Democrats for Defeat

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

TigerHawk thinks so: From the perspective of Democratic political strategy, the worst possible result would be partial success — for conditions in Iraq to improve significantly and palpably, but not decisively. That would guarantee that Iraq would remain a central theme in the 2008 campaign, not just as fodder for attacks on Republican “incompetence,” but [...]

Jeb 2008?

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

Video here — Jeb introduced by Ed Gillespie.

Romney 2008

Sunday, January 28th, 2007

Video here — Mitt introduced by Mark Steyn. UPDATE: While NRO was a bit disappointed (video above was a bit wonky), this speech snippet from Israel is excellent.

Pioneers Remembered

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Apollo 1. Exactly 40 years later, the three Apollo astronauts who were killed in that flash fire were remembered Saturday for paving the way for later astronauts to be able to travel to the moon. The deaths of Virgil “Gus” Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee forced NASA to take pause in its space race [...]

Nuclear Iran

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

What are we going to do? TEHRAN, Iran – Iran is currently installing 3,000 centrifuges at a uranium enrichment plant, an Iranian lawmaker said Saturday, a day after a senior U.S. diplomat warned that the country’s plans to accelerate its nuclear program “would be a major miscalculation.”

Dark Side of Environmentalism

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

This will either make you furious or laugh (or, like me, both). Rich Westerners telling folks their poverty is quaint and they should love it. Selfish arrogance at its best.

John Kerry The Embarrassment

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

John Kerry in his element — calling the United States “an international pariah” and rubbing shoulders with international sweethearts. Hot Air has priceless video. UPDATE: Michelle notes the anger: Words. Cannot. Describe. My anger. Right now. UPDATE II: John Kerry on the cover in Iran.

Sign The Pledge

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

Here. If the United States Senate passes a resolution, non-binding or otherwise, that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq that General Petraeus has asked for and that the president has pledged, and if the Senate does so after the testimony of General Petraeus on January 23 that such a resolution will be an [...]

Take the Pledge for Victory

Wednesday, January 24th, 2007

Hugh Hewitt is on a mission: If the United States Senate passes a resolution, non-binding or otherwise, that criticizes the commitment of additional troops to Iraq that General Petraeus has asked for and that the president has pledged, and if the Senate does so after the testimony of General Petraeus on January 23 that such [...]

Clintons (and the State Department) Kiss Terrorists

Saturday, January 20th, 2007

Both figuratively and literally. . . . Well, we all know about Hillary (golly, did she just announce she is running for President?) and her infamous kiss planted on the wife of the departed PLO henchman Arafat. And we all know how Arafat was President Clinton’s most frequent foreign guest. What many do not know [...]
