2.0 The Political Pit Bull
link0 en Copyright 2006 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 00:10:04 -0500
link1 link2 Nightcap Claudia Rossett was on Laura Ingraham's show today to talk about, what else, the UN and, more specifically, North Korea. There's a lot of good stuff in the interview but one of the more enjoyable moments is when Rossett puts a bullet through the myth that Clinton
administration's deal with North Korea was some great diplomatic achievement. As Rossett says: "that deal combined the integrity of Bill Clinton and the political savvy of Jimmy Carter." Ouch. Anyway, if you have the time, check it out. It runs about 13 minutes so it's on the longer side. ]]>
link3 link4 General Thu, 19 Oct 2006 00:10:04 -0500 The Most Inaccurate Headline Ever?
link5 Probably not, but it's up there . abcbushviet.jpg
link6 500 80 In fact, President Bush only agreed that Thomas Friedman's comparison of the current level of violence in
Iraq to the Tet offensive "could be right." That's hardly the same as him accepting the
Iraq-Vietnam comparison. But who cares right? Liberals wouldn't ignore what Bush actually said, take this headline literally, and imply that he's now admitting we've lost in
Iraq. Oh yeah,
link7 they would . And by the way, is this not the perfect example of why pro-
Iraq politicians in this country dare not veer away from their scripts? Any little concession or foray into an actual contemplation of an idea, however insignificant, is used as amunition by the opposition. It's truly depressing. Update : John Hawkins
link8 makes a really good point about the Tet comparison: What was the Tet Offensive? It was a massive offensive by the Vietcong that was, from a military standpoint, a complete and utter disaster. To say that we decimated their forces during the Tet offensive is an understatement. Yet, what happened? The mainstream media in the United States portrayed an incredible American victory as an enormous American defeat. Saying that what's going on in
Iraq is like Tet isn't an admission that it's a failure, it's a way of saying that the terrorists are losing, we're winning, and the media is botching the coverage. Of course, since portraying American victories as defeats is the standard operating procedure of the American media, it's not surprising that they weren't self-aware enough to understand the reference. ]]>

link19 throwing his support behind Liebs . Kudos. Via

link22 link23 General Wed, 18 Oct 2006 17:54:28 -0500 Report: 7 NFL Stadiums Will Be Hit With Dirty Bombs This Weekend | Update: Debunked
link24 This is breaking right now . I'll say right from the start that Homeland Security has already said that there is "no credible evidence" of such a threat. I'll have video from FOX in a couple of minutes. Update : A couple highly alarmist points. Catherine Herridge of FOX noted that this threat is connected to Adnan Shukrijumah and,
link25 as I noted yesterday , The Sun
link26 reported that he was planning attacks against 7 US cities. Again, all the rumors of nuclear attacks against the US have claimed that they would happen during Ramadan. This weekend would pretty much be the deadline for such an attack since Ramadan ends on Monday. Update : As promised, here's the video: Update : Jim Hoft has
link27 a good refresher if you're not familiar with Shukrijumah. Update : Allah calls this a "moronic story." Click

