U.N. Climate Change Conference Gets Its Quiet On

Why We Went To Iraq
2008-06-04 23:26:00 Liberals, please take note of the column that Ace called the “Best Essay on Iraq You’ll Read This Month. Or in many months. Read the whole thing. Of all that has been written about the play of things in Iraq, nothing that I have seen approximates the truth of what our ambassador to Baghdad, Ryan Crocker, recently said of this war: “In the end, how we leave and what we leave behind will be more important than how we came.” It is odd, then, that critics have launched a new attack on the origins of the war at precisely the time a new order in Iraq is taking hold. But American liberal opinion is obsessive today. Scott McClellan can’t be accused of strategic thinking, but he has been anointed a peer of Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft. A witness and a presumed insider – a “Texas loyalist” – has “flipped.” Mr. McClellan wades into the deep question of whether this war was a war of “necessity” or a war of “c...
Barack’s Speech At AIPAC
2008-06-04 16:48:00 So, I have been listening on the radio while taking a shower, then on the boobtube, to Obama’s speech at the AIPAC. A few thoughts occur Getting beyond the fact that I detest him politically (not personally, mind you, since I do not know him), a pretty good start to the speech (’cept a few parts) It is heavy on supporting Israel against the Islamists and Iran. I have to believe that the Nutroots and other lefties who are major Israel haters were booing Obama during most of the speech He has ditched the grandfather and “uncle” going in to the death camps story, substituting one which is about Eisenhower Updating the post to split the thoughts about the early speech from when I was sorta live blogging it “Iraq was never a threat, but Iran was, and has become worse.” Pardon me, but, does Obama not remember that he wants to meet with the President of Iran with no pre-conditions? Also, Barack apparently forgot that Iraq paid families $25K to become ... More About: Speech

GOP Using Democrats Own Words Against Obama
2008-06-04 14:48:00 Would this be considered being hoist on their own petard? (CNN) Hours before the polls closed Tuesday in the final two Democratic presidential primaries, the Republican National Committee began circulating a video of Hillary Clinton questioning Barack Obama ’s qualifications to be commander-in-chief, and acknowledging John McCain has this important presidential credential. “Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience to the campaign, I will bring a lifetime of experience and Senator Obama will bring a speech that he gave in 2002,” Clinton says in the one-minute video of CNN’s coverage of a news conference she held on March 8 – the day Obama won the Wyoming caucuses. “I think that is a significant difference. I think that since we now know Senator McCain will be the nominee for the Republican Party, national security will be front and center in this election. We all know that. The RNC states they will continue to use the words of Hillary, and surely other Democrats ,... More About: Words
Excitable Andy, Mr. Conservative, Wuvs The Missiah!
2008-06-04 14:36:00 I really hope, for Michelle Obama’s sake, that Andrew Sullivan is kept away from the Missiah, cause I think he wants Barack’s baby* If I needed reassurance that this man is the most formidable force in American politics today, his speech tonight confirmed it….. One more thing: with McCain’s and Clinton’s speeches, you could not forget the politics of it. With Obama, you forgot about that at times. You actually lifted your eyes a little and believed a little and hoped a little. Yes, he can. And anyone who under-estimates that will regret it. Wait a moment: isn’t Sullivan “been a major conservative voice in U.S. politics for 15 years“? Anyone want to bet that sometime in the next 2 months Excitable Andy comes out and endorses Obama, who gives him the vapors? You gotta love that part about lifting your eyes. Missiah indeed! *That is not a slap at Andrew being gay. I would write that same thing even if he wasn’t. Copyright © 20... More About: Conservative
Ahmadinejad Slams Israel At Food Meeting
2008-06-04 14:22:00 Like Obama, Ahmadinejad is starting to sound like a one tune pony Among the more provocative speakers was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran, who blamed the Western nations for creating the food crisis by devaluing the dollar and forcing up oil prices, and described Israel as a criminal state. Of course, that is as far as the NY Times will go, but, in their defense, the story was about a world food shortage. LA Times? They talk about some of Ahmadinejad’s comments, but nothing about Sneezy. Israeli President Shimon Peres slammed Ahmadinejad being invited to the conference, saying the Iranian leader was providing “bombs, not food” to the world. Right before the conference, Ahmadinejad had this to say Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad predicted yesterday that Israel will soon be “erased” and that the “satanic power of the United States” will be “annihilated,” according to reports from Tehran.

Obama’s Shiny Quarter Problem
2008-06-01 20:35:00 Does Obama suffer from ADHD? I remember listening to Bob And Tom here in the Triangle a few years ago, and there was some comedian singing a song about having ADHD, who would keep getting sidelined by distractions, such as a quarter. This reminds me quite a bit of Barack Obama, who seems to find everything that he doesn’t want to talk about to be a distraction. As Don Surber writes: Any time he screws up, the criticism is a distraction from “the real issues,” whatever those are. What are some of those distractions? (BTW, I am going to take a few of these from a The Weekly Standard article by Michael Goldfarb, which I ran across while searching for more distraction articles) Obama on not having been to Iraq since 2006: “I don’t think John McCain or the Bush administration have a very strong argument to make about their foreign policy, so they’re going to try to come up with diversions or distractionsand not argue the substance,” Obama said.

Iran Says Enrichment Rights Are Non-Negotiable
2008-05-31 14:48:00 Perhaps Senator Fluffy can go in and send some hope and change to his buddy Mahmoud to change Iran ’s mind Iran will not give up its right to enrich uranium, a senior Iranian official said on Saturday, days before major powers submit an upgraded package of incentives to try to coax Tehran into halting the work. “Suspending enrichment is not negotiable … Depriving Iran of its right cannot be on offer,” Gholamhossein Elham, the government spokesman, told a weekly news conference. Iran has agreed to a visit by EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana to submit the package of incentives, in exchange for a full suspension of uranium enrichment. The five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council — the United States, France, Britain, China and Russia — and Germany, known as the P5+1, offered a package to Iran in 2006 that also required Iran to halt enrichment.

Kaffiyeh Wearing A.N.S.W.E.R Moonbats On Dunkin Donuts
2008-05-31 14:33:00 I haven’t blogged anything about the Rachael Ray Dunkin Donuts kaffiyah kerffufle (while lots of people have covered it, go to Merri Musings, since she is a huge fan), mostly because I think it is no big deal. I don’t think it was one, just a pretty scarf that I have seen around in the tri-state area for a long time. Hell, Mom has one, and she is not in solidarity with the Palestinian Intifada. ‘Specially since since she is a relapsed Jew. But, on the flip side, someone may have slipped the scarf in on purpose. Kinda strange to be wearing a scarf with shortsleaves when the trees are blooming.

ACLU Thrilled By Anti-Immigrant Laws Stopped
2008-05-30 14:47:00 As usual, they take the disengenuous line that it is against immigrants as a whole, rather then against illegal immigrants, who, the last time I checked, were not American citizens Yesterday the courts dealt another blow against the disturbing trend of cities, towns and counties across the country attempting to enact unconstitutional anti-immigrant ordinances. On Wednesday, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued an order permanently preventing the City of Farmers Branch, Texas, from enforcing its discriminatory anti-immigrant housing ordinance. The ordinance prohibited landlords from renting to noncitizens (including legal immigrants here on visas) who did not fall into a narrow class of lawful immigrants. The Farmers Branch ordinance is just the latest unsuccessful attempt by cities and states to legislate immigration law locally, as several of these laws have subsequently been repealed (e.g., Riverside, N.J.; Valley Park, Mo.) or shot down by the courts ...
