Victor Davis Hanson gets It Right, Again
Victor Davis Hanson's Private Papers

Wish I'd said this is so many words:
Any good that will come out of such an investigation in the midst of a terrible global war has already been forfeited by the commission’s election-year timing and cheap manner of inquiry. If we wished to win this war, it would be far better instead for Americans to review those so rarely played tapes of the falling towers, the innocents jumping from so high above, the toxic cloud that engulfed the city, and the mug shots of those creepy Middle Eastern mass murderers than to allot blame to us rather than to them.

Why do we not see the towers hit by planes? They don't want us to remember the anger we felt, and should still feel. That would make the war against terror, including the actions against Iraq, justifiable in the mind of most Americans. Can't have that, can we?

Dem Ad Calls for Rumsfield Hit
DRUDGE REPORT 2004�

I thought they were the party of peace. Just goes to show you...

The Enemy Within

ThisisLondon: "'They warned them in New York - stop the terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq. They did not listen. They gave them bloodshed in New York. Now Tony Blair has been warned.' "

Gee, and here I thought we had given them plenty of space in Afghanistan and Iraq to bedevil each other with little outside interference. NYC hapened anyway - twice. When we the civilized of the world send all the ranters to jolly Arab land with only each other for company? Whoever can deliver that has my vote.

Hollywood Out to Get Bush
TV Shows Take On Bush, and Pull Few Punches

Given the liberal bias of mainstream press and the Hollywood "elites", it is a puzzle why the Dems seek outlets for thier pov, eg Al Franken's raiod gig, and Gore's attempt to buy a cable station.
Haven't they realized that conservative media outlets do so well because people are in full retreat from hte liberal bias so evident everywhere.
I don't watch Law and Order, have never seen even one episode, so I can't now boycott the show. I suspect people who agree with the anti-Bush pov will enjoy the Bush barbs, people who don't like them will turn the show off in anger.

More Bombs in Spain

Happily, the Spanish found a bomb on a train track before it detonated, and defused three letter bombs sent to journalists. The price one pays for safety is like a premium, renewable whenever the demand is made. Spain's decision to pull its troops from Iraq will not buy security, yet the Spanish will pay and pay, as more groups decide that that is the way to success.

My Way News

Muslims Code of Dishonor

There was a time I thought seldom of Muslims, and had no strong feelings about them either way. The more I hear them express their views, the less I think of them. If Muslims are not to work with authorities against other Muslims who may (surprise!) be involved in terrorist activities, then they should all hop a ship back to jolly Arab land, there to live in the excellent company of other Muslims. So help me, I'll cycle everywhere I go rather than buy petrol, if that'll help.

"The Worst Place On Earth"
Marines Defend Decision to Stay Out of Falluja After Killings

Hieronymus Bosch had a glimpse of Falluja in his sights when he depicted deomns busy at their work. That the demons turn out to be devotees of Allah serves as no surprise; the shame their mullahs feel at the grotesque celebration of death, complte with hands-on mutilation of the corpses does come as a surprise. I was beginning to think the Religion of Peace had no shame left.
I hope all the dead had recently consumed pork products.
