Thoughts and links from Instapundit.
We’ve been letting Iran get away with far too much for four decades. And the George W. Bush administration was feckless in that regard as well. I had thought one of the primary purposes of removing Saddam was to pressure Iran, but if that was part of the plan they botched it almost completely.

Horowitz destroys the media lie that he found no political bias.
This is not great news. I don’t understand why Ross hasn’t gone to Congress, but I also don’t understand how he thought he was going to get the funding without doing so.
I’d like to see this happen, but not a chance with this House. Maybe after the election, if the Republicans take it back.
It’s now the 75th anniversary. Here’s a satire I wrote to commemorate the 60th.
Thoughts from Michael Barone.
I’m encouraged that he wants to emphasize science and technology. This could create some useful Anglospheric alliances in space, particularly if he sets up a Royal Space Force.

He’s going after the Beeb. That would be amazing if he could get rid of that pack of leftist hacks.

An interesting article on General Kwast (who reportedly has people read my book), but isn’t it obvious that he’s talking about things like Starship? Nothing magical or secret here.
RIP, Dame Mary Barraco. What a story.
