Who’s lying?

Is it the House Misspeaker Nancy Pelosi or the CIA, the gang that can’t ever seem to get its story straight? At this hour, Instapundit readers are voting Nancy. Alas, there is no category for both. Let the show trials begin!

Our unethical pols

Amazing to me that anyone would not think the Botox Queen was morally-challenged, considering her insistence on having her own private jet, instead of flying commercial like her peers. Well, they say in retort, the plane is paid for by her campaign funds. Yes, but who supplies those and for what quid pro quo?

Democrats campaign for disgrace

Military historian and classicist Victor Davis Hanson, whose fascinating "Ripples of Battle," I’m reading of late, sums up the history-making the Dems in Congress, and their MSM buds, seem hellbent to accomplish:

"Leaving Iraq with the enemy in control of the battle space would be the first time in our nation’s history that a US military army group had abandoned an entire battlefield (a Somalia or Beirut were withdrawals of only a few hundred troops)…To do what the New York Times suggests—skedaddle from Iraq now—would destroy the reputation of the US military for a generation."

Not that they would care, apparently. What would they do, I wonder, after Syria takes over Lebanon, and Iran gets the bomb and buys the missiles to deliver it? Send Nancy and Harry over to chat?

I love Michael Ramirez’s cartoons. Don’t get enough of them? Go here for the collection. 

What dictators do when war looms

Omar at Iraq the Model sees disturbing similarity between the Mullah’s capture of the British troops and Saddam’s 1990 arrest, trial and execution of Iranian-British journalist Farzad Bazoft on charges of spying. Saddam, Omar says, was playing to his national audience, rather than the international one. So, he thinks, are the Mullahs to the Iranians, rather than the Brits or Americans. But he hopes the captives aren’t similarly treated. Some of Omar’s commenters are playing the old "he’s really CIA" song. Probably because President Bush recently endorsed the blog’s perceptivity.

The Syrian dictatorship, meanhwile, prepares to welcome House Speaker Pelosi, who apparently is running for the Dem nomination for president, or else she thinks foreign policy is made by the House.
