Weapons Grade Uranium Siezed on the Road to Iraq.
Any questions about running out of time, while the UN and the Democrats dither?

The New Republic on algore
Once again the center left magazine gets it right on the Democratic party, and most especially algore.

A Voice From The Past
Victor Davis Hanson teaches the classics. Here is a wonderful look at the present through the eyes of an ancient Greek general, Thucydides. Tough reading, but well worth it. This essay was originally published on 11/27/01.

Dick Morris on algore
Once again Dick Morris proves himself one of the most astute political analysts in the country.
Here's my favorite quote:
The way to get a Democrat to destroy his own chances of winning is to get his liberal constituency hot and angry and lead it to demand that its representatives stand up and be counted for a liberal, unpopular position. It was just such a quandary that led Mike Dukakis into his famous opposition to the death penalty in the 1988 election and that enticed Hillary ever leftward on health care in 1994.

And That Brings Us to Today
Tom Daschle had what's being called a meltdown on the Senate floor today. Here's a transcript, and here is the President's words that got Mr Daschle all hot and bothered.
This is not so much a response to Mr Bush, but a response to algore! It's about Democratic Presidential politics, and trying desperately to hold on to the Senate in November. It's also a response to multiple liberal pundits who are asking what the heck the Democratic stands for, and when will they start standing up for it. The latest is David Broder, Monday in the Washington Post. This follows on the heels of the devastating article a couple of weeks ago in The New Republic.
I wish I was an editorial cartoonist on days like today. The picture would be the HMS Titanic, with Joe Lieberman as lookout, screaming, "Iceberg Dead Ahead!" Algore as Captain Smith, screaming "Steer hard left!" and Tom Daschle as the helmsman turning the wheel as far left as it goes. This week, with algore and Daschle, we may well have seen the pacifist Democrats hitting the iceberg. Oh, and the name on the iceberg? Iraq.

The Contrast
An amazing contrast to Algore is the speech Tony Blair made before The British House of Commons. This is just an exerpt of the speech. Here is the complete Iraq Dossier directly from 10 Downing Street. Take note of the satellite photography of the chemical and biological weapons factories. And where does the money come from to pay for the proof presented by our friends the British? According to The Wall Street Journal, from The United Nations.
Here's the first paragraph:
Who is Saddam Hussein's biggest business partner?
The United Nations. The same U.N. whose secretary-general, Kofi Annan, stands as one of the chief ditherers over removing Saddam. Here are the ingredients of a conflict of interest.
Continue the story. It will reinforce the President's case for possible unilateral action.

Oh Where to Begin, Where to Begin?
Well, let's start with Algore. He gave a speech on Monday. A left speech. A faaaar left speech. Here's Michael Kelly's comments. My favorite paragraph:
Gore's speech was one no decent politician could have delivered. It was dishonest, cheap, low. It was hollow. It was bereft of policy, of solutions, of constructive ideas, very nearly of facts -- bereft of anything other than taunts and jibes and embarrassingly obvious lies. It was breathtakingly hypocritical, a naked political assault delivered in tones of moral condescension from a man pretending to be superior to mere politics. It was wretched. It was vile. It was contemptible. But I understate.
He then proceeds to give examples to back up just how understated the above paragraph was.
There is no way I could say it any better.

Campus Politics
What a wonderful editorial on the far left radicalism of college professors and administrators. This site keeps track of the liberal agenda on college campuses across the country.

Your Iraq Questions Answered
Victor Davis Hanson answers the questions being raised. Worth reading, since you won't hear the answers in the mainstream media.
By the way, if you haven't picked up his book, An Autumn of War, what are you waiting for?

On Being an American
Daniel Henninger makes a strong case for bringing back the Melting Pot. And sadly, if you are under 30, you have no idea what that is.
That's the point.

Democrat Scandals
If you look close, you see this story is on page 5 of the Washington Post. Had this same almost three quarter of a million dollar fine been on the Republicans, what page do you suppose it would be on? And in what glaring 20 point headline?

A Just War
This is a well thought out exposition on the theology of a just war.
And here is a link to President Bush's resolution, speaking of just wars.

Proof We Are At War
A phrase has crept into our national vocabulary since 9/11/01. "Waiting for the other shoe to drop." We all know what it means, and we are all waiting, even as we go about our routine. Waiting, just a little anxious. Wondering when the shoe will drop....

An Historic Ten Days
Few of us are aware of just how much the debate has changed on Iraq in just ten days. Fred Barnes is right in calling it a masterful performance.

The Jews Kept McKinney and Company from Winning Their Primaries
And here I thought it was their idiotic, race baiting, anti American talk before the primaries.

The President's Poll Numbers
Remember the Clintonistas' cry during impeachment, "The American People want...." and then they'd bring out their polls. Well, where are the Clintonistas now?
