The New York Times, so quick to allege U.S. breaches of the Geneva Conventions where there are none -- as in the case of unlawful combatants -- are not so interested in highlighting other nations' violations. The Washington Post has been little better. It has published online various Associated Press articles noting Geneva Conventions violations […]
There's a couple of good articles out today in New York newspapers -- and it should come as no surprise that neither of them is The New York Times. OK, that was gratuitous, but I'm feeling a little punchy today. The first article is actually a New York Sun editorial on the appearance of Jordan's […]
Jimmy Carter's foreign policy as president was based on fear. Carter was afraid of just about anything that moved. Carter was so afraid of getting in any sort of a fight (I'm not talking solely military here, I'm speaking diplomatically as well), that every two-bit thug and despot thought they could walk all over the […]
It looks like France the cheese-eating surrender monkeys are looking to lose another war. French soldiers in Lebanon who feel threatened by aggressive Israeli overflights are permitted to shoot at IAF fighter jets, a high-ranking French military officer told The Jerusalem Post. Wednesday, several days after meeting with an IDF general in Paris to discuss […]
Something positive may have come out of the Council On Foreign Relations meeting with Iranian "President" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad -- it looks like the influential group may have come to the conclusion that the head of state of Iran is a madman. According to Maurice R. Greenberg, a holocaust survivor and head of the Nixon Center, […]
The New York Times resident Fig Tree, public editor Byron Calame, has a piece in today's paper on photographs used during the recent Hezbollah/Israeli conflict. I'm not that interested in the main subject of his column, but this bit at the end got to me. A final thought on morality. Some supporters of Israel, who […]
The best thing that can be said about President Jimmy Carter's administration is that it was only four years long. The best thing about Carter's ex-presidency is his work with Habitat for Humanity. Just about everything Carter has done since he was booted out of the Oval Office in 1981 on the international stage has […]
If you haven't been reading the blogs over the weekend, you missed a serious blow-up at the Reuters news agency. (Michelle Malkin has a helpful, link-filled post here.) One of Reuters' freelance photographers in Lebanon submitted at least two photos to the news agency, which then sent them out over the wires, that were Photoshopped […]
Greg Mitchell, the editor or Editor & Publisher magazine, has a new column out decrying the fact that American newspapers aren't decrying the fact that the United States is supplying a Democratic ally in the Middle East with arms. Simply put: Those are largely American made, supplied, and/or paid for missiles falling on Lebanon today, […]
If it wasn't obvious before now, the United Nations is at best useless and at worst an impediment to peace in the world. How else to explain U.N. humanitarian coordinator Jan Egeland's (pictured indicating his total IQ) announcement that Israel has violated "humanitarian law" by trying to defend itself from Hezbollah. Talk about clueless. Hezbollah […]
