...ignorant talk of foolish men.' A biblical passage adorning a PENTAGON REPORT on Saddam Hussein during the early phases of the war in Iraq in 2003, according to GQ writer Robert Draper, who claims Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld regularly included Scripture in reports submitted to President George W. Bush...
That was the bet President George W. Bush placed during his final months in office, when the CIA greatly increased drone sorties and strikes in Pakistan. The accelerated attacks have been stepped up under President Barack Obama.

Obama announced tough new national standards for automobile emissions and fuel efficiency that essentially settled a long-running battle between environmentalists and the car industry in favor of the greens.

"In the past, an agreement such...
...voters but neglects to address the fact that, save Barack Obama, the Democrats are not in any better shape [May 18]. Remove the highly popular President from the Democratic equation, and that party, as evidenced by the previous Congress's approval ratings, is even less popular than George W. Bush. For all the cataclysmic talk about the GOP, the Democrats are one person away from being in the same boat. Constantinos Scaros, CLIFFSIDE PARK...
