Supreme Court: It's LegalThere's been much ballyhooing over the USA Today story about phone companies turning over phone records to the NSA.

NBC has fired reporter Peter Arnett for his interview on Iraqi state-run television, in which he claimed - offering no proof - that the original Coalition war plan had failed, the generals were in the midst of writing a new war plan, and that Iraqi resistance was strengthening anti-war protests in the U.S. I say good for NBC.

An interesting thought... Anti-war zealots were clamoring up and down for months to give the UN inspectors more time to find Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Now, since none has been found in the last 100-odd hours, I don't hear any of these same people clamoring to give the military more time to find them.

I've been noting in many of the news reports about the coming war with Iraq a great deal of reporting on the possible use of chemical weapons should U.S. troops invade. But the presence of chemical weapons is one of the reason we've been futzing around at the U.N. for six months. If Iraq is supposedly disarming as Hans Blix said, then Iraq SHOULD NOT HAVE any

France is Saddam's biggest military supplier... Take a peek at this PDF document from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), which details which countries have sold how much in conventional arms to Iraq from 1973 through 2002. Iraq's two biggest suppliers are - you guessed it - France and Russia. Now, that just couldn't have anything to do with thier resistance to a U.N.

The British Attorney-General declares war on Iraq legal... British papers are reporting that British Attroney-General Lord Goldsmith has issued a written parliamentary statement that war on Iraq is legal based on existing U.N. resolutions, something I've alreay pointed out. The best description I can find so far is from the UK Guardian Online. And, of course, anti-war liberals are trying to

Something fishy here... Over on Right Thinking, there's a discussion going on about American Rachel Correy, supposedly killed when an Israeli bulldozer ran over her. There's a link to this site (WARNING: These pictures are a bit graphic), where there are pictures of Rachel standing in front of a bulldozer, then apparently on the ground after it had struck her. Readers have pointed out how

Two-minute warning... Transcript of the press conference from the Azores summit. As if they haven't already? UPI is running a story entitled, "France 'shows its cards': de Villepin". Investigative journalism at its finest. Pull-ease. Food for thought... Martin Gross has an interesting op-ed in the Washington Times about the left's vehement opposition to war with Iraq. The left is angry

The WaPo goes wobbly... The lead editorial in today's Washington Post is typical liberal mush: Military action to disarm Iraq appears to us both inevitable and necessary, because of Saddam Hussein's refusal to comply with repeated U.N. disarmament orders. Still, we have argued that the United States would do well to agree to a delay if it seemed likely to lead to greater international support,

Photos of Iraqi terrorist training camp... El Rushbo has some astounding pictures of the Iraqi camp at Salman Pak used to train terrorist to hijack aircraft. Frontline did an interview with Sabah Khodada, a captain in the Iraqi military who exposed this back in 2001. Kaptur apologizes...sort of... Representative Marcy Kaptur of Ohio apologized for her remarks comparing Osama bin Laden and

Yes, it IS about oil... Oil for Russia and France, that is. UPI is reporting that Kurdish Prime Minister Barhim Salih will not honor any French or Russian contracts for oil should Saddam be deposed. Salih is seen to be a major player in any post-Saddam government in Iraq. But here's the proof positive that Russia and France are out to protect their own oil ties to Iraq: Russian and French

Why War With Iraq is Legal Anti-war pundits are going on and on about how a war with Iraq would not be justified without an affirmative vote from the U.N. They claim the U.N. has not authorized the use of "all means necessary," and thus has not given the green light for an invasion. They couldn't be more wrong. In 1990, the U.N. passed resolution 678, which stated the following: [The

The Aussies weigh in... The Prime Minister of Australia had some not-so-nice words for French President Chirac. If US and British troops now massed on Iraq's borders went home, "does anybody really believe the weapons inspectors would then continue to get cooperation from Iraq?," he asked. Bush should just go ahead with the UN vote, which the Vichy French will veto, then defeat Iraq and trot

When is bigotry not bigotry? When it is committed by a liberal. Sen. Trent Lott was raked over the coals for an offhand birthday remark to former Senator Strom Thurmond. Lott's remark never mentioned any specific race, and undoubtedly had zip to do with the subject. Two days ago, Virginia Representative Jim Moran made an outright bigoted remark, and he's getting quite a pass. Moran

Miracles do happen. As I'm sure everyone has hear, Elizabeth Smart is home. Of course, the politiclly correct "homeless man" who kidnaped her is being called a "drifter" by the press. They're at it again This report from the Washington Post says it all about the French: France said it does not support the idea of an ultimatum. It wants to "set out a framework for inspections with a work

Six Months and Counting... In case anyone hasn't noticed, the issue of going to war with Iraq has been going on for six months now. We're rushing to war. Yeah, sure, right. Uncle Kofi has a WSJ Op-ed. Tell me this isn't about the UN's continued relevance. The Whittier Daily News is reporting that anti-war protesters trashed a 9/11 memorial while the police watched!

BLIX HIDES SMOKING GUN The Times Online UK is reporting that Hans Blix, chief inspector for UNMOVIC in Iraq, hid the existence of an Iraqi drone that was a complete and utter violation of UN Security Council Resolutions. In a report circulated after his Friday presentation to the Security Council, Blix revealed the existence of an unmanned drone Iraq has never declared. Both the drone and
