Rasmussen has a poll out showing only 18% of the country buys the liberal media spin on the NIE on Iranian nukes (H/T Drudge). Even most liberals don’t buy it! Just 18% of American voters believe that Iran has halted its nuclear weapons program. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 66% disagree […]

Oh boy, are the sparks (and the pink slips and possibly the indictments) going to be flying soon in DC!

Addendum: Clarice Feldman and I have been bantering in emails over this connection between Plame and the authors of this NIE and one topic I wanted to emphasize was the timing of this phone call right before her speech that Fitzgerald and Waxman were colluding on some dirt on Bush and Cheney.

The the term “scourge of humanity” is becoming highly applicable to al-Qaeda. They have been pushed on their way out of Iraq for months now and their last remnants are in now grasping to hang on in Northern Iraq.

The liberal media is a bit upset their politicization of the latest NIE on Iran is not working, so they claim all those who raise legitimate doubts about the NIE are – of course – politicizing the NIE. Kettle, meet pot. We can see this in the way the SurrenderMedia portrays the debate. Their frustration […]

If the drop in violence in Iraq is sustained and reconciliation continues to proceed then we could see 21,500 US troops out of Iraq by summer. Petraeus outlined a strategy for handling what he called “the thinning out of our forces” as 17,500 soldiers and 4,000 Marines depart by July. He said he has asked […]

As if to drive a stake through the heart of Embryonic Stem Cell Research, which took a hit just a few days ago with the news of a way to create stem cells from human skin cells, we now learn of another major breakthrough in adult stem cell therapies, which as has been announced: Using […]
