AP Does Hatchett Piece on Rudy

Obviously, those in the Left leaning media are worried about Rudy getting the Republican nomination, hence: NEW YORK – Rudy Giuliani's White House aspirations are inescapably tied to Sept. 11, 2001 — for better and for worse. While the former mayor of the nation's largest city was widely lionized for his post-9/11 leadership — "Churchillian" […]

LA Times Goes Nutroots

Oh, my. Amazing what passes for journalistic standards these days (h/t Michelle. Woops, picked the wrong post. Meant to be this one) IF YOU HATED IT the first time, you might like the sequel better. Remember Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, the right-wing goon squad whose defamatory insinuations helped sink John Kerry's presidential campaign? They're […]

Today’s Iraq News

It starts out with the al-AP telling us we are stoopid for understimating and not thinking about how many civilians have died during Operation Iraqi Freedom. A subtle way to remind us that we as Americans are jerks, occupiers, terrible people, and should pull out right now. Don't worry about the possible full blown civil […]

Michelle Manhart, Air Force SGT Who Posed Nude, Discharge?

I have to wonder what the motives of the USA Today were. Intentionally misleading/lying? Simply clueless? Flame bait? Traffic bait? Their headline reads "Drill sergeant who posed nude discharged." That couldn't be farther from the truth, as the story itself, taken right from the AP, shows An Air Force drill sergeant and former Iowa National […]

Beer Monday Linkfest: Insurgents Waxed and Other Developments

Good Monday to all. How about a beer? No clue why people have gotten upset about this commercial. Maybe it was some sort of PETA protest? CNN has a story this morning about a battle in Najaf. Let's look at the highlights, shall we? A pitched battle between U.S.-backed Iraqi troops and insurgents raged into […]

Al Reuters Sympathy for Terrorist Family

While I am dealing with Al Reuters in the previous post, take a look at this (via Little Green Footballs) MORONI, Jan 10 (Reuters) – Relatives of fugitive al Qaeda suspect Fazul Abdullah Mohammed said on Wednesday they were keeping night vigils after the Comorian was targeted in a U.S. air strike in Somalia, where […]

Is Coverup Worse Then Crime In The Plame Affair?

Seriously, Al-Reuters actually asks this question The only criminal trial to result from a three-year investigation of government leaks begins on Tuesday and, as in previous Washington scandals, prosecutors will focus on the cover-up, not the crime. Rather than being charged with disclosing the identity of a clandestine CIA officer, former White House official Lewis […]

Tuesday Linkfest: The AP Sympathizes With Sunnis

We have seen those on the Left, including in the media, fawn over Saddam and sympathize with his execution over the last few days, forgetting what a monster he actually was. Now, the AP provides a sympathetic piece on Sunnis, apparently forgetting that it is the Sunnis who have been causing most of the problems […]

Al-Zawahiri: US Should Talk to Al Qaeda?

So says the headline. Is this Yahoo News playing games, or was this the headline that the AP released?   Nowhere in the story could I find any indication that Al-Z stated that the U.S. should talk to Al Qaeda, and it looks like most who picked up the AP story aren't even going there. […]

Silly Muslims, Trying To Bomb Another Mosque

What is with Muzzies? They pitch a fit and riot over some cartoons, but have no problem attempting to damage or destroy a Mosque. You know, that holy place that they worship (from DefenseLink) Iraqi police were patrolling yesterday when they found an improvised explosive device near a Samarra mosque’s doorway. “This action by the […]
