I seem to vaguely remember a time when America had confidence. And guts. And soldiers fighting a war didn't need to be given "permission" to defend themselves from enemies trying to kill them.

I'd just like to say "thank you" to President Bush and to the men and women of the US military, who by the New York Times' own admission took out a terror-sponsoring regime in Iraq that could have constructed a nuclear weapon within months, as soon as sanctions were lifted enough for them to obtain sufficient fissile material.

Good news from France, where the man picked by Nicolas Sarkozy as his foreign minister is not the execrable Hubert Védrine, but Bernard Kouchner - a socialist who supports Israel and the invasion of Iraq.

Agence France Presse says the Communist Party doesn't endorse Barack Obama, but that's just the media covering for him again. Because they do endorse Obama.

I suspect people would be in for a real shock if they knew the depths of his [Obama's] historical ignorance.

After initially trying to defend his remarks about gun-toting, tabacky-chewing, bitter Jesus freaks, Barack Obama is now backpedaling furiously.

If I had it to do over, I'd vote for Obama without hesitation. I'm very thankful that McCain and Palin aren't in office.
