Good stuff from Joseph L. Galloway today:
The word on the street, or in the Pentagon rings, is that [Bush will] choose to beef up American forces on the ground in Iraq by 20,000 to 30,000 troops by various sleight-of-hand maneuvers - extending the combat tours of soldiers and Marines who are nearing an end to [...]
Let’s get one thing straight: President George W Bush will not pull American forces out of Iraq. It doesn’t matter what the Iraq Study Group, or the Democrats, or the talking heads on TV, or the editorial pages of major newspapers or anyone else says. Or what the American people want.

I just finished watching this video on Crooks and Liars of Paul Krugman’s appearance on the Fox News show, Your World with Neil Cavuto. During the segment, Krugman discusses his article in Rolling Stone titled “The Great Wealth Transfer.”
I haven’t read the article yet, but I will. I am, however, quite familiar with Krugman’s writings [...]
