Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
When two people leave me messages saying I must, absolutely must, read a movie review, I take that seriously. I therefore headed over to the Washington Post and read the review for Ant Bully. I can now tell you that you must, absolutely must, read the Ant Bully review. Even

Continue readingSince I can’t say it better, I won’t try. Here’s just the opening of Charles Krauthammer’s most recent column about the world pile-up against Israel and what Israel should do it about it: What other country, when attacked in an unprovoked aggression across a recognized international frontier, is then put

Continue readingI’ve rather slacked off on blogging about the war. I’ve made my position very clear, and am only dragging in stories that particularly catch my eye. At Seraphic Secret, however, Robert Avrech is blogging up a storm about the war itself, and about coverage of the war. Since he’s an
Continue readingI love NY Times bashing, in part because I think it’s a dreadfully misguided paper that has way too much reach, and in part because it’s a cheap and easy target, and I don’t always have the time or energy to make subtle arguments against more challenging targets. What I
Continue readingI’ve heard a lot in the past week or so about the underground tunnels Hezbollah has built all along Lebanon’s southern (and Israel’s northern) border. These reports led me to wonder why Israel, which has a very well equipped army, didn’t have bunker busters, of the type we heard about
Continue readingWhat’s the big deal, many ask? Hezbollah and Hamas kidnapped some Israeli soldiers, turning them into prisoners, and they’ll readily release these prisoners if Israel, in turn, will release some prisoners it holds. It all sounds so beautifully symmetrical. Except it’s not. The kidnapped Israeli soldiers had done absolutely nothing

So much so that CENTCOM, rather than sending out a series of individual press releases, resorted to sending out a bunch of intriguing summaries that interested people may

Olmert is fighting a war on two
