  • Would you like some freedom fries with your crow, Mr. President?

    Six months after spitting in the face of the world, the Bush administration is crawling on its belly before the U.N. If the world doesn't rush to help it, the White House has only itself to blame.

  • The war according to David Hackworth

    The retired colonel calls Donald Rumsfeld an "asshole" whose bad planning mired U.S. troops in an ugly guerrilla conflict in Iraq. His sources? Defiant soldiers sending dispatches from the front.

  • Judgment day

    In morally evaluating the U.S. assault on Iraq, hawks and doves alike must consider not only the Iraqi girl torn apart by an errant shell fragment, but the grandmother greeting American soldiers with tears of joy.

  • Operation Inflate the Coalition

    During the last Gulf War, 32 nations sent troops. This time around, 3 nations did. So how is Donald Rumsfeld claiming Operation Iraqi Freedom is larger than the '91 coalition?

  • Worse than Enron, worse than WorldCom: The Pentagon

    Chaotic accounting systems have caused the military to lose track of more than a million chemical-protection suits -- and that's just the beginning. Why does the country continue to tolerate such disgraceful financial incompetence?
