Filthy Mouth Murtha:

Iraq is not the center of the global war on terrorism, and nor is it overwhelmed by foreign terrorist groups, as this administration would like Americans to believe.

Intelligence is definitely not a democrat strong point, when your feelings dictate your life you don’t need to think.

The paper that published his rant, the USA Today, in it’s counterpoint:

pulling out now, as advocated by Rep. John Murtha and other Democrats, risks making a bad situation worse.

Members of Congress yesterday engaged in a bitter and sometimes raucous debate over Iraq war policy, with the Senate overwhelmingly rejecting a measure to bring troops home by year’s end, a move several Democrats have called for but did not back with their votes yesterday.

Meanwhile, House lawmakers traded barbs on whether the Iraq war is linked to terrorism during debate over a Republican-written resolution that rejects a timetable for withdrawal of troops and affirms a commitment to staying in Iraq until the nation is “sovereign, free, secure and united.”

Don’t these two paragraphs provide us a perfect snapshot of today’s political situation? We have the democrats doing their usual jackal imitation, making all kind of noise, but as soon as the going gets rough the liberals “cut and run.”

And then we have the Republicans standing firm behind their commitments, not bowing to the effeminate hysteria.

Which side do you want to be on?

The U.S. military in recent weeks has seized a “huge treasure” of intelligence materials on al Qaeda in Iraq, including a revealing document in which the terror group acknowledges its own “bleak situation,” which translated to pinko means “great victory,” caused by losses on both the public relations and war fronts.

The documents seized in the weeks leading up to the June 7 killing of Abu Musab Zarqawi also have provided intelligence that has helped direct nearly 500 allied combat operations and resulted in the killings of 104 insurgents, the U.S. command in Baghdad said yesterday.

Al Qaeda’s acknowledged failures and the military offensive have been so successful that Iraq’s national security adviser flatly predicted that Zarqawi’s group, al Qaeda in Iraq, is at “the beginning of the end.” He said all U.S. troops could be out of Iraq by 2008.

Man, I’d hate to be a lib right now. No wonder y’all are so upset and agitated. And just think, it’s gonna get worse for you which means it’s getting better for hope and freedom.

Plus, I’m going to be rubbing your face in it every step of the way.

I watch Muslim leaders interviewed on television and listen to former Guantanamo detainees claim torture and inhumane conditions at the base. There is no rebuttal from any U.S. official and no challenge to their claims by any of the show hosts. Apparently, too many in the British media have forgotten, or don’t know, that al Qaeda training manuals teach deception. They draw on a frequent practice, if not a principle of Islam, which permits a Muslim to lie to an “infidel” for the “greater good” of the religion.

The Guantanamo detainees are not innocent unfortunates swept up in an indiscriminate dragnet. These people were captured on the field of battle where they intended to kill Americans and Britons. As for the argument they should face American courts, German prisoners were not tried in American courts during World War II. Third Reich leaders were tried before a military tribunal. A similar venue, not an American criminal court, should be the ultimate destination of these detainees.

Consistency has never been Mr. Kerry’s strong suit, but this is exceptional. We don’t know whether the actions are sheerly cynical or a cynical calculation coupled with colossal bumbling. It would be “bumbling” because prospects in Iraq are looking better this week than they have in some time, and American voters are noticing. The Iraqi government has filled key cabinet posts. A massive raid on insurgent positions is underway (452 raids and 104 insurgent deaths have reportedly happened since Zarqawi’s death). Even if this is not “the beginning of the end” of al Qaeda in Iraq, the way that bullish officials in Baghdad were quoted as saying yesterday, the timing suggests that Mr. Kerry might not even care if it was. The position he espoused this week would doubtlessly unintentionally play right into the hands of the enemy’s strategy, which is to survive long enough to grind away the American will to fight.

Mr. Kerry was a flip-flopper during the 2004 campaign. Now, apparently, he is an even bigger flip-flopper. He seems not to have learned anything from 2004. Even now, with more than two years to go until his next shot at the presidency, his finger in the wind still directs him, even on matters as vital as Iraq.

