When Iraq (Saddam Hussein) only threatened to do what Iran has just done, Bush invaded. Draw your own conclusion. (Mike)

Divided Iraq is united against dividing Iraq (Mike)

I'm looking forward to this movie release (Mike)

It's six years later and there's still no official explanation of the collapse of WTC-7. I'll stick with the most reasonable theory that I can find for now.... (Mike)

Shifting Targets: Seymour M. Hersh discusses an increasingly inevitable Cheney-orchestrated attack on Iran. Also, see Hunter's snarky response to Hersh (Mike)

The working hypothesis of the NIST regarding the collapse of WTC 7 looks like it will bear fruit to me. The construction of WTC 7 was anything but typical steel frame construction as it was built over-top of an existing Con Edison substation. There were elements of the structure that were suseptible to failure given enough debris damage and fire weakening. Failures that could result in global progressive collapse.

I'm sure the final report by NIST should it maintain this hypothesis will be dismissed by many but keep an open mind til then.

Okay, as long as any derivation of the final report is devoid of political influence.
