Citizen Gore said in his speech yesterday that President Bush was wrong to press for a war in Iraq when the war on terrorism is left unfinished. Many people who support a war on Iraq, however, are convinced that toppling Saddam Hussein is part of that same war on terror. But even for those who […]
Down on my criticism of Eric Alterman, RLB (who left no e-mail, otherwise I would've responded in private) makes the following comment: Um, let's see . . . Alterman points out Bush's status as a minority president (indisputable) who won the EC without a clear vote count (would have been true of Gore also, but […]
Terrorists nuke D.C. President Gore vows: 'They will pay' SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- President Al Gore, speaking at a fund-raiser at the Commonwealth Club here, reacted angrily to news that terrorists detonated a small "briefcase nuke" in Washington, D.C., destroying the Capitol and the White House and leaving thousands dead. "I'm furious. Really, I am," […]
After the 2000 Florida election debacle there was a lot of carping from the left that Bush was "selected not elected." Well, it was hogwash then and it's hogwash now. The (Democrat-dominated) Florida Supreme Court went outside the law in search of a way to get Al Gore more votes. To quote now-appeals court nominee […]
The San Diego Union-Tribune's James Goldsborough penned an incoherent attack on the Bush Administration policy calling for regime change in Iraq. The causes of the Bush chagrin are clear, but first let's address their argument that "the goal is not arms inspections but Iraqi disarmament." That is exactly right, but for Bush to present arms […]
The San Diego Union-Tribune's James Goldsborough continues the bogus argument that one must have served in the military in order to support using the military to "kill people and break things." Bush, who knows so little about the world, is allowing people who have never fought and never served to define policy. A speech-writer dreamed […]
Sen. Tom Daschle (D-S.D.) has set the bar higher for military intervention in Iraq. Previously "His Obstructionist" demanded, rightly, that Bush needs to make the case to Congress. Now, Daschle wants more. Although Bush expressed the hope earlier this week of receiving a vote of support before Congress recesses in a few weeks, Daschle indicated […]
Make sure you use this quote, courtesy of "Best of the Web Today." Returning from a jaunt overseas, Feinstein revealed that she came across some anti-American sentiment: "As an American, I have always been proud," Feinstein said. "I have a (U.S. flag) pin. I was embarrassed to wear it." Dianne, the proper response is to […]
The Wall Street Journal's Kimberly Strassel demonstrates that the NAACP isn't the Democratic Party's only wholly-owned subsidiary.
The San Diego Union-Tribune's Lionel Van Deerlin takes up the cause of the doves with his position that you're not allowed to advocate a war unless you've been in combat. Still, I have to wonder about the raucous calls we hear for storming ramparts in far-off places. Might such clamor come with greater credibility -- […]
