Funny -- By: Seth Leibsohn

Funny how the Democrats nationally sent in millions to N.J. and Va., not to mention the party panjandrums, and want to now say these were just local elections with no national implications. A simple point: People in Va. and N.J. voted for CHANGE. ...

When Exactly Did Afghanistan Become 'Settled Enough'? -- By: Seth Leibsohn

Abdullah Abdullah has decided he will not face Hamid Karzai in a reelection re-vote this week because, by his lights, it will be as corrupt an election as took place this summer.  This morning, the New York Times reports that: “Advisers to President ...

Dithering -- By: Seth Leibsohn

Why is that the case [that we have to wait for an election outcome]? Isn't the Taliban our enemy? Isn't al-Qaeda over the border, coming in, being invited and urged to be our enemy? Wasn't this a matter of our security? Isn't that what the president ...

President as Teacher -- By: Seth Leibsohn

What Truly Shocks the Conscience -- By: Seth Leibsohn

Yesterday’s release by the Justice Department was meant to bolster Eric Holder’s decision to name a special prosecutor, and to shock our consciences about how poorly we treated high-value detainees. I think we should stop with the “high-value detainee” ...

About Last Night

An update from radioland: Bill Kristol wrote here that the president beat up on "cops and docs" last night.  This morning, on Bill Bennett's Morning in America, cops and docs are calling in, verifying that's exactly what they heard last night:  beating ...
