Critics of the Bush Administration will surely find a way to blame it for the current crisis, on the theory that this is what happens when you push for change in the Middle East. But the real problem is the growing perception among Arab regimes and terrorist frontmen that the U.S. is so bogged down in Iraq, and so suddenly deferential to the wishes of the “international community,” that it has lost its appetite for serious reform. This has created openings for the kind of terror assaults on American allies we are now witnessing.-OpinionJournal

A perception born and raised by a bunch of leftwing partisan political hacks, or Neolibs for short, which could actually wind up forcing the issues of freedom and democracy in the Middle East.

We appreciate the help.

That’s the meaning of Iran’s de facto declaration of war against Israel—which is, ultimately, a new war Iran is waging against the US. Iran is so desperate for war with the West that it is bringing the war to us, openly and willfully initiating a regional conflict that may soon involve three of Iran’s proxies—Hamas, Hezbollah, and Syria—fighting against America’s proxy, Israel.-RealClearPolitics

Most Americans plan to vote for Democrats

WASHINGTON - Republicans are in jeopardy of losing their grip on Congress in November. With less than four months to the midterm elections, the latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll found that Americans by an almost 3-to-1 margin hold the GOP-controlled Congress in low regard and profess a desire to see Democrats wrest control after a dozen years of Republican rule.

Further complicating the GOP outlook to turn things around is a solid percentage of liberals, moderates and even conservatives who say they’ll vote Democratic. The party out of power also holds the edge among persuadable voters, a prospect that doesn’t bode well for the Republicans.

Politics have been dumbed down in this country to such a degree that the rest of the world will soon ignore us and the description from the protest era of America as “a pitiful, helpless giant” will manifest itself. Maybe it’s time for us moderates and liberals to put the Constitution on hold like the neocons insist on doing. Instead of torturing detainees, putting all the chickenhawks and neoconservatives up against the wall and shooting them may be the only way to save our country. They think war is so wonderful.

Few if any would travel to China in the midst of a shooting war in Asia.

Yes many people disagree with his decisions, but cmon folks. For decades we have been trying to solve the problem in the Middle East, but there are no easy solutions. This is a complicated issue.

These backward societies have been on fire since the early 50’s and before. Perhaps a more germaine question to ask is “Have any of these societies ever demonstrated worthiness of the herculean efforts at salvation we are now attempting to force upon them?”

Dissent, Bush’s economic policies have worked. The facts support him, plain and simple. His initial response to 9/11 and combat plan in Aghanistan were good. Like I said earlier the decision to go to Iraq and the plans there have been bad, but initial he was on the right track. His use of the EU and UN with both N Korea and Iran are the right idea. You can say what you want about waiting six years or whatever, but it is the right idea. He is not far off on immigration. Border security should be the priority, but to deport the 11 or 12 million already here like some on the right want to do is impratical. I think he needs to add some type of punishment for the corporations, but he is on the right track. Just trying to be objective dude. You might think I am wrong, but that is what I think.

While the current call for reinstatement of the draft appears to be mostly a transparent attempt to tar the Reps, I must say that I whole heartedly support the notion!

Even though this would in all likelihood denigrate the quality of the volunteer Armed services, it would concurrently elevate the quality of the citizenry through teaching civic virtue, self pride, job skills, and team work.

Let’s just make sure that this time there are absolutely no exemptions for any reason whatsoever. Even a quadraplegic can work with an adaptive computer station these days.

Maybe the Dems will continue to adopt support for this political third rail when they return to power. Both parties routinely demonstrate a willingness to participate in political suicide, afterall, so we can only hope.

Anti, reinstating the draft would be horribly for the military. It would be a repeat of the Vietnam War era when the Army almost destroyed itself. Right now we have an all volunteer Army that is the best in the world, not only in technology, but in people as well. The same problems would arise as before. As a member of the military with two Iraq tours under my belt, I can say that we don’t need or want draftees.

