THE WORLDS MOST DANGEROUS CAT FIGHT

Have you ever been to Iowa? Even if not, you know that it’s a middle-size state, smaller than Wisconsin and a little bigger than Arkansas. Now imagine Iowa with over 140 million people, half of the entire US population.

Then let’s reroute the Mississippi and Missouri rivers so they both run through Iowa and flood the place so much that most Iowans have to build their homes on stilts. To complete the picture, let’s say these vast swarms of Iowans are as poor and uneducated as Appalachian trailer park folk, and, oh yes – they are Moslem.

NAILED SHUT

OK, kids, it’s safe to come out and play now – the Sheriff is back and chased away the scary man.

During the second debate, I was so nervous that I drank an entire bottle of wine watching it. For the third, all I had was a glass of water. Kerry got demolished. He looked old. He looked haggard and weary and baggy-eyed tired. His hands trembled, either from nervousness or the onset of Parkinson’s. He droned and babbled statistics. He lost every pro-life Catholic vote in the country and every anti-homosexual “marriage” vote as well. He was constantly on (more…)

A SHAKESPEARIAN MOMENT

It was with such “sweet sorrow” that I watched President Bush’s speech at Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on Wednesday. Both the text and the delivery were fabulous. And when he even poked fun at himself – noting that “It wasn’t easy for my opponent to become the single most liberal member of the Senate. You might even say, it was hard work”; or after reciting a long list of Kerry flip flops, observing “You hear all that and you can understand why somebody would make a face” – I said to myself, he’s back.

But the question remains, back from where? Where (more…)

LEARNING ISRAEL’S LESSONS

Finally, we’re learning one of Israel’s two best lessons in fighting terrorists. Israel, Sharon in particular, figured out a long time ago, that the enemy wasn’t a phenomenon, it was individuals: terrorists, not “terrorism.” So the solution was to forget about defeating some “ism” and hunt down and kill specific terrorists personally.

The latest example took place this Sunday, September 26, when Israeli agents planted a bomb under the driver’s seat of Izz al-Deen Sheik Khalil’s SUV, and blew the senior Hamas leader up to the Moslem Bordello in the Sky.

Taking this lesson to heart, US forces have begun (more…)

A REAGAN DOCTRINE FOR IRAN

This is the text of a briefing I am giving to Senate and Congressional staffers on Capitol Hill this morning.

The Reagan Doctrine was developed in the early Reagan years as an objection and alternative to the Containment Doctrine, initially formulated by George Kennan in the late 1940s as the dominant paradigm of American foreign policy towards the Soviet Union.

By 1981, the Containment Doctrine was a clear and undeniable failure. The US under Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and most especially Jimmy Carter had totally failed to contain Soviet colonial expansion: from 1969 with Brazzaville-Congo through 1979 with (more…)
