These bizarre, frightful incidents illustrate the bottomless depravity
of America's chief enemy in Iraq. This is a glimpse of how Iraq could
look if U.S. forces prematurely withdrew, and the bad guys returned.
This also is a cautionary tale of the insanity that likely would erupt
wherever al-Qaeda or any of its allies gained power.
Finally, al-Qaeda's chilling tenure in Mosul and elsewhere in Iraq
puts the lie to the notion that Islamofascists merely are defending
themselves against America's allegedly over-assertive foreign policy
and Israel's supposed anti-Muslim menace. Combating ice, cucumbers,
and wedding gowns has nothing to do with the policies of the Pentagon
or the Knesset. It's all about building a bridge to the 7th century.
Victor Davis Hanson as always has a very readable post.
More on a cynical Pol using the emotions of the masses to trick them
regardless of the actual facts.
"Editing History"
Obama's campaign has been editing his website. Removing, without explination, his remarks saying the Surge wouldn’t work.
"Yes, this will help dispel the recent "flip-flopper" talk."
From Glen Reynolds "I tried to check the Google Cache of his site,
but, interestingly, his site doesn't cache in Google. How
convenient.... It was the audacity of hopelessness, and it was a
miserable failure. He's counting on the press to make sure nobody
notices."
A couple days out of date, but still very interesting.
In a dramatic move yesterday President Bush removed the
executive-branch moratorium on offshore drilling. Today, at a news
conference, Bush repeated his new position, and slammed the Democratic
Congress for not removing the congressional moratorium on the Outer
Continental Shelf and elsewhere. Crude-oil futures for August delivery
plunged $9.26, or 6.3 percent, almost immediately as Bush was
speaking, bringing the barrel price down to $136.
Now isn't this interesting?
Democrats keep saying that it will take 10 years or longer to produce
oil from the offshore areas. And they say that oil prices won't
decline for at least that long. And they, along with Obama and McCain,
bash so-called oil speculators. And today we had a real-world example
as to why they are wrong. All of them. Reid, Pelosi, Obama, McCain —
all of them.
This shows a massive ignorance on how commodities are priced and how
their value fluctuates, and yet the democrats (and many republicans)
want *more* control over our economy.
Fun with Google Maps on Iranian sites. Its really amazing the power avaliable to an individual person now. This used to be just the domain of nation-states, but now anyone can do it.
