A Challenge

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

From NR to WSJ:
This should be an offer that the Wall Street Journal can’t refuse — debate the editors of National Review on the immigration bill.
We hereby challenge the Journal’s editors to debate the immigration bill in a neutral venue with a moderator of their choosing — two or three of us versus any two [...]

The RNC is Hearing From You

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

When they call asking for donations, ask them to call their illegal-alien pals instead:
The Republican National Committee, hit by a grass-roots donors’ rebellion over President Bush’s immigration policy, has fired all 65 of its telephone solicitors, Ralph Z. Hallow will report Friday in The Washington Times.
Faced with an estimated 40 percent fall-off in small-donor contributions [...]

Quote of the Day

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Kathryn Jean Lopez:
I’ll compromise where I have to. I’ll put up with bad judgment here and there: Harriet Miers? The incompetent Alberto Gonzales? Torching the First Amendment by signing campaign-finance reform? The war is important enough that you can get over some things. He knows there’s an enemy out there that hates America. I’m glad [...]

May, Another Bad Month

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

On March 14, 2007, Rush Limbaugh (along with many others) concluded that the “surge” was working because of a report showing a drop in US Fatalities:
RUSH: Does that not remind you guys of your first and second wives? Maybe even thirds. Pull out now! All right, we got news from Kuwait. “The rate of killings [...]

“Bush insults his most loyal supporters”

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Way to go Mr. President,
President Bush wants Congress to approve an immigration compromise bill that will be supported mainly by Democrats.
He’s no longer worried about getting re-elected, so in his pushing for the bill’s passage, Bush has now told millions of voters to get lost. These are the people who have been his most loyal [...]

Shameful, No “Time” For Individual Services

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

This is indeed shameful. The message is that they can not be bothered:
The deaths came as Fort Lewis leaders said they would no longer be holding individual memorial services for soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, a move other military posts have already taken.
“As much as we would like to think otherwise, I am afraid [...]

House Conservatives to the Rescue ?

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

House conservatives have a trump card to kill the Amnesty bill if it passes the upper chamber:

House conservatives are ready to stop the Senate immigration bill in its tracks with a potent procedural weapon should the contentious measure win passage in the upper chamber.
The trump card conservatives may hold is a constitutional rule that revenue-related [...]

“Bush unveils new climate strategy”

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

This article is bad enough, Bush going along with the global warming fiction, Europe lecturing on emissions when they’ve missed every target they’ve ever established, and the “experts” quoted all from liberal groups, but this, is surreal:
Germany, which holds the European Union and Group of Eight presidencies, is proposing a so-called “two-degree” target, whereby global [...]

Cue The Rod Serling Music

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

I am sure Bush thinks the same thing about illegal aliens, “On Iraq, Bush Says Public is with Him.”
They need to start playing the twilight zone music whenever Bush or the Administration says anything.
UPDATE: Maybe he should look at Gallup’s new poll released today:
PRINCETON, NJ — What would Americans say to President Bush if they [...]

An Iraq Cease Fire Deal?

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

I do not trust the “good guy Iraqis” so you can guess what I think of “bad guy Iraqis.” Regardless, this is an additional opportunity for the United States to step down to force the Iraq Army to step up because that is all they understand:
WASHINGTON — U.S. military commanders are talking with Iraqi militants [...]

“White House envisions “Korean model” in Iraq”

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

The CiC is taking a big picture view:
President Bush would like to see the U.S. military provide long-term stability in Iraq as it has in South Korea, where thousands of American troops have been based for more than half a century, the White House said Wednesday.
White House spokesman Tony Snow told reporters Bush believes U.S. [...]

“Why I’m Bummed About The Future for the US” by “Neoken”

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

A long time Polipundit reader had a post at Redstate, and by a strange stroke of fate, I noticed it. And you know what? It is damn good and I am lifting it entirely to post here. I hope that Neoken does not mind:
I joined Redstate today. Didn’t know it came with a blogging function. [...]

Airlines Sues Union Over Drunken Pilot

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

Fighting back against the can’t do anything wrong to get fired mentality of the unions:

Continental Airlines is suing the Air Line Pilots Association for reinstating a pilot who showed up intoxicated for a flight, kept his job under a deal to submit to alcohol tests, then failed to take one.
Houston-based pilot Ronald A. McWhirter was [...]

25 “Surrender Monkeys” Sitting On The Fence…..

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

From NRO:
Iraq–the Coming GOP Collapse? [Rich Lowry]
Was talking to an influential Republican strategist who thinks if Iraq looks the way it does now in September, Bush will lose about 25 Senate Republicans on a bill with some sort of timetable for withdrawal.
05/30 04:03 PM
Psst, we are talking about Iraq, of course in September [...]

Outsourced “Strategy”

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

Commander Jeff Huber’s (U.S. Navy (Retired)) analysis of military and foreign policy affairs have appeared in Proceedings, The Navy, Jane’s Fighting Ships, and other print periodicals. Some of his essays have been required student reading at the U.S. Naval War College, where he received a master’s degree in national security studies in 1995.
At his blog [...]
