Unlike most of us, the staff of Wonkette finds listening to Jeff Sessions to be educational:
We’re trying to watch the War Czar’s confirmation hearing (since when do you confirm a czar?), but for the last fifteen or twenty minutes it’s been Hillary Clinton monologuing on Iraq, then saying “and I hope you’d agree, General.”
So what […]

Pouncing on his Face the Nation interview, Birmingham Weekly examines Jeff Sessions’ shifting position on Iraq.
I encourage you to read the entire piece, but here’s a snippet to whet your appetite:
Could it be that Sessions is losing his nerve? At one time he was perceived to be politically invulnerable in conservative Alabama, but if […]

Jeff Sessions appeared on Face the Nation (video, transcript) this past Sunday morning, and performed an about-face on his recent Iraq rhetoric. Sessions signaled that he no longer supports a lasting occupation of Iraq and that he would likely support troop withdrawals beginning in September.
I find myself agreeing with Crooks and Liars on this one:
I […]

I’m not quite sure how I could have missed this over the weekend, but the Birmingham News had a piece examining the growing war-weariness here in Alabama. The story was based off of polling done by AEA’s highly reliable research outfit and signals that Jeff Sessions is in serious trouble.
Among many other interesting findings, […]

Bush and his loyalists, such as Jeff Sessions, oftentimes justify their failed Iraq policy by hiding behind the troops and commanders in the field. VoteVets.org demolishes the GOP defense in their latest series of ads:
VoteVets.org is today launching a three-ad series featuring three retired generals, two of whom were George Bush’s commanders on the ground. […]

When Sessions embarked on a recent “fact-finding” trip to Iraq, he did so wearing his administration-issue rose-colored glasses and nearly forty pounds worth of body armor. As such, little changed in his perception of our nation’s situation in Iraq and the Middle East.
However, for those of us who prefer a relatively unfiltered view, delegation leader […]

The Anniston Star this morning tears into George Bush and his Republican enablers for their blatant and continued mishandling of the Iraq war:
If there was ever a week for humility on the part of the Iraq War’s biggest boosters, this is it. Four years exactly has passed since President Bush had his “Mission Accomplished” moment […]

From the Florence Times Daily:
It would be disrespectful to (disengage) prematurely and in a spasmodic fashion not related to the situation on the ground and undermine everything they worked to achieve.
So we’re staying in Iraq because leaving would be disrespectful? I guess that’s sort of along the lines of why Jeff Sessions thinks we went […]

While reading the Montgomery Advertiser this morning, I suddenly realized that all this debate up in Washington about a troop withdrawal deadline is a moot point. Apparently, while Sessions was on his two-day fact finding trip to Iraq, he found the time to sort out all our foreign policy headaches in the Mid-East:
The congressmen told […]

Jeff Sessions will be returning from his trip to Iraq soon and I have pretty good idea of what we’ll hear from him when he gets back. It’ll be along the lines of how we should blindly support President Bush and his failed policies in Iraq. And oh yeah, Democrats debating and challenging the war […]
