This is a more appropriate subject for a book-length treatment, and maybe one day I'll get to the point where I've done enough research and devoted enough thought to the issue I'll write about it more in-depth. For now, in the waning days before Tuesday's election, this article will have to do. Let me start […]
I posted earlier today on Sen. Joe Biden's comments that Barack Obama would face a manufactured crisis and screw it up. NBC and MSNBC have decided to report on the incident -- and they're using a completely different statement by Biden. They're juxtaposing a line Biden said at some other time about Obama having "steel […]
Sen. Joe "Six term" Biden was talking at a fund-raising event in Seattle last weekend when the evil Karl Rove used his powerful mind control ray to get Biden to predict doom and gloom -- if he and Barack Obama are elected. "Mark my words," the Democratic vice presidential nominee warned at the second of […]
This isn't about the Olympics. This is about what to do about Russia's invasion of Georgia and its attempt to overthrow its democratically-elected government. Direct military action is something we should avoid, but the Washington Post's Charles Krauthammer has some substantive actions we can take that can hurt the expansionist Russians. We are not without […]
...and it did -- as it tends to do -- they would take credit for it. It was a bad crisis for the world. It required tough words but also a smart approach to call on the international community to step in. And I’m very, very happy that the Senator’s [Barack Obama's] request for a […]
From Barack Obama's Berlin speech: That is why the greatest danger of all is to allow new walls to divide us from one another. Right about now I don't think that the Georgians think the "greatest danger of all" is "walls to divide us from one another."
Occasionally I'll come across someone who's boasting about this or that and I'll say, jokingly, that I'm going to go and grease the doorway so we can get their ego out the door. I'm not sure there's enough grease in the world for Sen. Barack Obama. From an interview with CBS News' Lara Logan: Logan: […]
Sen. Chuck Schumer in today's Wall Street Journal on Iran's nuclear and missile programs: Two years ago, under NATO auspices, Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania agreed to build an antimissile defense site to thwart the threat of a nuclear missile attack by Iran. The threat is hypothetical and remote, and the Bush administration's emphasis […]
Then: OK, so Iran is a "tiny" country that doesn't pose a "serious" threat to the United States. Today (Follow link for video): Obama: "I've made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave." Grave? If I've got my code words straight, that means Obama intends to invade Iran. After all, that's […]
Here's John McCain's remarks on Barack Obama's prospective Iran policy. Before I begin my prepared remarks, I want to respond briefly to a comment Senator Obama made yesterday about the threat posed to the United States by the Government of Iran. Senator Obama claimed that the threat Iran poses to our security is “tiny” compared […]
