Mark Krikorian

No - don't politicize the Olympics

The IOC shouldn't have given the Olympics to Peking in the first place, but once they did, it's a deliberate snub for us to boycott the opening ceremonies. Read the Article

Andrew Stuttaford

Yes - spotlight China's rights violation

Private protests (so long as they are legal, of course) against these games, their sponsors (Coca Cola comes to mind), and the repellent IOC should continue. Read the Article

Rich Lowry

Yes - spotlight China's rights violation

President Bush hasn't declared himself about the opening ceremony, understandably. If he says he won't go now, he'll lose any leverage over the Chinese. But ultimately he can't go, unless he wants to repeat his father's experience of rubbing shoulders with Chinese officialdom fresh from a crackdown. Read the Article

Who performed best at the Petraeus hearings in Congress? (17 quotes)

ADD A QUOTE

Quotes from this Quoter

National Review

Petraeus

Petraeus and Crocker always counsel patience when talking of Iraq. They displayed it themselves during hours of interrogation on Capitol Hill. They are impressive public servants with no agenda other than trying to help the United States win a crucial war. Read the Article

Rep. Shelley Berkley

No - he shouldn't interfere

Quoted by flyers8821 on April 2nd, 2008

Domenico Montanaro

No - he shouldn't interfere

If Dean aggressively intervenes in the nomination fight, wouldn’t that undermine his neutrality, possibly angering either the Clinton or Obama camps? Read the Article

Quoted by flyers8821 on April 2nd, 2008

Donald Fowler

Yes - he'll play a key role

Quotes from this Quoter

National Review

the US

The Iraqi government’s battle against Moqtada al-Sadr’s Mahdi army in Basra is playing in the U.S. as a blow to progress in the war over the last year. But viewed from the perspective of recent Iraqi history, it is a welcome development. Read the Article

Will Hillary's 'mis-speaking' about her Bosnia trip hurt her? (34 quotes)

ADD A QUOTE

Quotes from this Quoter

Rich Lowry

General Comments

In this case, Hillary's interest—in pumping up her foreign policy credentials—happens to coincide exactly with her supposedly faulty memory, which is a good indicator that a politician is lying. Although I doubt anyone is surprised. Read the Article

Quoted by flyers8821 on March 25th, 2008

Jim Geraghty

General Comments

What's really revealing about this little brouhaha is that it appears that after the first time she told the story and questions were raised, there was no one around to tell Hillary to drop the story. Read the Article

Quoted by flyers8821 on March 25th, 2008

Larry Kudlow

General Comments

No, the real winner here is John McCain. Mac did come under sniper fire. He came under all manner of wartime fire. His plane was shot down from the sky. Shortly thereafter, he was taken to the Hanoi Hilton as a prisoner-of-war — for five years. Read the Article

Quoted by flyers8821 on March 25th, 2008

Christopher Hitchens

Yes

The punishment visited on Sen. Hillary Clinton for her flagrant, hysterical, repetitive, pathological lying about her visit to Bosnia should be much heavier than it has yet been and should be exacted for much more than just the lying itself. Read the Article

Quoted by flyers8821 on April 1st, 2008

Larry Kudlow

Yes

The full effect of Hillary’s cognitive dissonance concerning Bosnia airport sniper fire that never existed, along with her implied insult to the military forces guarding the airport, has probably taken a major toll on her standing in a state that has many red counties. Read the Article
