Israel is now reported to have submarines equipped with nuclear weapons. As an Israeli, I find it a great relief. Now, even if Israel is completely destroyed, we'll strike back at whoever did it. We may all perish - but not ignominously! In fact, the future is already...
Come Again, Glenn?
Read this post by Glenn Reynolds, then read the article it refers to. Then convince me that Reynolds hasn't gotten into Limbaugh's stash. Reynolds makes it sound as if Brendan O'Neill's article somehow makes the case for war, like this hawk yelp from Charles...
Damned Liberal Media, Pt. 2
Or rather, damned French media. From AFP: In Baghdad's Sadr City district, more than 10,000 Shiites gathered for the funeral procession of two of their own killed in a firefight Thursday night between the Mehdi Army militia and coalition soldiers that also left...
War Nerd on “Greater Albania”
Sam's post on a book review in the eXile reminded me I haven't visited their page for a while. One of my favorites is the "War Nerd," though I'm not sure why. Maybe because he doesn't mince words... Here's his take on the whole "Greater Albania" issue. The way I've...
I’m with Stupid
Pat Robertson suggests nuking the State Department. It's a start. [For the satirically-challenged and Justice Dept.-employed, I am joking. I'm not so sure about Robertson and Joel Mowbray.] (Link plucked from LRC blog.)
Perle’s Prequel
Charlie Wilson's War, a recently published book by George Crile, tells the story of "the largest covert operation in history," the US government's multi-billion (yes, billion with a 'b') dollar secret program to aid the Afghan mujahideen in the '80s. There is some...
Freedom Fighter, Terrorist, Whatever
Read this Ralph Peters op-ed on Bush getting cozy with the Turks. Judas drove a hard bargain compared to President Bush. At least the great betrayer got 30 pieces of silver. All Bush is going to get for delivering the Kurds unto their enemies will be 10,000 Turkish...
Nine Killed in Iraq Suicide Blast, Diplomat Murdered
Is this really news? Isn't a soldier painting a school or helping an old lady across the street somewhere in Iraq? Damned liberal media.
The American Spectator Responds
From Jeremy Lott: No one has been purged. Bovard hasn't written many articles for the Prowler version of the website, but what he has written appears to have gone missing in the search engine. These things happen; I'll look into it and fix it. On a related note: I...
War Street Journal: “Our Friends, the Serbs”?!
There's that old canard that no press is bad press. Certainly, with everything that's been written about them over the past decade or so, the Serbs should know that's a lie. But sometimes "good" press is excruciatingly bad press, too. Consider an October 6 editorial...
