William F. Buckley, Jr. didn't like the inaugural address either. "Confusing," and apparently "an improvisation," it was also ungrammatical: "Mr. Bush said that 'whole regions of the world simmer in resentment and tyranny.' You can simmer in resentment, but not in...
Our old buddy Richard Perle, otherwise known as the Prince of Darkness, appeared on Charlie Rose's program on Wednesday night. I tuned in just after the interview began. There is no transcript available for this show, as far as I know, so being the industrious fellow...
It may be time for Chalabi to head for Tehran again. Ahmad Chalabi, the leader of the Iraqi National Congress, will be arrested after the Eid al-Adha holidays, Iraq’s interim defence minister has said. Speaking to Aljazeera, minister Hazim Shaalan, said Chalabi...
