This is Osama’s new strategy: To use surgical strikes to change the strategic alignment of international forces. Look at 911 that way. Look at the Mumbai attacks that way.

If Osama can affect troop disposition like that, then he is the first terrorist general, and this is a new era in the war on terror.

Even though no link has been proved between Mumbai and Osama, the confidence level in that non-link is near zero.

Those bozos running the war on terror couldn’t predict the outcome of a bowel movement.

Bush is one of those bozos. Bush is the clown prince of those bozos.

BlogFather, the Pakistanis and Indians were at this before you were even born.

You show your complete ignorance of world geo-political history by your rantings. Those folks have been disputing boundaries and religion for decades.

As a true liberal however, you stay true to course blaming Bush for everything from global warming to that water dripping from your faucet, or is it your nose?

None of this is Bush’s fault. Don’t you know?

In the basement of the White House is a control center where secret phone lines are set up along with extreme weather making machines.

So if a need arises for airplanes to fly into American buildings, hurricanes to hit minority populations or war to break out anywhere in the world a simple phone call can make it happen.

Who controls these phones and machines?

Karl Rove of course.

Nucular, in honor of our sitting president, weapons. The more the Muslims accumulate, the less safe our existence. Playing field leveler…… destroyer of nations and potentially millions of people in the process. The single greatest threat to civilization as we know it. Can you imagine a more terrible disaster to befall our country than a nuclear blast in St. Louis or Chicago? Homeland Security is our most important cabinet position, regardless. All of our present day existence depends on controlling nuclear incidents by terrorists intent on destroying our way of life. We’ve been pretty good at it so far. Lets hope that this lady from Arizona and the Annointed One can keep up Bush’s track record. The downside is unthinkable.

IMO, the solution is to bring our troops home from the Middle East meat grinder, & let the natives fight it out amongst themselves. There’s no “defending America” in the loss of these many brave soldiers & squandering of billions of taxpayer (fiat) dollars. It’s a pure empire building scheme leveraged by a false-flag op (used as the pretext). Our Republic has long needed to cease these incessent foreign entanglements & (taxpayer funded) aid to other countries!

Interesting poll today on who America admires most. USA Today alleges that Obama is the most admired person in the US. States that 30% of Americans consider Mr. Wonderful “the most admired”. What happened to the other 70%? If you figure that 92% of black America voted for him, you could probably assume that they would represent a good portion of that 30%. Then figure the non-black approval which would be somewhere in the 17% range if you subtract 13% from 30%….. then what do you have? A USA Today headline that reads, “Obama: America’s Most Admired”. So much for polls.

Soothsayer - I’m also a “meat eater” who’s for humane processing of animal. I’ve done a “vegetarian” diet for small periods previously (4-7 days, etc.), but for health reasons. I’m considering trying it again (to help cut cholesterol). However, I’m all for individual choice(s) & take issue with the hypocrisy & leftist leanings of many of these animal advocacy groups (like PETA). I believe the Good Lord gave animals (in part) as a source of food for man, but it should be exercised in moderation & decency. Far too many of these “pro-animal” groups are on par with the Envirofascists & their quasi-eugenics, socialist agenda.

Bush to blame?? Another theory.

Candidate McCain, Republicans, and President Bush did not succeed in covincing enough voters that the War on Terrorist and Terrorism has protected us and must continue. Nor that Democrats, any Democrat, will weaken our military and make us suseptable to attacks.

With the help of the bulk of our U.S. news media Democrat’s have successfully taken over the Legislative and Executive branchs of government. The campaign retoric, news stories about the candidates, and recent actions by congress have given the Enemies of the U.S. confidence. They are certain that we have lost the will to fight.

Predictions that our enemies will test our resolve are public knowledge. Enemies are preparing plans and will be ready to activate those plans as soon as we show weakness.

What constitutes showing weakness remains a debate.

How will President Obama react? If Obama were to decide to fight, will the Democrat Congress oppose his efforts?

Bush allowed Osama to escape. Now we have a cockroach who shouldn’t be there, and which apparently has evolved into a strategic mastermind. To have affected the removal of troops who were crowding him like that borders on evil genius.

Pakistan would not have moved those troops and their systematic flushing of the region for terrorists would probably have dislodged OBL into the open and we may have been rid of him. If there is a link between Al Queda’s masterplan and this Mumbai attack, then we are really in for it. This is an escalation in strategic prowess that only a mutated cockroack could achieve. A cockroach that shouldn’t be there.

We had him.. We had OBL surrounded. Bush ordered Rummy 2 attack and destroy him. Rummy refused the order because Cheney realized that if OBL were destroyed, then Iraq’s Invasion would be impossible.

This is treason at the highest level. I formally charge Bush and Cheney and Rummy with this conspiracy of treason.

Jake @ 12:42 PM - Contrary to the Macheveliian propaganda of the RINO/Neocons, non-interventionism (combined with protectionism) does indeed work & was embraced by Founding Fathers such as George Washington & Thomas Jefferson. Those who gain the most from war are the Central Bankers (who often fund both sides), arms/munitions manufacturers, etc…NOT the American people. Legendary USMC Maj.General Smedley Butler summed up those who profit from war quite nicely in his book “War is a Racket”.

SaveOurRepublic - I’d like to think that after Gulf 1 didn’t work very well we thought we’d try the occupational approach that worked rather well with Japan and Germany. Unfortunately, this isn’t working real well either, although we haven’t had another 9/11 and the oil is flowing pretty consistently so it’s not a total failure either. As for the founding fathers they were all merchant class revolutionaries that rebelled against the legal authority because their financial interests were threathened, much like the South did 100 years later. All that high and noble crap was mostly spin to try and legitimize their illegal acts of treason, declaring men to have an inaleinable right to freedom, words written by a slaveholder who obviously didn’t even consider his slaves to be men, for example. Lastly, isolationism might have been possible when men roamed the world in sailing vessels but it can’t work today.

Now I know of one type of livestock that is very humanely treated, served beer, massaged, and then humanely slaughtered. It is know worldwide as Kobe beef.

Like I said before, “I guess the folks who go to church on Saturday should be happy that your view did not carry the days during the 1940s.”

As Edmund Burke said, “The only thing necessary for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing.” I would rather live a a world were good seeks to triumph rather than a world where there is no good because the righteous few loose standing by hiding behind rocks. The problem with the liberal line of thought (using that pharse loosely) is that it ignores reality, had Bush not invaded Iraq the world would not necessarily been safer or better (as is the liberal gospel).

The Union Congress in 1865 was clamoring for Jefferson Davis and many others to be tried for treason and hung.

Why weren’t they?

Scroll down for the answer:

1) The Attorney General and two appointed special prosecutors all declined to bring charges as they felt Davis, et al would be acquitted in a court of law. In other words, succession was not an act of treason (the New England states almost did it during the War of 1812 over their support for England) and nothing would have been worse for the Union than to have won an unnecessary terrible war and then lost in court.

2) Regarding the founding of our country, may I recommend The 10 Biggest Lies About America by Michael Medved. You owe it to yourself to investigate further.

To the contrary he was one of the worst! The states that voluntarily joined the union should have had the right to voluntarily secede. Lincoln was wrong, and the county was torn apart for more than a hundred years and at least 600,000 died for nothing.
