Audacity of Truth
Move Along:
""The whole issue of this - of talking points, frankly, throughout this process has been a sideshow. The whole thing defies logic. And the fact that this keeps on getting churned out, frankly, has a lot to do with political motivations."

Leading from behind will lose us Iraq
**Posted by Phineas This is potentially very bad: After a week of violence in Iraq in which more than 170 Iraqis, including tribesmen, soldiers, and policemen have been killed in clashes during Sunni protests in Salahuddin province, the Awakening is preparing to take up arms against the Iraqi government. On April 24, Sheikh Ahmed Abu [...]
Barack Obama is a petty, spiteful man-child unworthy of the title “Chief of State”
**Posted by Phineas Okay, okay, Barack. You don’t like those ex-colonialist British and you have emotional issues with the way they may have treated your grandfather in Kenya. I get it, I really do. You just don’t have it in you to overcome your childish bigotry. But the British are among our closest allies, you [...]
(Video) The President on the North Korean threat
**Posted by Phineas The Virtual President, that is. “President” Bill Whittle holds a press conference to explain American policy (and opinion of) North Korea in no uncertain terms: Honest, direct, and no diplomatic weasel words such as “unacceptable,” “world opinion,” or my favorite, “the international community.” (1) Neither bellicose nor warmongering; no chest-thumping to be [...]
One in the many reasons to send the United Nations packing
**Posted by Phineas It’s corrupt from top to bottom and the only people who get punished are those who expose it: A U.N. whistleblower who was awarded a fraction of the damages he says he suffered at the hands of the United Nations urged Washington on Monday to withhold 15 percent of the U.S. contribution [...]
Good news! First Lady, State Dept. to honor “woman of courage” who admires Hitler – Updated
**Posted by Phineas My God, don’t these supposed geniuses know how to use Google? Tomorrow, Friday, Secretary of State Kerry and Michelle Obama will pay tribute at the State Department to nine women, awarding them the “International Women of Courage Award” for standing up to repressive governments on behalf of women’s rights. Nice, right? On [...]
John Kerry, Secretary of State and SOOPER-Genius!
**Posted by Phineas This man is so smart (1), he knows countries no else has ever heard of! John Kerry has suffered his first gaffe as the new US secretary of state, inventing the nation of ‘Kyrzakhstan.” In an embarrassing slip of the tongue, Mr Kerry last week praised US diplomats working to secure “democratic [...]
Sunday Links Fiesta: Takin’ the day off edition
**Posted by Phineas It’s a beautiful day here in Southern California: sunny, not too warm, and a bright cloudless sky. A good day for getting out and about and maybe having a late lunch down by the beach. Or just taking the first of several naps. But, fear not! You’ll not be bereft of reading [...]
Egyptian Government to Egyptians: “It’s your fault there’s not enough food.”
**Posted by Phineas That’s the message from the government of President Mohammad Mursi when, faced with the reality that they cannot afford to buy enough food to feed everyone in a country with 40% unemployment, they tell Egyptians to shut up and eat less: “Even Islamists have to eat,” I wrote under the headline “Food [...]
The Unaccountable Government: in which @JimGeraghty depresses me
**Posted by Phineas The depressing part, of course, is that he’s right. Departing Secretary of State Clinton yesterday appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to finally give an accounting for her department’s performance during and after the Benghazi fiasco. The standout moment came when Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) asked her to explain how the [...]
(Video) #Benghazi: Sen. Rand Paul to Hillary – “I would have relieved you.”
**Posted by Phineas Yes! Exactly! It’s the eternal way in Washington: “We are all responsible” means “No one is responsible” means “Don’t hold me responsible.” Especially when the person saying it really is one of those responsible. I’m liking Rand Paul a lot right now. via the Washington Free Beacon (Crossposted at Public Secrets)
