Bhutto's Murder

The murder of Ms. Bhutto is a disaster. Regardless of any flaws she may have had, there is no question she was the best hope for a reasonably stable democracy in Pakistan. The nuts in that part of the world have killed that hope. Listen to the inane reactions of our presidential hopefuls. Obama illogically links her murder to Hillary's voting for the Iraq war! Loony Ron Paul says we should pack up and leave all parts of the world. Yes, that's a good idea. Hide our head in the sand and hope the religious nuts leave us alone. The rest are little better. We need constant vigilance and a take-no-prisoners approach to terrorists.

Iran Report

The latest intelligence report regarding the nuclear program in Iran is just what the Left wanted: a so-called vindication that the Bush adminstration's warnings about Iran are unfounded. The problem is that report is complete garbage. Not only does it issue from the anti-Bush C.I.A. which has resisted the administration's stance against terrorism for years, but it is based completely on accepting Iran's word. If anyone actually reads the report, he will conclude that there is absolutely NO proof anywhere. The report readily admits that it doesn't know whether Iran , which it says stopped its nuclear weapons development in 2003, has restarted it. All it can surmise is that we don't know. Well, there's certainty for you!
Also, the report acknowledges that Iran continues to enrich uranium but says it is so doing for non-military purposes. On what does the report base this conclusion? Iran's own word! These absurdities are so obvious, one may ask how the Lefites can take this trash seriously. But then the answer is obvious. They hate Bush, they hate anything he says or does and are willing to believe even Iran rather than accept his word. Just look how long it took the New York Times and some of the loony Democrats to admit the surge in Irag actually was working. They continue to suffer from the old disease of the Left: don't-bother-me-with-the-facts. I-already-know-what-I-think.
