Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
The MSM has fallen into the comforting (to it) rote of “land for peace” regarding the Israel/Hezbollah conflict. After all, this worked wonderfully in the media for the past 20 years when they were reporting about the Israeli Palestinian conflict. So well, that they were utterly unperturbed when Israel gave

Continue readingBall bearings. Ball bearings aimed at civilians are disproportionate force: The charred, dismembered bodies, and blood splattered against a stone wall, turned the stomachs of hardened emergency service workers. “Even in this war I have not seen a sight like this,” said Eli Peretz, an ambulance driver. “The wounded people
Continue readingI’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 readingIt always amazes me when AP still pretends it’s a news outlet, rather than an anti-American propaganda machine. How’s this for an article: Do you believe in Iraqi “WMD”? Did Saddam Hussein’s government have weapons of mass destruction in 2003? Half of America apparently still thinks so, a new poll
Continue readingLet’s see. In the last week, Iran, an UN member nation, has (once again, ’cause it’s done it before) called for the destruction of Israel, another UN member nation. Now, Iran, an UN member nation (although God alone knows why) admits that it is supplying long range missiles to a
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 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 readingIn a comment to one of my posts, someone suggested that there is proof positive that Israel is the bad guy in all this — Human Rights Watch has condemned it. Clearly, when an organization dedicated to watching out for Human Rights condemns Israel, Israel must be at fault, right?
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 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
