The New York Times Is Outraged By Saddam’s “Male Only” Golf Course By Marni Malarkey: The New York Times has stunned readers and media watchers by announcing on today’s editorial page their “full, 200% support” for a US invasion of Iraq, “whether it is unilateral or not.” The change of heart came when the Times’ […]

I Seen 3 Aliens Who Was Like Humans Who Started This Thing With Me: One of RWN’s readers (I accidentally deleted his email, he can write me if he wants credit) clued me in to the existence of the Mind Control Discussion Forum. As the name suggests, this is a forum for people who believe […]

Odds & Ends: Just a few odds and ends that were significant enough to comment on, but perhaps not worth an entire post on their own… — It’s been said that the purpose of NATO is to Keep America in (from becoming isolationist), The Soviets out (of Europe), and Germany down (from starting another war). […]

Leaked Memo Reveals Liberal Radio Network Plan By Scott Ott: (2003-02-17) — Nationwide, no liberal talk-radio show has ever succeeded, while numerous conservative hosts have built large audiences. Now, a group of wealthy Democrat donors has put $10 million behind a plan to start a liberal radio network built on a radical concept. According to […]

Useful Idiots On Parade: There were more “peace” (might as well have been Pro-Saddam) rallies across this world this week-end. Here’s a banner from one of them that I cribbed from A Small Victory… Lovely sentiment eh? I’m tempted to simply toss up a few provocative pics and quotes and make fun of the role […]

Exclusive Interview: Chirac Advises Bush How to Avoid War: Shortly after his exclusive interview with Time Magazine, French President Jacques Chirac sat down in the Elysee Palace for an even more exclusive session with an unnamed ScrappleFace editor. Here are key excerpts of that interview: Why is France shirking its military responsibilities to its oldest […]

The Best Quotes From Margaret Thatcher’s ‘Statecraft’: There have only been two European leaders in the last century that I actually respect and admire. One was Winston Churchill and the other is Margaret Thatcher. That being said, I was looking forward to reading “Statecraft” and finding out a bit more about how the “Iron Lady” […]

Gone To The Beach: I’m taking off at noon today and heading to the beach for a short vacation. I will not return until Sunday afternoon. That means there will be no further updates of RWN until Monday. However, rather than leave today’s news on the page until then, I am going to put up […]

A Tribute To Saddam: If all goes well (my fingers are crossed) Saddam will be introduced to the business end of a cruise missile within the next 45 days or so. That’s why RWN has decided to go ahead and get our “tribute to Saddam” in now, before he actually dies and everyone is cheering […]

An Open Letter To France By Ian Wolff: We here at RWN have a long, proud tradition of bashing the French. Yes, we loathed France when loathing France wasn’t cool…well, it was always cool, but you get the general idea. So I’d like to thank Ian Wolff for his fine anti-French rant…and for reminding us […]

In My World: Rumsfeld: I’d Rather be Killing Commies By Frank J: Osama bin Laden is said to have released a new tape calling evil terrorist retards to arms if the U.S. attacks Iraq. In his taped message, he instructed terrorists in battle strategies aimed at causing the highest number of American casualties. These involved […]

Alliances Are A Two Way Street: The following exchange between Colin Powell and Ernest Hollings does a pretty job of highlighting the different way that Conservatives and liberals tend to view our alliances with other nations… “NATO “is breaking itself up” over Iraq, Secretary of State Colin L. Powell said yesterday as the alliance plunged […]

Crunch Time For The UN: After an agonizingly slow, plodding, more than year long “rush to war,” we’re about to get down to brass tacks. On Friday, the inspectors will give another report and then supposedly the Brits are going to ask for the UN Security Council to vote on commencing hostilities soon afterwards. It’s […]

Poets Against The War: Today is the much awaited (at least by me) “Day of Poetry Against the War.” All over the net, people who aren’t even skilled enough to even pen a proper anti-war editorial have sent their poetic scribblings to an anti-war poetry page that put 5300 of them up. I read about […]

