Times Of London
Last week the Democratic Party resumed its reign in a famous victory over the accursed conservatives, thanks in large part to popular anger at an apparently endless string of Republican corruption scandals.Baker in this opinion, gives an awakening account of the new Democratic Leadership in Washington, notably House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's questionable decision making skills in attempting to appoint some less than blemish free individuals to certain posts; and the apparent ask for help from his father on the part of young Georgy.
I especially like that Baker covers the part about how the former Bush convinced Shia at the end of Desert Storm to rise up against Hussein's regime, and then quickly ditched them as they were being massacred by Apaches that we provided to the other team.
Overall, a very powerful article.
