Wow: AP says the war is won

The New Neo Posted on July 28, 2008 by neoAugust 23, 2008

Obama, Andrew Sullivan, and the surge: foresight vs. hindsight

The New Neo Posted on June 5, 2008 by neoJune 10, 2008

Peter Wehner does a wonderful job of fisking Obama’s recent speech on Iraq in which the candidate combined masterful oratory, abysmal ignorance, denial, and lawyerly circumlocutions in his signature manner to show exactly why he should never be elected President … Continue reading →

The changing face of the Democratic Party

The New Neo Posted on May 21, 2008 by neoMay 22, 2008

The New Neo Posted on April 7, 2008 by neoApril 10, 2008

The New Neo Posted on March 14, 2008 by neoMay 20, 2008

Peter Wehner presents an absolutely devastating critique of Obama’s most visible foreign policy record, his position on Iraq. It’s also the record of which Obama is most proud. But if one closely follows his shifting statements, it’s hard to conclude … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on March 4, 2008 by neoMarch 4, 2008

Whatever happened to those benchmarks?

The New Neo Posted on February 16, 2008 by neoFebruary 19, 2008

The Iraqi Parliament has passed some new and potentially significant laws. This particular event should have been the lead article on the front page of every newspaper. It should have been the big subject of all the talk shows. It … Continue reading →
