Democrats insist that they want to fight al Qaeda terrorists ... in Afghanistan. Any suggestion that there might possibly be any al Qaeda types in Iraq is met with scorn and derision. Today's case in point is courtesy the guys over at Powerline who have video of Rep. Jack Murtha accusing Gen. David Petraeus of […]
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 […]
In the months following 9/11, if you'd have taken a poll of the general public most would have predicted that the United States would not go another five years without a major terrorist attack. For all its mistakes in just about every other aspect of governance -- from out-of-control spending on the domestic front to […]
Iowahawk has discovered the first draft of history professor David A. Bell's controversial piece "Was 9/11 really that bad." An excerpt: No disrespect to the victims of 9/11 or to the men and women of our armed forces, but by the standards of past wars, 3000 yuppie bond traders and a couple of high-rise developments […]
Yes, I'm back to referencing the movie "Sneakers." In that film, Setec Astronomy was discovered to be an anagram of "Too Many Secrets."

Nope, not our troops in Iraq, but President Bush. For more than a year, ever since the New York Times revealed the National Security Agency's terrorist wiretapping program involving international communications, conservatives have backed the president's actions based upon his constitutional authority as commander-in-chief and the legal authority of In Re Sealed Case (2002). Today, […]
Author/columnist Richard Miniter asks why the news of the capture of Iranian military officers in Iraq (who weren't there training the Iraq Army or police) isn't plastered across the front pages of American newspapers and the lead story on the network newscasts. But this is far more than a cross-border spat. Evidence of Iran’s involvement […]
It's too often been said by conservative policy wonks that the U.S. State Department represents every country on the Earth -- except the U.S. That is, they lobby our government for foreign interests, rather than foreign governments for our interests. A case in point is the treatment of the still-dead terrorist Yasser Arafat. Scott Johnson […]
I condemned Florida Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson earlier this month for undertaking some freelance diplomacy with Syria. To assure Hoystory readers that I can be bipartisan in my criticism, today I condemn Republican Sen. Arlen Specter for doing the same thing.
