Jim Henley:
My rule of thumb: If Person A says “Israel” and Person B says, “You mean, the Jooooz! Neener Neener Neener!” *at most* Person A should spare the breath to say “F_ck off, Person B” and get back to whatever he or she was saying in the first place.
But that’s more effort than the matter [...]
George Will’s latest, on Tuesday’s State of the Union address, practically sparkles with sanity. On the global democratic crusade:
The success of the terrorist organization Hamas in the Palestinian elections is but the latest proof of what happens when the forms of democracy are severed from what the president, with a cosmopolitan shrug, dismissively called “our [...]
Condi Rice is baffled by the victory of Hamas in the recent Palestinian elections:
“I’ve asked why nobody saw [Hamas' election victory] coming. It does say something about us not having a good enough pulse… I don’t know anyone who wasn’t caught off guard by Hamas’ strong showing.”
Is it really true that the Secretary of State [...]
If anyone had any doubts about the army vs. settlers “clashes” in Hebron being nothing but a sham (see my latest column), today’s Ha’aretz reports of the so predictable outcome:
The state and Hebron’s settlers reached an agreement early Monday morning under which Jewish squatters would voluntarily leave the city’s wholesale market by Monday night, Israel [...]
Canadian war reporter Scott Taylor was recently interviewed by the Canadian-Macedonian News newspaper. He kindly mentions myself, but that is not the primary reason I suggest the article. More interesting is the following insight into why the Americans tend to support who they do.
When asked why the Americans fell for the fawning accolades and desperate [...]
Everyone is jumping over the fact that the US has brought Hamas to power through its love of exporting democracy- just as it’s democracy-building brought Communist economics to Ukraine, and has made Iraq a state ruled by Islamic law.
Three words you’ll never hear come out of the president’s mouth: “whoops, my bad!”
The question is, [...]
Bloomberg reports:
Britain’s Daily Telegraph newspaper lost a bid to overturn a ruling it libeled U.K. politician George Galloway by reporting he was in the pay of ousted Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
Galloway, 51, was awarded 150,000 pounds ($263,000) in damages in 2004 over a series of articles alleging he secretly pocketed hundreds of thousands of pounds [...]
Kurdish writer Kamal Karim is to be retried for the crime of defaming Kurdish leader Masoud Barzani.
Karim had been sentenced to 30 years in prison after a trial that lasted one hour. He was convicted in December under a law passed by the Kurdish regional parliament in 2003.
His crime was to accuse the Kurdish [...]
If anybody out there needs to catch up or get a good refresher course in who lied us into war in Iraq and how, may I recommend this great article by former DIA officer W. Patrick Lang, “Drinking the Kool-Aid” from the summer of 2004? It is a detailed retelling of the activities of the [...]
Hey everybody! This is great. You’ve got to hear it.
Hour One Hour Two
We all know (hopefully) from reading Dr. Gordon Prather 3 times a week here at Antiwar.com and World Net Daily (and even from rags like the Washington Post) that if the government of Iran began to enrich uranium for nuclear bomb making purposes right now, it would take them 10 years to make one simple [...]
Here is what should be Bush’s official portrait, made with the faces of the fallen.
