Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
I’ve been getting a fair amount of hostile comments regarding an earlier post in which I discussed an AP story that accused half the American population for being delusional because it belived that Iraq did have WMDs. I’ve updated that post to support my belief that Iraq had WMDs at
Continue readingWith Qana, which is beginning to look remarkably like a staged event, not an Israeli massacre of children, Hezbollah managed to switch wavering world sympathy to its side (not too hard a task, considering world hostility to Israel). Lee Smith, writing for the Week Standard, suggests that Hezbollah might have
Continue readingWhen countries are in decay, whether because of self-inflicted economic wounds or because of external factors, something is always better than nothing. Hitler, in part because of his rampant spending on weapons, was billed as having saved the German economy. Mussolini was touted for having gotten Italy’s famously flakey trains
Continue readingHezbollah claimed some more Arab lives, this time killing three Bedouin women from one family: Residents of Arab al-Aramshe find it difficult to comprehend disaster in which mother, her two daughters were killed as Katyusha rocket hit their house yard. One of daughter recently got engaged. ‘We can’t believe we
Continue readingVisit this PowerLine post to see a video that the Israelis periodically manage to get hacked into Lebanese TV. I know American soldiers would love to see something like this done in Iraq against Al Qaeda and Co., but we’re too PC. As John, at PowerLine says, he’s not sure
Continue readingEngland used to be a fairly wonderful place. For one thing, with that blessed wet climate, it’s just so doggone pretty. Spring in England is a sight to see. England also used to stand for a really high degree of civilization. It prided itself on setting high standards for its
Continue readingHat tip: From Neptunus Lex, via Best of the Web Today And, just in case anyone needs a reminder that this is not just Israeli propaganda, I direct your attention to a recent about Israeli soldiers protecting Lebanese women and children who were being hammered by Hezbollah file, and to
Continue readingIsrael has, for years, had missiles rain down upon her, and suicide bombers work from within. Since her inception, every Arab nation has called for her destruction and the death of her citizens. In the last year, her Arab neighbors have given her the gift of more than 2,000 missiles
Continue readingI learned through PowerLine that Ehud Olmert, in an interview with the London Times, has compellingly taken on the disproportionate force argument, as well as the impossible to prove claim that Israel has somehow managed, in Lebanon, to kill only civilians, without taking out any of the Hezbollah fighters hiding
Continue readingEveryone right now is defining Hezbollah through the war it’s having with Israel. Americans, especially certain Democratic Congressmen, are conveniently forgetting that, before Hezbollah focused its energies on arming itself against Israel, and before Al Qaeda upstaged it on 9/11, Hezbollah was the terrorist organization responsible for killing the greatest
Continue readingHere are just a few videos that the Israeli military has released showing Hezbollah terrorists firing missiles at Israel. In each case, the videos show that Hezbollah was using civilian buildings as launching pads. It’s entirely possible that when Israel took out these military targets, civilians unlucky enough to have
Continue readingThe Hydra of mythology was a fearsome multi-headed monster. One of its great strengths was the fact that, if you severed one of its heads, another head (or maybe more than one) would grow in its place. Nevertheless, the Hydra could be defeated. Here’s one version of how Hercules defeated
Continue reading[NGA, as opposed to the familiar NGO, is not a typo. I’ll explain in a minute.] I had lunch with DQ today and, at his request, gave him a run-down of Israel’s history, starting with Herzl and modern Zionism. I took him through the Eastern European pogroms; the declining Ottoman
Continue readingIt seems that our credulous press, always the first to believe any bad story about Israel, was once again hoodwinked by the Hezbollah propaganda machine. While it’s true (and tragic) that children died in Qana, it’s becoming equally clear that (a) not as many died as were first claimed (and
Continue readingA child’s death is always a tragedy, but this SF Chron report about Qana sounds like a Hezbollah PR office press release: The tiny, lifeless bodies were laid out in a row on a black straw sheet in the concrete courtyard of the Tyre Government Hospital. Twenty-one of them, all
