Krugman listened to President Bush's speech Sunday night and -- surprise -- he is not impressed. Actually, it's not clear that Krugman has ever really listened to what Bush has said, as demonstrated the second paragraph of his latest screed. It's now clear that the Iraq war was the mother of all bait-and-switch operations. Mr. […]
An audiotape alleged to have been made by Saddam Hussein denied responsibility for last Friday's bombing in Najaf that killed scores, including a leading Iraqi cleric. This is curious because it's probably the first time a terrorism supporter has released a statement denying responsibility. Also, when I first heard about it, I thought: "Of course, […]
The following letter appeared in Monday's San Diego Union-Tribune. Unfortunately, due to the less-than-stellar integration between the print side and the electronic side, it's not available online. I am currently deployed in northern Iraq, and would like to express my thanks to everyone who supports us and what we are fighting for. For those, however, […]
The latest Paul Krugman diatribe isn't anything we haven't heard before. Krugman has three basic columns: the economy's bad and it's Bush's fault; our foreign policy is bad and it's Bush's fault, and; I stubbed my toe and it's Bush's fault. I understand that Krugman doesn't feel bound by the most basic journalistic principle: accuracy. […]
It's a rare day when a New York Times op-ed columnist is outdone by one here at the San Diego Union-Tribune, but James Goldsborough has accomplished this difficult mission. I read the Times' Bob Herbert column last night, knowing well that I would get another quagmire diatribe because of this week's terrorist bombing of the […]
The Wall Street Journal publishes a column by Lance Cpl. John R. Guardiano, a Marine serving in Al Hillah, Iraq. Guardiano's experience is contrary to what most of the mainstream media would have us believe about what's going on in Iraq. In fact, there is another Iraq that the media virtually ignore. It is guarded […]
Earlier this week I pointed out some thoughful responses to New York Times columnist Paul Krugman's latest attack on the Bush administration. One of the things I linked to, but didn't highlight, at the time was Krugman's assertion that U.S. troops in Iraq were being issued only two 1.5 liter bottles of water a day. […]
One of the useful idiots, aka human shields, who went to Iraq is now being fined "at least $10,000." Retired schoolteacher Faith Fippinger is, of course, refusing. In her response to the charges, she wrote the government that "if it comes to fines or imprisonment, "please be aware that I will not contribute money to […]
It can be interesting from time to time to see how people find this site. Thursday evening at 9:44 p.m. an AOL user from the Central time zone found this site by googling: "it was a hoax uday and qusay are still alive" Yes, all those words appear in my archives, they're just not very […]
Uday (left) and Qusay Hussein The United States military killed two of the most depraved, brutal and disgusting human beings on the face of the Earth. After asking them to give themselves up, the brothers Hussein decided instead that they would rather be pushing up weeds. (Daisies wouldn't grow over their graves.) However, that doesn't […]
