Reaction: Another "Loose Change" 9/11 conspiracy video to be released

As if getting all their facts wrong three times wasn't enough, the dolts behind the "Loose Change" 9/11 conspiracy films are back at it again. Their fourth release of the film, titled "Loose Change: The Final Cut" will be released this year the weekend before September 11th. Let me just come out and say that I absolutely hate these guys because not only are they making up these wild conspiracies that aren't supported by any real facts, they're making money on it too. According to their blog, theaters are "clamoring for rights to show the film" and the whole world is excited about the release. Well personally since I've seen your entire film debunked a million times over, I'm not really interested in your wild conspiracies that just make it harder for the families of the victims to overcome the tragedy. The fact that you "filmmakers" are making money off of this is even worse than any of the politicians making money off of the Iraq War. Go peddle your conspiracies elsewhere because I'm not interested!

Reaction: No safe exit from Iraq?

CNN.com ran a report today that argued there is no safe, responsible exit from Iraq. I completely agree with them on that note. As a direct result of our disastrous efforts in Iraq, we've merely created a safe-haven for terrorist training camps and as the U.S. General points out a "power vacuum." However, these issues can be resolved even with a time line for troop withdrawal. As I mentioned in a previous post, I think withdrawal is a bad idea (for many of the reasons outlined in this article), but withdrawal does not prevent these problems from being solved. I'd love to see President Bush respond to an article like this and explain (truthfully) what kind of progress we're making on these fronts. These are going to be some of the serious issues the Iraqi people face when we finally do decide to leave, so it's important to get started on them now.
