Well, at least it's not anywhere I can find it, but Tony Snow was playing some comments from yesterday's Earth Day photo op/campaign stop by John Kerry. (Tony Snow is on tape delay in San Diego, so I heard him on my way home.) Kerry's comment was something to the effect: We have the potential […]

Frank J. over at IMAO has an excellent post on the Iraqi insurgents. * The Iraqis violently fighting against the coalition are a minority, and thus should be given preference in hiring and college admissions. * Some people are against America because they actually liked rule under Saddam. Hey, if they liked torture and oppression, […]

Just finished reading the inexpensive, paperback edition of Mona Charen's "Useful Idiots." The book is well written and would serve as a balance to much of the revisionism that seems to go on nowadays when it comes to opinions regarding communism. You can still find devoted communists and sympathizers nowadays -- just go to any […]

Andrew McCarthy, a former U.S. attorney who has been watchdogging 9/11 commissioner Jamie Gorelick's conflicts of interest, has another piece on the controversy over at National Review Online. Under the circumstances as they exist, we can have either of two things: (a) nine commissioners, access to all essential witnesses, and no interested witness shaping the […]

Vice President Dick Cheney spoke live and uncensored on Chinese Television -- for those who were lucky enough to be channel-surfing and catch it.

The body of a Spanish police officer who was killed in a raid on suspected Islamic terrorists was removed from its tomb Sunday night, dragged across a cemetery, doused […]

There are honest liberals who truly believe that John Kerry has a sensible, and better, plan for dealing with Iraq than George W. Bush. Frankly, I can't really discern how Kerry's plan is anything more than he will ask "our allies" (read Germany, France) to pretty please send some troops to Iraq. Oh, and it […]

One of the standard complaints from the loony left has been regarding America's practice of realpolitik over the years. The United States has periodically supported dictatorships based on the principle that a stable dictatorship is better than communism or a nation in chaos. President Bush is determined to create a democracy in Iraq. Others, including […]

Instead of sitting before the 9/11 commission to be grilled on what she knows of how the Justice Department dealt with counterterrorism operations in the wake of the 1993 World Trade Center Bombing, commissioner Jamie Gorelick pens an op-ed piece in Sunday's Washington Post. Gauging the truthfulness of Gorelick's account is reasonably easy -- she […]
