But moreover, any sentient being has to realize that some of our "partner" regimes are more plausibly allied with the terrorists. If we don't stop the coalition-building soon, Colin Powell could soon be announcing a "diplomatic initiative" to bring Osama bin Laden into the "coalition." Having allies is great, but let us not forget that it is ultimately our responsibility, not that of foreigners with different interests, to defend this country.

Rob writes: "She is continuing to unravel. At the end, she makes some totally asinine statements about how Powell is going to admit Bin Laden into the coalition, as if Powell is in charge."

I don't see her final paragraph in "Detainment is Not Enough" as asinine [STUPID, FOOLISH], rather as apt.

Can we take seriously the administration's courting of Iran as a partner in our coalition against terrorism?

That, to me, is asinine, as is our insistence on dealing with Yassir Arafat--a terrorist.

Further evidence of madness is Hillary's comparison of her critics with Osama bin Laden--when she smooched Suha after Suha's blood libel, when she was Arafat's pom pom girl, when she concealed a 50K donation from the Hezbollah front American Muslim Council by instead listing "American Museum Council".

Powell has great clout--Rush Limbaugh to the contrary notwithstanding--and while he does not Run the Show, he is a force to be reckoned with. Indeed, would Bush have been elected without him?

So, I don't see Ann Coulter having a problem discerning between a hawk and a handsaw.

As a sidelight, I revisited that tiny mention of Barbara Olson in National Review and would think someone would write a suitable memorial--for her incisive exposures of the regime which still haunts us--but, like T. S. Eliot, I do not hope.

Now, if there's a tortured soul self-immolating from substance abuse and self-absorption, that would be Bill Maher, and, yes, to him I say, "You go, ghoul."

I'm behind Bush 100% at this point. I don't think Powell is running this show. And, I don't think Bush got elected because of Powell, who probably would have been Gore's SecState as well.

I am done talking about this Ann Coulter distraction (unless stunning new developments), so have at me. I have said everything I think about this issue already. Additional posts are just repetition.

I like Ann Coulter's writing, but not everything she writes-- she is a great Conservative voice (normally).

I like NR and NRO (but I always read Ann Coulter on townhall anyway) as well, but not everything they publish. Without them, would there be a solid Conservative Movement in America? (I think some other Conservative voice would have filled their place, but NR was there so none was needed).

Looking forward to your Fonda book when published, can I get it autographed? Sorry I never found a transcript of her latest remarks. They were buried pretty deep it appears. FReegards, RobFromGa
