George Turner over at his Bastardsword blog, proposes this Counter Argument: I'm sure you've all seen the quotes from babbling Blix and assorted other ass biscuits about how the sarin chemical gas shell that was used as an IED must've been some kind of bizarre fluke. Here's another way to look at it. Iraq is apparently the only country where WMDs are so common that our soldiers can get attacked

An excellent article by Captain Ed at Captain's Quarters blog, shows the relevent arguments of the two authors, then proposes a fabulously on-target observation: It seems to me that both arguments have put the cart before the horse. For one thing, you cannot have representative democracy without taking a census of the electorate, something which cannot have been completed in the current

This should be stapled to the collective forehead of the Bush campaign staff. ....The American media is now acting as a fifth column, just as it did in Vietnam. The press is adamantly opposed to President Bush and the Iraq policy. Ergo, it "reports" the story to make the thing look far worse than it is. Hence the administration is losing the information war. The most glaring example is the fact

Interesting graph here. Scroll down to near the bottom of this report, then take a look at the responses for the one-word to describe each candidate. Emerson's View: How come noone says Kerry is Honest?

"Last week, John S. Carroll, editor of the Los Angeles Times, delivered a lecture during "Ethics Week" of the Society of Professional Journalists. The speaker has not yet been announced for "Abstinence Week" of the Society of Professional Whores." Ann Coulter Emerson's View: I wish she would write more often. She is a fantastic counter-punch to hordes of Democrat/Liberal mis-information

The Washington Times Inside The Beltway For May 12 Has this little tidbit:President Bush is no news junkie, or so he informs The Washington Times senior White House correspondent Bill Sammon. "I don't watch the nightly newscasts on TV, nor do I watch the endless hours of people giving their opinion about things," Mr. Bush says in one of several intriguing chapters of Mr. Sammon's new book, "

My son-in-law is a Staff Sargeant in the U.S. Army and is currently stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan. He is an MP, and has promised to send updates on the action there as soon as he can. He has sent a couple of pictures already, but I have to wait for his longer e-mail with his view from the ground. I'll post the pictures when I post his e-mail.

P. David Hornik of The American Spectator comments on Abu Ghraib and the Useless Idiots: "Experts fear 'dirty bomb' attack in U.S., Europe." Thus spake a story featured Sunday in the Los Angeles Times and headlined on Yahoo News, where I spotted it. While a dirty bomb "would not cause the death and destruction of a nuclear weapon," experts say it would "produce some fatalities, radiation

Kerry mentions McCain as possible replacement for Rumsfeld. I wonder how long these two (Kerry and McCain) can continue to milk this. In all fairness, Kerry also mentions Carl Levin, so this must be a joke. Right?

The implication intended, of course, to mean that Rumsfeld backs the prisoner abuse. Wankers.
