washingtonpost.com - Charles Krauthammer -- Washington Post Opinion Columnist (washingtonpost.com)Charles Krauthammer writes about politics and policy for The Washington Post's op-ed page.'A Rank Falsehood'- March 28, 2008 Asked at a New Hampshire campaign stop about possibly staying in Iraq 50 years, John McCain interrupted -- "Make it a hundred" -- then offered a precise analogy to what he envisioned: "We've been in Japan for 60 years. We've been in South Korea for 50 years or so." Lest anyone think he was talking about prolonged war-fighting rather than maintaining a presence in postwar Iraq, he explained: "That would be fine with me, as long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed."http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/~r/wp-dyn/rss/linkset/2005/03/24/LI2005032401690_xml/~3/25... The Speech: A Brilliant Fraud- March 21, 2008 The beauty of a speech is that you don't just give the answers, you provide your own questions.

So said Barack Obama, in his Philadelphia speech about his pastor, friend, mentor and spiritual adviser of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright.http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/~r/wp-dyn/rss/linkset/2005/03/24/LI2005032401690_xml/~3/25... Adventures In Identity Politics- March 14, 2008 Elections can be about policy, personality or identity. The race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is surely not about policy. The differences between the two are microscopic.http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/~r/wp-dyn/rss/linkset/2005/03/24/LI2005032401690_xml/~3/25... The Great Non Sequitur- March 7, 2008 She threw the kitchen sink at him. Accused Barack Obama of plagiarism. Mocked his eloquence. Questioned his truthfulness about NAFTA.http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/~r/wp-dyn/rss/linkset/2005/03/24/LI2005032401690_xml/~3/24... |
