A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention.
William Teach at Pirate’s Cove writes Libby Sets It Straight On Plame “I’m surprised that this story hasn’t seen wider airplay in either the Right-O-Sphere or in Liberal land:
An indicted former White House aide does not contend that President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney ordered him to leak the name of a CIA officer whose husband criticized the administration’s Iraq policies, the aide’s lawyers said.”
Jay Tea at Wizbang writes We hold these rights not to be self-evident “With the rioting, threats, and petulant demands by many of the world's Muslims over cartoons being revisited by South Park this last two weeks, I was put in mind of something I've been thinking about for some time. The United States Constitution spells out a set of rights for all people within the United States, and adds that these are not the only ones. (See the Bill Of Rights). Over the years, they have been expanded both explicitly and implicitly, but there are a whole set of so-called "rights" that have been gaining more and more prominence -- and they need to be addressed.”
Expose the Left has Newt: “When You Tell The Truth About Joe Wilson, He Looks Pretty Bad” (VIDEO) “Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich appeared on FOX News’ Hannity & Colmes last night and shut down Alan Colmes on the subject of Joe Wilson’s lies and hate against the Bush administration.
The proof is in the transcript:”
Michelle Malkin writes THE CROSSES THEY CANNOT BEAR “Look--liberal "tolerance" at work again! An unhinged feminist professor tells her students to wreck a pro-life display of crosses (via Cincinnati Enquirer):”
Dafydd at Big Lizards writes Argument By Redefinition - Again “So now we have a new "civil war," according to the creative redefinition of the New York Times. This one is in India, of all places -- and the other side of the supposed "civil war" are the Maoist guerillas in the northern mountain regions in the Himalayas, hard up against war-torn Nepal, and the poor, indigenous, central Indian state of Chhattisgarh.”
John at OpFor writes The Desert Fox Option, Revisited “Back in January, after the Iranian ditched the Vienna summit, the blogosphere erupted with "what ifs?" I was one of them, contending that if this spat did come to fisticuffs it would come in the form of a Desert Fox style air campaign, not a ground offensive.
In the latest from the Weekly Standard, retired Air Force General and former fighter pilot Tom McInerney envisions a similiar war option. General McInerney asks:”
Dadmanly writes Washington Party Games “Sidney Blumenthal opines in Salon that Bush is completely caught up in his own lies and deceit:
Aside from the usual suspects, I seriously doubt anyone takes talk of ethics from a Clinton insider, confident, and operative as particularly compelling. (I am disappointed in reacquainting myself with my erstwhile debating partner Liberal Avenger. I had hoped that his long silence was based on a change in interests. I suspect it is because he lost any ability to talk civilly with an avowed supporter of the evil Bush Administration.”
Michael Yon writes Kabul to Lashkargar “When we landed in Kabul, Steve put the driver in the back and drove us through the crowded streets. There was a thirty minute ride ahead of us, alternating between racing and jamming in traffic. As we drove away from the airport, there were fewer Coalition soldiers about, and on the hills surrounding the town a dense warren of mud and stone houses that could have been erected thousands of years ago, although many insist that Kabul was once a little paradise.”
t.f.boggs writes Call To Arms “There comes a time when like minded people need to stand up for what they believe is right. America is fighting today to battle Islamic extremism whose very beliefs threaten our way of life. Freedom of speech is under attack and if we hold it to be of importance in this great country of ours we need to fight back against those who wish it to be taken from us.”
The Redhunter writes Trouble in the GOP “I've been putting this off long enough. For some time now I've wanted to do a post on the terrible state of the Republican Party but just haven't gotten around to it. But then yesterday I saw this posted by George Conway on NRO, and figured it was time to take this issue on”
Chester at The Adventures of Chester writes Iran Extravaganza Post “This post will be about Iran, and divided into four parts. Each is more or less unrelated, except that they are all things that have been kicking around in my skull for the last few days and weeks. Take from them what you will.”
