The Sanity Squad is back opining at Pajamas Media. The topics? Iran’s “scientific” [sic] Holocaust Denial Conference, and the legacy of Kofi Annan, whose term as UN Secretary-General is up at the end of the month. So go to PJ … Continue reading →

The definition of “success” in war: Part II (colonialism and occupation)

The New Neo Posted on December 12, 2006 by neoFebruary 20, 2012

[Part I can be found here.] Shelby Steele, a supporter of the war in Iraq, discusses the semantic and conceptual problem we face when we have no clear definition of victory: Without a description of victory, a war has no … Continue reading →

The definition of “success” in war: Part I

The New Neo Posted on December 11, 2006 by neoNovember 22, 2008

The ISG report has branded our efforts in Iraq “grave,” “deteriorating,” and “not working.” The American people aren’t too happy with the situation, either. Results of recent polls indicate: Just 9 per cent expect the war to end in clear-cut … Continue reading →

The ISG and the USIP: who are these people and why are they saying all these things?

The New Neo Posted on December 9, 2006 by neoDecember 9, 2006

In her latest vlog, the inimitable Pamela of Atlas Shrugs asks the following pertinent question about ISG head James Baker, “Who died and made him king?” Well, I think I can offer a stab at an answer. Who died? The … Continue reading →

Who said Senators aren’t diplomats? More talking about talking with Iran

The New Neo Posted on December 8, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

On the topic of James Baker and Lee Hamilton’s suggestion that we talk to Iran and Syria about helping us out in Iraq, I’d say a person would have to be either abysmally stupid, mindbogglingly ignorant, or stark raving mad … Continue reading →

What’s a blog for if not to garner sympathy?

The New Neo Posted on December 8, 2006 by neoDecember 8, 2006

I’m going to complain. I promise it will be short. It’s freezing, abominably windy, snow on the ground, night will fall in what seems like just a few minutes. And I have a cold. But at least the power isn’t … Continue reading →

Iraqis aren’t pleased with the ISG either

The New Neo Posted on December 8, 2006 by neoDecember 8, 2006

Iraqis don’t seem to be happy with the ISG report, either (see this). I have a question: if the Republicans had won the election, would we even be hearing much about this report? After all, it’s been brewing since last … Continue reading →

Remembering Pearl Harbor

The New Neo Posted on December 7, 2006 by neoDecember 6, 2008

[Please see this post on forgetting Pearl Harbor.] We’ve all learned about Pearl Harbor, but here are some details that I found especially interesting in light of 9/11. Despite having a lot of information that a Japanese attack was coming … Continue reading →

Forgetting Pearl Harbor: the giant rolls over and goes back to sleep

The New Neo Posted on December 7, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

Sixty-five years ago today Pearl Harbor was attacked. That’s long enough ago that only the elderly remember the day and its aftermath with any clarity. Several generations–including my own tiresome one, the baby boomers–have come up since then, and the … Continue reading →

Helpful, so helpful

The New Neo Posted on December 6, 2006 by neoDecember 6, 2006

The Washington Post headline: “Experts: Syria, Iran willing to aid USA.” Article by the AP, naturally. What alternative universe do headline writers live in, I wonder? Reporting on the fact that the Iraq Study Group believes that Syria and Iran … Continue reading →

Iraq Study Group report: so, what else is new?

The New Neo Posted on December 6, 2006 by neoAugust 28, 2009

I’m a bit underwhelmed by the Iraq Study Group report “The Way Forward: A New Approach” (see this and this). It reminds me of the usual recommendations by committee; you’re familiar with the genre, I’m sure. “New approach?” Hardly. I … Continue reading →

The Sanity Squad: Bolton and the UN, and the arrogant AP

The New Neo Posted on December 6, 2006 by neoDecember 6, 2006

The new Sanity Squad podcast is up. This week we discuss Bolton’s leavetaking–and whether it even matters, given what the UN has become. We also offer our take on allegations that the AP is playing fast and loose with the … Continue reading →