Dan- I understand your concerns but don’t you think the military can sustain the hit in order to greatly improve the quality of the next generation of American citizens.

As you said, the military doesn’t need the potential draftees, but the potential draftees do need the lessons of character building learned from military service.

As the quality of the entire citizenry improved, so would the quality of draftees that would be inducted from that population. Unless, of course, you feel that military service does not improve an individual, in which case we would have to agree to disagree.

Moderate Voice,

You say you’re not a Bush supporter so I’ll take you at your word, but I do think you’re seeing things through rose colored glasses. Do you include the fact that the war in Iraq is bankrupting us to be part of Bush’s successful economic policies? Or how about the widening gap between the rich and the poor?

I’ll make the argument that no president could have lost support after 9/11 and every president would have done the same thing in Afghanistan. He snatched defeat out of the jaws of victory (wink- Granny) when he lost the support of the world and sight of OBL when we attacked Iraq.

The only reason we’re going through the EU and UN on Iran and North Korea is because we have no choice since we’ve alienated all our allies and spread ourselves too thin to handle anything else.

Border security is going nowhere because the House refuses to look for a practical solution so that’s a moot point.

So what you see as successes I see as matters of circumstance at best and failures at worst.

I found this funny. The media reports that GW is nothing like Harry Truman:

Truman fused realism with liberalism. A tough foreign policy was seen as consistent with strengthening the fabric of international community and a world of mutually agreed upon rules, institutions, and progressive goals.

However, in Truman’s memoirs he wrote this regarding the Palestinian issue.

“I spend the day trying to right what has happened. No luck. Doesn’t help a bit.” On the following day Truman wrote to his brother Vivian Truman regarding Palestine, “I think the proper thing to do, and the thing I have been doing, is to do what I think is right and let them all go to hell.”

He realized that nobody over there really wanted anything fair or equitable. No peace for the Middle East. He didn’t like Israel either.

getalife, I think things are improving in Iraq at a very slow pace. The problem I see is that the Sunni and Shi’a are more concerned about being Sunni and Shi’a as oppossed to being Iraqi. I do think the PM is a good leader and will make great improvements in Iraq. The military made some major mistakes early on, but is learning to win a counterinsurgency. Another problem, is that the American people don’t have the political will power to withstand long years of American casualties. I am not making a moral or value judgement by saying that, just my view. Also a basic tenet of insurgency is to break the political will of the occupier and that is what is happening. I don’t think most politicians realized that is the ultimate goal of the insurgency. But like I said overall I think things are improving, just not as fast as any of us would like.

Andy @ 11:31,

Your quote: “These Islamic fascists have been scheming on us since Jimmy Carter was president, this has nothing to do with Bush.” (comma splice by the way, dumbass)

If you knew your history you’d know that it was going on long before that because we were scheming in Iran. During the Cold War, all the way back to the 50’s, we wanted friendly territory near the USSR to keep an eye on them, so we helped to install the Shaw. We scratched each others’ backs- we giving him military support, money, etc. and he giving us a springboard for CIA operations. The problem was that he ruled Iran much like Saddam ruled Iraq- murders, torture, etc.

Here’s the kicker: Iran was not a pious religious country at the time. If you watch footage of Iranians then, they look like they walked straight out of “Welcome Back Kotter.” The reason they became religious fundamentalists is because the only place resistance to the Shaw could foment was in the mosques. University students would gather at the mosques to discuss “saving” their country from the Shaw and the USA and religious fanaticism was born, along with the first Islamic revolution. You cannot say we are blameless. Learn your history.

I don’t believe that Iraq is a civil war. Everything I have read is that Casey is pulling troops from other parts of the country to put in Baghdad, not that he wants more troops deployed to Iraq. At the outset of the war, there were some issues with the equipment. I just returned in Jan. While I was there you couldn’t leave the FOB without an uparmored HUMVEE. There were no soft skin vehicles allowed. Also everyone had the new vests with the ballistic inserts. So I personally don’t believe there is an equipment problem right now.

