How to there-there us on immigration

A good boy turned bad
Andrew Bolt
SAMIR Ograzden must have had in him something good that should have been saved. Or at least not ground into the dirt.

His girlfriend reckons she saw it.

Champagne hypocrisy

A nice way to expose the Rudd Government’s alcopops stunt

Feeding the junta
Andrew Bolt
I’ve heard two aid officials in radio interviews - one on Derryn Hinch’s 3AW program - go out of their way to forgive or even praise the Burmese junta for its handling of the Cyclone Nargis disaster.

I understand the sensitivity: they do not want to provoke this bunch of murdering, thieving paranoics into revoking their visas and stopping the trickle of aid to people whose lives depend on the help.

But there is another issue to consider: the faith of donors in the aid agencies they entrust with their money.

Obama likens himself to a Hitler appeaser
Andrew Bolt
Barack Obama has a problem if he thinks this speech by George Bush in Israel’s Knesset refers to him:
Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along… We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is –- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.
Oops! Obama announces he is indeed just the politician of whom such a criticism could be made:

It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 6Oth anniversary of Israel’s independence to launch a false political attack.
