#1 Sometimes it would be helpful to add a hi-lite noting the source of the article that's being abstracted. That way I don't have waste my time finding out who wrote this tripe.

Arab News, forsooth.

#2 Charlie, just hover your mouse pointer over the article title. Most browsers will show the link, and that's how you know. Different browsers show said link in different ways. AoS.

#3 Arab establishment uncomfortable with Rudy's advisors? Sounds good to me.

Nice, preposterous slander with the Pipes/Duke comparison. Also, check out the "war against Iraq". Hmmm, who would be behind that? Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria, Iran? I mean, that's where the money/weapons/human garbage come from to slaughter Iraqis, destroy infrastructure, block reconstruction. Meanwhile, the US and a few allies try to help build a civlized country.

Still waiting to find out what meaning "neoconservative" has. I'm sure someone will enlighten me some time. I have come to interpret the mere use of the word as confirmation of both 1) cluelessness on strategy and 2) a suspicious obsession with Izr'l, and perhaps even with folks of the hebraic persuasion

#4 Pipes, Podhoretz and Kramer? (I'm not familiar with Mr. Hill.) I am quite, quite impressed. Mr. Giuliani should be pretty much up to speed on Latin America -- the government of Mexico hired him as a consultant about establishing anti-terrorism measures and other things after he retired as mayor of New York City.

Giuliani and Thompson both get it... and they are first and second in the polls. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama choose not to, but at this point they're like two hamsters, trying their best to disembowel one another in front of the watching children. (Sorry, I was one of the watching children, back in the day. The image, and the sound of them screeching at each other, haunts me still. I don't remember how many times I was bitten, trying to pull the idiot rodents apart.
The only pets we ever had that I was glad to see shed this earthly coil.)

#5 TW, the image of Hillary and Barrack disemboweling each other is somehow -- appealing. I don't see myself trying to pull them apart.

#6 Come on TW, Barack against Hillary is like a poodle against a spotted hyena.

#7 Let's play compare and contrast.

Rudy is being advised by the likes of Kramer, Podhoretz, and Pipes.

Hillary is being advised by Holbrooke, Albright, and Berger.

Hmmm.

I'm more comfortable with Rudy's people, thank you very much.

#8 The "Arab Community" has known where Rudi stands since he threw Arafat out of Carnegie Hall on his ear.

#9 The Thomson/Giuliani ticket will sweep '08.

#10 How dare Rudy hire such competent and capable people. Makes you think he is 100% serious... This is horrible!

#11 I consider Rudy's packing the staff with hawks a feature, not a bug.

#12 Giuliani/Thompson '08 works for me too.

#13 Podhoretz op-ed in the Wall Street Journal's OpinionJournal.com on 9/11/07. You have to register, but it's free and it's worth it, I think.

#14 I'll point out that Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson would be...

... the Hunter/Thompson ticket.

Wouldn't that blow some minds?

#15 Verlaine, prior to 911, the big money Jews were in the main liberals who even held back Israel whenever they wanted to pulverize paleos for various reasons. Then, along comes a serious attack right on the front porch. They turned anti-Islam within minutes, and thus gained the prefix neo meaning new. They are not conservatives like most of us, but Jews with a brain know a war that MUST be won as well as we. So, the brain dead left came up with the term neocons to slander their former buds. It doesn't work. Most of us welcome neocons and even late comers to the logical view that Islam must end.
