Bush lost the battle AND the war. This man does not deserve the pity he is going to get. He deserves the place in history he earned.

In an article in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal, Siobhan Gorman speculates that President Obama’s advisers will urge him to stick with disastrous and counterproductive Bush administration policies such as widespread illegal surveillance and torture.

If you’ve been wondering, as I have, on what authority U.S. forces are conducting military operations in Pakistan and Syria. Well, we should not be surprised, there was a secret order allowing them to do so.

There is no Bushie more loyal than Barney. He’s been there at the President’s side for the whole eight years. According to Bob Woodward, in 2005 President Bush had key Republicans up to the White House to talk about the Iraq occupation, and said “I will not withdraw even if Laura and Barney [...]
