Mrs. Clinton has tried on missile defense, as on so many issues, to straddle both sides, a fact New Yorkers are starting to recognize and that is no doubt responsible for her plummeting approval ratings among New Yorkers. On June 17, she sided with Republicans and the few genuinely centrist hawkish Democrats - Zell Miller, Joseph Lieberman - in a pro-missile defense vote. But on the June 23 and 22 votes, she turned around and joined Messrs. Schumer and Feingold and Ms. Boxer on the anti-missile-defense side.-NY Sun Editorial

It just keeps getting better:

Last June, the Los Angeles Times reported how the ranking member on the defense appropriations subcommittee has a brother, Robert Murtha, whose lobbying firm represents 10 companies that received more than $20 million from last year’s defense spending bill. “Clients of the lobbying firm KSA Consulting — whose top officials also include former congressional aide Carmen V. Scialabba, who worked for Rep. Filthy Mouth Murtha as a congressional aide for 27 years — received a total of $20.8 million from the bill,” the L.A. Times reported.

In early 2004, according to Roll Call, Mr. Filthy Mouth Murtha “reportedly leaned on U.S. Navy officials to sign a contract to transfer the Hunters Point Shipyard to the city of San Francisco.”-Washington Times

Pete Dupont didn’t get rich by being stupid:

So expanding America’s energy production is the obvious priority. Common sense would suggest that we should begin tapping into the estimated 102 billion barrels of oil sitting under America’s Outer Continental Shelf and in Alaska. That domestic supply could replace America’s importation of foreign oil for some 25 years.-Wall Street Journal

Congress has also limited the capacity to refine our oil. After Hurricane Katrina, a bill to streamline the refinery permitting process—we have not built a new one since 1976—and encourage the building of refineries on closed military bases was blocked in the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee when every Democratic senator, along with Jim Jeffords (I., Vt) and Lincoln Chaffee (R., R.I.) voted “no.” (131 words!

Here’s Pat Buchanan, noted Bush critic, who quite a few of you have been quoting lately:

This sentence restated the Natural Law teaching of Thomas Aquinas. Homosexuality is against nature, contra naturam. It also said what was, by then, obvious to all. Acts that cannot be described in this publication were transmitting a dread and deadly disease that was killing homosexuals in the hundreds, and would soon kill them in the scores of thousands.- Human Events

• What does all of this tell us? Our society is being marinated in lies — the lie that homosexuality is a natural, normal and healthy lifestyle; the lie that those who think otherwise are all hateful bigots; the lie that the diseases that afflict the homosexual community are the fault of an uncaring society.*

Yet there is no question the middle class would still be subject to the estate tax without the efforts of those seeking its repeal. Liberal supporters of the estate tax who now say they favor a big increase in the exemption would never hold this position unless political support for repeal was so strong they have no other choice.

When a tax is arbitrary and falls on mainly on the ignorant while the sophisticated are exempted, this is usually an excellent argument for getting rid of that tax. In my opinion, estate tax supporters have a lot of nerve turning a fatal flaw in that tax into a prime virtue.-Bruce Bartlett, Washington Times

But the parents of the millions of children stuck in persistently failing public schools have a different perspective. They must wonder why their congressional representatives are so unwilling to give them the option to send their child to a quality school. After all, a 2003 survey found 42 percent of members of Congress had chosen to send at least one child to private school. These constituents want the same opportunity to give their children the best education possible.-Washington Times

While the Palestinians raise their children on visions of blood and murder, the Israelis are largely preoccupied by the business of producing, creating, making a living. Consider, for example, the vast Gaza greenhouses handed over from the departing Israelis to the Palestinians. In the hands of the society that “made the desert bloom,” these greenhouses produced millions of dollars worth of produce. Under Palestinian control, they were looted and their products have literally been left to rot. As with the Cold War examples of East and West Berlin, Gaza and Israel offer side-by-side laboratories for opposing moralities.RealClearPolitics

Myron Ebell, Director of Global Warming and Energy Policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, argues that if the Federal Government would allow development of offshore and onshore areas, including ANWR, America could increase our energy supply and lessen our dependence upon foreign sources. Ebell wrote recently on HUMAN EVENTS ONLINE: “Within a few years, an additional million barrels a day could be flowing to West Coast refineries. And if President Clinton hadn’t vetoed ANWR legislation in 1995, that oil would be flowing today.” ANWR’s development can help to lessen our dependence on foreign oil; so also would the careful opening of other protected onshore and offshore sites.

Two California soldiers shot to death in Iraq were murdered by Iraqi civil-defense officers patrolling with them, military investigators have found.

