Usually I like Fox News' Bill O'Reilly. While I don't always agree with him, I think he does good work -- but this week hasn't been kind to Fox News' wunderkind. Exhibit A is his participation in a Saudi public relations campaign to keep American Pat Roush's now-adult daughters in the world's largest women's prison […]
The misogynistic Saudi regime continues to thumb its nose at the United States. Rep. Dan Burton is leading a Congressional delegation to Saudi Arabia seeking the release of American-born women being held hostage there. When Mr. Burton was talking with Miss Radwan at a Riyadh Starbucks, they had their meeting interrupted by a member of […]
I took MSNBC's Eric Alterman to task for his claim that Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti was someone with whom Israel could make peace. Barghouti is the leader of Fatah's Al Aqsa Martyr's Brigades. That's the same peace-loving group that did this: Palestinian militants shot a teenaged girl in the head and killed her on Friday […]
Sometimes I wish I'd been struck in the head with a sledgehammer hard enough to make me believe crazy things could happen in this world -- I'd be able to predict things like this. Talk about a waste of time. Seriously, if the Saudis are going to sue us in United States' courts over Sept. […]
I don't often check Alterman's blog, but I checked it out today and was shocked by what he said. Marwan Barghouti, as I understand it, plans and helps execute attacks against Israelis only in the occupied territories, where right-wing and opportunist Israelis have chosen to put themselves and their families at risk on land to […]
Hardliners are cracking down again according to this article in today's New York Times Hopefully Michael Ledeen will be able to provide some context for this action over at National Review Online soon.
If you don't get ticked off at the State Department and the Saudi government after reading William McGurn's piece in today's Wall Street Journal then you've got no heart. If you want a glimpse at what all of American foreign policy would be like if we made our No. 1 priority getting along with every […]
Yasser Arafat says that President Bush wasn't talking about him when the president called for new Palestinian leadership earlier this week. WASHINGTON -- President Bush decided to call for Yasser Arafat's removal after receiving intelligence information last week showing that the Palestinian leader had authorized a $20,000 payment to a group that claimed responsibility for […]
Fresh from alleging brutal atrocities at Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Amnesty International is now screaming bloody murder -- literally. Amnesty International has done its best since Sept. 11 to become the embodiment of the proverbial "boy who cried wolf." The most curious comments in the article came from a Scotsman. Forensic pathologist Derrick […]
Just a couple of short notes for today. I haven't been feeling very good and I'm just physically exhausted. There were a lot of Arab-American and Palestinian supporters on the various television shows today. You could hardly flip a channel without seeing someone saying that it is basically Israel's fault that they are getting bombed. […]
