Saying Saddam said he had the weapons..trying to say Judith Miller used Chalabi as source for WMDs..should be scrutinized like Rather...
Dem program caller..saying she was a soccer mom and knew how highly unlikely it was that WMDs were in Iraq.

Now on illegal immigration..blaming both parties for ignoring...

On visa express..outrageous way the bombers filled out their info./got drivers licenses

Cocking a snoot?

It's much like stuning a beeber, but requires a permit.

Judith Miller wrote a lot about Iraq's WMD. I'm sure I still have some in a file in my favorites.

Regular lib cspan caller challenging Steyn for not completing college. Lame question. Mark uses every question to launch into wonderful discoursel He really is a master.

I bet the lib viewers who are still tuned in, are having fits.

He's saying our education system is teaching in college what we should be teaching in high school. Here is a friendly call about communities in Canada wanting to adopt Sharia law. Points out to a WaPo article before the war that had lots of justifications other than WMD.

This is the first time I've seen him..........Rapid fire, Confident, Whole strings of facts and anecdotes at his command used to back up all his points, Stares steely-eyed into the camera and means it, Serious (....very serious), Sprinkling of that Steyn wit, juxtapositioning and turn-of-phrase throughout

Impressive.

Steyn believes you learn more up to the 8th grade. They are teaching in high school what they should be teaching in middle school these days.

He told a story about when he worked for the BBC, he wrote script for a program and didn't need a college degree. They secretary who typed his script was required by the BBC to have a college degree.

He's so right about college. I didn't go to college, and I have done fine in an environment where most ppl have degrees. I graduated 318th out of 325 in high school, and had to go to summer school AFTER senior year--and was barred from graduation ceremonies. Now I have a good paying professional job. Most colleges are dumbed down severely, and I know this to be a fact because most ppl I meet with a college degrees are not that bright.

Says they are using Sharia tribunals to adjudicate various disputes in the Muslim community. There is becoming a de facto recognition of the Sharia implementation. Now there is a nut case on the line. The Bush's want a flood of immigrants from Mexico because it's good for business and Jeb is married to an hispanic.

He bemoans the lack of proper education from primary through high school in US...says colleges are teaching things that high scool should have taught..
Question about sharia used in Ontario to settle some things and he mentions it is being used in UK..creeping sharia code acceptance.

Says Iraq was a war of necessity, not, as caller suggested, because we are in the pocket of Israel.
