Three idiots vandalized a nuclear missile launch site in North Dakota last week. The headline says they sabotaged it -- wrong. Using a sledgehammer and household hammers, all they would accomplish in 200 years is breaking the hammers. Rest assured, there would have been little problem launching that missile before, during and after the anti-war […]
Radio show host Mark Levin has a blog over at National Review and in a post responding to yesterday's discovery of the bodies of two tortured and mutilated American servicemen, he writes in part: Meanwhile, two kidnapped U.S. soldiers were apparently brutally tortured and murdered today. And the question I pose to those who rightly […]
I must say that I wasn't surprised to discover that the two U.S. soldiers who were kidnapped last week were found dead yesterday, their bodies mutilated and booby-trapped. Not only were the bodies booby-trapped, but homemade bombs also lined the road leading to the victims, an apparent effort to complicate recovery efforts and target recovery […]
A couple of weeks back Sen. John Kerry did a softball interview in the New York Times about his efforts to resuscitate his hopes for running for president again in 2008. Kerry has decided that a year and a half after he lost the November 2004 election is the time to stand up to charges […]
For those of you, like me, too young to remember the Winter Soldier hearings, let me summarize: More than 35 years ago, Vietnam Veterans Against the War held hearings in Detroit where veterans testified to all sorts of atrocities and war crimes being committed by American troops in Vietnam. The vast majority of the "testimony" […]
OpinionJournal.com's James Taranto absolutely nails Rep. John Murtha's latest pronouncement, so I'll quote it extensively. 'In Cold Blood' The Pentagon is investigating whether U.S. Marines committed war crimes in a November incident in which 15 Iraqi civilians were killed in Haditha, Iraq. NBC News reports that Rep. John Murtha, who voted for the war in […]
You can often find some comedy in the New York Times corrections section, and today is no different. An article and a picture caption yesterday about the funeral of Sgt. Jose Gomez of Queens, who was killed on April 20 in Iraq, referred incorrectly to the Army representative who comforted his mother. She was a […]
Today's Union-Tribune has an article on 53-year-old Air Force veteran David Patterson who has sent his medals back to President George W. Bush to protest the war in Iraq. Mailing them via the USPS doesn't have the drama of "pulling a Kerry" -- tossing someone else's medals over the White House fence -- but it's […]
The military last week found some outtakes from a propaganda video released awhile ago by the head of Al Qaeda in Iraq, Musab Al Zarqawi. In the outtakes. In a press conference, Zarqawi was seen on video firing an M249 SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon). This is a light machine gun. The gun weighs about 15 […]
Amid the furor of journalist Seymour Hersh's revelation that the Bush administration was working on plans to attack Iran, many sensible people pointed out that we've had plans to attack just about everyone at one time, including Canada. Well, word comes today that if ever we should decide that the Stanley Cup should always belong […]
