  I’ve been very confused about how to encapsulate where the Iraq

Boo hoo……….

Boo F**king hoo for Michelle Malkin. Seems she is all upset that the Atlanta Journal Constitution featured her in this cartoon.  She once again shows that she likes to dish it out, but she can’t take it when the slime sticks to her new (Fox news paid for) clothes. As a

Minister Mentor Putin?

I’m sure E @ L would agree: Putin positions himself as Russia’s Lee Kuan Yew-One hears much about the “death of democracy” in Russia these days, especially as current President Vladimir Putin muses openly about slipping into the office of prime minister to sidestep constitutional term limits. As a former
