Amanda Carpenter: Democrats Disregard Petraeus and Crocker Recommendations

Army General David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker told Congress the President?s surge has started to make political reconciliation possible, but Democrat leadership is unwilling to give the Iraqi government more time and are intensifying calls for withdrawl.

George Will: Is Fred necessary?

Fred Thompson's plunge into the presidential pool -- more bellyflop than swan dive -- was the strangest product launch since that of New Coke in 1985.

Paul Weyrich: The Thompson Campaign

At last Fred D. Thompson is in the race. We shall soon learn whether Thompson lives up to expectations.

Cal Thomas: The non-candidate: God

There is one person who is definitely not running, but may be invoked as the ultimate adviser. That would be God.

Marvin Olasky: Emphasize Earning, Dump Dependency

Is international poverty best fought by distributing aid or by selling inexpensive products with names such as MoneyMaker?

Ann Coulter: From the halls of Malibu to the shores of Kennedy

Democrats claim Gen. David Petraeus' report to Congress on the surge was a put-up job with a pre-ordained conclusion. As if their response wasn't.

Caroline B. Glick: Column One: Where America and Iraq converge

General David Petreaus and US Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker's long-anticipated Congressional testimonies this week were edifying on two levels.

Hugh Hewitt: 9/11 Anniversary: What?s the Future for al Qaeda?

On the sixth anniversary of 9/11, Hugh Hewitt, host of the nationally syndicated ?Hugh Hewitt Show,? interviewed Pulitzer Prize winning author of ?The Looming Tower: al Qaeda and the Road to 9/11? Lawrence Wright about General Petraeus?s report on the Iraq war, the new bin Laden videotape and the global threat of al Qaeda.

Diana West: Compulsory Universal Health Insurance -- Neither a New Idea, Nor a Good One

Amanda Carpenter: Petraeus Responds to MoveOn.org

Army General David H. Petraeus told a group of reporters: ?Needless to say? and to state the obvious?I disagree with the message of those that were exercising the First Amendment right that generations of soldiers have sought to preserve for Americans. Some of it was just flat, completely wrong and the rest was at least more than arguable.?

Chuck Colson: The Fertility Gap: More Christians on the Way

Every time you turn around, a presidential candidate whips out his Bible?or a position paper?to let us know how faithful he or she is. Senator John Edwards (D-N.C.) says God "would be happy with the fact that" he's focused on people without health care. Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) says we should "discuss religion . . . in the positive sense of what it tells us about our obligations towards one another." Republicans, also, are quick to point out how faith informs their policies.
