Democrats Criticize White House Role in Haiti Kerry said Bush had “empowered the insurgents” by failing to step in sooner and added, “I never would have allowed it to get out of control the way it did.” So, Kerry advocates inserting US troops in a third worl country in chaos to fight indigenous insurgents who wish to overthrow the existing government? This is what he learned in Viet Nam? Filed under: Uncategorized | Comments/Trackbacks (10)|

Iraqi Leaders Miss Deadline for an Interim Constitution. I am not surprised by the missing of the deadline, nor is missing it all that big a deal in and of itself. However, I continue to be quite concerned that an overly artificial deadline for power transfer has been set, and that there has been insufficient planning for that process. The establishment of a stable and at least quasi-democratic government is essential, and I am not confident that the administration has adequately placed Iraq on that path. Also, politically the power exchange could be the issue vis-a-vis Iraq in the presidential campaign. If it goes badly, Bush could be damaged to the point of defeat. Further, no matter how well it goes (or how poorly) there is almst certainly going to be some drama, as the insurgents (whether they are remnants of the regime or al Qaeda types) will not want the exchange to go well. Hence, I expect July to be quite a violent month in Iraq. And, indeed: “Bremer is really pressing us,” said Mahmood Othman, another Governing Council member. “Everyone is hungry and sleepy. This is not the way write the law of a country.” Filed under: Uncategorized | Comments/Trackbacks (2)|

From the OpinionJournal a few days ago: U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacob P. Hart is a stickler for the rules. Spelling rules, that is. According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, while Judge Hart allowed Bucks County lawyer Brian Puricelli to collect $300 an hour for his courtroom work on a recent case, Mr. Puricelli was limited to only $150 an hour for his writing–because it was replete with careless typos. In addition to making repeated references to the “United States District Court for the Easter [sic] District of Pennsylvania,” Mr. Puricelli listed the judge’s name as “Jacon” Hart. “I appreciate the elevation to what sounds like a character in The Lord of the Rings,” the judge wrote, “but, alas, I am but a judge.” Filed under: Uncategorized | Comments/Trackbacks (2)|

Bush Orders Marines to Haiti to Help Restore Order. It is an ugly situation, but our presence will curtail violence and we do have some responsibility here, since we did restore Artistide to power back in ’94. Filed under: Uncategorized | Comments/Trackbacks (2)|

Since a lot of PoliBlog readers care about this topic (or, more accurately, a lot of Google-powered individuals care about this topic who find PoliBlog), I thought I would note that Tony Snow’s radio program starts tomorrow. The show will run 9-12 est and will debut in 40 markets (so says this story, anyway). I don’t know which markets. Filed under: Uncategorized | Comments/Trackbacks (2)|
