Obama Blunders Through Asia; Undoing Bush's years of deft diplomacy.
The Weekly Standard "The White House stated as Obama left Asia for home last week: "Overall, American leadership was absent from this region for the last several years.'' Nonsense. Bush left office with U.S. relations with Asia's big four--China, India, Japan, and Indonesia--taken together, better than ever in history."
Will The Unemployment Disaster Be Obama's Katrina?
Huffington Post "Just as Katrina exposed critical weaknesses in the priorities and competence of the Bush administration, the unfolding unemployment disaster is threatening to do the same for the Obama White House."
An Unreasonable Decision; Eric Holder’s defenders substitute their own reasoning for his.
Andrew McCarthy "In the military system, where enemy aliens do not have the full panoply of constitutional rights, a defendant who wants his defense to have the benefit of classified discovery material must accept a military lawyer with a security clearance. We don’t have to give him direct access to national-defense information."
Where Has the Thrill Gone?
By Victor Davis Hanson "Prophets fall harder than normal politicians. When you claim that seas recede and planets cool before your presence, and that Latin mottos, new presidential candidate seals, neo-classical victory trophies, and faux-Greek temple sets are the appropriate backdrops for Your speeches, then you raise the bar a bit high. Obama is not necessarily any more partisan than a Nixon or Reagan or Bush, only just as partisan — but then he claimed something quite different."
CLIMATEGATE
Boortz Gore has become a millionare many times over; you think he won't he fight this tooth and nail?
Climategate: the final nail in the coffin of [Man-caused] Global Warming'?
UK Telegraph "If you own any shares in alternative energy companies I should start dumping them NOW. The conspiracy behind the Anthropogenic Global Warming myth (aka AGW; aka ManBearPig) has been suddenly, brutally and quite deliciously exposed after a hacker broke into the computers at the University of East Anglia’s Climate Research Unit (aka Hadley CRU) and released 61 megabites of confidential files onto the internet."
Andrew C. Mccarthy: How Obama is courting danger: Civilian trials set back the war on terror
NY Daily News h/t to Jihad Watch "Now, our enemies will be given a full-blown civilian trial with all the rights of the American citizens they are sworn to kill. They will get a year or more to sift through our national defense secrets. They will have wide latitude to turn the case into a trial of the Bush administration - publicizing information about anti-terrorism tactics that leftist lawyers will exploit in their quest for war crimes prosecutions in foreign courts against current and former U.S. officials."
9/11 Five lawyers: Trial will become their platform to the world
Hot Air "The five men facing trial in the Sept. 11 attacks will plead not guilty so that they can air their criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, the lawyer for one of the defendants said Sunday.
Scott Fenstermaker, the lawyer for accused terrorist Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali, said the men would not deny their role in the 2001 attacks but “would explain what happened and why they did it.”"
Inhofe Says He Will Call for Investigation on "Climategate" on Washington Times Americas Morning Show
Senate.gov "And since, you know, Barabara Boxer is the Chairman and I’m the Ranking Member on Environment and Public Works, if nothing happens in the next seven days when we go back into session a week from today that would change this situation, I will call for an investigation. ‘Cause this thing is serious, you think about the literally millions of dollars that have been thrown away on some of this stuff that they came out with."
