Partitioning Iraq is a Bad Idea.
John Moore | May 18, 2004
There is an active discussion in blogspace, including at Roger Simon’s excellent blog on the subject of partitioning Iraq. The idea of a “rolling partition,” where the partitions evolve as smaller units join voluntarily together seems especially popular.
Half of this idea seems very good: democracy from the bottom up. But the other half is very [...]
BIG VIETNAM VETERANS DEMO AGAINST KERRY PLANNED
John Moore | May 16, 2004
A new group of Vietnam Veterans opposed to John Kerry, Vietnam Veterans For The Truth is planning a large rally against John Kerry on the Capitol Steps in September. Their slogan is:
Kerry Lied While good men died
Their press release is here – Acrobat Reader is required.
A Microsoft Word version, often more useful to journalists, [...]
Why Dan Rather is like Tide Soap
John Moore | May 15, 2004
This was greatly inflated by the vast power first shown in the Vietnam War reporting and Watergate. They[journalists] don’t like to consider themselves mere employees. Some, in fact, are not – they are assets in the sense of being marketing brands.
Report: Kerry was Thrown Out of Vietnam
John Moore | May 14, 2004
Military Historian John B. Dwyer interviewed Commander Wright, one of Kerry’s Commanding Officers on the Swift Boats. His article at The American Thinker is revealing. Some excerpts :
Thomas Wright was one of John F. Kerry’s fellow Swift boat officers in Vietnam. Since Wright outranked Kerry, he was Kerry’s sometime boat group Officer-in-Charge, so Wright [...]
Our Little Scandals – in Perspective
John Moore | May 14, 2004
Totally disgusted with the thinly disguised attacks on Bush from the leftist media, via their orgy of pontificating about the few cases where we mistreat prisoners, I thought a little perspective was needed, especially since the press has already forgoten about the beheading of Mr. Berg. For those who breathlessley read the “torture” techniques [...]
Missing from the Journalism Code of Ethics
John Moore | May 12, 2004
The Society of Professional Journalist maintains a Code of Ethics (previously Fisked).
There is a glaring omission from that document. I wonder how many Americans realize that the it has nothing requiring journalists to even consider damage to their country in making editorial decisions (what to investigate, what to report, when and how to report it).
I [...]
Sadr’s Uprising – The Facts
John Moore | May 12, 2004
If you, like me, get much of your information from the mainstream (or in my case, Fox) news, this may come as a surprise (although Fox has an embed in the battle who is giving us the tactical picture).
Here you can read the true strategic situation, from a military leader in the midst of [...]
Stop the Censorship Now!
John Moore | May 11, 2004
I am angry tonight. I hope other Americans are also.
Some of us have long understood the depths of the barbarian evil confronting us. Too many others refuse to understand, even after today’s beheading of an innocent American civilian.
At a meeting today with a nice, intelligent businessman of South Asian descent, the subject of the war [...]
I Hope You’re Satistifed
John Moore | May 11, 2004
I hope you’re satisfied….
You, who mistreated the Iraqi prisoners
I hope you’re satisified….
You, who took the pictures of that mistreatment
I hope you’re satisified….
You, who released those highly classified pictures to the irresponsible media
I hope you’re satisified…
You at CBS who showed the pictures and made them available to the world
I hope you’re satisifed
You who defended sixty [...]
