Hungry? Here's Food for Thought

A series of quotes that caught my attention from here and there around the blogosphere. Things that made me say "hmmmmm..." (Then: "wish I'd thought of that!") They are much more brilliant, of course, in the context of the full stories from which I culled them.

Lisa S. at Right Voices gets a nice shot off at the new Madeleine Albright battalion of the tin-foil-hat brigade:

"Also, I think President Bush also has the entire Middle East Peace Crisis solved and a Peace plan in place that all parties can agree on - - but he's waiting until right before the election to unroll it to the general public."

Bejus pundit, typing through the pain of jump school, notes:

The fact that no foreign terrorists were captured in this first major raid underscores how fragmented Al Queda has become...if they aren't taking advantage of the opportunity to wreak havoc in post-war Iraq, it's because they can't take advantage of it.

Darren Kaplan injects grim common sense into the discussion of court veto of wartime presidential powers and responsibilities:

As regards Mr. Padilla, if the Constitution permits the President to order the killing of those who threaten the United States under the inherent powers of Commander in Chief, why should we be shocked to find that the Constitution also permits the President to hold such persons for the duration of the hostilities?

And Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit scores twice on media coverage in Iraq:

But, really, I'd be happy if the news business were in the news business, instead of letting itself be embarrassingly scooped by Iraqi dentists with digicams and blogs.

Hey, here's another reason why this war isn't Vietnam -- this time around, it's the news media who don't want the real story to get out. . . .

What can I say? Indeed.
Heh.