The deaths of Army Spc. Patrick R. McCaffrey Sr. and 1st Lt. Andre D. Tyson were originally attributed to an ambush during a patrol near Balad, Iraq, on June 22, 2004.

But the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command found that one or more of the Iraqis attached to the American soldiers on patrol fired at them, a military official said Tuesday.

It sure is convenient for the Iraqi troops to kill our American soldiers now that they are on our side, isn’t it ! ? ! Add the NEW Iraqi troops to the list of groups that American soldiers are fighting in Bush’s IRAQI CIVIL WAR.

Since this cartoon is about the Iraq War, here is my on topic contribution for the day:

Just as Saddam ordered, many of Iraq’s senior military and intelligence personnel joined or aided Zarqawi’s jihad. Many of the more prominent supporters and members of Zarqawi’s al Qaeda branch, in fact, came from the upper echelon of Saddam’s regime…

These Baathists, and others, have spilled much blood in Zarqawi’s name. Their attacks were among “Zarqawi’s” most successful, including an assault on the Abu Ghraib prison and the first attack on the U.N.’s headquarters. The latter strike was among al Qaeda’s earliest, killing Sergio de Mello, the U.N.’s special representative in Baghdad, in August 2003.

You may want to join the “Partnership from Hell,” these two guys are all for your restriction of gas guzzlers no matter what pain and suffering it may inflict on working Americans. Send your resume quick, times awastin’

So, mom’s need HUGE SUV’s that get 10-17mpg that do not even have jobs? Do they really need to drive alone in a vehicle that holds 7+ people? Do we really need SUV’s were a driver is more likely to be killed than riding in a car? Do normal people need SUV’s?

SUV’s aren’t required to meet the same gas mileage and pollution standards:

The recent popularity of SUVs is one reason the U.S. population consumes more gasoline than in previous years. SUVs are as a class much less fuel efficient than comparable passenger vehicles. The main reason is that SUVs are classified by the U.S. government as light trucks, and thus are subject to the less strict light truck standard under the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations. The CAFE requirement for light trucks is an average of 20.7 mpg (US), versus 27.5 mpg (US) for passenger cars (11.4 and 8.6 L/100 km, respectively).

Don’t you think thats a little unfair? Why do we need SUV’s that are driven on the same roads as cars, yet dont meet the same gas and pollution standards?

About a year before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, historian Martin Gilbert visited the Oval Office to talk about the leadership of Winston Churchill during the Second World War. Based on the work of this preeminent 20th-century historian, we can guess what traits he might have emphasized: realism and vision. When it came to measuring the brutalities and sacrifices of war against the existential threat of fascism, Churchill was peerless. “War is terrible,” he wrote during the parliamentary debate over German aggression, “but slavery is worse.”-National Review

ml must be scribbling about the editors ability to fool people, by publicizing excerpts of transcripts and speeches that will lead the leadable into forgetting the twelve years of deceit and trickery, so we could continue to trust the corrupted UN?

Uncovered Duelfer Report excerpt: Saddam’s primary goal from 1991 to 2003 was to have UN sanctions lifted, while maintaining the security of the Regime. He sought to balance the need to cooperate with UN inspections—to gain support for lifting sanctions—with his intention to preserve Iraq’s intellectual capital for WMD with a minimum of foreign intrusiveness and loss of face.…

The introduction of the Oil-For-Food program (OFF) in late 1996 was a key turning point for the Regime. OFF rescued Baghdad’s economy from a terminal decline created by sanctions. The Regime quickly came to see that OFF could be corrupted to acquire foreign exchange both to further undermine sanctions and to provide the means to enhance dual-use infrastructure and potential WMD-related development.

Take off the rose tinted glasses and see what a thriving, free city Baghdad isn’t:

“But just hours before American television screens began to be filled with upbeat clips of President Bush’s surprise trip to Baghdad last week, the United States Embassy there cabled back a far grimmer picture of the mounting difficulties faced by its Iraqi employees.

“The cable, reprinted by The Washington Post, told of embassy employees running a daily gantlet of religious dress-code enforcers and harassment by militia-style security guards — even at checkpoints surrounding the fortified Green Zone, where the embassy is located. When the Iraqi employees return to their homes, they face sweltering neighborhoods without regular electric power, daylong gasoline lines, and families torn by religious and ethnic tensions and mounting fears for the future.”

Here’s the original Washington Post story, with a pdf link to Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad’s cable. Welcome to Baghdad.

The biggest sacrifice most Americans make for “supporting” our troops is deciding whether to put a yellow bumper-sticker on their cars, versus a pink one. Great way to “support our troops”, huh?

