The Britain we remember

Courtesy Target Centermass comes this bit from Ronald Reagan. The British people know that, given strong leadership, time and a little bit of hope, the forces of good ultimately rally and triumph over evil. Here among you is the cradle of self-government, the Mother of Parliaments. Here is the enduring greatness of the British contribution […]

Whose side are they on?

It appears from postings on various left-wing sites, including the "mainstream" Daily Kos, that terrorist attacks on Westerners bring out the worst in the haters. Powerline highlights one poster's comments here. Little Green Footballs has a couple of links here.

What the?

This is the most bizarre "editor's note" I've seen in years. The Op-Ed page in some copies of Wednesday's newspaper carried an incorrect version of the below article about military recruitment. The article also briefly appeared on NYTimes.com before it was removed. The writer, an Army reserve officer, did not say, "Imagine my surprise the […]

More instruction for the Dumb Dick Durbin: In May 1969, I was taken out for interrogation on suspicion of planning an escape. I was forced to remain awake for long periods of time -- three weeks on one occasion. On the first of June, I was put in a cement box with a steel door, […]

On President Bush's speech

I watched it -- and frankly it was a big ho-hum. Bush said nothing that he hadn't said before -- he was right then, he's right now. We will leave Iraq when victory has been achieved.

An interesting point

A lot of Gitmo critics have pooh-poohed the idea that we could be getting any sorts of useful information from the terrorists at the facility since they've been there now for three-plus years.
