I don’t know much about Rachel, but Bill Whittle is an extremely talented writer who is brilliant at exposing the fallancies of the left.

Here’s a nice sample of his thinking, exposing the popular “No blood for oil” fallancy:

Likewise with a “war for oil.” What would a real “war for oil” look like? Well, US troops would have sped to the oilfields with everything we had. Everything we had. Then, secure convoy routes would have been established to the nearest port - probably Basra - and the US Navy would essentially line the entire gulf with wall-to-wall warships in order to ensure the safe passage of US-flagged tankers into and out of the region.

I love that thought - tell ‘em what a REAL War for Oil is like, and then you prove that’s not what we’re fighting today.

It’s worth mentioning that I have no idea whether his essay will appear on Monday. I hope it will, but he is a meticulous writer. I must quote Douglas Adams, another meticulous writer, albiet of an entirely different genre: “I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.”

If he sounds interesting, I recommend starting here and then reading the rest of his stuff:

I finally got around to reading some today. It took me 2 hours to read one piece because I sat thinking and talking to myself all the while I was reading. :) He really is great.
