From Dan Collins at Bloody Scott: Wednesday afternoon, driving home from teaching, I was treated to Daniel Schorr’s reconstruction of the lies, in his opinion, and hewing closely to the progressive narrative, that led us into the quagmire in Iraq.

From KUNA: The United States cannot be a Mideast peacemaker if American government leaders are seen as “knee-jerk supporters of every action or policy of whatever Israeli government happens to be in power at any particular time,” former President Jimmy Carter said on Wednesday. “That is the essential fact that must be faced and, unfortunately,

Not that I care one way or the other whether Daimler-Chrysler purges itself of Chrysler (just so long as the company that acquires Chrysler continues making Jeeps and Crossfires), but this bit from the Washington Post’s Sholn Freeman, describing the company’s problems, is rather interestingly worded: […] “This supposed marriage made in heaven has turned out to be a complete failure,” said Richard Schmitz of the German Association for the