[That belief has its perils for journalism, as the Fitzgerald investigation has shown. The peril that the press may find itself in the hot seat, but even more the peril that it will get the story wrong. The visible slavering over the prospect of a Rove indictment is just another item in the list of reasons why the credibility of the “mainstream media” has been plunging. There’s also a peril for the political left. Vietnam and Watergate were arguably triumphs for honest reporting. But they were also defeats for America—and for millions of freedom-loving people in the world. They ushered in an era when the political opposition and much of the press have sought not just to defeat administrations but to delegitimize them. The pursuit of Karl Rove by the left and the press has been just the latest episode in the attempted criminalization of political differences. Is there any hope that it might turn out to be the last?](http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110008527

As a Democrat, it’s getting tiresome to explain to all my friends in New England and the West Coast why Hillary Clinton would never, ever win as a candidate because I don’t believe she could carry a single Southern or Midwestern state - and the fallout for local and statewide races in those states would be horrendous. Please, someone listen to me - it doesn’t matter if she’s “running to the middle”, I don’t care if she becomes an Ann Coulter clone, NO ONE “DOWN HERE” WILL VOTE FOR HER. Fantastic cartoon, I’m just afraid no one outside the south will understand it.

Good one, ML. The “Hillar(it)y” of Clinton as bedfellow to Republican war hawkers is certainly rife for humor and an enormous pain in the Dem’s backsides. Are the Dems trying to stick the Reps in the eye with David Hitch’s sharp stick by aligning them with the Hildebeast?

I’m interested to see if the Dems will seriously run her as a Presidential offering in ’08. No amount of rehab will ever turn Hillary/Kennedy/Kerry/Gore/Edwards or any of the big-name Dem aspirants into moderates. Hopefully the Dem leadership will run someone like Warner so we might actually see a horse race next election as that might actually capture the moderate vote for them.

BTW- Kudos to the President for his trip to Iraq (missed saying so yesterday). This was sorely needed and, who knows, it may have some positive influence on the Iraqi populous. Let’s keep our fingers crossed for a change in Iraqi anti-American attitudes and actions.

Fourth, the mainstream media is now discredited on Iraq, and their drumbeat of doom and gloom is starting to rile more than pleases the public. Aside from the bias that counts always our losses and rarely our successes, we are sick and tired of manipulations like the lies about flushed Korans, forged memos, and the rush to judgment on Haditha. Most weary Americans want at least a moment to savor the death of a mass-murdering Zarqawi, without having to lament that he might have been saved by quicker medical intervention.

Once a democratically elected Iraqi government emerged, and a national army was trained, the only way we could lose this war was to forfeit it at home, through the influence of an adroit, loud minority of critics that for either base or misguided reasons really does wish us to lose. They really do.

Hillary may not be as big an issue as Iraq, but I do agree that her presence hinders Democrats. The undeserved perception that she is a big “liberal” and ‘a pushy broad’ make other Democrats look guilty by association. She has consistently back Bush by not setting a date for troop withdrawal and that makes her unacceptable to a lot of Democrats. She’s smart, a good campaigner, and a great Senator, but not electable as President.

PF- I think you know that ‘08 will not be ‘00/’04. The political landscape has changed drastically in the past year alone. If the Dems intend to win they should probably look to a ticket with someone other than Ted Kennedy’s co-Senator and a slick trial lawyer- or they could stick with what has worked so well for them the past two election cycles and run Clinton. If so, maybe they’ll think Cynthia McKinney will give them the edge as Hillary’s VP? (sarc/off)

When you’re not posting Left Wing propaganda here you work on “women’s issues”? What a joke.

Newsflash: There is nothing that the government can do to help you with your issues, other than provide some psychiatric care.

Seriously, any woman who needs our government’s help to succeed in this country, in this day and age, is a hopeless case anyway.

The truth is that if you truly cared about “women’s issues” and not just “Goldie’s personal demands” then you’d be a big supporter of our President who has liberated tens of millions of women in Afghanistan and Irag.

Zarqawi is a turning point. Why?..because it is a rosetta stone for the insurgency’s logistical prowess that until now was this unfathomable phantom of might and mayhem….their general is dead…now it’s probably a matter of attrition and thus a matter of time. With no amnesty, we will have to hunt the insurgents down one by one if it takes fifty years, and trillions of dollars, but by GOD we will prevail and get a islamically sectarian and tribally ethnic population to drink the koolaid if we have to resurrect Jim Jones himself!!!!

The post US pullout scenario has the think tanks worried. No formula yet exists to quell the ancient tribal, ethinic feuds which predate Islam by thousands of years.

Who really knows what Hillary stands for? She, like every other politician is picked, processed and packaged for our consumption as if they were frozen berries. We allow this to happen because we have patience for nothing and a very short attention span. Our attitude is, I want what I want when I want it and the other guy is an idiot for not wanting it too. It’s very easy for the RNC and the DNC to write the scripts for their candidates. Whoever screams the loudest gets the attention - for now.

We do have a system of checks and balances, we are a constitutional republic that rules by majority with respect to those in the minority, and we have the ability to vote. We have a responsibility to understand the issues by getting information from more than one source. We have to remember that TV news is a business that sells advertising and will format their programming in order to attract the most viewers in their target market, thereby getting maximum advertising revenue. Just because your favorite talking head is making ratings doesn’t mean that the whole country loves that person as much as you do.

She does next to nothing against the corporate crime wave sweeping through the inner cities of New York state and around the country - the poor pay more and are defrauded more…

And if the vote were held today, Senator Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic nominee for President in 2008.

And even the most progressive of Democrats would support Clinton in her campaign for the White House.

Left-Wing Activist Poses as Reporter At White House Press Briefings - Where’s the Outrage from the Media?

WASHINGTON — Accuracy in Media charged today that a liberal activist and associate of Ralph Nader has been obtaining access to White House press briefings while claiming to be a legitimate news reporter.

Russell Mokhiber, who sells a $795 a year newsletter that bashes corporations, attends the briefings to make obscure anti-Bush political points. Recently, for example, he asked spokesman Scott McClellan whether President Bush violated one of the Ten Commandments by invading Iraq. Mokhiber, who told AIM that he has never taken a journalism class in his life and was denied a permanent White House press pass, posts his ludicrous questions and answers on a far-left web site under the title “Scottie & Me.”

Other Mokhiber topics have included industrial hemp, Israel’s 1967 attack on the USS Liberty, possible war crimes charges against Bush, and Halliburton.

Scooter, I’m not sure which side you mean? If you’re inferring that because I cited Bush’s pick of Cox to head the SEC that I’m not faulty the Dems as well, then you’re not reading my posts nearly closely enough. This is an issue that transcends political parties. It goes to the very heart of corporate capitalism and unbridled avarice.

As for the Glass-Steagall Act, from my cursory readings, it appears that it was originally implemeted to keep banks limited from the tremendous financial exposure (and inherent) downside and the conflict of interests they had before the Great Depression.

In today’s market, it seems to me that unfair competition is more the issue. I’m generally not a big proponent of banks selling securities, insurance, etc. Nor would I really favor brokerage houses selling banking servies. And for that matter phone companies selling Internet services, etc. and vice versa.

My experience is that many times, when these companies get away from their “core” businesses they tend to mess all of their services up! Look at Bellsouth as a perfect example. And then there’s the entire deregulation component as well! A very complicated issue for sure…

My, my ,my! It appears that BD and @@ have really got their knickers in a twist this afternoon. The emotional outbursts have been just shocking!!

The comments from 3:20 and 3:46 illustrate the difficulty of trying to have rational debates with sometimes irrational people. There is nothing of real substance to counter the argument of corporate corruption I made. Just parsing of words and an over-arching desire to “win” at all costs…

Why is BD so hung up on ghettoes, blacks, etc, etc, etc? Sometimes she feels compelled to frame arguments solely in those constructs, as if everyone is obsessed with it.

And this! I’m looking behind the scenes for motives. I’m just curious that way. Curious? Oh Yeah. Especially if that deflects attention away from the embarrassment of you stupidly and needlessly discounting factual information? Information, you don’t like and would rather not see probably.

We do agree on one thing - the current Democratic party is full of myopic frauds. We disagree on another - the current republican party is full of myopic frauds.

So you attack rather than respond, villify rather than debate. I believe you are simply stuck in your beliefs and like Jefferson said are a slave to them. I’ve faulted Dem and GOP, but apparently not enough of the former to suit you. Too bad.

Bush (and Clinton before him) is now marginally going after corporate thugs, not because it was ever really on their radar screens. To me, it reeks of very savvy political strategy and a belated bandaid on a serious problem. Prove me wrong about this. How otherwise can you explain the absolute explosion of these problems? Don’t you agree that this is a growing cancer that is devastating to this country and the people in it?

But ironically you have shown clearly your true colors. You are no moderate; no progressive. Just another “slap-happy” (I know. I’m using the term in the wrong context, but unlike RW I know when I am) dittohead parroting the Republican party line.

As a former Dem, I wish I could agree with you on this, You know what, I’m just sorry Bush can’t run again. But for me it may be the ultimate credibility killer.

So, right on, @@. Vote green, vote libertarian, vote independent. I’m even considering doing the unthinkable - not voting! Just send a clear message that the two major political parties can no longer hold this country hostage and that we demand yet another time “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

Huge Embarrassment - Huge Idiot - Huge Sanctimonious POS,

YOU said, *There is a corporate crime wave sweeping the inner cities.

That is YOUR characterization, not mine dude, so if anyone is hung up on “blacks” it is you. Moreover, if you weren’t such a fool you’d know that ghettos are not the exclusive domain of “blacks”. Which of course is entirely irrelevant to whatever corporate greed you are trying to lay out for us.

