After Thursday night's debate, I still don't know what Sen. John Kerry's plan is for fighting the global war on terrorism. I think a "global test" of some sort is involved. And committee meetings, aka "summits," are also a good idea. To me, Kerry's plan appears to be reactive, not proactive, and focused on a […]
The San Diego Union-Tribune reports today that an Iraqi arrested in Iraq had on him a computer disk containing a report on crisis planning for U.S. school districts -- including San Diego Unified. The man was described as an Iraqi national with connections to terrorism and the insurgency that is fighting U.S. forces in Iraq. […]
I'm watching it right now, and Shakespeare comes to mind, specifically Macbeth: It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. I can't wait to see a transcript of this, because listening to Kerry actually speak could be used as an anesthetic in hospitals for major surgery. *UPDATE* OK, […]
It appears the Russian school hostage crisis is coming to an end -- with explosions and gunfire. No word yet on how many innocents are dead or wounded.
I wish I could've been there tonight to see Rudy Giuliani's speech in person. It was a thing of beauty. What most of the media will focus on is the attacks on John Kerry's flip-floppity nature ("John Kerry's record of inconsistent positions on combatting terrorism gives us no confidence he'll pursue such a determined course."). […]
Word is out that the senior senator *hiccup* from Massachusetts, Ted "I'll drive off that bridge when I come to it" Kennedy was "erroneously" placed on the infamous no-fly list. Everyone insists that it was just another notorious bureaucratic screw-up, but it's a *hiccup* funny one.
John Kerry did something stupid last week. He took an tip from Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 and attacked President Bush for sitting and reading a book, calmly, with schoolkids for 7 minutes after being told that America was under attack. Unfortunately, Kerry apparently forgot that he'd already gone on the record with Larry King on […]
I'm trying to watch as little of the Democrat Convention as I possibly can. Frankly, I can't stand a half hour of Sen. Ted "I'll drive off that bridge when I come to it" Kennedy. It's better for my anger-management program if I just read the transcripts a little bit at a time. OpinionJournal.com's James […]
Three Indians (from India, not America), two Kenyans and one Egyptian have been reported kidnapped in Iraq. Foreign terrorists and Baathist bitter-enders were emboldened by the Philippines' caving to demands to pull out its 50+ troops to prevent the beheading of one of its citizens working in Iraq. Those three countries can thank the Philippines for […]
A couple of weeks ago, I was talking with a colleague at the Union-Tribune regarding Fahrenheit 9/11 and whether or not President Bush has purposely conflated the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the Iraq war. This guy is a talented reporter and a bright guy and -- unsurprisingly -- a liberal. Though he acknowledged that […]
