EXCERPT
 

Neoconservatism As A Betrayal Of Jewish Values
Compounding the pathology of terrorism.

-- Dr. Paul Maltby

The Democrats won Congress and forced Rummy's resignation but according to Sy Hersh, nothing has changed.

....The Democratic victories this month led to a surge of calls for the Administration to begin direct talks with Iran, in part to get its help in settling the conflict in Iraq. British Prime Minister Tony Blair broke ranks with President Bush after the election and declared that Iran should be offered “a clear strategic choice” that could include a “new partnership” with the West. But many in the White House and the Pentagon insist that getting tough with Iran is the only way to salvage Iraq. “It’s a classic case of ‘failure forward,’” a Pentagon consultant said. “They believe that by tipping over Iran they would recover their losses in Iraq—like doubling your bet. It would be an attempt to revive the concept of spreading democracy in the Middle East by creating one new model state.”....

Steve Clemons lays out what has to be done in order to dismantle Cheney's power, which he thinks is crucial to getting the country back on track.

A few snippets:

In fact, Pelosi should not hold back. A public spotlight must be focused on those who took this nation in to the Iraq War -- and in particular, hearings along the lines of those that Harry Truman called in the Senate in 1940 to expose war profiteers should be quickly assembled and legal investigations of the structural corruption behind this war launched.

I have my doubts that Dems will win the Senate. They may -- but to be honest, winning the Senate will seriously harm the ability of Dems to win the White House in '08. But set that issue aside for the time being.

Found this at Kos; should be interesting.
