Fitzgerald: Arabia Petraea, Or General Petraeus' Middle East (Part I)

Jan 20, 2010 03:50 pm | Hugh

Ever since the "surge that worked," I've been wondering about General Petraeus, and even more about those Leavenworth colonels, the ones of whom so much was made as the army's intellectuals.

Jan 20, 2010 09:44 am | Robert

Yep. The Wilders trial is a showdown for free people, and for the free West. If he is convicted, the freedom of speech will not long endure in Europe, and America will be next. And the darkness of Islamic supremacism will continue to spread, and to subjugate women and non-Muslims,...
