Sandi Rinaldo on a CTV National News promo just now, in reference to the bombing in Grozny;
“Political assassination in a war with no end in sight.”
Stop.
Stop. Stop. Stop.
Stop talking about this war as though the primary objective is to “end” it. We can end it today – through surrender, withdrawel, appeasement.
The ultimate goal is the defeat of Islamic fascism and the terrorism it spawns around the world. The only objective must be to defeat ideologies and regimes that oppress and suppress freedom and plurality and equality of peoples.
It’s a mistake to hope for an end just yet. There is too much to do, there are too many tentacles to cut. This is a cancer that has grown over decades and it will not be cured in a year or two. As difficult as it is to face the truth, as much as we wish it were otherwise, we must stop hoping for it to “end”, or we will fail.
First, victory – however long it takes.
Then, the end will come on its own.

Look at these cartoons about Condi Rice. Now read how Condi’s testimony was edited to mischaracterize one of her answers. And look at this bit from Chris Matthews: “Let me start with what I think was the best testimony today….
The Practice meets Iron Chef
The Prof himself isn’t the only one making excellent observations on the Professor Bainbridge blog. I found this courtroom interrogation tactic (which a Bainbridge reader caught Ben-Veniste using) awfully sneaky. It’ an old (and cheap) trick in litigat…
Rice: Testimony ManipulationRice: Testimony ManipulationJust
Rice: Testimony ManipulationJust after the Rice testimony had concluded, the local talk-radio station had their usual hourly news blurb. They’re a CNN affiliate – I will assume this was a CNN feed. update – In an email from the station’s…
