Let’s hear it for the purple fingers of Iraq
Others are covering the news in great depth (I recommend, in particular, the entire front page of Mudville Gazette for a good roundup and links; as well as the horse’s mouth, the one and only Iraq the Model). But I … Continue reading →
Jane Fonda and those “killing machines”
Michelle Malkin has a post entitled, “Baghdad Jane’s Bloviations,” excoriating our old friend Jane Fonda for these remarks (offered here in their entirety): “Hanoi Jane” Fonda is claiming that ever since Vietnam, U.S. troops have been trained to commit atrocities … Continue reading →
The never agains of Vietnam: the last battle?
