Cheney Snickers at Joe Biden Taking Credit for Success in Iraq (Video)

Gateway Pundit "...For them to try to take credit for what’s happened in Iraq strikes me as a little strange.

And this: "'There’s A Level Of Incompetence' From The Obama Administration That Scares The American People... "Says Liz Cheney.

The Odd Lies About Sarah Palin

Commentary "What’s astounding about the Left’s penchant for Palin-sliming is the recycled nature of their fibs. Isn’t this more or less the same smear we heard about her wardrobe during the campaign? Then again, maybe Rich didn’t have his facts straight and made an innocent mistake. He might want to keep a little crib sheet handy, like, on his palm or something."

Obama takes the easy way out, to the detriment of our national security

PowerlineBlog "The Washington Post reports that the Obama administration is increasingly opting to kill al Qaeda terrorists rather than capturing them and attempting to find out what they know. "...."According to the Post, these decisions are being driven in part by the "dwindling options" for placing U.S. captives. As one "senior military officer" put it, "when you don't have a detention politcy (sic) or a set of facilities," the balance tends to shift in favor of simply eliminating the terrorist. ""

Second Amnesty chief attacks Islamist links

Timesonline, UK "A senior executive at Amnesty International has urged the charity to admit it made a “mistake” by failing publicly to oppose the views of a former terror suspect."

Common Criminals or Enemy Combatants?

Miryam Lindberg, AT "Yet Obama's circumstances are different from Bush's. The latter didn't have the benefit of hindsight; 9/11 happened unexpectedly and became a horrid call to action. The U.S. political and legal systems were not prepared for the onslaught. Passenger planes as human missiles? The strategy against jihadism had to be delineated from scratch and on the go. Today we know the jihadist enemy and his intentions much better. Bush's untested and much-maligned normative approach kept the country safe and provided new instruments to deal with jihadism, yet Obama came to power on the wings of anti-Bushism."

Is It Possible for a Practicing Muslim Soldier to Swear Allegiance to the U.S. Constitution?

American Thinker "This Islamic angry opposition is in complete accord with Islam's legal system of authoritative jurisprudence, the Shariah, which specifically instructs Muslims that occupation of Islamic lands by non-Muslims -- i.e., infidels -- requires followers of Islam to take up arms, oppose, and expel said infidels."

Obama's Hafiz to the Organization of the Islamic Conference

Atlas Shrugs "It bears noting that Obama's pick for special envoy to the supremacist Organization of the Islamic Conference is extremely devout. He's memorized the koran. Feel safe yet?"

Obama's P.R. Helps Terrorists

Dick Morris and Eileen McGann "But we take the loss of those 3,000 people quite seriously and refuse to treat it as a mere crime. We see it as a declaration of war and are responding accordingly. That the counter-terrorism point person in the Obama administration is, in effect, asking us to tone down our fear of terrorism is both disappointing and quite alarming. " Related: "...Brennan:Bush "over the top" in making secure the american people" Oh, the country's in the very best of hands.

Obama’s Very Weak Hand; When all else fails, try bipartisanship.

James C. Capretta, NRO "To get out of this box, the president is belatedly trying to draw a larger number of Republicans into taking some of the blame for enacting controversial legislation. But if the president can’t get his own team to support a government-centric health-care program or a massive tax increase, there’s virtually no chance he will get Republicans to do so."

Why Cheney attacks

Politico "Cheney associates say he abandoned plans for a sedate post-Bush administration retirement of fly-fishing and memoir writing because he is genuinely concerned that Obama is a weak leader who is responding to political pressures in modifying war and terror policies that Cheney himself was instrumental in crafting."

Curious omissions from the Olympic opening ceremony

Lona Manning, AT "In the entire ceremony, there was no reference to Canada's history -- no Jesuit missionaries, no fur trade, no transcontinental railway, no lumberjacks, no gold rush, no fishermen, no reference to our Britannic heritage. Because of course we couldn't touch on any of those subjects without making apologetic references to imperialism and environmental degradation."
