(Iraq President Jalal Talabani walks with his China President Hu Jintao) George W. Bush, Richard Cheney, and presidential hopeful John McCain (as well as his new internationally ignorant but charming vice presidential running mate) have been promulgating the need to stay in Iraq to protect American interests. Well. . .
What was that TV show where Geena Davis was an unlikely female VP is thrust into the presidency after the tough national hero president she served under passed away while in office? That’s right: Commander in Chief. Well, life may be following fiction (again) — without the passing away part. . .
Greetings friends. I have much to report and comment on regarding the spectacular Democratic National Convention in Denver. I couldn’t do the who’s doing what to whom style blogging in Denver; I may do that in Minneapolis/St. Paul — but was way overbooked in the mile high city.
Free video streaming by Ustream Watch with us live today from 9:00 am – 12:00 noon mountain time, which is 11:00 am – 2:00 pm EST. And I’m pleased to report that today is my 46th birthday.
Wednesday morning, August 27, between 11 am and 1:30 pm EST or 9 am and 11:30 am mountain time, I’ll be chairing a New America Foundation/Middle East Task Force event in Denver at the Colorado History Museum.
More soon. Off to meet some journalists interested in more on Joe Biden. I’m somewhat surprised that I’ve become a key source on Senator Biden given his long tenure in the Senate. He’s currently fourth in longevity in terms of years served in the US Senate but only 44th out of 100 in age.
Greetings folks. Apologies for the thin reporting. I have been deeply embedded in the heart and major arteries of the Democratic National Convention and have been run ragged.
Joe Biden‘s selection as Vice President doubles the chances that Senator Chuck Hagel will be selected as Barack Obama’s Secretary of State, which this writer considers positively. Joe Biden was a key partner with many NGOs and this blog in stopping John Bolton’s confirmation as US Ambassador to the United Nations.

I have already commented about AP Washington Bureau Chief Ron Fournier’s edgy attack on the Obama-Biden ticket. I’m not going to add more at this point from my end. But from others a lot is stirring.
