Spiritual counselor wanted

A Long Island monsignor offers himself as Big O.’s pastor, to replace those being thrown under the bus:

Monsignor Jim Lisante of Rockville Centre, LI, praised GOP nominee Sen. John McCain and said, “A lot more of us would be comfortable with [Obama’s] judgment skills if he hadn’t sat for 20 years through the words offered by his preacher of division, bigotry . . . without a word of rejection from Sen. Obama – that is, until the media brought it up. And now he doesn’t want any part of the guy. I’m willing to be his pastor.”

A generous offer, I’d say.

On the run from us

Can this be true?  Is Harry Reid wrong?

Less than a year after his agency warned of new threats from a resurgent al-Qaeda, CIA Director Michael V. Hayden now portrays the terrorist movement as essentially defeated in Iraq and Saudi Arabia and on the defensive throughout much of the rest of the world, including in its presumed haven along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

That’s WaPo today, citing “major gains . . . an increasingly successful campaign.” 

Al Q has lost its mojo in the Islamic world, two years after The CIA reported “a propaganda and marketing bonanza [in Iraq] for al-Qaeda, generating cash donations and legions of volunteers.”

Thing is, things happen.  Let’s hear it for Bush policies — from the honest people.