But just in case you are stupid enough to doubt my definition of inner city - here it is:

A general term for impoverished areas of large cities. The inner city is characterized by minimal educational opportunities, high unemployment and crime rates, broken families, and inadequate housing. (See ghettos.)

Now you can tell me (and everyone else who is reading this) what Big Corporations are setting up shop in these inner cities. Okey dokey? I’m betting that the best you might be able to come up with is a local Rite Aid store. Tick tock tick tock…

Palestinians seized on her as the latest symbol of their suffering, and she instantly became an international icon of Israel’s alleged cruelty toward children and its supposed harshness toward Palestinian civilians.

Do we even need to ask which side you’re on?

Israel shows great restraint against the barbarians that are trying to kill their women and children and it opens the door for these pus filled degenerate liberals to propagandize against them.

Just sick.

Alright, I’ve been meaning to ask, what’s up with Queen Pinko’s new picture and her fancy headdress? Is she trying to lure some unsuspecting pinkos into her lair? Once caught, what will she do to them?

New picture or not, it dam-n sure hasn’t helped her with the race card addiction:

He also lived down to the worst of stereotypes about black politicians. Let’s be frank: A black administration operates with a shallower reservoir of public trust than a white one. For many whites, Campbell’s conviction confirmed the tendency of black officials toward malfeasance.

Speaking for many whites, Campbell’s conviction confirmed the tendency of democrats towards malfeasance.

Does this El Grande Liberal understand that every time she opens the black victim cop out she is condemning her whole race as helpless and hopeless? That with her help they will never be considered “equal.”

Some misuse of the FEMA-issued debit cards, however, is hardly shocking. The aim of the $2,000 cards was to give individuals immediate aid to be spent according to his or her judgment, rather than earmarking items that the government guessed would be of greatest assistance.

The 16% of improper expenditures is indeed high for a federal aid program — food stamps and unemployment insurance, by comparison, had respective rates of 5.9% and 10.1% last fiscal year. But these are established programs, not on-the-fly responses that had to process a sudden rush of 2.6 million claims. Unlike a permanent safety net, disaster relief’s top priority is to help as many people as fast as possible, which comes at the price of reduced efficiency.

But just because FEMA faced a daunting task does not mean it should be given a pass for its sloppy oversight.

I guess you can have it both ways, who can blame the pinkos for buying drugs with their “disaster relief” credit cards but shame on FEMA for letting them.

Living life large, eh, LA Times?

How about the next time around making the cards only work for essential items, wow, how clever.

Now I’m gonna get sued for being mean.

It looks like deja vu all over again, specifically 1968, when the Democratic Party came apart at its riotous convention in Chicago, where the streets seemed evenly divided between obnoxious hippies and brutal cops. That convention accomplished the impossible: It made Richard Nixon look like the respectable, responsible choice for president of the United States. Are the Democrats about to destroy themselves again, or will they ever learn?

I’ll bet they destroy themselves.

Critics of how President Bush has handled the war in Mesopotamia cynically point to mounting casualties as a way to link combat in Iraq with what took place nearly four decades ago in Vietnam. There is no doubt that every casualty is a tragedy. Yet, the difference in combat losses between the two wars is staggering. At the peak of the war in Vietnam — 1968-‘69, we were losing more than 35 killed in action daily. In Iraq the “morbidity rate” is fewer than 2.5 per day.

Finally, there is the outcome. We lost the war in Vietnam — not on the battlefield — but in the corridors of power in our nation’s capital. We pulled out and abandoned our South Vietnamese allies and two years later they were overwhelmed. We can still lose this war the same way.

On his trip to Baghdad this past week, President Bush sought to reassure Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that, “I’ve come to not only look you in the eye. I also come to tell you that when America gives its word, it keeps its word.” Let’s hope we do.

Amen, Ollie.

By Hoping For A Good Old Suicide Bombing

You probably already noticed but let me make mention of the fact that “Spammin” at 10:24 is thoroughly excited about the strength of it’s insurgency based on it’s ability to kill innocent civilians. 5 articles that this maggot brings to show how bad the United States is because Al Qaeda kills women and children.

Not only are these liberals not showing any outrage whatsoever for these killings, they are cheering on the murderers.

This is a mental thing, a sickness, that you would draw upon the murder of innocents as a sign of the strength of your political agenda.

Sick in the most major way.

Thank you but I’ll stick to the good things that America and it’s soldiers do as my sign of strength.

You, sicko, can keep hoping for women and children to be killed.

Loser.
