Iraqis take back the streets

"Can you talk about the correlation between criminals and terrorists? And what are the links between domestic violence and the violence of

political terrorism?"

Global warming........... Bali

"The US delegation did not crumble in Bali. It stood firm in the cause of right and truth and common sense. So it was not possible for the zombies to go as far as they wanted in inflicting pointless, economically-disastrous and climatically-irrelevant policies on the world. For the sake of being seen to do something while they wait for Copenhagen, they have laboriously drawn up a “Bali Roadmap”. Like the Middle East Roadmap, the Bali Roadmap is a non-map of a non-existent road to nowhere. Meantime, we have alarmed the alarmists, and that is a first step towards the dawn of truth"

"Under cover of fighting global warming, developing countries try to slow America's economy"........ WSJ

"Neither Kyoto nor Bali will solve our global energy emission problems. According to a Princeton University study a few year ago the world could hold its carbon dioxide emissions flat if 700 nuclear power plants were built around the globe, for they do not increase global warming. But they are not favored by the climate establishment, and so are not a part of the Bali solution.

Which makes one wonder whether the Kyoto/Bali emotion isn't really energy ballyhoo. Progress can be made in reducing global emissions through technological breakthroughs, not by an economic equality effort by nations irritated by America's economic success over the past decades."

Rush Limbaugh- Democrat primary is all about Bill

"Politicians are learning that personal computers have become the ultimate lie detectors"......IBD

"With Bill Clinton's bridge to the 21st century far behind, Web surfing is rendering triangulation obsolete. When Al Gore invented the Internet, he didn't do the Clintons any favors. Both are slipping".

So much for Border Security

"Congress has also made it easier for terrorists to sneak their operatives into the U.S.

This is in a nation that won two world wars and put men on the moon. The border fence would have been farther along if we'd just given the Minutemen a federal grant in the form of a gift certificate to Home Depot.

So the next time you hear candidates for any office say they support border security, give them a post-hole digger and point them toward Mexico".

Man of the Year-.......Gen. David Petraeus...(and the Troops)......................IBD

"The war is not over, but it is no longer "lost." Al-Qaida in Iraq is on the run, wondering what hit them. Terrorism has suffered a major defeat. Gen. David Petraeus — our Person of the Year."
