Guess who?
Just as with the Vietnam War, the Iraq War was based on lies. We were never threatened by Weapons of Mass Destruction or al Qaeda in Iraq, though the attack on Iraq was based on this false information. Any information which challenges the official Propaganda for the war in the Middle East is unwelcome by the administration and the supporters of these unnecessary wars. Few are interested in understanding the relationship of our Foreign Policy and our presence in the Middle East to the threat of t...

The Blaze has a great video of Condoleeza Rice giving a smackdown to Katie Couric, which makes “the perky one” look the fool. Dr. Rice is rockstar awesome in this, and at one point in it Couric just starts making animal noises  because she doesn’t know what to say.  ”We can edit this out, right?”, she whispers off camera. The video won’t embed here, but you can watch it above. When I saw it, the first thing I thought of was this mashup of Cybil Sheph...
