The media obsession over who's in and who's out of consideration for the Obama Cabinet brings the admonition on the famous "War Room" wall of Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign to mind: "It's the...

Recently, Al From, founder of the Democratic Leadership Council, used a front page New York Times story to warn Senator Obama and other Democratic leaders that, "the antiwar people cannot define the Democratic Party."

Al From is wrong, again.

For years, the Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) has been...

Yesterday, I sat down with Brigadier General John Johns (ret.) to discuss whether or not the United States should engage nations like Iran diplomatically or whether, as Bush and McCain have asserted, that's tantamount to appeasement. In analyzing McCain's recent criticism of Senator Obama's willingness to engage Iran diplomatically, General...

This morning, six Democratic superdelegates -- supporters of Clinton, Obama, or undecided -- joined me on a conference call with the national press corps to announce a united campaign to end the war in Iraq. While the superdelegates disagree on who should be Commander-in-Chief, they all agree that the Democratic...

Tom Andrews, former Member of Congress and National Director of Win Without War, discusses the coming Congressional vote on funding for the war in Iraq - possibly even more than President Bush has requested.

Dear Members of the House Armed Services Committee,

As a former member of your Committee, I urge you to pursue some of the troubling questions that were left unanswered by General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker during today's hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.

The most serious is whether...

Today's killing of the 4,000 American soldier in Iraq was the latest grim marker in the Bush administration's disastrous war and occupation in Iraq, coming just days after the tragic passing of the fifth anniversary of the American invasion.

Both occurred as the hollow claims by the Bush administration...

In a presidential debate in 1980, President Ronald Reagan asked American voters: "Are you better off than you were four years ago?" On the fifth anniversary of the US military invasion of Iraq - or, as President Bush and Senator McCain describe it, "the central front in the war on...

If you think the most pressing question facing the country is what uniform Roger Clemens will wear in the Hall of Fame, you would love today's action on Capitol Hill. That was among the questions the Major League Baseball pitcher faced today before a House Oversight Committee carried live on...

A foolish headline in today's Politico suggests that the anti-Iraq War movement is planning a retreat. Nothing could be further from the truth. I'm the national director of one of the largest anti-war coalitions in the country, Win Without War, and I can tell you we're not retreating one...

It is now official: House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer assured President Bush and his congressional allies that there is no fight left in the Democratic Caucus on the war in Iraq. The Congress that was elected in 2006 to stand up to President Bush and his failed military occupation of...

George (Orwell) Bush was at his double-speak worst at the White House yesterday following the revelation that his accusations about an Iranian nuclear weapons program turn out to be as accurate as his accusations about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction.

What was the lesson the president drew from the new...

Ok, so we are making progress. We didn't learn that the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq was completely wrong until after we had invaded the country in the worst foreign policy debacle in American history. Now we learn from the just released National Intelligence Estimate -- "Iran: Nuclear Intentions and...

Worried? You Should be.

Should we be worried that Congress has done nothing to stop a pre-emptive U.S. military strike on Iran? Why is the only Iran related measure able to gain passage in either chamber a declaration that part of the Iranian government is a terrorist organization - a...

Today the House of Representatives continues debate on a non-binding resolution that expresses support for the troops and opposition to the President's escalation of the war in Iraq. Members will cast their votes on Friday after three days of debate when every member of the House will have had five...

Last Thursday's Washington Post features a front-page story handicapping the chances of Democrats to retake control of the U.S. House of Representatives in November. In fact, Democrats don't have to wait. It can be done NOW. Control of the House can be wrestled from Republican leadership with a healthy...

President Bush's so-called “National Strategy for Victory in Iraq” amounts to the Cliff Notes version of a failed policy and baseless claims.

THE U.S. OCCUPATION CONTINUES TO FUEL THE IRAQI INSURGENCY.

The president sought relief from a growing anti-war movement and an increasingly skeptical public at the U.S. Naval Academy...
