Do you remember when U.N. chief weapons inspector Hans Blix reported to the U.N. that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction and that he had complied with U.N. resolution 1441? No. Well New York Times columnist Paul Krugman does. Surely even supporters of the Iraq war must be dismayed by the administration's reaction […]
Today's New York Times has a letter from a former State Department official during the Reagan administration. The writer makes an excellent point: To the Editor: Something has skewed what should be the obvious public take on the American intelligence about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction (front page, Jan. 29). It is a fact that […]
I mentioned a couple of days ago that I was looking forward to reading what Union-Tribune columnist James Goldsborough would have to say regarding the results of the Hutton Inquiry and its indictment of the BBC's "journalism." Well, you can find his Thursday column here. The column actually takes a dual path, condemning Bush on […]
Weapons inspector David Kay testified before Congress yesterday and said little more than what he had told various media organizations over the past several days. Some thoughts on the issue and things to remember: Democrats and other associated leftists have argued that the failure of the U.S. to find WMDs in Iraq proves that Hussein […]
Fox News just had a short report on the Jewish community in Baghdad -- all 38 of them. They had video of some working to restore a small Jewish cemetery -- something that had been forbidden under Saddam Hussein's rule. Anytime Palestinian apologists gripe about their "right of return" to Israel, remember that there used […]
I commented earlier this week on Democrat presidential hopeful Howard Dean's incredibly stupid statement that Iraqis standard of living was lower now than it was under Saddam. Now an Iraqi blogger has some words for Dean. I’m not going to comment about the rightness of the statement with more than saying that only a (blind) […]
On CNN right now, Democrat Party chairman Terry McAullife said: "They've (the Bush administration) come out and said there are no weapons of mass destruction. This should be no surprise to anyone." You're kidding me, right? No surprise? Tell me, which Democrats before the war were telling us that Saddam Hussein had no WMDs? Name […]
The Democrat candidates for president, with the probable exception of Sen. Joe Lieberman, are so mad at President Bush's policies that they find themselves saying really stupid things. After Saddam Hussein's capture, Dean told reporters that he "supposed" that was a good thing, but it didn't make us any safer. That position is debatable. Dean's […]
Australian newspaper The Age has an excellent opinion piece by Caroline Overington. Most Americans also support Bush's decision to go to war with Iraq. They are not stupid. They know that the so-called intelligence about Saddam Hussein was wrong. Despite this, 67 per cent still believe the US did the right thing. Because I live […]
A good friend of mine who's in the Air Force sent me this e-mail that has been making the rounds in military circles from SSgt. Parker Gyokeres. Hello all, Good lord what a week. I'm going to remember the 14th of December for a very long time. This marshy valley region is the area of […]
