Last July The Jewish Press published an interview with controversial
author and columnist Ann Coulter that became the most viewed article
on our website for 2006. Nine months later, we decided it was time to
once again get Ms. Coulter's take on recent events.

THE JEWISH PRESS: Who or what is to blame for the Republicans
doing so badly in the November elections?

Ann Coulter: The evaporating spine of the American people, the
relentless media onslaught and the feckless Bush presentation of the
case for war.


Have you changed your opinion on Bush and Iraq since the last
time we spoke?

No. There has been a great deal of improvement; Iraqis say
things are moving in the right direction, and we're killing and
capturing a lot of terrorists. But Bush seems to have lost his nerve
and will not act boldly enough either in Iraq or to counter the lies
of the MSM (mainstream media).

What would a Democrat in the White House mean for America's
Mideast policy?

Do the words "unconditional surrender" mean anything to you? A
Democrat president would turn us into a satrapy of Middle East
terrorists. The Democrats would surrender to our adversaries in the
Middle East and would shortly be surrendering to them again in the
streets of New York City.

What do you think about the Obama boomlet?

Barack Hussein Obama? From what I hear, he's got the "soccer
moms trying to quit smoking" vote locked up.

As a woman, do you think there is any benefit to Nancy Pelosi
being House Speaker?

Yes, it shows people the foolishness of putting liberal women
in positions of authority. Another benefit is that every time Pelosi
opens her trap another 100 people become registered Republicans.

The Democrats have been in control of Congress for a couple of
months now. Have you seen any perceptible changes?

Yes, the agenda of the new Democratic Congress is holding
hearings on ***** Cheney's energy meetings from 2000, rescinding their
2002 vote to authorize war, and cutting and running in Iraq. They're
taking America in a new direction: Backwards.

How do you explain the phenomenon of civilized, educated people in the
West shooting themselves in the foot over and over again?

Liberal Democrats breed a certain softness, which is a problem
because we are at war with savages. It takes democracies a while to
recognize threats to their existence.

This is the lesson of Munich, but unlike Munich, the forces of
civilization don't have much time to waste. The danger of another
Munich this time is even more catastrophic.

What's your view on the creation of a Palestinian state?

My American values support the creation of a Palestinian state
in the abstract, but are against the creation of another Taliban. So
there would have to be an assurance that such a state would be gelded
militarily. The up side: at least we'd have a specific country to
attack.

What do you think of the contention by State Department types
and the Europeans that the Palestinian issue is the root cause of
Islamic terrorism and Middle East unrest?

It would be a lot more plausible if Islamic terrorism were
restricted to the Palestinian areas. Osama bin Laden also criticizes
the West for global warming and the American Indians. He should change
his name to Osama Gore.

What about those who say that putting pressure on Israel would
bring peace to the Middle East?

Oh, sure - making concessions to the Arabs has never, ever
worked in the past, so why not try it again?

Were you disappointed that Israel failed to defeat Hizbullah
last summer?

It was good news for whoever decides to run against Olmert.
Every day we allow armed Jihadists to exist is another tick on the
clock to midnight. Both Israel and the U.S. ought to act more
vigorously.

Were terrorists around the world inspired by Israel's
inability to defeat a gang of terrorists?

Does "American Idol" inspire no-talent losers to think they
can sing? But let's not get carried away - Israel did set them back a
little. It's always a good day when the forces of democracy are
killing terrorists.

What should America's policy be in Iraq?

America's policy should be to obliterate any remnant of
terrorism in Iraq with whatever force is necessary, and to do so with
alacrity. Then it's on to Iran! I'm proposing a two-part plan, the
second part of which is, "Let God sort them out."

Do you think the Bush administration will eventually get its
act together and attack Iran?

No on the getting their act together part, and maybe on the
attacking Iran part.

Do you think Bush is strong enough politically to authorize an
attack on Iran?

Once he gets his approval rating down to single digits, what
does he have to lose? Maybe that's when we'll see some real action.
Remember, Harry Truman's approval rating was in the low 20's when he
ordered U.S. troops into Korea.

If no one else acts, should Israel go it alone and take out
Iran's nuclear facilities?

It worked pretty well the last time with Iraq. Israel would
take hits for it, so it would take a lot of guts.
