Did you see his interview on C-Span2 last weekend? He was FANTASTIC. If they have a rerun, don't miss it. His voice is about the only sane one around these days. Sure wish the WH would listen to him..........forget the media, they probably don't understand half of what he says!!

I saw the program you were talking about. His observations regarding illegal (invasion) "immigration" were spot on.

GWB's puppet masters could learn a thing or three from this guy.

"Oh, by the way, everything I sent out to you the last two months was sort of censored by the Iraqi Ministry of Information."

Well, at least now we have the Liberal Media Ministry of Information to censor the truth. That's progress!

Victor talked about recently having dinner with Dick and Lynn Chaney. It seems someone in the WH is reading his articles.

"No Blood for Oil"

Of course not! We spread it all over our highways instead! Blood is for car wrecks, not for the fuel to power our vehicles!

"No Blood for Oil" (never mind the people who drove upscale gas-guzzlers to the rallies at which they chanted such slogans)


Gas goes much higher and some of them will be complaining we're not getting oil from Iraq.

Victor Davis Hanson is bright. Evidently, he's now on the faculty at Hillsdale College, a school which refuses to accept federal funding.

GWB's puppet masters

For someone who eledgedly thinks for himself, you've parroted the leftist pretty well with that remark.

As usual, a great article by Hanson.

... such invective wears away support for an action that, by any historical yardstick, was as successful as it was noble... the only chance of that disaster happening would arise from our own continual harping that wears down the will of the American people — and those asked to fight for us in the field.

Leftists are fools, and dangerous to boot!

Kerry variously prevaricated,... — employing the entire idiom and vocabulary of those who are angry about Bush's removal of Saddam, but neither know quite why nor what they would do differently.

Kerry is a fool, and dangerous to boot!

the price of gasoline, despite heroic restoration of much of Iraqi prewar petroleum output, is at an all-time high.
Apparently that is the result of the behavior of our friends. When, exactly, will the Strategic Petroleum Reserve likely to be more valuable than it is right now? Why would it be dangerous to use it now?
