Odd, that someone of Obama’s education and political experience is “puzzled” that anything he has to say would not elicit some reaction. Worse yet, after taking such a strong position on Iraq and providing such a specific plan to withdraw troops (still on his web site today):
Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from [...]

Kind of a busy day today… but I was moved by reading Peggy Noonan’s column in the Wall Street Journal today. She provides a vivid memory of one man’s heroic experience during the attack on Omaha Beach.
I can’t help but think of all of those who died that day for the sake of freedom. Many [...]

That was Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, in his dissent on the USSC ruling today that Gitmo detainees have habeas corpus rights.
Lyle Denniston analyzes the ruling here.

Since 1775, over a million men and women have given their lives in service to the United States of America, that we may be able to live in the freedom we enjoy today. War is an awful thing, but it has been absolutely necessary to secure our freedoms.
Rag-tag militias fought, some reluctantly and for reasons [...]

In response to Hillary’s ridiculous ad asking “Who do you want answering the Red Phone at 3:00 AM”, Obama provides this beauty:
I will never see the threat of terrorism as a way to scare up votes, because it’s a threat that should rally the country around our common enemies. That is the judgment we need [...]

I’m impressed with Mitt’s decision. According to Fox News, he said:
“If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator (Hillary) Clinton or (Barack) Obama would win. And in this time of war, I simply [...]
In a WSJ commentary this morning, John McCain and Joe Lieberman reflect on the anniversary of Bush’s announcement to implement the 2007 Iraq Troop Surge, and made an excellent case for the surge and for continued managed presence in Iraq, and for dependency on General Petraeus’ skills to reduce the troop levels appropriately in the [...]
