Although I'd prefer to let the Cindy Sheehan dog lie, we did get this email that I thought worth sharing with the author's permission. The story that is being told by the left and the right is purely a media...

Instapundit notes that the Anklebiters are rooting for the DLC in the coming Kos Kraziness Koundown, noting that they want a "stronger" opposition party. I'm rooting for them because I want a sane opposition party, which I guess is pretty...

The master of kinder, gentler conservativism has a good piece on the Iraqi constitution in the New York Times. A fervent critic of Bush's policies has this to say (from Baghdad): The Bush administration finally did something right in brokering...

I have no children of my own yet, but it's never too early to stock up on select children's bedtime stories: Help! Mom! There are Liberals Under My Bed!...

Captain's Quarters has about the most thorough and detailed treatment of the Able Danger situation where advance information about BinLaden and el Qaida was discovered, but then not passed to law enforcement because of an administrative wall of separation between DoD and the FBI.

As a result, 9-11 took place, and later, the 9-11 Commission was caught with their facts down, to what will be their ultimate shame, and loss of credibility due to 5 or 65 different versions of response in the week and a half the story has been out.

The inside-the-beltway media/political axis has circled the wagons big-time on this one. As it is developing, every time they have come up with some objection, it has been met, with first one, then three named sources corroborating the event(s).

Check it out for the whole run down. This one has legs.

Why does China need that navy?

The new commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Adm. Gary Roughhead, an interested onlooker of the joint Chinese-Russian military maneuvers during the past eight days, has posed a critical question about the rapidly modernizing Chinese navy: "What do [the Chinese] see as the intended use of that navy?

If that navy "is to ensure the free flow of commerce, that would not be surprising," he said, nodding toward the sea lanes in the South China and East China seas through which pass the oil and raw materials that feed China's expanding economy, not to mention its soaring exports. The admiral added, however: "What if the intent is not purely to defend the sea lanes?" He left the question open.

Indeed. That IS the question.

I wonder if he'll be upset all over again when MoveOn.org slaps this in an ad? Earlier the same day in Lincoln, an elderly woman asked about Iraq. "Why are we there in the first place?" she asked. On Tuesday...

Liberals expand scope of attack on Roberts

Liberals have broadened their attack on federal Judge John G. Roberts Jr. beyond just his position on abortion to include accusations of a more general hostility toward women and privacy.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! Who would have ever expected such a thing! Shocking, simply shocking - unless of course one remembers that libDonks will be libDonks - it's just what they DO!