I have a couple of ideas: How about bringing our troops home when the “mission” is accomplished, such as when we removed the evil dictator and put him on trial for the Iraqis to determine his fate? How about we NOT ask our troops to stay in Iraq while a civil war is taking place between all of the tribes there? How about supporting our troops by NOT slashing veterans’ benefits to try to make-up for all of the tax-cuts given to the wealthiest Americans during a time of war?

How about let’s hear some real suggestions for how we can “support” our troops, all you right-wing trolls here with your brilliance — and it’s not “support OUR PRESIDENT” no matter what a jack@ss he may be. We’ve all heard that from you ad nauseum…

Said Sgt. 1st Class George Wozniak, 36, of Murtha: “He’s definitely for a strong military and he definitely supports the troops.” Patriotism runs deep in Murtha’s district in the Allegheny Mountains, where joining the military is a family tradition and often an economic necessity. Many served in Vietnam and that war exacted a heavy toll, with Allegheny County losing 421 men and Washington County, part of Murtha’s district, losing 67. Memorials to those killed are scattered throughout the towns and cities of western Pennsylvania.

Poll: Santorum approval rating declines

HARRISBURG, Pa. - Sen. Rick Santorum (news, bio, voting record)’s approval rating has skidded to a four-year low, the latest sign of distress for the outspoken conservative and ally of President Bush, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The lead for Santorum’s Democratic opponent, state Treasurer Bob Casey, has stretched to 18 percentage points since early May.

Casey leads Santorum by 52 percent to 34 percent — the biggest margin since October, when the numbers were the same, according to the Quinnipiac University poll.

Only 38 percent of respondents said they approved of the way Santorum, the third-ranking Republican in the Senate, is handling his job. Forty-five percent said they disapproved and 16 percent did not express an opinion.

Looks like the r**** hero, Santorum, is going down instead of Murtha, don’t it? Couldn’t happen to a nastier guy cause there are no nastier guys! Please send all Republigraft to Diana Irey so maybe America can keep one token Repugnicant in office for old times sake.

It’s better they stay and complete the process of promoting a model for freedom in the heart of the Middle East. The alternative plans that we used in the 1990’s sucked. Of course you probably want a bunch of Americans to get killed in a surprise attack on Chicago or somewhere so you can blame Bush all over again.

Some 85 Iraqi workers abducted by gunmen

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Gunman abducted about 85 workers Wednesday as they left an industrial plant north of Baghdad, police and a witness said.

The workers were thought to be mostly Shiite and the plant is located in a predominantly Sunni Arab area.

The witness said that about 85 workers were taken near the parking lot of the al-Nasr General Complex in Taji, 12 miles north of Baghdad, while police Lt. Thaer Mahmoud said they filled up a bus and a minivan. Taji is predominantly Sunni Arab area that has seen much insurgent activity.

The Moonie Times is a flashback to the 19th century, when highly partisan newspapers lobbed provocative but utterly false charges against people and organizations they didn’t like. And then watched as the lies spread.

There was Al Gore’s canoe trip in Connecticut in 1999. The Moonie Times says it was environmentally damaging. It wasn’t.

Remember the 1988 story about Mike Dukakis and his mental health? A Moonie Times story. Intentionally false conjecture.

(Moonie Times) editors removed the phrase “but I doubt it,” highlighted the phrase “It’s possible” in a dramatically misleading opening to his story, and headlined the piece “Dukakis kin hints at sessions.”

(Another typical Moonie Times “stunt”. A headline that lies! Wheeee!)

A synopsis of the Moonie Times Gore lie is also in the above link.

For comedy relief, there’s “Lynxgate”:

“The Washington Times turned this incident into a crusade, dedicating 10 articles, two editorials and an opinion piece to this “biofraud” over the course of a month after breaking the story on December 17, 2001. Lynxgate illustrates the power of the Times—a newspaper founded in 1982 as a vehicle to promote the right-wing views of Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Unification Church—to promote a conservative agenda and feed it into the mainstream media environment.”

It’s the usual co-ordinated Moonie Times smear. Run a dirty, misleading story, watch as lazy wire services and TV stations pick it up. Soon, it’s debunked, but the Moonie Times damage has been done.

And never, ever admit you erred! THAT’S what sets the Moonie Times apart.

When the NY Times or CBS runs a misleading or inaccurate story, and gets nailed, they say they didn’t mean to be biased and they’re really really sorry. Insincere? Maybe. But at least they make the effort.

But the Moonie Times does neither, which makes it a truly abominable excuse for fishwrap.

Now, if you want me to shut up about what a piece of c-rap the Moonie Times is, stop challenging me to show you.

Car bombing kills 2 in Baghdad

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A parked car bombing struck a Shiite slum Wednesday in Baghdad, killing at least two people and wounding three, police said.

The explosion occurred near an ice cream shop in Sadr City, a sprawling district in eastern Baghdad, police Capt. Sattar Jabar. It was the second such blast in as many days in the neighborhood. A parked minivan packed with explosives also exploded at a busy outdoor market there on Tuesday, killing seven people and wounding 22.

Okay, one more swipe at the Moonie Times. Too good to pass up.

In the months after 9/11, Americans put aside partisan differences to unite against a common foe, terrorism.

But the Moonie Times had other plans.

Clinton calls terror a U.S. debt to past Joseph Curl, The Washington Times, 11/8/01

Conveniently, the story has disappeared from the rag’s website.

But the Free Republic reaction to this story lives on!

The story was an inflammatory hit piece, printed when 9/11 wounds were still raw:

“But did Clinton say that “America got what it deserved?” The statement is complete, utter nonsense. There is nothing resembling that view in his speech—though readers of the Washington Times couldn’t know that. The Washington Times had deceived its readers—and angry readers were taking the bait. The Times published letters from irate readers who didn’t know that the paper had lied.”

You see I am a citizen and as a citizen I feel like Murtha has turned his back on the military and by accusing them of being cold blooded killers before any charges were even filed, it is again my opinion that he has been a traitor to the troops and frankly to the principles this country was founded on.

The only thing Filthy Mouth Murtha has done has influenced the outcome of an investigation and possibly a future court martial. Because of his mouth those soldiers will probably walk and any prosecutor worth a lick will charge Murtha with obstructing an investigation.

Not to mention the fact that he is totally violating the constitutional right to a fair trial due to these soldiers if wrong doing is found. This doesn’t seem to bother sissy as-s bitc-h Daniel, maggot mouth, although if it were Gitmo detainees I’m sure he would feel quite differently, those are his fellow a-ssholes, after all.

John Murtha is simply irresponsible in his pretrial conviction of his fellow Devil Dogs.

When UBL recruits new terrorist by telling them that the US only wants to exploit the Middle-East’s oil and build permanent bases, then the “media” and “the left” say the very same thing, that is in fact aiding the enemy. That is treason and I know of no conservatives guilty of it.

During WWII we had a media that was censored and asked themselves a question prior to printing, that question was; Is this information I would like to have if I were the enemy? Today we have a “media” that thinks they can use control over their dissemination of information to run a country of political poll followers, while using hindsight to vilify political leaders.

Then we have Daniel who seems to think the terrorist are trying to figure out the right colors for their uniforms, because; he has said leaders should never send soldiers to fight an invisible enemy.

Scooter is a hard act to follow, but I’ll be gone all day tomorrow, so alas I must post after hours.

finch,

Your post which you say debunks the Washington Times says this:

*In fact, Clinton had noted—in a brief, fleeting comment—that terroristic behavior had been directed at blacks and native Americans in the American past. And he noted—again in passing—that the west had engaged in acts of terror against Islam during the Crusades…](http://www.dailyhowler.com/h111201_1.shtml)

But! Here’s what Clinton said:

Those of us who come from various European lineages are not blameless. Indeed, in the first Crusade, when the Christian soldiers took Jerusalem, they first burned a synagogue with 300 Jews in it, and proceeded to kill every woman and child who was Muslim on the Temple mound. The contemporaneous descriptions of the event describe soldiers walking on the Temple mound, a holy place to Christians, with blood running up to their knees. I can tell you that that story is still being told to today in the Middle East and we are still paying for it. Here in the United States, we were founded as a nation that practiced slavery and slaves were, quite frequently, killed even though they were innocent. This country once looked the other way when significant numbers of Native Americans were dispossessed and killed to get their land or their mineral rights or because they were thought of as less than fully human and we are still paying the price today. Even in the 20th century in America people were terrorized or killed because of their race. And even today, though we have continued to walk, sometimes to stumble, in the right direction, we still have the occasional hate crime rooted in race, religion, or sexual orientation. So terror has a long history.

Fleeting? In passing?

But! Hark! Here’s is something that Clinton and Bush agree with, but Finch and others think is just “neo-con propaganda” -

I further think we must do more about democracy. Ten years ago I said it ought to matter to us how people govern themselves because democracies by and large don’t go to war with each other, don’t sponsor terrorist acts against each other, and are more likely to be reliable partners, protect the environment, and abide by the law. Democracy is a stabilizing force. It provides a nonviolent means for resolving disputes. I believe that. And it’s no accident that most of these terrorists come from non-democratic countries.

So finch/seeker/et al, you are celebrating a victory that does not exist. Very rushncapesque.
