Is the Union-Tribune's James O. Goldsborough. Jim's a smart enough guy, who sometimes just likes to be a pain in the butt. In Goldsborough's latest column, he takes up what is perhaps the lamest, most inane and ludicrous of the extreme anti-war left's claims -- that the war on Iraq is a modern-day crusade. George […]
Just watched actress Janeane Garafalo on "Fox News Sunday." She's definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. Unfortunately, Fox News anchor Tony Snow let Garafalo get away with the claim that the U.S. was responsible for "6,000 to 7,000" civilian casualties during the war on Afghanistan. Even Professor Marc Herold, whose counting method has […]
The Jerusalem Post has a first-person article [free registration required] by Iraqi dissident Amir Taheri about his experiences at last week's "spontaneous" anti-war protest in London. We managed to reach some of the stars of the show, including Reverend Jesse Jackson, the self-styled champion of American civil rights. One of our group, Salima Kazim, an […]
If you've got a broadband connection to the Internet, these interviews of some anti-war protesters are very enlightening.
The latest on the Marc Rich pardon scandal. Yes, I know it's two years old, but in a recent interview with NBC's Katie Couric, former President Bill Clinton has the cajones to try the "big lie." Couric: In this month's edition of The Atlantic Monthly, James Fallows writes, "Clinton had the worst beginning of an […]
Some senile senior Democrats are accusing the Central Intellegence Agency of sabotaging the inspections and hiding weapons details with regard to Iraq. Excuse me, but according to U.N. Security Council Resolution 1441, Saddam Hussein is supposed to reveal all of this stuff to the U.N. -- there is nowhere in 1441 a requirement that the […]
That is, unless you're a New York Times columnist who apparently awakened from a long sleep during the Clinton administration. Nicholas Kristof, fresh off the turnip truck, suggests that the Bush administration's warning to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein that any use of weapons of mass destruction (biological, chemical or even nuclear), would open him up […]
Levin made an interesting claim on Fox News Sunday -- he told Brit Hume that then head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Colin Powell had privately urged Levin and other senators to oppose the Gulf War resolution and give inspections more time to work. (I had an earlier post on Levin's performance here.) Well, […]
Sen. Carl Levin was on Fox News Sunday earlier today, and I'm watching the recording of it. Let me say that I think Sen. Levin is a very limber man. The mental contortions that he's having to go through to oppose military action in Iraq while acknowledging that government's violation of U.N. Security Council Resolution […]
A good friend of mine who is an Air Force F-16 pilot stationed in Korea sent me this, and it's a good set of talking points on so much of the anti-American blather that you hear from some of the less-enlightened people on the left. The following is reportedly (I couldn't verify it online, but […]
