In various sparring sessions over the war in Iraq, I notice that many Liberals flatly assert that Iraq is a distraction from the GWOT (that is, if they’re generously acknowledging that the war against Islamists requires more than strict airport screening.) I’ve asserted that Iraq was simply the next stage in the GWOT, so the various arguments marshalled for taking [...]
Newscoma (here) alerted me to a fascinating story about the war in Iraq. I was kidding when I suggested that the defense lawyer for Ehren Watada might expect the courtroom to sit through a showing of PBS’s “The Darkside” (here) . . . but from reading the interview (here) with Watada, that’s not a stretch. [...]
After graciously enduring 90 minutes of Liberal propaganda (The Darkside), I can’t believe the ingratitude of some Liberal readers. But one element of the “documentary” merits additional comment, I think.
The Charts.
You’re familiar with the technique . . . slowly spinning camera as it zooms or pans out from a chart illustrating the point being made. [...]
They say that the winners get to write the history books. Nevertheless, at the suggestion of a commienter (sic), I took the time to watch “The Darkside”–a Frontline special aired this past summer. When will I learn that if I keep up with Lefty media I can better understand and anticipate their hysterical (and [...]
Seeing as anti-capital punishment activists in America succeed–through frivolous appeals and demagoguery, in rendering our death penalty ineffective, I’m hoping the speedy review of Hussein’s conviction and sentence bodes well for the future of Iraq and is not an indication that civil rights will get only lip-service in this new democracy. That being said, I [...]
Like me, you may have noticed the term “reality-based” being revived in discussions about the Iraq Study Group’s report. Well, I’m a little embarrassed to admit it, but though I had heard the many sniffling, disparaging references from Liberals about “reality-based” policy over the past few years, I was not clear about its source (I [...]
It appears that Dubya intends to “stay the course” in Iraq, as discussed in this Fred Barnes piece (here). (Hat tip to reader elliemay).
But wait, “stay the course” means keep using American troops as fodder for the “war for oil/Halliburton,” doesn’t it?!? Well, no.
Even though the phrase became a favorite club by Dems during the 2006 [...]
I just came across this sobering report from Policy Review (via the Corner) on the war in Iraq, which seems to be fair. If you are a Bushater, you’ll probably think it’s about right, even though it doesn’t ID Bush as the fount of all the world’s ills.
Hopefully Liberal and Democrat leaders will cooperate in the [...]
We’ve been arguing around here lately about (among other things) the proper “context” for casualty numbers of American servicemen in Iraq. Ann Coulter’s syndicated column this week (here) provides some needed perspective on the war we’re fighting. Here’s an excerpt:
“If absolutely nothing changed in Iraq over the next few years — if it didn’t continue to get [...]
Some on the Left will surely pooh-pooh this general’s statements (here) about the war on Islamism. He says that it could take 100 years to prevail.
It appears the general didn’t get the memo that Liberals are going to be calling the shots on foreign policy from here on out.
