Hugh Hewitt: The Most Important Story By Far
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog —
I'll be very sorry to see Al Franken be declared a winner today , though of course there's at least one more round to go in the courts. And I'm intrigued by the talk of a massive tax cut in the stimulus package . The president-elect surprised us with his national security selections, and perhaps he will with his economic program as well. When he meets with GOP Leaders McConnell and Boehner today, they should push the tax cuts and a strong spending surge for nuclear power. A package they could support would be good for the country. The departure of Bill Richardson makes you wonder how long it will be to a Patrick Fitzgerald in the Enchantment State calls a ...

... PONY! Remember the reverse domino effect? We were going to generate it in Iraq: Our overthrow of Saddam would impress everyone in the Middle East so much that they'd instantly stop being all cranky and stuff and decide at once to be our bestest friends, as well as Israel's; the cascade of free elections in which pro-Western, pro-Israeli governments would be elected was going to be make everyone's head spin. In today's New York Times William Kristol tells us he thinks he sees the pony in Gaza:: But a defeat of Hamas in Gaza -- following on ...

... voted for the war in Afghanistan, whining about escalation in Afghanistan, plus his blink-and-you’ll-miss-it defense of Iran intervening on the side of Hamas given the fact of U.S. aid to Israel. Exit question one: He says the Palestinians are living in a sort of “concentration camp.” Whom, pray tell, does he imagine is playing the role of the SS in this analogy? Exit question two: Tangentially related, is it really true as Bill Kristol says that a heavy blow to Hamas in Gaza will be “a real setback for Iran” ? Granted, it’ll make the Sunni states in the neighborhood a bit ...

AntiWar.com —
T he Israeli propaganda machine has called up its allies in the media and Congress to make sure that no one will condemn the invasion of Gaza, which has killed and wounded thousands of Palestinians, most of them civilians and many of them children. The pictures of small bodies lined up to be buried are convincing evidence that something is very wrong in Gaza, but leaders in Congress from both parties have nonetheless rallied to the cause of Israeli victimhood, putting all the blame for the conflict on the Palestinians. Folks outside the United States who do not have the benefit of the Israel lobby to guide their thinking are seeing the carnage in a ...
