As we watch the Democrats failing to match the Republican’s strategies in reaching and influencing the American people, the word to them must be: “it’s the Bully Pulpit, stupid!”

The pandora’s box of war

None of the insurgents in the region will willingly lay down their weapons until the U.S. occupation of the Middle East ends.
