"O Lord make my enemies ridiculous."

Teaching the New York Times a little logic
Confederate Yankee has a rather good piece up that takes the New York Times to task for an article they published on body armor and the US Marines. CY points…
From the mouths of babes in the woods…
The other day, I was stuck behind a car with Massachusetts plates and a remarkable collection of peace-oriented bumper stickers. I snickered at the naivete expressed by the various sentiments,…
Spot the war crime
Via Acidman, I discovered this story of an American sniper in Iraq, who scored what just may be a world record for the longest confirmed kill with a sniper rifle….
Answering a plagiarist
Last week, when I wrote why I am a supporter of Israel, one commenter was struck speechless. I so dumbfounded "Montreal" (the moron, not the city) cut and pasted an…
A Question of Timing
Note: This is an explainer for Kevin's earlier piece on the UK "torture memos." Remember back during the campaign every time the liberals got bad news they offered the same…
Why this agnostic WASP is a Zionist
Earlier this week, I spent a little time going after the Palestinians who organized the massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, as sorta-kinda retold by Steven…
Iraq and the 60's
Discarded Lies is a pretty damned good site. It's unfortunate that it's largely known as a "second home" for some of the Little Green Footballs crowd, and it's so much…
The seductive cult of eternal victimhood
Steven Spielberg's latest masterpiece, Munich, is looking more and more like it's tanking. And good riddance. But by making a movie about something so relatively recent, it's allowed people who…
Democrats Are Right on NSA Spying Case
This might surprise some of you long time Wizbang readers, but I think the Democrats are absolutely correct. We need a congressional investigation. AND I don't mean an investigation by…
Quote of the Day: Hypocritical Left Edition
"The Department of Justice believes — and the case law supports — that the president has inherent authority to conduct warrantless physical searches for foreign intelligence purposes and that…
Just like a good neighbor, Islam is there…
The Islamic Society of Boston is trying to build a mosque in Boston. I'm sorry, a MOSQUE — a $24-million-dollar building, with a 125-foot minaret, a 75-foot dome, and lord…
Iraqi elections and family road trips
As the Iraqi elections wound down, I took a quick survey of some of the left end of the blogosphere. And I noticed one recurring theme. In a nutshell (a…
More evidence of progress in Iraq
If you needed any proof that the current elections in Iraq are, indeed, very serious, here is some: Iran was caught trying to smuggle in thousands of forged ballots in…
It's hard to see eye-to-eye on a one-way street
A lot of people are discussing the generosity of Saudi Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud, who forked over $20 million each to Harvard and Georgetown Universities, to enhance "Islamic Studies"…
The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step
I've often heard said, and repeated, that Islam is an "immature" religion, that it still is in its young, expansionist phase. Judaism and Christianity both went through their militant, conquering…
The deafening silence
A little while ago, I praised our ambassador to the United Nations, the "controversial" John Bolton, for some of his successes since assuming his office in New York. It turns…
A study in contrasts
Two people were in the limelight in Massachusetts yesterday, two people who have interesting perspectives on the war in Iraq. One of them was Former Sgt. Camilo Mejia, a National…
A lack of a clearly defined strategy
After carefully studying the news today, I have no choice but to reach the same conclusion as so many others: in the war in Iraq, there is a decided lack…
Turning the other cheek?
The recent kidnaping of some "Christian Peace Activists" has provoked a lot of heated discussion around the blogosphere. The group they belonged to, Christian Peacemaker Teams, sounds wonderful on the…
Quantum physics, exit strategies, and "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' babies!"
I'm no physicist by any stretch of the imagination, but one concept has always fascinated me: I believe it was Einstein who postulated that time and space are interrelated, that…
Everything you ever wanted to know about Saddam's WMDs, but the MSM was too afraid to tell you
I can't vouch for this guy's credibility, but he certainly seems to know his stuff. Lots of details — the kind that seem pretty plausible to me — on Saddam's…
The road to Damascus
Two of my more strongly-held beliefs in the current war on terrorism is that 1) the Bush strategy is based on pragmatism, with the idea of each stage being aimed…
Everything old is new again, Part II
One of the big memes among opponents of the war is to keep hyping the parallels between Iraq and Viet Nam. It doesn't matter how many times their arguments are…
A question for those still outraged over the Plame leak…
Why is is that the Plame case leads for demands that Karl Rove or other high officials "get frog-marched out of the White House," but leaks like this one (or…
