OK, this is one gut wrenching assignment I have taken on – listening to Joe Wilson moan to Keith Olbermann about their fantasy conspiracy theories. But I wanted to listen in and see if wild Joe would trip up again (he has become well coached after years of dumb slips of the tongue). I will […]

Since 9-11 one of the most common phrases is “connect the dots”. Well here are some dots to connect: An Israeli airstrike in Lebanon on Monday destroyed at least one long- range Iranian missile capable of hitting Tel Aviv, military officials said. Israeli aircraft targeted a truck carrying the weapons before they could be launched, […]

Boy, are the liberals out there desperate or what? Now they are begging failed prosecutor Fitzgerald to open up numerous witch hunts on their pet conspiracy theories in a hope they can convince America they are not lunatics and Bush should be impeached! Too funny. I guess it never occurred to these people that if […]

Iran sent its Foreign Minister to Syria to discuss the situation in Lebanon. Hezbollah is getting pummeled and I am sure they are looking for support and help from the closest ally – Syria. And I would guess Syria is in no mood to be seen aiding the terrorists in Lebanon striking into Israel in […]

In what is probably the first large scale indication the US policy in Iraq is finally turning a corner we see the Sunni’s in Iraq ‘moderating’ their stance by asking for more US presence to quell the violence. It is no surprise three decades of anger and frustration were going to bubble over when the […]

What a bunch of self aggrandizing BS from our former President: : Former US President Bill Clinton who many Arab thoughts was more even-handed on the Palestine question than his predecessors shocked many when he asserted in Toronto last week that had Israel been attacked by Iraq or Iran during his presidency, he would have […]

How can the fighting in Lebanon and Gaza be stopped through a cease fire? Well, the requirement for cessation of hostilities has always been the same: Israel would agree to a cease-fire in its six-day-old offensive against Hezbollah if the Lebanese guerrillas withdraw from the border area with Israel and release two captured Israeli soldiers, […]

Tom Bevan has a good question up today on RCP (and, uncharacteristically, the wrong conclusion). It has to do with the images of death used in campaign commercials (or for any ‘communication’). Here is his question: It seems that right around the time the DCCC was pulling its latest video because of the vehement protestations […]

Seems the Iranian President was not kidding when he said he would attack Israel if the West messed with Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Israeli officials charged that elite Iranian troops operating in Lebanon were involved in the Hezbollah offensive, and were responsible for firing an Iranian-made, radar-guided C802 missile – not the unmanned bomb-laden drone originally […]

I have grown up around DC and all its talking heads and Deans of this and Deans of that, and right now these people are completely useless in understanding what is happening in the Middle East. I was watching Charlayne Hunter-Gault on CNN discuss the role South Africa could play in stopping the fighting in […]
