Thank you very much Margaret. That is very kind of you to say.

Well if ever you feel a need to vent publicly let me know I would love to publish others on this blog.

I have none. I just click away @ least 3-4 hrs a day, generally. However, I’m a devotee of Wretchard and his bloggers, and your comments usually mirror what I’d say if I was that articulate. I’m especially fond of Nahncee’s commentaries.

We (this country) are really in a mess. My grandson works in D.C. (for the moderate wing of the Republican Party). He believes the GOP will go down in flames next year and that the next 5.5 yrs. will be a real mess. So he’s taking the exam for State Dept.’s foreign service (to get the heck out of Dodge, so to speak). I’m not quite there yet and refuse to believe that 50 point whatever of the voters will elect either Hillary or Hussein.

I’m a delegate to the Tx GOP State Convention and am active @ the local level. I contribute whatever I can to individual candidates (not to the RNC). I recommend Belmont Club to my bridge playing senior citizens almost weekly. It is just stunning how uninformed they appear to be.

Keep up the good work.

It’s not only depressing, it makes me grind my teeth.

Even though I have undergrad and grad degrees in Criminology (of which Terrorism is a part), I don’t consider myself especially brilliant. I’m a female 76 year old grandmother, and I GET IT! I’m a Christian, Zionist Republican, trying hard not to get BDS in the final stages of this administration. I have reduced the entire mess to bottom-line black and white. Us v Them. The West v. Islam. Kill as many of them as we can before they kill as many of us as they can. I’m waiting for our next Man of Destiny (Guiliani, Thompson, Newt????) to tell it like it really is and save us from ourselves and Islam.

These comments have nothing to do with the Australian Colonel who is advising Gen. Petraeus. I believe General Petraeus is the best we have for the job he’s been given. He can sift thru the advice from the Australian. And Debra West is a “big girl” with a mighty pen.

Excellent post.

I am a big fan of Diana West also and left a comment to your comment on Michelle Malkin’s web site.

Lt. Col. Kilcullen’s comment attacking Diana West, “Alternatively, you may think Islam contains illiberal and dangerous tendencies” is almost beyond all belief.

It is almost beyond parody in fact, but not quite.

“Alternatively, you may think water is wet and fluid” would make about as much sense.

Hi, you might be interested in reading my take of West’s article — a criticism from another angle, so to speak:
