More on the IG firing from Instapundit (note the banner color!): It looks very suspicious. The administration has overtly interfered with the IG in his investigation, and now has tried to fire him, apparently for reporting to Congress. If so, then the White House has abused its power on behalf of a campaign contributor and [...]

Will our President lead or dither? About Iran — The Wall Street Journal comments: Having shown such courage, the demonstrators deserve Western support, not least from the media that have recently trumpeted the Mousavi candidacy as evidence of Iran’s openness and potential for reform, conciliation and so on.

Just this week, Jeremiah Wright, the president’s longtime mentor and pastor, whined that “Them Jews aren’t going [...]

Victor Davis Hanson: There is some value to the present irony. Erstwhile U.S. allies can begin to fathom the wages of their much-desired “post-American world.” It appears that it wasn’t George W. Bush’s Manicheanism that “played into the hands” of Mr. Ahmadinejad, who now has a fresh lease on power, despite the U.S. charm offensive [...]
