"Firearms WILL NOT Be Allowed In Hall"

Key quote in the article:

"The Secret Service sets the rules in such circumstances, and even NRA big shots had to go through the screening."

Not the NRA's fault here. Anyways, as long as the gov't doesn't interfere with my right to keep a a firearm in my home, I'm cool with this. If lefites get to demand that the gov't stay out of their bedrooms, then they can shut the hell up when I demand that the gov't stay out of my gun cabinet. posted 05/17/2008 at 23:31:56

Talking with Our Enemies: McCain Should Admit The Truth and Stop Attacking the Messenger

"But Hamas is a terrorist organization, right? So McCain is willing to "wait and see" if it's OK to talk with terrorists, but is smearing Obama with a slam based on a lie."

Yes, they *are* a terrorist organization. If the operative word post-2006 would have been "were", then we'd have a different situation here.

I think Obama wants to talk with Iran even if there's no basis for any kind of negotiation barring a concession on our part. I believe McCain would not do so, which I think is the more prudent course to take.

"McCain lies about it and says Obama wants to talk to Hamas??"

MCain hasn't lied about jack, bub. posted 05/17/2008 at 02:29:59
He didn't "change his mind" about anything. He said back in 2006 that we need to see how Hamas acts as the government before we decide how to treat the organization. Hamas has acted poorly since then, and so he thinks that we should act accordingly. Nowhere does he say that we should engage them without Hamas doing what it takes to make them worthy of engagement. There is no inconsistency here. posted 05/16/2008 at 22:26:36

AP: Iraqi Prime Minister Left Politically Battered And Humbled

So Iran directly undermined its own proxy? If so, then that bodes well for us. posted 04/01/2008 at 07:26:47
Iran wasn't expecting the Iraqi gov't, headed by a Shiite, to go after their proxy. I think the article is right about Iran not wanting pro-Iranian Shiites to go after each other, and so it makes sense that they'd want to step in to stop the bloodletting. Nonetheless, by stepping in as they did in an attempt to undermine Maliki's offensive, they may have alienated the Maliki government, pushing Maliki closer to us.

I'm left cautiously optimistic. posted 03/31/2008 at 23:19:38

'21' Rules Box Office, 'Stop-Loss' Fails To Connect

Hollywood keeps making anti-American movies that bomb, and the public responds appropriately. When will the entertainment industry the message that mainstream America generally doesn't care what the cultural elite think? The good thing about this is that ever dollar Hollywood dumps on craptacular flicks like this one is a dollar that doesn't get wasted on Hillary or Obama.

Iraq Fighting Underscores Power Struggle

I applaud al-Maliki's progress on this, but he still has a long way to go before he can secure the country against factionalism. That means we aren't going to be withdrawing anytime soo, no matter who of the three candidates win the election. posted 03/30/2008 at 17:26:56

Iraq Violence Continues As Death Toll Nears 300

He ain't dictating jack. He unilaterally called for the Madhi Army to stand down, but the Iraqi gov't isn't gonna back off. posted 03/30/2008 at 13:27:44
Is that why Mookie is UNILATERALLY offering the Iraqi gov't a truce? This was a a battle that everyone who knew anything about Iraq and the British withdrawal from Basra realized would come. Don't let the MSM deceive you on this one. Al Maliki wanted this fight because he knew he had a good shot at winning, and he'll win it. posted 03/30/2008 at 13:26:23

New Iraq War Plan: High Troop Levels Through 2008

I know people in the Iraqi American community. They don't like Bush, but they do agree with the belief that Iran is fighting a proxy war against the U.S. in Iraq, and that much of the violence we've seen there has roots in that. posted 03/25/2008 at 05:56:34
Leftists have done a lot to polarize this country, it is true. But I'd agree that saying we're fighting a war amongst ourselves is a bit much. I wish we had a candidate for President that could promote the idea that we as a country aren't as divided as lefties like to claim. Sadly, the Democrats haven't really given us one this election year, and so we're stuck with McCain as the best choice among the three prominent candidates. posted 03/25/2008 at 05:52:30
I don't see Obama withdrawing our troops from Iraq. He said it himself, he'll go after Al Qaeda wherever they are. Since Al Qaeda is currently in Iraq (although suffering huge setbacks in support due to tribal chiefs allying themselves with our military), he'll keep our troops there. posted 03/25/2008 at 05:47:57

McCain Benefits From Protracted Democratic Race

If McCain is smart, he's gonna start filling his schedule with things to do that put him in the apparent role of President in the minds the electorate. Presidential acts could include traveling around the world visiting allies within the scope of his role as a Senate Armed Services Committee member, all the while building personal relationships with political leaders in those countries. Doing the business of America puts him above the Obama-Clinton political gutter, making it easier for the People to visualize him as the next POTUS. posted 03/24/2008 at 19:25:55

US Interpreter In Iraq Denied Green Card After 4 Years Translating For US Forces

I have my doubts about these kinds of statistics. More often than not, they don't take into account the fact that a lot of "civilians" have worn the hat of a terrorist group that attacks noncombatant Iraqis. Nor do many of those statistics take into account that the majority of noncombatants have died as a result of attacks by fellow Iraqis rather than by our troops. posted 03/23/2008 at 20:23:17

A signing statement cannot overturn a constitutionally valid statute. posted 03/23/2008 at 15:26:07
Congress gave the mandate to bureaucrats, and bureaucrats can only work within that mandate. I happen to know of a lot of bureaucrats who hate the way the law is right now but realize that there's nothing they can do about it within the scope of their employment.

In any event, what exactly do you think Bush can do about this? He doesn't pass out immigration benefits, nor does he have the power to do so. The only people who can do that are the bureaucrats, and even their discretion to do so is limited to what Congress provides. Congress needs to fix the law in order for the bureaucrats to be allowed to do the right thing. posted 03/23/2008 at 15:13:04
Non sequitur. The Immigration and Nationality Act and the Endangered Species Act have nothing to do with each other. Neither government bureaucrats nor the POTUS are allowed to unilaterally change badly written statutes. Only Congress can do that. posted 03/23/2008 at 15:08:47

British And French: Less Confidence In Bush To Do The Right Thing In World Than Putin

There doesn't need to be a single American living in any particular foreign country for that country's government to pose a threat to our vital interests. We need to act on our own behalf, because no one's gonna do it for us. posted 03/23/2008 at 20:12:39
Well, I'm not sure America needs to justify much to the rest of the world when our vital interests are at stake. Unless I'm mistaken, no one promised to safeguard our interests, and so it's left to Americans to do that for America. As far as how a proactive defense such as the campaign against the Barbary terrorists translates to the modern world, well, it's not too complicated I think. If a foreign government tries to bully us around, then we should annihilate its ability to do so. posted 03/23/2008 at 20:11:04