The Mark Steyn Interview: A couple of weeks ago, I was delighted when Mark Steyn agreed to do an interview via email with me. I’ve said more than once that I think Steyn is the best in the business at what he does and apparently a lot of people agree with me since warbloggers arounds […]

An Observation About Democrats And Toilet Paper: After the 2002 elections, Democrats came to the conclusion that their biggest mistake was not being critical enough of Bush. Personally, I think their weak stand on the war, their lack of ideas, and even the Wellstone memorial service had more to do with their faltering in the […]

Cross-Blog Iraq Debate: The Questions: The Truth Laid Bear is sponsoring a, “Cross-Blog Iraq Debate.” The general idea is that the pro-war & anti-war sides will pose questions that they’d like to see the other side answer. Here are my replies to the best questions the anti-war side could come up with… “1) Attacking Iraq […]

Dragons, Unicorns, Goblins, Ogres And Trolls — All Have Once Existed: In today’s edition of ACPOTI (Anyone Can Post On The Internet), I decide to explore the world of the paranormal on the forums of The Fortean Times — The Journal Of Strange Phenomena. While there were more than a few scary people on these […]

New UN Resolution Gives Iraq Only 12 More Years By Scott Ott: (2003-02-10) — France today will introduce a new resolution in the United Nations Security Council giving Iraq “only 12 more years to comply” with the UN resolutions of the past 12 years. The resolution is the hardest line yet taken by the French, […]

The Consequences Of The Anti-War Crowd’s Position: The possible negative consequences of an Iraqi invasion have been discussed ad nauseum in recent months. We’ve been told that hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians could die, many Americans will die in street to street fighting, that the risk of terrorism will be increased, that our attacks […]

The First Annual Warblogger Awards: In order to recognize the excellent work some of our fellow warbloggers have been doing, RWN created the first annual “Warblogger Awards”. More than 125 bloggers were invited to vote for their favorite blog in numerous categories. Of the 125 bloggers who were invited to judge the contest, 67 responded […]

More Plagiarized Material Found In Another British Intelligence Dossier: After learning that Britain’s last intelligence dossier contained large amounts of material plagiarized from a graduate student, reporters combed through previous dossiers and found more suspect material. The following section of a December, 2002 intelligence dossier is thought to have come from a homework assignment done […]

I Get Letters: This may shock some of you, but there are actually people out there that don’t agree with me. I know, I know, I believed all those left-wingers who said that dissent was no longer allowed in America just like you did. Now your first reaction after learning that there is still dissent […]

800,000+ Illegals Entering Annually In Late ’90S By Mark Krikorian: On January 31, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) released its latest estimates of the illegal alien population in the United States. While several media outlets have reported the overall findings that 7 million illegal aliens lived in the United States in 2000, other information […]

There Are Presently 90,000 Chinese Soldiers In Uniform 20 Miles South Of Tijuana: One of RWN’s readers, Nick Bouterie, sent me an email that he received from one of his friends who seems to be a member of the “black helicopter crowd.” The email proved to be entertaining reading, so I decided to take Nick’s […]

Misc: A few things of note… — RWN contributor Alan Caruba has finally sent his first book, Warning Signs to market. If you like Alan’s work you should give it a look. — If you’re looking to improve your web related skills, I’d like to recommend LVS Online to you. Personally I’m taking two courses […]

What’s Next? Will They Title A Report In Crayon?: I cannot believe that the Blair administration made this sort of boneheaded mistake… “Channel Four News has learnt that the bulk of the nineteen page document (link goes to word document) was copied from three different articles – one written by a graduate student. On Monday, […]

Since today is Ronald Reagan’s 92nd birthday, I thought it would be a good time to remind people of what Reagan accomplished during his eight years in office. That shouldn’t be necessary, but Reagan’s critics continually harp upon the faults of his administration (increasing the debt, Iran Contra) & regularly attempt to distort his record […]
