  • Israel Bombs Gaza back to Stone Age: Razes only Power Plant & Plunges Strip into Darkness
    • Elizabeth Bishop 07/30/2014 at 10:39 am

      i am hoping for some blowback, am i missing something or how is it that the tired old trope that israel has right to defend itself is still viable? their response has always been disproportionate, i've been fuming about this for years. no one has the courage within the halls of authority to change this and my mind is blown by this. i am so angry at this ridiculous charade of national defense. are they not making a mockery of themselves (israel?)

  • What we Lost: Top Ten Ways the Iraq War Harmed the US
    • elizabeth 03/18/2013 at 11:35 am

      I literally cried when W was "elected", worse yet, I remember exactly where I was and the time of day when he sat on television and LIED to the American people about going to war. I looked at my husband and said he is lying, this is a lie. Maybe I can spot a liar and a cheat but why couldn't the media, the country? It was excruciating to listen to the incredible lies and destruction day after day, year after year of this b.s. I'm resentful that so many were complicit. What is driving this new found interest in the truth of the Iraq War? A report? Reports were given beforehand.

      Honest and sober points again today. These need to be repeated to fight against their irrational arguments to arm themselves in such an unhealthy way. Thank you for your blog, it is invaluable to be to read your assessment of the news. I appreciate your knowledge.

  • Ret'd. CIA Official Alleges Bush White House Used Agency to "Get" Cole

      Professor Cole,

      I have been a long time reader of your blog and looked to your analysis throughout the Bush Regime especially. I am glad they did not achieve their goal in trying to discredit you. They can never accomplish what you have. Cheaters always cheat. You have integrity and truth on your side, two things those in the Bush years did not have and never will have. Take pride in the fact that many people who you do not even know, support you.
      Thank you for all of your work. Interesting how this comes out just days after the anniversary of the release of the Pentagon Papers and the free viewing of Daniel Ellsbergs "Most Dangerous Man in America" was aired free online.
