Beat me to it, Doubter - obviously we've been hanging out at the same blogs lately. Everyone who opposed the war and thinks of him- or herself as "on the left" or generally in support of "progressive" causes and values needs to read the entire essay...

He did this the last time the refugee issue came up. I'm not sure whether he's being impertinent or intentionally misleading, or is just confused - or perhaps has reformed and is now trying to provide arguments for the American side. The last may seem unlikely, but it might also explain why...

Big surprise: msfe links to two sites associated with Dr. Marc Herold, whose triple-counting innumeracy has made him and his followers laughingstocks. His and "bodycount.org"'s methods often insure that guerillas are counted as civilians, that no distinction is made between casualties...

First of all they weren't my words, they were Mark Steyn's, not that I have any trouble with them as political advice. Second of all, you still haven't responded to the last several times your false accusations were taken apart. You keep on saying "fraud" or "liar," but you're the fraud and...

Bush playing his cards right in Iraq July 27, 2003 BY MARK STEYN SUN-TIMES COLUMNIST Timing is everything. On Tuesday--that would be Qusai Odai Tuesday--Dick Gephardt made a speech in San Francisco and gave us the benefit of his take on Bush's war: ''He chose the wrong backdrop for...

Yeah, den Beste is good, but I think that he seizes upon his 'interesting" idea - that the Bush Administration couldn't share its "real" strategy with the public and the world - and overdoes it. The strategy and the larger goal of turning the Arab world upside down have been out there for...

[ Won't get fooled again? In general, a fool is always already fooled, whatever the subject - as when, before the war, Tisdall was urgently quoting predictions of "10 million" Iraqis going hungry, "up to 100,000 Iraqis [becoming] casualties, and "another 400,000 being affected by...

msfe probably thinks the the 94% were right - if not too hard on the Germans. He gives the distinct impression in his posts that he considers the US (then and now) and Nazi Germany to be equivalent. Speaking of polls, those Die Zeit polls on Germans' thoughts about 9/11 that have gotten so...

(from Betrayal or Strategy? Is Bush regressing toward Oslo or advancing on the Elon road, ultimatly? This is the question that Barbara Lerner poses in NRO. Truly breathtaking. Last Stop on the Oslo Road? Deciphering W.’s vision. By Barbara Lerner via...

Pitt did better on the population number than on some of his other "facts." On population, he was merely off by a few tens of millions. On other items in his "Should the Heavens Fall" screed, he appears to be lying. Elsewhere, he satisfies himself with making broad, manipulative statements...

' You're welcome. I posted it and the Holocaust material to help put the Dresden firebombing - clearly one of the worst operations ever carried about the US - as well as much of the rest of this discussion in some context. We've lost some 200 soldiers in Iraq, in the process of seeking...

I don't recall the President or anyone else calling a GC foul over the photos of dead Americans and Brits that showed on some Arab TV stations and the internet. They did call GC fouls on other events. As for "acceptable public display of dead war criminals," as has been pointed out by the DOD...

From http://www.nationalreview.com/hanson/hanson072503.asp These are still perilous times. But if anyone on September 12, 2001, had predicted that 22 months later there would still be no repeat of 9/11; that bin Laden would be either quiet, dead, or in hiding; that al Qaeda would be...

July 23, 2003 Quagmire Index Revised to Reflect Death of Saddam Sons (2003-07-23) -- Now that Saddam Hussein's sons are dead, a panel of journalists has revised the official Iraq Quagmire Index. According to the new benchmark, all violence against Coalition troops should cease immediately...

More unflattering than at least two suicide-related hospitalizations and apparently at least three suicide-related episodes in the last six months?

The Geneva Conventions do not apply to this case - except where they call for proper burial or cremation of the dead. The question of public displays, humiliation, etc., apply to prisoners, not to casualties. I can understand, as a human being, why the Pentagon, on behalf of its people...

The principles of the Hamas are stated in their Covenant or Charter, given in full below. Following are highlights. "Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it." "The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the...

Backing Hitler Consent and Coercion in Nazi Germany ROBERT GELLATELY A disturbing look at the true extent to which ordinary Germans knew about the Gestapo and the death camps Debate still rages over how much ordinary Germans knew about the concentration camps and the Gestapo's activities...
