Executive summary of this NYT article (the Hot Air Headlines title is a thing of beauty, by the way) Harold Koh used to be opposed to the Bush administration, and was thus all about busily opposing the government, and its ‘undeclared’ (note scare quotes) wars. Harold Koh is now part of the Obama administration (State Department), and is thus all about busily justifying the government, | Read More »
I (and Legal Insurrection) AM NOT MAKING THIS UP. It all has to do with that flotilla that antiwar activists are putting together to help notorious terrorist group Hamas out in the Gaza strip via a little blockade-running; turns out the Greeks have impounded a number of the boats, so 0ur favorite Useful Idiots are calling for antiwar activists to call up the State Department | Read More »
Below I’m going to answer some questions asked by the Brittanica Blog (via Instapundit), in the order that they were given at the end of a blog post. To give the background, the author of said blog post has noticed something that the rest of you knew already: based on recent events, the Democratic party never really gave a tinker’s dam about the Iraq War | Read More »
People like Andrew Sullivan were dumb rubes to actually believe that any functional candidate for President would actually believe in the progressive anti-war strategy (let alone implement it, once they were in office), and you told them so. Heck, I told them so – admittedly, when I wrote that it was before the financial meltdown turned what had been a moderately tough election campaign cycle | Read More »
OK. I need to apologize in advance for this video footage, given that it ends with some pretty foul things said about the wife of the Israeli Prime Minister. While I think that it’s important that people see what kind of attitudes and language is considered acceptable by the antiwar movement, I also recognize that actually being exposed to it without warning is unfair to | Read More »
Glenn Reynolds, on watching yet another babbling leftist idiot* snap out of it and realize that he was fed antiwar porn by the current administration: This keeps happening. Ah, but remember when you now-disappointed Obama supporters were lecturing us about the fierce moral urgency of change? With such overweening self-righteousness? Even as you resolutely failed to look at what was going on, or to inquire | Read More »
…(as can be found via here) is someone who has forgotten, or never knew, that the phrase “Not In Our Name” originated as a slogan against the liberation of Afghanistan. in other words: I’ve known for half a decade that the antiwar movement lies when it suits them, so I was hardly surprised when the mask slipped on this one. Contemptuous, but hardly surprised. In | Read More »
While I agree with Tim Blair that karma is… kind of entertaining, sometimes… I think that the most important thing that should be taken away from this video is the frustration and worry in our soldiers’ voices as they try to line up a shot that doesn’t endanger either a kid, or some guy just walking along. By the way: using kids like this is | Read More »
By now, you’ve probably read Stranahan’s little attempt at self-justification for cheering on the death of American troops (you can read it via Glenn Reynolds, if you must: it’s not worth the direct link to a pro-torture site*) by seeking to associate it to Limbaugh’s often-repeated observation that he wants Obama’s economic plans to fail. I’d just like to establish this point for the record: | Read More »
I read with some interest this article which describes a supposed Blue-on-Blue fight looming over the upcoming reduction of troops: Congressional Democrats’ misgivings about President Barack Obama’s plan to reduce troop levels in Iraq has set the stage for potentially major conflicts between Capitol Hill and the White House in the months ahead. Obama’s announcement Friday that he will leave between 35,000 and 50,000 troops | Read More »
Whipped ones, in fact, as Environmental Republican demonstrates (via Glenn Reynolds). You see, he went looking for the Usual Antiwar Suspects’ outrage at the drone strikes in Pakistan, and discovered… well, that apparently it wasn’t really worth noting at all, really. His conclusion? So what con we surmise from this little investigation? How about the left-wing of this country is populated with hypocritical ideologues who | Read More »
I’m given to understand that it’s just not the same when you’re chasing a gentile*. Mind you, he got away. That’s because the part of Bob Kerrey’s leg that was left behind in Vietnam is of more intrinsic value to society than a member of the antiwar movement, and is almost certainly still in better physical shape: A little after 11:30 p.m., Mr. Kerrey emerged | Read More »
Credit where credit is due. Whoever at the DNC who came up with this fillip of utter contempt for the antiwar movement deserves a raise: Invesco protest zone to be in VIP parking lot The protest zone at Invesco Field on the final night of the Democratic National Convention will be located in a VIP parking lot north of the stadium, and will have a | Read More »
A joke. Via Drunkblog, Gateway Pundit, and AoSHQ: DNC concerns: Did protesters plan to throw urine? DENVER (KJCT) — A new kind of warning has come up about protesters gearing up for the Democratic National Convention. Denver firefighters have learned of a house full of urine being stored to throw at police. An internal memo is warning first responders that disgusting acts are a significant | Read More »
Via AoSHQ: See also Wolking’s World Remember, folks: Obama supporters. In all of their glory. Moe Lane PS: Hey, he was the one who chose to ally himself with some of the nastiest organized groups in Western society still unhung. He wants to break with those people, he can do so publicly. Until then, when it comes to Iraq: Not In Your Name, Senator Obama. | Read More »
In some ways, some of the comments to the article below (via Instapundit are the best part: Rules on tools could handcuff DNC protesters Items to thwart police, like chains, would be barred The prospect of protesters linking themselves with devices that bolt cutters can’t sever or throwing buckets of feces on police has Denver considering putting a new law on the books before the | Read More »
Pejman, as is his wont, has collected a couple of the more trenchant objections to Obama’s fairly silly op-ed. Feel free to check them out; it’ll save me time, because I really want to bring up the following two observations: First off, “Senator Obama” – not that I would suggest that somebody wrote this for you, although in the end you might – did you | Read More »
The New York Times passed a grim milestone last Friday: it was the year anniversary of one of their most embarrassing editorials ever (Via Gateway Pundit). The Road Home It is time for the United States to leave Iraq, without any more delay than the Pentagon needs to organize an orderly exit. {snip} When Congress returns this week, extricating American troops from the war should | Read More »
