Hillary Clinton - Just the facts please
by Jacki on 4/27/2007 11:33:58 AM
Overall last night Sen. Clinton was stronger than expected, but then again it's easy to shine in a debate when you gloss over the truth and frame the facts to fit the political climate. For instance, Hillary made these statements concerning her initial approval of the war and her later change of h... Continue »
Barack's Message to Democrats
by Jacki on 2/12/2007 10:49:12 AM
This is an excerpt from Barack Obama's speech before his fellow candidates at the DNC meeting days before he officially announced his candidacy: [O]ur rivals are not one another, not even the other party; it’s going to be cynicism. Too often this cynicism makes us afraid to say what we belie... Continue »
The situation is bleak

What's most disconcerting about the pattern of violence in Iraq is that it is constant. The troop levels we had in 2005 produced the same level of violence that we see now. If we examine the U.S. strategy from a historical perspective we see that 20,000 more troops is not going to quell the violen... Continue »
The U.S. will not win the war in Iraq
by Jacki on 1/10/2007 8:35:31 PM
When the President announces his proposal to send 20,000 more troops to Iraq, viewers should remember that currently we have roughly 132,000 troops in Iraq, 28,000 less than the 160,000 troops in 2005. This new "surge" in troops merely brings us back to pretty much the same troop levels we had in 2... Continue »

Christianity, Gays and Capital Punishment

I'm the type of person that gets pretty worked up about the state of affairs in the world these days. Global warming, AIDS, poverty, discrimination, war, all of these issues concern me on a day to day basis. I tend to believe that each one of us has an obligation to try to make the world a safer, ...

I've had some of my favorite WIS blogger quotes from the past year stashed away in my "notes" section for quite a while now. I thought today provided a suitable opportunity to publish them. I'll let you comment on who you think is the author of each quote ... and you better not cheat by searching ... Continue »
Where does the Army stand on a surge in troops?
by Jacki on 12/28/2006 10:04:32 PM
It seems that at least some of the soldiers on the ground in Iraq do not support a surge in U.S. military troops. Continue »

Borat: Not so funny for some
by Jacki on 11/28/2006 5:57:39 PM
You may remember my high praise for this film. I had not realized until today that the people in Romania, who Cohen portrayed as Kazakhstani villagers, had been duped. Never even suspected it. I have no sympathy for the person that willingly gets drunk and volunteers that he thinks slavery was a ... Continue »

Once again John Bolton's fate is in the air. Shortly after the White House sent Bolton's nomination back to the Senate, Lincoln Chafee said he won't back Bolton's confirmation and Democrats are sure to block a vote on the President's controversial nominee now anyway. Short of a miracle, it looks l... Continue »
