Nobel Peace laureate Betty “Kill Bush” Williams inspired my column today–as well as today’s Bizarro John and Yoko music video from Hot Air producer Bryan Preston and me. All the peaceniks are saying is “Give Jihad a Chance:”

***Update: UN Security Council statement***
So, UN chief Kofi Annan is accusing Israel of deliberately targeting the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) observer post. The NY Post editorial page rightly excoriates Annan. You’ll hear Annan’s hysterical charges embraced and echoed in the MSM throughout the day.
Richard Fernandez at The Belmont Club has the must-read [...]

A MILITANT Islamic group has filed a [...]

Speaking of redesign, the moonbats at digg are whining about the format of my blog post headlines. So, I’ve turned off the caps. (Update: Well, I tried to, but it didn’t work. [...]

See if you can get through this Washington Post sob story about 100 illegal alien criminals being deported without getting your eyeballs stuck in your head from rolling them upwards repeatedly. Don’t miss the multimedia slideshow full of poor, shackled deportees…with MS-13 gang tattoos!:

Hard for me to decide which takes the cake–the reporter’s failure to [...]

CENTCOM sends some news from Iraq:
Coalition forces killed one terrorist, wounded another and detained one associate during a raid north of Balad on the morning of June 24.

Things don’t look good down at the southern border where the Minutemen Civil Defense Corps has supposedly been using gobs of citizen donations to build a fence to keep out illegal aliens. The Washington Times, which has supported the project (as have I), editorializes today:

First, he wears a Nazi uniform.

Jeff Jacoby has a good smackdown:
The founders of the American republic were unambiguous in rejecting any hint of military supremacy. Under the Constitution, military leaders take their orders from civilian leaders, who are subject in turn to the judgment of ordinary voters. Those who wear the uniform in wartime are entitled to their countrymen’s esteem [...]

Allah’s in the house.

Chris Matthews and Pat Buchanan got on my nerves this weekend.
Matthews sputters that if the “neoconservatives” had “been in a schoolyard fight in high school like they should have been, we wouldn’t be seeing the world we’re getting from them today.”
Buchanan blusters: “They’re calling for wars against people that never attacked us. I don’t [...]

Anonymous blabbers and their stenographers at the NYTimes are at it again:
The Bush administration is rushing a delivery of precision-guided bombs to Israel, which requested the expedited shipment last week after beginning its air campaign against Hezbollah targets in Lebanon, American officials said Friday.

Cal Thomas raves about Oliver Stone’s upcoming 9/11 movie, World Trade Center:
Whatever one thinks of Oliver Stone, the man knows how to make movies. This is one of his best. It deserves an Oscar in so many categories. It also deserves the thanks of a grateful nation. Go and see it beginning Aug. 9 and [...]
