Hard core conservatives may need to face some facts: they bet all on fighting their President in 2006 and ended up losing big in the Congress. The risk here is the far right get’s the wrong message from this public rebuke. The example is best seen in a piece out by Robert Novak: New York-based […]

Ed Morrisey writes today on the new Taliban Leader, Mullah Dadullah, who is eclipsing Mullah Omar and possibly even Bin Laden in the Afghan-Pakistan region. Let’s just say I have not found people who have rhyming names all that effective. Morrissey rightfully points out the Islamo Fascists are typically three quarters faux bluster. But this […]

An interesting glimpse into the Libby trial deliberations has come out as the essence of the jury’s aborted question to Judge Walton has been made public: Jurors seemed to want to know whether the charge hinges on whether Libby’s version of the conversation is true or whether what he told Cooper was true. As Walton […]

I always wondered why the Chechen terrorists, just a day after Litvinenko died, named him a martyr for the Chechen cause. It was one of the indicators that Litvinenko was more likely smuggling Po-210 to Putin’s enemies than being the target of a Po-210 armed Putin assassin. How a Russian could become a Muslim martyr […]

It was only a matter of time before the Iraqi’s would realize they were the ones dyinig for Jihad, not the Americans or the Iraqi government. The fact is al Qaeda has killed more Muslims than anyone in this global conflict, and they are fast approaching the level of bloodshed only a few, like Saddam […]

The Democrats, having retreated in full from their attempts to (1) push non-binding legislation conveying their opposition to try and win in Iraq, (2) failed debates on whether to just defund the war and (3) the to the “slow bleed” (which Murtha a coined, not Reps) strategy – which is a plan to leave our […]

A failed attempt to kill Cheney was not only a disappointment to the lunatic fringe on the left, but now a clear sign we should run away from the fledgling democracy now in Afghanistan (as well as run away from Iraq). Why is it the left are so weak kneed at the same time their […]

If I had to guess (and I am not a finance expert) it is possible the worst of the global correction is over. It started in China and hit here, averaging 3% everywhere. The last of the markets are being hit now. Japan’s index started 3% down and seems to be levelling off (possibly too […]

An interesting comment from Andre Lugovoi in recent days has me thinking the UK investigation may be hedging its bets into how Litvinenko ended up poisoned by Po-210: Law-enforcement bodies of Russia and Great Britain are investigating 3 criminal cases at once, all of which concern Alexander Litvinenko’s poisoning, said former KGB officer Andrei Lugovoi, […]

ABC News’ The Blotter is going to need to do some serious research and corrections if the story they ran about a pending Y2K like disaster is as bad as I think it is. I do systems engineering of larger, distributed systems, most of which have something to do with Space (but not all). And […]
