Quickhits again

It's late, so here's a quickhits post.

Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld asserted today that "progress has been good" in the war in Iraq.

Apparently Dick Cheney's massive tax refund of $1.8 million was achieved by using the Hurricane Katrina Tax Relief Act. The only problem, apparently "none of the charitable contributions actually went to Katrina-related charities."

At the Security Council today, the Israeli Ambassador, warning of a "new axis of terror," said,
"A dark cloud is looming above our region, and it is metastasizing as a result of the statements and actions by leaders of Iran, Syria, and the newly elected government of the Palestinian Authority," Gillerman said.

"These recent statements are clear declarations of war, and I urge each and every one of you to listen carefully and take them at face value."

Hmmmm.....The Palestinians, Iranians, and Syrians haven't taken any terror actions against the US. I wonder if Israel wants the US to attack another one of its enemies.... Paging Bill Kristol. Bill Kristol to the courtesy phone.
