Giuliani in 2008?

Giuliani: 'I think I'll return to politics'

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rudy Giuliani plans to return to politics, he said Wednesday, but argued it's too early to say if that will be for the 2008 presidential campaign.

"I think I'll return to politics," Giuliani said during a speech to business leaders.

With Giuliani and Condi as possible 2008 presidential candidates, the Republican bench is starting to look strong. Who's the GOP going to run? From Dick Morris and Eileen McGann (distributed via email -- no link):

Back in the mid '60s, all the usual leaders of the left -- Hubert Humphrey, Lyndon Johnson, Adlai Stevenson, Edmund Muskie and Nelson Rockefeller -- were backing the Vietnam War. Today, Hillary Clinton stands behind the war.

Will Clinton lose her claim on the leadership of the left as Humphrey did? Her support for the war might galvanize the appearance of new leaders in her party, just as the political vacuum over Vietnam led to the emergence of Eugene McCarthy and George McGovern. Or will she switch and play the role of Robert Kennedy, discarding her backing of the war just in time to lead a crusade against it before the elections of 2008? 

There's plenty of time between now and 2008 for new potential candidates to emerge on the Left. 

Outtakes Show that Palestinians Fake News Footage for Distribution to a Gullible MSM

I recently posted on evidence that the famous footage of the 12-year Palestinian boy, supposedly killed by Israeli soldiers, was faked.

An excellent Internet documentary has now appeared, showing outtakes from all kinds of footage, apparently faked by Palestinians:

• A supposed corpse, dropped by pallbearers, gets up and walks back onto the board they were carrying him on.
• A youth throws a rock, then (all in one continuous shot), plays the part of a victim who needs to be carried to help -- without anything wounding him in the meantime.
• Civilians direct soldiers on what to do for the camera.
• A doctor who has just delivered a baby coaches the father on what to say to a reporter when pretending that he'd been prevented from reaching the hospital and had to deliver the baby himself.
• A man claims his hospital was hit by 12 tank rockets -- yet there is no damage to the hospital.
• A supposed casualty lying in the road makes a cell phone call.
  
• The NY Times falls for it.
• 60 Minutes falls for it. 

The documentary, called "Pallywood", is 18 minutes long. Check it out.