Of course I love watching the Israel surgical strikes prior to the obviously intended full assualt to come in Lebannon.

Lets see - they have hit airports, key roads, and key communication centers (telephone and broadcast stations). Now why would they do that — Unless there was a much bigger assault to come?

Looks like they are cutting off all avenues of both escape from Lebannon, and the ability to bring in re-inforcements to the Hezbollah. I’d say after a few more hits softening up the lace we should see ground troops crossing in the next few weeks.

From the N.Y. Observer: “My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building.”

On Fox News’ Your World, Coulter declared that former President Bill Clinton “molested the help.” She has also referred to Clinton as a “very good rapist.”

In a syndicated column she wrote: “And mind you, this was before we knew Gore was clinically insane. Back then we thought he was just a double-talking stuffed shirt who seemed kind of gay.”

In various interviews, Coulter asks “whether America might be better off if women lost the right to vote.”

After the September 11 attack masterminded by a terrorist hoping to spark a religious war, virtually every official and pundit knew better than to take the bait. Except for conservative commentator Ann Coulter, who wrote in a syndicated column on September 12 that in responding to terrorists “we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” (CTF Note: Once again Ann’s lack of historical knowledge makes her look like a fool. “Hey Ann ever heard of the Crusades? Been there…done that…bad ending…”)

God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, ‘Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It’s yours.’”—-Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01

Friends, you might be concerned that you are afflicted with Bush Support. We here at the Bush Support Rehabilitation Clinic have assembled twenty indicators of this degenerative mental illness. If you find yourself agreeing with a majority of these indicators, please seek help as soon as possible. And remember, if you don’t get help with us, please, get help somewhere.

You believe that leaking the CIA status of Valerie Plame, a “NOC” working on nuclear proliferation issues, was a heroic act, while you believe that the publishing of Bush’s SWIFT monitoring activities by the New York Times was treason, eventhough it was a matter of public record.

You believe that you will stop loving your husband or wife and get a divorce if the two gay dudes down the street are allowed to get married.

You have no problem with voting machines being made by private corporations owned and operated by Bush supporters who claim that their programming code may not be inspected by anyone, make it impossible to perform recounts, operate elections in such a way that they can be manipulated while leaving no evidence whatsoever, and that we should all just “trust them.”

You believe that the Jack Abramoff scandal is a bipartisan controversy.

You believe that Mexicans are to blame for stealing your jobs when corporations export hundreds of thousands of manufacturing, textile, and service jobs to Mexico, South America, China, Taiwan, and India.

You believe that “everyone” thought Saddam had WMD prior to the Iraq War.

You believe that one day we will find the last terrorist on earth and kill them.

You believe that in a time of war, the President may search and seize without a warrant, may deprive persons of life and liberty without due process of law, may detain persons indefinitely without trial or counsel, and keep all these actions away from the review of Congress and the Judiciary.

You earn the minimum wage and applaud Republicans for rejecting proposals to raise it.

You blame high gas prices on environmentalists.

You think President Bush should invade Iran, a country nearly four times the size and population of Iraq.

You think NAFTA was good for America eventhough you haven’t really noticed cheaper prices for cars or other products made in Mexico.

“Individuals like Tongsun Park, who actively represented the interests of the former regime in international matters and were willing to take money for those efforts from that regime, strengthened that regime and led to the continued repression of the people of Iraq. The Republic of Iraq is grateful for the hard work and dedication of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York and the FBI for pursuing this case and continuing to investigate criminal wrongdoing related to the Oil-for-Food Program.”-NationalReview

Hmm lets read the definition of Fascist;

*fas·cism [ fá shìzzəm ] or Fas·cism [ fá shìzzəm ]

noun

Definition:

dictatorial movement: any movement, ideology, or attitude that favors dictatorial government, centralized control of private enterprise, repression of all opposition, and extreme nationalism

fas·cist [ fáshist ]nadj fas·cis·tic [ fə shístik ]adj *

Ok Lets pick that apart:

dictatorial movement:

*any movement, ideology, or attitude that favors; * (I think the Republican Party qualifies as a movement and an ideology now.)

dictatorial government, (control of the Presidency, the House, and the Senate, and now the Judiciary even)

centralized control of private enterprise, (corporate monopolies with government tax exceptions and no-bid contracts? How about policy being made by big buisness such as that infamous private meeting for the energy department)

repression of all opposition, (Swift boat, Think Tank propaganda smear operations, Call center disruptions during elections, Vets being called traitors or worse because they oppose current policy)

and extreme nationalism (Well there you have it you neo-con Patriots! Welcome to the New AmeriKampf’)

That’s why my dad flew 50 combat missions. That’s why my brothers and my brother-in-law all served. We are a military family who are repulsed by this administration. Like you, this administration hates soldiers (and veterans).

The draft is a good thing. The Israeli’s have a decent army that is manned (woman’ed?) by 2 years compulsory service. This administration sends troops into combat in the middle east more than 2 tours because they are afraid that the political impact of the draft is too damaging. Keep on supporting GWB…if someone you know dies in Iraq on their second or third tour of duty, you only have you and those who vote as you do to blame.

Most mothers/wives/husbands of the soldiers who died in the Viet Nam “war” still wonder why. I wonder why so many I called friend died there. I wonder what they would have accomplished…or their children. And I don’t blame dems or reps, libs or cons.

I’ve got a job tip for you, I understand there will be an opening for someone that believes like you on a small island about 60 miles from Key West soon. If you move down there and grow a pair maybe you’ll be able to do all the social engineering you want.

Do you realize your obsession makes you sound like someone that is sitting around a doll house neighborhood setting up make believe communes?

Another Harris Campaign Staffer Quits

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris (news, bio, voting record)’ third Senate campaign manager has resigned, citing the candidate’s “tantrums” and “increasingly erratic behavior.”

“It became unmanageable, unhealthy, uncontrollable,” said Glenn Hodas, who became campaign manager in April, when his predecessor left after only a few months in the role.

Four other key staffers are also leaving the campaign, Hodas said.

Harris issued a statement saying: “I wish each of them the very best in their future endeavors.”

The Republican congresswoman has been a polarizing figure on the national political scene since 2000, when as Florida’s secretary of state she certified George W. Bush’s 537-vote win in the state’s disputed presidential election.

She was elected to the U.S. House in 2002 and has pledged to spend $10 million of her own money on Senate race. She is facing three mostly unknown opponents in the GOP primary and remains a heavy favorite to win the nomination. In the general election, she has trailed Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (news, bio, voting record) by more than 30 points in some polls.

Harris said her campaign to unseat Nelson was “aggressively moving forward.” But she has clearly been facing some high hurdles — politically and personally.

Next week, she has surgery scheduled to remove an ovarian mass. In her campaign, fundraising has been slow, GOP leaders have pressured her to drop out, and she has been criticized for her connections to a corrupt defense contractor who illegally gave $32,000 to her campaign.

Hodas said he knew about Harris’ reputation for being a tough boss before joining the campaign in the spring.

“I read the reports and I said ‘There’s no way all this stuff could be true.’ But as time wore on, not only was it true but it was worse than reported,” he said. He described “tantrums, micromanaging, an increasingly erratic behavior and counterproductive, damaging statements and activities.”

A new campaign manager will be named shortly, the campaign said. Harris’ first campaign manager, Jim Dornan,

Dang, I had a screen open so…..

The city council of Hazleton, a former coal-mining town of some 31,000 people, late on Thursday passed a measure that will deny a business permit to anyone hiring illegal immigrants.

A coalition including the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania and the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, which represents U.S. Latinos on immigration issues, say they will sue Hazleton in federal court.

