[Timeout]

From today's Impromptus column by Jay Nordlinger, NRO:

To its credit, the Bush administration was very, very careful not to say — or even imply — that Gulf War II would be a breeze. The only major figure who did was the immediate ex-president, William J. Clinton. Two weeks ago, he said, "This war is going to be over in a flash." That was just before he said, "You can always kill somebody next week. You can't bring them back next week" — because, as we all know, the main intention of the allied powers is simply to kill people. Preferably innocent.

We're supposed to "get over" Clinton, I realize. But if he continues to be disgraceful, are we not allowed to point out that he is disgraceful?

It's one thing if some armchair pundit predicts — no, declares, definitively — "This war is going to be over in a flash." But someone who was President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces only two years ago? Please!

Nam Vet the media now has the Clinton story...

Thank you for those links. I sent an e-mail today to the alphabet networks complaining about their questioning and changed the sort of formatted e-mail for ABC to complain specifically about Terry Moran (moron).

These links will help clarify a few items for tomorrow's rang.

When the war is over, the media will go back to enemy #1. For now they will have to be content for enemy #2 - although I think they're doing their best to compete with Saddam.

YAY! Maybe he lurks here! I just sent my e-mail to Fred and Mort. I quoted the appropriate paragraphs and gave both the source and date of publication. Maybe they will discuss this!

I love Jay Nordlinger. Excellent find!

I'm even on a Nordlinger ping list, but with all my yakking today if I was pinged it may be buried.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
