MOVEON'S SMEAR: A VILE NEW LOW
It's not hard to imagine that if something like this occured in WW2 or Korea that an angry mob would descend upon Move On and delivery some justice. Call it whatever you want but it's treason and there have been no consequences.

KILLING FOR CONGRESS

In defense of Dick Cheney
[ Not that Dick Cheney needs defending but it's worth reading what he did to insure our nation's security]
The Cheney Imperative
The surveillance and interrogation programs he helped implement have prevented further attacks.

On the brink with Iran?
[I don't know where this mythical brink with Iran is but I welcome it's arrival- 1979 would've been better but better late than never]
Washington is a wonder with Iran
by Michael Ledeen
"There are many reasons for the respect of Iraqis for our fighters, starting with the fact that the military is currently the best institution in America, and our military men and women are several notches above the politicians, intellectuals and journalists in moral fiber and bravery. You can see that in the way the military deals with the Iranian intrusion in Iraq and Afghanistan. The politicians, diplomats, and spooks downplay the Iranian role, reshaping the facts to fit their desire for a “negotiated solution” they know in their heart of hearts will never be accomplished. But our military officers, whose troops are being blown up by Iranian explosives or Iranian-trained suicide bombers or gunned down by Iranian-trained snipers, are laying out the facts for anyone who cares to know what’s going on. Happily, at least some folks are listening (thank you, Senator Lieberman). Most Iraqis know the truth; it’s the Americans who need the education."
Why the Democrats hope we fail in Iraq
[Of course you can't question their patriotism, that would be wrong.]
Successful Surge Is Dems' Dilemma
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
"Democratic senators visiting Iraq have seen for themselves that President Bush's surge strategy is working. But their party has so much invested in losing this war, they're muffling the good news."

Foolish myths about al-Qaida in Mesopotamia
Fighting the "Real" Fight Foolish myths about al-Qaida in Mesopotamia.
By Christopher Hitchens
"Over the past few months, I have been debating Roman Catholics who differ from their Eastern Orthodox brethren on the nature of the Trinity, Protestants who are willing to quarrel bitterly with one another about election and predestination, with Jews who cannot concur about a covenant with God, and with Muslims who harbor bitter disagreements over the discrepant interpretations of the Quran. Arcane as these disputes may seem, and much as I relish seeing the faithful fight among themselves, the believers are models of lucidity when compared to the hair-splitting secularists who cannot accept that al-Qaida in Mesopotamia is a branch of al-Qaida itself."
Peggy Noonan predicting 9-11
Old column by Peggy Noonan about Bill Clinton's classless departure from office that I remember reading, but forgot about this passage
"Bill Clinton's last speech? We can only hope.His second point, and a long one it was, was that global poverty "requires more than compassion." I think a deconstruction of this thought is: It requires programs, i.e., liberal programs. In other words: When Osama bin Laden and his henchmen blow up an American city, it won't be my fault, it will be President Bush's. "

Inside Iraq
{awesome article from Bill Kristol pointing out the obvious (to us) about how our military are and will be in the future the best leaders of our nation. The Greatest Generation produced a long line of real leaders in our communities, state, and nation and you just know this generation will do the same.}

Inside Iraq
By William Kristol
I spent a week in Iraq recently, and here's what impressed me most: the Americans. In particular, the quality and character of the American soldiers and Marines who are fighting there and trying to help rebuild the nation. I don't mean to slight, in some ethnocentric way, the steadfastness and courage of the Iraqi people. But it was meeting and watching the American soldiers at work that I found most interesting.
I've served in government, and I'm familiar with Washington, and I'm not an uncritical cheerleader for the American military. Indeed, I'd say that some of our general officers--until this past year, when General David Petraeus and Lieut. General Ray Odierno took over--haven't particularly distinguished themselves. But the brigade and battalion commanders and the company and platoon leaders I saw in Iraq are really impressive.
'Get It Done'
This is a really "Paul Harvey" type of story about Gen Petraeus

How the media promote false pessimism about the economy.
Fair but Unbalanced
How the media promote false pessimism about the economy.
{ Of course this is what happens when the stupidest kids in college find their way to "Journalism". I would be willing to bet that your average Junior Acheivement kid could outperform these dolts when it come to understanding business }
