December 14, 2006 Behind the Obama Bounce By Lawrence Kudlow Media mogul Oprah Winfrey anointed him presidential heir-apparent on "Larry King Live." Three-thousand adoring fans clung to his every word in New Hampshire. His new book sits atop the New York Times bestseller list. Over on "Monday Night Football," he announced, after "a good deal of soul-searching," that he is ready (wink-wink)... "for the Bears to go all the way!" (How's that for free advertising?) Barack Obama is on a big-time... Sign in to see full entry.

Republicans Need To Put Down A Downpayment.......
By DICK MORRIS December 5, 2006 -- Are the lame-duck leaders of the failed 109th Congress like the Bourbon kings of France who, Talleyrand once said, "learned nothing and forgot nothing?" They will have a chance to signal a steepening of their learning curve when tax-credit legislation comes up for their consideration during the lame-duck session this week. One of the hallmarks of the centrist positioning, so potent in the Clinton administration, was the use of targeted tax breaks to achieve the... Sign in to see full entry.

America destroyed all our enemies in the region. It destroyed the Taliban.
The Iraq war, civil or not, is costing $226 million a day -- or $8 billion a month, $76 billion a year. It's hard to figure out what to call it when Iraqis are killing Iraqis by the score every day and when the U.S. has been fighting and dying there longer than its involvement in World War II. Iraq also has a civil war within a civil war -- insurgency interspersed by sectarian warfare against a Shia-led government. There are 23 armed militias in Baghdad alone. Each government minister and scores... Sign in to see full entry.

BUSH ON THE EVE OF DESTRUCTION. THE EASTERN WORLD, IT IS EXPLODIN'
Get used to seeing the Four Seasons Amman. That's the site of Thursday's breakfast and news conference for President George W. Bush and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, and the U.S. networks are sending their news anchors there, ensuring massive coverage of an event that the White House has said is unlikely to produce any major announcement or development. But the White House, which is eager to show that the President is focused intently on Iraq, is welcoming the coverage. On the second day... Sign in to see full entry.

David and Goliath Putin Tries to Depose a Neighbor By Richard Holbrooke Monday, November 27, 2006; Page A19 TBILISI, Georgia -- While the United States is otherwise preoccupied, this small former Soviet republic has become the stage for a blatant effort at regime change, Russian-style. Vladimir Putin is going all out to undermine and get rid of Georgia's young, pro-American, pro-democracy president, Mikheil Saakashvili. Putin is assuming that the United States, overwhelmed by Iraq and needing... Sign in to see full entry.

Kick him out UN must expel Ahmadinejad's murderous regime, says one of the world's leading moral voices http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ideas_opinions/story/474627p-399258c.html By ELIE WIESEL Those among us who thought that the victory of allied democracies in 1945 would mark the end of hate and state-sponsored racism were naive. What remains in human memory as the most cruel of conflicts changed neither human nature nor peoples' ambition. Religious wars, political dictatorships, ethnic... Sign in to see full entry.

The Giant, Helpless, Pitiful Democratic Majority By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN November 24, 2006 -- For all of the dire warnings and pre-election commotion about the impact of a Democratic majority in Congress, the fact is that - now that it is upon us - it can do little or nothing but harass the administration. There is no real danger of any legislative action emerging from this Congress. Yes, the president has a veto the Democrats cannot override, but nothing will ever make it as far as the...

POISONED Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko said just hours before he died last night: “The bastards got me.” Former KGB Colonel Mr Litvinenko, 44, believed the Kremlin targeted him, but added: “They won’t get everybody.” He told his friend Andrei Nekrascov: “I want to survive, just to show them.” Hours later he lost consciousness.

DON'T TRADE IRAN FOR IRAQ
By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN November 21, 2006 -- A consensus seems to be developing that only a "regional solution" embracing Iran and Syria can extract the United States from Iraq without jeopardy to those who have stood with us and without damage to both our reputation and Bush's place in history. But at what price? Nobody seems willing to say what "engagement" with Iran for a regional solution would entail. We cannot ask Iran's help while we bomb its nuclear reactors or impose tough...

NO END TO DEM CIVIL WAR By DICK MORRIS & EILEEN MCGANN November 20, 2006 -- FLUSH with victory, the Democratic Party is celebrating its return to power by loudly and publicly tearing itself to pieces. Anyone who wondered if House Democrats would be as reliable as the Republicans in supporting their leaders had only to watch the leadership fight between Reps. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and John Murtha (D-Pa.): Democrats still form their firing squads in a circle. Back in 1994, the House Republicans... Sign in to see full entry.
