As I have been saying, watch Pakistan and Afghanistan for this summer’s hot spot in the Global War On Terror (GWOT)

Update: One of the attachments (notes from the INR person at the Wilson briefing in Feb 02) confirms Wilson was sent to Niger by the CIA previously in 1999 (which we know was at the behest of Valerie) to investigate ‘uranium matters’ – which is an interesting story all in itself! You have to read […]

Captain Ed Morrissey explains the unforced errors and the path to resolution on the immigration issue.  He notes that the protests did not help the pro-immigration movement – especially the ‘amnesty for citizenship’ group.  The ‘hard liners’ can get a major element of a solution with tougher borders, more penalties from employers, one strike you […]

The not-so-mentally-stable Iranian President Ahmedinejad as allowed, and at times encouraged, the impression that he is one of the 36 ‘nails’ of Islam: According to Shia lore, the [12th] Imam is a messianic figure who, although in hiding, remains the true Sovereign of the World. In every generation, the Imam chooses 36 men, (and, for […]

Update: The memo comes in two versions here and here. (oops! wrong Plame Post) Update: Well, that rumor I heard is turning out to be true. Marc Grossman and Joe Wilson went to the same college and graduated the same year. And as we now know went on to the state department and got the […]

Mark In Mexico posted on this story regarding what the news media is NOT telling us about what is happening in Iraq: An Iraqi officer of significant rank approached my translator as I quietly took notes near the banks of the Euphrates River, at a combat observation post named COP Dunlop. He knew I was […]

Fred Barnes writes today that a ‘pro-immigration’ bill is likely when Congress returns from Easter break. I think Fred’s arguments are a bit simplistic, but the result is accurate: THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE HAS FLIPPED in President Bush’s favor. The public now firmly supports toughened border enforcement plus–and this is a big plus for the president–a […]

Murray Waas writes volumes on the Plame Game, and his writings are so replete with errors I never have the interest to correct them all.  Captain Ed has much more stamina in this department than I do, so over to you good Captain.

I caught this at RCP, knowing full well a lot of truly big name bloggers have probably beat this to death already, but it is too funny disturbing to pass up. The Post did a story on the foaming-at-the-mouth left in this country, who show traits that should send warning signs to any concience person […]
