Tomgram: Engelhardt, General Petraeus's Two Campaigns
In my 1950s childhood, there was a cheesy (if thrilling) sci-fi flick, The Incredible Shrinking Man, about a fellow who passed through a radioactive cloud in the Pacific Ocean and soon noticed that his suits were too big for him. Next thing you knew, he was living in a doll house, holding off his pet cat, and fighting an ordinary spider transformed into a monster. Finally, he disappeared entirely leaving behind only a sonorous voice to tell us that he had entered a universe where "the unbeliev...
Fox News Rejects Ad On Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal (VIDEO)
WASHINGTON -- Fox News has rejected an advocacy group's ad on repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT), in which generals from around the world say that allowing Gay men and women to serve openly is no Big Deal.

Tanks, But No Tanks - By Maj. Michael Waltz
"You ask us to stand up to the Talibs while you hide in your tanks from their bombs," one elderly Afghan man said incredulously as dozens of other wizened elders from the powerful Afghan Mangal tribe nodded in agreement. The group was sitting in a semicircle on an oversized rug in front of several bowls of dates and nuts in a concrete community building that doubled as a school, police station, and meeting hall. Most of the men had a mixture of shotguns, old British Enfield rifles, o...

Stumble This! Fox News has declined to air an ad advocating for Repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy that bans gays from serving openly in the Military, a source at the Public Policy Think Tank Palm Center informs Raw Story.

A small number of UK personnel will remain in Iraq to help train its army officers as part of a Nato mission. Most Britis...

The Pentagon said progress had been ‘uneven’, with only mo...
Why it’s tough for Michael Ignatieff to straddle the centre
Last updated Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2010 12:55PM EST Keeping in tune with a party’s supporters can be a difficult balancing act, particularly when a leader tries to position him or herself at the centre of the Canadian political spectrum. No one knows this better than Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, as indicated by a recent Harris-Decima poll. Are federal leaders in tune with their parties?
