Al Qaedaism and communism By Arnaud de Borchgrave June 17, 2006 Communism had Karl Marx. Al Qaedaism has Sayed Qtub. Who's he, most people would ask. The ideology that nurtured modern Islamic extremism, and spawned every violent movement from Hezbollah to al Qaeda, was born in 1952 when Qtub, an Egyptian writer, returned from studying American literature at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colo. The tipping point from detached observer to extremist ideologue took place at a church... Sign in to see full entry.

This Blogger Predicts A Democratic Landslide in the Fall.................

http://www.vote.com/magazine/columns/dickmorris/column60394301.phtml Dick Morris argues that even though there is a trending toward Democrats in the polls, and that it is not a definite rout in the making, he believes the Republicans will lose both houses of congress in 2006. kingmi _____________________________________________________________ In 1986, the Republicans had no idea they would face a decimation of their Senate delegation. Many party leaders were insecure because the Reagan... Sign in to see full entry.

June 14, 2006 The Mental Path to Appeasement By Tony Blankley The Western response to the threat of Iran gaining nuclear weapons is tracking dangerously toward appeasement and failure. It is not yet inevitable -- President Bush has insisted in two State of the Union addresses and currently that he will not permit it to happen. But most government officials in Europe and here, and of course the dominant media, are already deeply into resignation, rationalization and denial. Indeed, in the last... Sign in to see full entry.

HEY YOU, BROWSING 'GODLESS' -- BUY THE BOOK OR GET OUT! June 7, 2006 The long-anticipated book "Godless: The Church of Liberalism" was finally released this week. If The New York Times reviews it at all, they'll only talk about the Ann Coulter action-figure doll, so I think I'll write my own review. "Godless" begins with a murder at the Louvre and then takes readers on a roller-coaster ride through the Church of Liberalism in a desperate game of cat and mouse in which the hunter becomes the...

Giuliani and Gore are the Spooilers for the 2008 Race......................

By DICK MORRIS June 7, 2006 -- The shape of the 2008 presidential sweepstakes is gradually becoming clearer through the fog of war. There is a surprising and artful symmetry in how each party’s contest is shaping up. Both parties have clear front-runners — Hillary Clinton and John McCain — around whom the race will be formed. In each party there is a looming presence whose entry into the race could change it completely. And there is an assortment of ideologically more extreme contenders who are...

Prince Hassan's alarm By Arnaud de Borchgrave June 3, 2006 Three bombs now threaten the very existence of Jordan -- demography, poverty and the environment. So said Prince Hassan bin Talal, the former crown prince and King Abdullah's uncle. He warned about "the increasing control by Islamist fundamentalists of the masses of poor people." Amman, the capital, is awash with 1 million Iraqis who have left since the U.S. invasion, many of them wealthy businessmen who made their fortunes in the U.N.... Sign in to see full entry.

You Do Not Have to Lke this Blogger -- But He's Always Right!..............

By DICK MORRIS May 31, 2006 -- Green isn’t what it used to be. It was once just the color of the trees and grass that the environmental movement tried to protect. But now it is also the color of the three dollar bills Americans must suddenly pay for a gallon of gas. More broadly, our frustrations in Iraq and the stalemate in Iran give an indication that it is only by following where the green movement points — to independence from oil domination — that we can vindicate the red, white and blue...

Warmed Over Al Gore's new movie is the feel-good hit of the summer--but not much more. BY HOLMAN W. JENKINS JR. Wednesday, May 31, 2006 12:01 a.m. EDT It's only been out a week, but audiences seem not to have poured forth from Al Gore's movie and, in an unprecedented reversal of political polarity, demanded higher gasoline prices. This is bad news for Republicans, who will bear the burden of high gas prices to the polls in November. Not that Mr. Gore's movie advocates higher gasoline prices. It... Sign in to see full entry.

By DICK MORRIS May 22, 2006 -- All of Washington is asking the same question these days: Can President Bush improve his ratings while we continue to suffer daily combat losses in Iraq? The results of the latest Fox News/Opinion Dynamics survey answer the question with a resounding - if hard to believe - "yes." Asked to describe in their own words what issues they most hear people talking about, 29 percent mentioned gas prices, 13 percent cited Iraq, and only 9 percent reported hearing about...

Arnaud de Borchgrave -- do not miss this, thinking bloggers!

Target Russia? By Arnaud de Borchgrave May 17, 2006 Beating up on Russia's shrinking democracy has become a geopolitical blood sport from Vice President Dick Cheney down to unreconstructed cold warriors who gleefully say, "I told you so." They see no contradiction in berating Vladimir Putin's governing style and imprecatory Bush administration diplomatic efforts to enlist the Russian president's support to persuade Iran to abandon its nuclear ambitions. Even Moscow's anti-Putin newspaper... Sign in to see full entry.
