Restrain this

I always said England's support during the recent wars was an example of a restraining alliance.

"Christopher Meyer said that fear explained why Prime Minister Tony Blair chose to stand with US President George W. Bush in his decision to invade Afghanistan in the immediate aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks -- to temper his aggressive battle plans."

Fog of War Report

The Fog of War report is due on June 28th. It should be between 5-7 pages. There is no length requirement but you obviously need a certain amount of space to complete the assignment.

Assignment:
Propose a documentary movie based on an interview with one person or a group of people. Outline who you are choosing and why. Then explain how you would conduct a critical oral history interview of the subject(s). What lessons from the Fog of War book would be useful in examining this case? Why? What new lessons might be learned? How did the Fog of War influence your choice of subject and goals? (Do not pick a President or similar leader of a state. Stay away from any event since 9/11.)

I really hope this is a joke

Gay bomb...yes, really

"As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."

Someone got fired

Change in Iraq policy? Didn't the media think to notice this?

"The man chosen by President Bush to become his new "war czar" told Congress on Thursday that national security advisor Stephen Hadley would no longer be responsible for Iraq policy, indicating the administration has quietly engineered a significant change in foreign policy leadership that could directly affect U.S. war strategy."

Lets Split Up Families

I am a little upset that conservatives always seem to go back and forth on their principles when it involves Latinos. Lately they have been against family provisions typically involved in Visa applications. The whole point was to keep families together. I though the traditional family unit was important for conservatives. I guess that only applies to people who are not Brown.

"He also said he will walk away if Menendez and Sen. Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) win passage of an amendment that would more than double the number of green cards available under the bill for the parents of U.S. citizens. Kyl said conservatives believe today's family unification system is being misused by illegal immigrants, whose U.S.-born children are citizens."

Should I even remind everyone that 'amnesty' was originally signed into law and supported by the great Republican icon Ronald Regan?