link30 link31 General Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:40:25 -0500 Space Weapons death-star-2.jpg
link32 413 326 There's
link33 a pretty cool article in today's Washington Post about a recent change by the Bush
administration in US's National Space Policy. Basically, this shift leaves open the possibility for the use of space weapons by the US and also allow the US to block anyone hostile to our interests from entering space. Here's a taste: The
administration said the policy revisions are not a prelude to introducing weapons systems into Earth orbit. "This policy is not about developing or deploying weapons in space. Period," said a
senior administration official who was not authorized to speak on the record. Nevertheless, Michael Krepon, co-founder of the Henry L. Stimson Center, a nonpartisan think tank that follows the space-weaponry issue, said the policy changes will reinforce international suspicions that the United States may seek to develop, test and deploy space weapons. The concerns are amplified, he said, by the
administration's refusal to enter negotiations or even less formal discussions on the subject. "The Clinton policy opened the door to developing space weapons, but that
administration never did anything about it," Krepon said. "The Bush policy now goes further." Theresa Hitchens, director of the nonpartisan Center for Defense Information in Washington, said that the new policy "kicks the door a little more open to a space-war fighting strategy" and has a "very
unilateral tone to it." The
administration official strongly disagreed with that characterization, saying the policy encourages international diplomacy and cooperation. But he said the document also makes clear the U.S. position: that no new arms-control agreements are needed because there is no space arms race. I wonder what political persuasion Ms. Hitchens is. You think she's a lib? Even in space, the Bush
administration is too
unilateral. Well, I'll put myself on the record right now and say that I hope the US government is developing space weapons. Some Death Starish thing that can take out target on the ground or a launched ballistic missile with precision. Then maybe countries like North Korea would have a little more incentive to stop screwing around. ]]>
link34 link35 General Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:02:43 -0500 VIDEO: O'Reilly On The View I know what you're wondering: were there major fireworks between O'Reilly and O'Donnell? No, not really. But that's doesn't mean it's not worth watching. By far the most rewarding moment of the entire clip is when O'Reilly nails Rosie on
Iraq; he asks her--three times--if she wants the US to win the war and Rosie refuses to answer. Rosie doesn't think it's possible. Rosie wants America to be what "the founding fathers wanted it to be." But Rosie won't say that she wants the US to win in
Iraq. Wanting the US to win in
Iraq is "antiquated thinking." Also amusing, Rosie says that she thinks that Lamont's going to beat Lieberman--probably wishful thinking since she's contributed the max to Lamont's campaign. Apparently she doesn't follow
link36 the polls . Update : I meant to mention
link37 this , but I forgot to. Here's Kirsten Powers on poor Elisabeth: "Why does Elizabeth Hasselbeck even show up for work? Every time I see a clip of this insipid show, Hasselbeck tries to say something and she is drowned out by the shrieks of Rosie." ]]>
link38 link39 General Wed, 18 Oct 2006 12:23:39 -0500 Hoyer's Race-Based Insults Against Michael Steele I
link40 mentioned yesterday how the #2 Democrat in the House Rep. Steny Hoyer joked that Maryland Senate candidate Michael Steele "slavishly" supports the GOP. Well, apparently, this wasn't the first time that Hoyer has used a race-based insult against Steele. Michelle Malkin has the details
link41 here . And again, imagine that the #2 Republican in the House Rep. John Boehner made a similar comment about, say, Rep. Harold Ford Jr. who's running for Senate in Tennessee. "Ford "slavishly" support the Democratic Party." Would that be appropriate? Absolutely not. The only difference is that the MSM would be all over it like white on rice. Fortunately for Hoyer, racially tinged attacks by Demcrats are ignored by the media. ]]>
link42 link43 General Wed, 18 Oct 2006 12:02:29 -0500 DNC Goes Into Debt For DSCC According to
link44 The Hotline , the DNC is going into the red to the tune of $5-10 million to help the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. While the money is not designated for any particular race, The Hotline speculates that it's likely going to be used in expensive media markets such as New Jersey and Virginia. The Hotline dubs this "contagious optimism," which, I agree, seems to fit. The dynamic has changed, the Senate is now in play, and this seems like a good strategic move on the part of the Democrats. They're going to try--hard--and I hope the GOP is prepared. Still, based on what I see now, I don't think the Republicans will lose control of the Senate. Others :

link57 on this one . The following clip should be all the inspiration you need to go out and vote Republican this November. According to Rangel, the "so-called" terrorists deserve habeas corpus rights and we can't use coercive interrogation to get them to spill their plans. The brilliant strategies just keep rolling out, don't they? Bottom line: Democrats just don't get it. ]]>

link60 510 245 From left to right: Mike Gallagher, Neal Boortz, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity and Michael Medved Looking at the above picture, Sully's
link61 taken his typically restrained tone and has labeled the conservative radio hosts pictured above as "toadies" for being invited to the White House to talk to President Bush about his
administration's policies. It's a low blow and, of course, Sullivan provides nothing to support his questioning of the objectivity of these individuals. But if you've been following Sullivan lately, you'll know this really isn't anything out of the ordinary; he's not all that keen on supporting any of his arguments with facts anymore--just hysterics. Anyway, does Sullivan expect President Bush to invite Al Franken to the White House? Or how about Randi Rhodes who has
link62 fantasized about having him killed ? The fact is is that almost every liberal talk radio personality that I can think of is a rabid Bush-hater. More : Sister Toldjah takes Sully
