Iranian protestors hold up sign warning mullahs, “Do not forget what happened to Saddam Hussein!”
Call me sentimental, but I still regard our armed forces with reverence and awe rather than with disgust and feelings of revulsion. I believe most Americans would agree. Perhaps this is why leftist-liberal propaganda films flop at the box office. Continue reading Why are Iraq films failing?
“Si vis pacem, para bellum,” If you want peace, prepare for war.
This is ancient wisdom that some state department employees don’t understand and would dispute, with tears if they have to. No wonder our government is so disfunctionally lame.

Top State Dept. Officials Face Angry Questions
Moonbattery, (I love that name), links to this Frank Rich op-ed which equates supporting Bushitler’s Blitztkrieg-war-on-all-humanity war.
Our humanity has been compromised by those who use Gestapo tactics in our war. The longer we stand idly by while they do so, the more we resemble those “good Germans” who professed ignorance of their own Gestapo. It’s up to us to wake up our somnambulant Congress to challenge administration policy every day. Let the war’s last supporters filibuster all night if they want to. There is nothing left to lose except whatever remains of our country’s good name. ~nytimes.com
Whoops, Frank has inadvertantly stepped over the line and into Godwin’s law.
How can this be? After regaining the majority in congress Democrat leaders have sprung into action, cleaning up the (Republican) culture of corruption and continuing to promise an end to the Bushitler-Blitztkrieg-war-on-all-humanity in Iraq. What more could the American people want?
Molly Ball of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Senator Harry Reid’s favorable rating in Nevada has “plunged dramatically,” according to a new poll. Currently, Reid’s favorable rating is at 32%, while his unfavorable rating is at 51%, a net 23-point drop from the last poll taken in early May when Reid scored a 46/42 favorable/unfavorable rating.
Ball reports this is the first time Reid’s unfavorable rating has eclipsed his favorable rating. It also puts him below the favorable ratings recorded by President Bush and radio host Rush Limbaugh, among others: ~time-blog.com
Perhaps the precipitious drop is the difference between the reality-based community and reality. Perhaps progressive policies are not as wildly popular as liberals seem to think they are.
Syrian Nuclear Reactor bombed by Israel?
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 — Israel’s air attack on Syria last month was directed against a site that Israeli and American intelligence analysts judged was a partly constructed nuclear reactor, apparently modeled on one North Korea has used to create its stockpile of nuclear weapons fuel, according to American and foreign officials with access to the intelligence reports. ~nytimes.com
If Syria had a partly constructed nuclear reactor Iran’s is probably much further along, wouldn’t you think? They’ve been at it far longer and are highly motivated.
