Eric Holder on Obama's Veep Search Committee
So Sen. Obama, who is trying to distance himself from the Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, has named to his Vice Presidential Search Committee Eric Holder ... the top Clinton Justice Department official who was deeply enmeshed in the disgraceful pardons granted by President ...Read More...

Political Correctness Defined
At Jihad Watch, Robert Spencer reports on the wisdom of DHS's Charles Allen and his objection to the phrase "War on Terror": “[It] has nothing to do with political correctness[.]... It is interpreted in the Muslim world as a war on Islam and we don’t need this.”
Earth ...Read More...

Islam & Anti-Semitism
A couple of years back, Dr. Andrew Bostom published The Legacy of Jihad, which was an invaluable compendium drawn from Islamic scripture and analyses by scholars and experts through the centuries. Andy has now done it again with his new book, The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism (Prometheus Books). ...Read More...

Feith, Iraq And The War On Terror
WMD was only a part — albeit an important part — of the security-threat case for removing Saddam. More importantly, it was not, by itself, sufficient to do what cried out to be done: establish a coherent nexus between our mission in Iraq and the wider war on terror.

Bobby Kennedy? Obviously, It's Operation Chaos!
I'm betting Hillary's unbelievable Bobby Kennedy gaffe is why Rush laughed off all those critics of Operation Chaos who fretted that he was inadvertently helping her get elected. Yes, USOpChaos has used Hillary's tenacity to batter Obama; but, as CINC-USOC has always known, the flip side of that ...Read More...

Obama Didn't Always Think Iran Was a "Tiny" Country the Didn't Pose a "Serious Threat to Us"
In today's Best of the Web, the WSJ's James Taranto notes that a blogger named Lance Adams found a 2004 Chicago Tribune article in which Obama sang a much different tune about Iran than the one we heard earlier this week. As James recounts, the Senator recently said:
"Iran, Cuba, Venezuela—these ...Read More...

Apparently, the Bush Administration Hasn't Explained the Real Meaning of Jihad to Pakistani Muslims Yet
Can you imagine the nerve of these people? Just because they're, like, Muslims steeped in the scriptures, we're supposed to believe they know more about Islam than the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the State Department and the Directorate of National Intelligence? Haven't they ...Read More...

So We Lose an American City or Two, So What?
Good for Sen. McCain, going after Sen. Obama like that on Iran. The Soviet Union was a superpower unlikely to attack us because retaliation would have been certain and massive. Iran may be comparatively puny, but the chance that the mullahs will actually use the weapons once they have them ...Read More...

California Same Sex Marriage Ruling
Note that all these cases in which judges, bit by bit, dictate their designer society can be spun as questions of liberty. In Casey, the Supreme Court told us (in what Justice Scalia aptly mocked as the sweet-mystery-of-life passage): “At the heart of liberty is the right ...Read More...

Headline Of The Day
My nominee for the best headline of the day comes (as it often does) from Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch:
"Saudis to Bush: No reduction of oil prices. Bush to Saudis: OK, we'll give you nukes"

President George W. Bush and King Abdullah formalized new cooperation on Friday ...Read More...

Appeasing Terrorists
The trouble is, neither Obama nor the State Department view Iran as a terror regime; they see it as a regime that has relations with terrorists which it could be reasoned out of. That's why every time the Iranians do something nasty — like murdering American troops — ...Read More...

McCain's Foreign Policy and Democracy Fetish
Like Rebecca, I don't think anything the Senator has said recently is at all surprising. As I argued in this article back in February, drawing on McCain's prior record and his comprehensive Foreign Affairs essay,
[A] McCain presidency would promise an entirely conventional, center-left, ...Read More...

What's Wrong With Conservatives?
For all of conservatism's evident virtues, it can have one furtive, seedy vice: A justified suspicion of government can degenerate into an anti-government ideology — rigid, stingy and indifferent to human suffering. --Michael Gerson
Conservatism is not the problem, it's conservatives like ...Read More...

Re: President Apostate
That is an interesting piece, but was anyone else jarred by Luttwak's assertion that "Like all monotheistic religions, Islam is an exclusive faith"?
As I understand it, monotheistic religions believe in an exclusive God; most monotheistic religions today do not, however, hold their ...Read More...

The Times' Smiley-Face Jihad for Westerners
The New York Times:
To Nader and Enad, prayer is essential. In Enad’s view, jihad is, too, not the more moderate approach that emphasizes doing good deeds, but the idea of picking up a weapon and fighting in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Jihad is not a crime; it is a duty,” ...Read More...

Dog Bites Man: Iran Backing Hezbollah's Internal Struggle for Personal Betterment in Lebanon

Israel has claimed that Iran was behind the terror group Hizbollah's armed struggle with the Lebanese government ...Read More...
