Ft. Hood killer linked to 9-11?

Michelle Malkin asks the reasonable question of why the heck do we have to find this out from the UK Telegraph? (Perhaps because that same PC mentality forbids our media from asking the obvious questions). [UK Telegraph] [Major Nidal Malik] Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended [...]

Mark Steyn 1, snotty liberal 0.

Here’s Mark Steyn: After my comparative body count in my “fear for Muslims” post last night – non-Muslims 13, Muslims 0 – a snotty liberal wrote to wonder sneeringly how I knew the dead at Fort Hood were all non-Muslims. He thinks he’s refuting my point but in fact he’s making it for me: The soi-disant ”moderate Muslim” has far more to fear from [...]

PC killed Fort Hood’s finest.

This is a great commentary on the evils of political correctness by author and former Lt. Col. Ralph Peters: [NY Post] On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim US Army officer shouting “Allahu Akbar!” committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror [...]

The never ending apology tour.

This is a great commentary from Jonah Goldberg in their subscription version of National Review. The question he asks is, “Whatever happened to liberal idealism?” He notes a long history of liberal idealists, such as Harry Truman. And even more modern Democrat leaders who have had their own “American apology tours,” a la Bill Clinton [...]

Club Med, Guantanamo.

[Washington Post] For up to four hours a day, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, can sit outside in the Caribbean sun and chat through a chain-link fence with the detainee in the neighboring exercise yard at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Mohammed can also use that time to visit a media [...]

Re: Sanford, Ensign and hypocrisy.

The liberal media pile-on over the Sanford and Ensign extra-marital affairs aren’t just a collaboration of double standards, they’re off base too. Consider the New York Times’ Gail Collins: I’m thinking it’s time for the Republicans to apologize for putting us through the Clinton impeachment. We seem to have pretty well established that sexual stone-throwing [...]

Ridiculous equivilance.

You really should read this entire commentary by Charles Krauthammer reprimanding Barack Obama for a display of moral equivilance that is truly infantile. That’s not hyperbole either. For an American president to got to the heart of the Islamic world and say these things not only is silly but actually undermines the persecuted pro-democracy minority. [...]

The confused NYT.

Here’s James Taranto (another read the whole thing): The New York Times now seems a bit confused as to the religion of the suspects in the terror plot revealed earlier this week: Law enforcement officials initially said the four men were Muslims, but their religious backgrounds remained uncertain Thursday. [Laguerre] Payen reported himself to be [...]

Iranian response to Obama’s olive branch.

BEIRUT — Roxana Saberi, a 31-year-old Iranian-American journalist, was convicted of spying and sentenced to eight years in prison on Saturday by Iran’s Revolutionary Court. Ms. Saberi, a former American beauty queen, has been in detention in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison since Jan. 31. She was charged with espionage earlier this month and tried this [...]

U.N. Lesson for Obama.

It took longer than it should have, but the State Department finally decided late last week to drop out of the horror show that is the United Nations conference on racism. The conference scheduled for April in Geneva is the follow-up to the U.N. confab in Durban, South Africa, in 2001 that proved too much [...]
