There is a reason Nasrallah is back pedaling on his instigation of the war with Israel, and that is probably because he sees what’s coming. A poll shows Druze, Christians and even Sunni’s want Hezbollah disarmed – probably so they can’t start another incident. Hezbollah cannot stand with so many Lebanese standing against it. An […]

Man, that London Airline Plot really got people nervous as we see in another flight diversion due to a bomb scare. I flew that day so I guess was inocculated to some degree, but we hear of scares now once or twice a week since the plot to down 9 airlines was exposed. The Ned […]

Want to know how we ended up with terrorism? We did not hold people to account for using terror to obtain their political aims. It is happening again this week in Pakistan, as some long time warlord who has used terror against the government is lionized by a media (here and here) that cannot understand […]

News out of Iraq has the Iraqi Army clashing with the Mahdi Shiite Militia. While the Iraqi Army is taking the initial hits, that will only fuel the comaraderie you see in any military organization, and that will create the environment that can cause the eventual downfall of the militias. The militias are the last […]

Looking at the claimed Reuters attack at Powerline I have some questions and comments. First, who looks for explosives and tunnels at night? Just cordine off the area and come back in the daylight so you don’t kill yourself by tripping over an IED. Second, the Israeli’s claim only one vehicle was there, and admit […]

As I posted before I think Leiberman is staying well ahead of Lamont (see here and here). The latest poll out is from WSJ-Zogby (which I detest as a poll) shows Leiberman ahead by ten points at 49.4-39.4% (2.1% for Schlessinger). This is consistent with the other polls out so far and show a very […]

Things to remember about Katrina: (1) Bush pleaded and begged Nagin and Blanco for days to evacuate New Orleans, which they did too late to meet the requirements established in the New Orleans disaster plan. (2) Nagin and Blanco tossed out their hurricane/flood disaster plan that they submitted and coordinated with FEAM, throwing the entire […]

As usual, Ed Morrissey says it best: Fitzgerald’s prosecutorial abuse should be investigated as the only real scandal surrounding Joe and Valerie Wilson. The entire Plame scandal was as fact based as Joe Wilson debunking Niger forgeries in Feb 2002 – forgeries which the CIA did not have in their posession until Oct 2002 and […]

The Drudge Report and Hot Air are all trumpetting the the parody of an air crash on the Emmy’s yesterday, only hours after the tragic deaths of 49 people in Lexington Kentucky. I don’t watch Hollywood pat itself on the back so I missed Conan O’brien’s spoof Lost (which is one of the two shows […]

The poor, pathetic young man at the end of Sen Allen’s Maccac jibe is still crying days later – milking his 15 minutes of fame for all its worth. And explaining a lot about how democrats and liberals plan to stand up to Al Qaeda, Iran and Hezbollah. Clearly the left’s response to threats is […]
