Quoting from my transcript of previously unreleased footage from Mohammed Sifaoui, the journalist who broke the news of Imam Ahmed Akkari’s death threats against Naser Khader. Imam Abu […]
Don Surber: Righties Owe The Post An Apology. Big Time
And so in the end the immature, inexperienced plagiarist turns out to be an ingrate as well. His ill-tempered defense at RedState.org included a passage blaming his critics for his plagiarism and calling a racial icon. They went back to things I wrote when I was […]
We Do NOT Want to Go There
Now many Sunnis, who used to be the most anti-American community in Iraq, are asking for American help.
“If the Americans leave, we are finished,” said Hassan al-Azawi, whose brother was taken from the pet shop.
No. No. No. NO!

A Gallup news release today includes a table comparing the approval ratings of the president, congress, and the change in the number of seats in the House in midterm elections going back to 1974. The data indicate there is a stronger correlation between the presdient’s […]

Under […]

The Navy is sending a friend of ours to Iraq. Not terribly unusual, I suppose, but perhaps given his usual job… Yep, that’s right. Me, a navy guy — a submarine driver, even — tapped for a tour of duty in the desert carrying around an M-16. Who would have […]
TBogg insists that Bush & Cheney told us Iraq was involved in 9/11
The Left’s nastiest blogger goes after Hinderaker, on the old question of whether or not the administration claimed Saddam was involved in the 9/11 attacks. He quotes Hinderaker’s refutation, and then “puts the hammer down.”
Thinking to myself that TPrikk will dredge up […]
