Great job, Mr. Prez

Very well delivered, strong, potent speech. I’m glad he made it. The need to shore up support here at home and to reassure the troops was extremely crucial. Doubtful it will calm the usual suspects but nevertheless I think he said what needed to be said: There will be no timetable, times are tough but [...]

 

Terrorism then and now

Posted by: ST on June 24, 2005 at 10:38 pm » Comments Off

.!. A fantastic post from Varifrank on the differences in terrorism between 2001 and now. He sums it up with this: We are clearly winning this war. However the western press and its desire to paint history in its own dark twisted vision of self loathing and disaster will simply not allow any good news [...]

 

Ouch

.!. Yesterday I blogged about what, according to some news accounts, is the fastest propagating virus in history: the Zotob worm. Well, I just read a message from Jim over at bRight and Early where he talked about the fact that the company he worked for was one of the many infected with this yesterday. [...]

.!. Sorry guys … last couple of days has seen me too busy to blog much. Today will likely be the same. I’ll return to regular blogging either this evening or tomorrow.

I could say more but Cavalier X pretty much sums it up for me. Make sure to read the whole thing. 6/25/05 UPDATE: Gov. Pataki seems to have the situation covered. Bravo!

 

Dems just keep stepping in it

Rangel has compared Iraq to the Holocaust. Kennedy has compared the Abu Ghraib incidents with the slaughter of hundreds of thousands under the rule of Saddam Hussein. Amnesty International said Guatanamo Bay is a modern day gulag. Now, there’s Senator Dick Durbin (emphasis added by me – link opens as a PDF file): On one [...]

 

How are you feeling now, tough guy?

.!. (To commemorate the anniversary of the fall of Baghdad – sorry, I’m a little late). Thanks to our fighting forces, the coalition, and the Iraqis who’ve fought along side them. THEN: Wednesday, 17 July, 2002, 11:40 GMT 12:40 UK: Saddam scorns threats to Iraq Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein has said that “evil tyrants and [...]

Yes, words DO have meaning

Posted by: ST on June 9, 2005 at 8:21 pm » 3 Comments

This is a big pet peeve of mine: changing the meaning of a word via faulty comparisons so much that the true meaning of the word gets diluted. An example, to me, would be of comparisons of Bush or Clinton to Hitler. Neither are remotely close the being like the worst dictator we’ve seen in [...]

 

How to support the troops: by Charlie Rangel

Posted by: ST on June 9, 2005 at 7:42 pm » 1 Comment

How, you might ask? Why, you make the Iraq war morally equivalent to the Holocaust, that’s how! Powerful lawmaker Charlie Rangel has provoked the ire of the Anti-Defamation League by likening U.S. military action in Iraq to the Holocaust of World War II. The Iraq war “is the biggest fraud ever committed on the people [...]
