“They’re like a lion tiptoeing around a turtle — they don’t know what to do with it,” said Republican strategist Kevin Madden, a former aide to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Contrary to Joe Biden’s depiction of American in the throws of another Great Depression, the economy actually grew at a faster than expected pace last quarter.

Fred Kagan on the Surge
Posted on July 24, 2008 by The Editors. There are 1 Comments
Fred Kagan was on MSNBC yesterday to talk about the current discussion surrounding the surge strategy in Iraq. Fred, as one of the authors of the strategy, is frankly blown away with the parsing of McCain’s words rather than focusing on how far off Obama’s suggestions actually were.
Further, for Obama to not fully acknowledge the success of the surge of troops and concurrent change in strategy is laughable, literally. At about 1:20 into the video, Fred refers to a time when he asked one of the leading Sunni sheiks whether or not the awakening could have taken place independently of the surge. The sheik responds, “what idiot said that?”
There’s also a good discussion on what to do about Iran. If you can, watch the whole thing.

Great video! I hope this gets lots of play, as Fred so calmly and dispassionately renders the leftist talking points ineffectual.
That both reporters went speechless towards the end was interesting, and may I say, amusing
Nice web site here; I’ll come visit more often!
