Historian Presents the Statistics of War
I bumbled by that smoking, manure-laden vehicle that didn’t explode in New York City last week and felt foolish I wasn’t the one who detected it and that I should have since I’ve spent my career analyzing wars but concede I’m only a historian, hiding in academia, who would’ve cringed at the sound of real […]

Taliban Leader Thanks President Bush and the Congress
Dear President Bush and the Congress of the United States, We are writing to you, the once omnipotent leaders of the United States, to thank you for making possible the restructuring, growth, and fatal effectiveness of the Taliban. Following the Al-Qaeda led and Taliban-abetted assault on your country seven years ago, you counterattacked Afghanistan with […]

President Bush Delighted after Five Years in Iraq
On this day five years ago I launched Operation Iraqi Freedom, a farsighted and generous commitment I knew would lead not merely to the liberation of Iraqis but oppressed people everywhere on earth. I can now state – as I incessantly have – what no one can creditably deny: we’re winning in Iraq. We’ve been […]

Grand Speeches
I just slapped on my morning lather and slid a sharp new blade into the razor and, admiring my smug mug, am thinking about my recent speeches of such strategic importance. I love what my speechwriters give me because they’ve written the feelings and visions of the world’s most important man and a guy who […]

Straight Talk from Condoleezza Rice
Let me explain: counter-terrorism adviser Richard Clarke had many opportunities to tell us about his concerns during 2001, and he failed to do so.

Dick Cheney Intensifies Attacks on Lamont and other Enemies
Many cowardly liberal isolationists are demanding I apologize for accusing Ned Lamont of helping “Al Qaeda types” realize their “bet they can ultimately break the will of the American people” and ruin our ability to “stay in the fight and complete the task.” I shan’t take that back nor my trenchant comment that the Democratic […]

Fortress America and “The Long War”
We must all be thankful I am President of the United States. If a Democrat or lesser Republican were in office, we wouldn’t be so secure despite now facing threats more dangerous to this country than Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan combined. Be assured. I am preparing us very well for The Long War. We’re […]

Osama bin Laden Speaks to America
I have just amended my speech, and will at times speak to you spontaneously and from the heart. I must do so now for I do not have long. Examine my face, once described by women of the Middle East as handsome or cool, and you will see that I am not a healthy man. […]

President Bush Warns of More Destruction
Last week, stern and righteous, I looked into the teleprompter and pronounced: “Tonight I want to discuss a grave threat to peace; the threat comes from Iraq. It arises from the Iraqi drive toward an arsenal of terror. We’re concerned about the link between Iraq developing weapons of terror, and the wider war on terror. […]
