Gloria Steinem, the famous feminist, followed me to the podium and looked at me like I was a lost child. She proceeded to explain to me that violence has never solved anything in the world.

Gloria Steinem, still a famous idiot after all these years.

Wow! I had no idea that Gloria Steinem had become pro-life!?!

Or did she really mean that "violence has never solved anything in the world, except when it's applied to an innocent unborn child in her mother's womb"???

I guess it should really surprise anyone that a prenatal terrorist would serve as an apologist for the postnatal variety, though.

I turned around to my Under Secretary of the Navy that morning and said—half as a joke—"I do not wish to become the father of the 350-ship Navy." Well, guess what! The last time I checked, which was several months ago, we were at 272.

Let's see, who was president during the time the number of naval vessels sunk to an all-time low?

Thanks, SMEDLEYBUTLER - I heard Hugh read this today from YOUR e-mail!

I will be bumping this to my "Hugh Hewitt PING list" - next...

First, I am indexing this for the Hugh Hewitt bump_list.

YOU can do this, too!
If you find ANY thread that may be of interest to Hugh Hewitt (or his listeners), just post a reply to "Hugh Hewitt," and THAT thread will be marked for retrieval, when that bump_list link is clicked.

(See also the OTHER interesting "bump_lists" on John Robinson's official "Free Republic Bump List Register.")

If you think we have problems in Israel, try putting a Judeo-Christian military system in the cradle of Muslim culture. And when you think about a military of 1.4 million people, with other responsibilities around the world, that is not a winnable situation.

I tried to say ten years ago, over and over again, that we must be involved only to the extent that it directly involves our national interests.

These arguments have been going on for 3,000 years. And when they do relate to our national interests, as this international terrorist movement does, we must act with a great deal of specific lethality.

We must go after the people who are doing this and eliminate them.

If you listen to Hugh Hewitt, or read his commentaries,
this PING list is for YOU!

(If you want OFF - or ON - my "Hugh Hewitt PING list" - please let me know.)

Please post your comments, and BUMP!

Thanks for the ping.
I remember when I first saw Webb being interviewed in the 1980s, my first thought
was "what a cocky @sshole!".

Later I found out who Webb is and what he has done and is doing.
I was such an idiot!

Can't they bomb those cave entrances with some kind of napalm to suck all the air out of the caves and kill the Islamic monsters hiding in there.

For craps sake, this is the 21st centruy, we should be able to smoke out those animals or kill them in there!!!!

good read Ron...better find any allies in countries like Iraq, cultivate them, and give the military the resources and political cover to go in a do the dirty work, and let the new regimes sort things out, mindful that any recidivism will bring a visit from the Delta Forces.

100 of our men , OUR Troops, took out an airfield North of Kabul. They left pictures of the firemen with FREEDOM ENDURES on the pictures.

I just saw this across the screen tonight on Fox News Channel.

Thanks also for the ping my dear friends.

That airfield was deserted--as in ghost town deserted...

What they need to do is start napalming those cavern entrances. WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR??

Seal up the entrances!
