The latest from the Great One.

Best line (among many):

the need to whack Saddam was more important than the pretext on which he was whacked. He was unfinished business from Sept. 10.

Duh.

Also note that Steyn is getting more bold in his belief that Osama is dead. It would be nice if it could be proven.

If it turns out OBL really is a bunch of ashes, it will be one of the all-time great calls by a journalist. Nobody else that I know of is making this claim.

Ohh, I dunno. I think I like this one:

"And do Americans want to hand over responsibility for Iraq to someone who won't even take responsibility for the car in his driveway?"

Another "best line" ( well, one of many)

One day it will not be necessary to sell ''These Colors Don't Run'' T-shirts. But it is as long as Byrd, Ted Kennedy, Michael Moore & Co. are twitching to add Iraq to the pockmarked pantheon of Vietnam, Iran and Somalia.

Steyn should be a national monument even if he is Canadian.

I think every Steyn article I read is the best article I've ever read....until I read his next article.

Steyn always closes with a zinger.

The column was clearly written before the news of Tillman's death. My bet is that there will be a "get tough" groundswell. The CNN coverage will be viewed (to the extent that any one actually watches it) as Bush playing patty-cake. I'd like to start seeing Tomahawks and B-52s destroying problem city blocks, mosques or not.

We were able to pacify and civilize Japan, Germany, why not the middle-East. Sure, the ultra-left wing, America haters claim this is different. Let's forget about their hearts and minds for a while and blow some stuff up!

Another six weeks of Dick Clarke's book tour, of snotty network reporters condescending to the president at his press conference, of the sneering Richard Ben Veniste and emotionally unhinged Bob Kerrey badgering Condi Rice at their hack hearings, of Bob Woodward and his unreadable book filling up slabs of CNN's prime time every night with irrelevant arcana about what did Prince Bandar know and when did he tell Woodward he knew it, another six weeks of things that make Bush ''vulnerable,'' and he'd be heading for a 49-state blowout over Kerry.

Yee hah! Love the way he skewers the 911 Commission in particular!

The 9/11 Commission? Nobody cares. You can't drive the car when you're staring in the rear-view mirror. And, as those polls showed, if Americans are forcibly plonked in front of that rear-view mirror, they lay more blame on eight years of Clinton administration policy than eight months of Bush administration policy.

Priceless Steyn.

That's the problem for the Democrats. If ''resolve'' is the issue, can you beat it with ''nuance''? If I had to name the definitive Kerry campaign headline it would be this, from Britain's (left-wing, Kerry-backing) Guardian last week: ''Kerry Says His 'Family' Owns SUV, Not He.'' That Chevy Suburban in the yard has nothing to do with him. Who you gonna believe? A respected senator or your lying eyes?

Mark Steyn has such a firm grasp of American sensibility...more than most New Yorkers I know who do not 'get' the heartland. Most New Yorkers I know think that the NYT is an objective paper...they have no perspective at all.

Wallowing in nuance, Dems lack resolve

Steyn's getting soft.

That's the first time I've heard referred to as nuance.

Fresh Steyn, get it while you can!

Man, can he do it!

And do Americans want to hand over responsibility for Iraq to someone who won't even take responsibility for the car in his driveway?



If the republicans don't make a commercial out of this line
they are nuts!
