The New York Times ran a piece Monday by two non-"neoconservatives" — Michael O'Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack — arguing that the war in Iraq can be won. Is this indicative of some kind of mood change afoot? Could we really win this war? Could the rhetoric in Washington really change? National Review Online asked a group of experts.

This is a good informational article discussing the conflict between the centrist Dems and the Leftist Dems. It is useful for members of both political parties to understand the issues and challenges faced by the Democratic Party Leaders.

The Bush administration's chief intelligence official said yesterday that President Bush authorized a series of secret surveillance activities under a single executive order in late 2001. The disclosure makes clear that a controversial National Security Agency program was part of a much broader o...

The Bush administration is pressing Congress this week for the authority to intercept, without a court order, any international phone call or e-mail between a surveillance target outside the United States and any person in the United States.

Vice President Cheney said yesterday that he would not immediately close the prison housing terrorism suspects at Guantanamo Bay, because there is no other place to send some of the world's most dangerous men.

MANCHESTER, N.H. Brenda McLaughlin is a long way from making up her mind about a presidential candidate. But as she sampled the lunch fare at Manchester's Red Arrow Diner on Monday afternoon, her eyes lit up at the mention of Rudy Giuliani's name.

False but accurate seems to be the new Dem rallying cry. Rather than address serious issues such as global warming, the looming entitlement crisis & our security situation, they prefer to hold harassing hearings to distract the president and make political hay.

The Dem method is to create some big fuss & hold hearings. When the hearings turn up nothing much, they just say that there must be more and investigations should continue. After all, they say, there must be something to the allegations since there are so many hearings. They say that the lack of hard evidence is evidence of a cover up. They are sure that Republicans are guilty of something and that given enough time and the limitless resources of the government, they can find it.

Dems have been holding lots of hearings. They are very good at holding hearings. Dems like hearings because they can say all sorts of things and not really do anything. When it is all said and done, Dems have said a lot more than they have done.

Of course, if you do not specify the exact crime in advance, it is easy to raise suspicion and dig up evidence. Investigate long enough and hard enough and you can find something, or create something. Tyrants have known this for a long time. Democrats know it too.

Take the case of the fired U.S. Attorneys. The President has the right to fire U.S. Attorneys for any reason at all. He does not have to have a good reason. These are political appointees. Clinton fired the whole lot of them when he came into office. If a Dem is elected in 2008, I bet those holding U.S. attorney jobs on election night will be out of work soon after inauguration day. Congressional Democrats have no legal right to judge the president's reasons. This is strictly a political issue. They can react politically. There is nothing wrong with politics. We have politics to decide issues where we disagree. It is dangerous to try to make political disagreements legal issues, as the Dems have been doing.

The main villian here is John Conyers along with Patrick Leahy. The Justice Department turned over 8,500 documents and made available a dozens of officials for public testimony. If he actually read any of them, Conyers found nothing, but since he has already determined guilt, he is trying hard to spin this as a legal case. He has even threatened a criminal contempt citation to punish those who disagree with him on political grounds. BTW - Conyers' current partner
