Obama’s tough love towards Iraq: that’ll teach ’em
Quite some time ago I came to the point of having difficulty reading Obama’s speeches and interviews in full. I don’t mean cognitive difficulty; I understand them well enough. I mean a weariness at the overwhelming combination of factual errors, … Continue reading →
Peace Prize in our time
That Nobel Peace Prize for Obama certainly was premature, wasn’t it? Since he has become president, it’s been a challenge to name a part of the world that has not gotten worse rather than better. Turns out that America as … Continue reading →
John Hinderaker on Obama’s bombing announcement