I thought the liberals wanted businesses punished for hiring illegals? No wonder you liberals stay so confused. Your champion, the ACLU is working in direct conflict with your desires. But then their advocates aren’t too bright so it’s easy.

Well, well, look at the new cartoon:

Homeland security

Don’t get confused about the title, remember we’ve had trouble with those and had to change them before (Pot To Kettle), no, despite what you think, this is not about “Homeland security” or even terrorist target lists.

This is about how scatter brained and two faced liberals are, totally clueless as to their own positions on an issue from one day to the next. Playing both sides of the field, never committing themselves to anything and staying with it.

Correct me if I’m wrong but wasn’t it just a few short days ago that the pinkos declared that Al Qaeda already knew about the “Swift” surveillance program and therefore the Treason Times disclosing it was no big deal?

So now we are led to believe that the terrorists had no idea that lots of Americans eat at Stuckey’s, occasionally a bunch of them at the same time?

Or is this a disappointment cartoon, disappointment that HLS would have the audacity to warn people that they had good reason to suspect might be targets of some Islamic loonies?

Would cartoon boy prefer that their Creator warned them as they were being blown up to the Pearly Gates?

It would have been much better, much better to have the Stuckey’s consumed in vast cleansing fire, allah willing, wouldn’t it have Mikey?

I’m pretty sure this is the first time Thomas Freidman, Treason Times, has ever been right about anything:

The world needs to understand what is going on here: The little flowers of democracy that were planted in Lebanon, Iraq and the Palestinian territories are being crushed by the boots of Syrian-backed Islamist militias who are desperate to keep real democracy from taking hold in this region and Iranian-backed Islamist militias desperate to keep modernism from taking hold.

You could throw American liberals in there with Syria and Iran, not because they hate democracy so much, it’s because they hate George W Bush and they don’t really care what gets ruined in their campaign against him.

They are frigged in the damn head.

The London-based Arabic language newspaper Al-Hayat reported Saturday that “Washington has information according to which Israel gave Damascus 72 hours to stop Hizbullah’s activity along the Lebanon-Israel border and bring about the release the two kidnapped IDF soldiers or it would launch an offensive with disastrous consequences.”-Ynet

Here’s hoping that Syria rejects that offer.

Israel has not only survived, but has become stronger. It is a vibrant and prospering democracy, with robust economic growth over the last five years, the highest number of books published per capita in the world, and second place in the world in the publication of articles in scientific journals.

Classic Steyn:

The forces at play in the Middle East are beyond the Geopolitical Friars’ Club. The median age in Gaza is 15.8 years old. How likely is it that any of those bespoke Palestinian “moderates” who’ve been permanent fixtures on CNN and BBC Middle East discussion panels for 30 years have any meaningful sway over a population of unemployed uneducated teenage boys raised by a death cult? Israel withdrew from Gaza and, instead of getting on with a prototypical Palestinian state, Hamas turned the territory into an Islamist camp. Israel withdrew from Lebanon entirely in 2000, yet Hezbollah is now lobbing rockets at Haifa.-ChicagoSunTimes

Look at the “Reader’s Quotes,” first item on page C7 of the Pinko Times and then compare it to this:

Every time I write about this, though, I get angry letters and e-mails from readers who point out the savagery of al-Qaida’s death squads and wonder why I don’t condemn them. That always strikes me as a strange comparison — a kind of moral equivalence I don’t get. Of course, al-Qaida is beyond contempt: brutal, blood-thirsty, utterly contemptible. I don’t expect its members to observe any rules of civilized behavior. But I do expect that of the men and women who represent the United States.-QueenPinkoAtlantaUrinal

Not.

If I were an Islamic loony and read back through every single one of this Pinko’s columns since 9/11, every column bar none, I would deduce from them that she wants me to attack the United States and at the very least, if I did, that I should be given a 5 star hotel room with a wait staff if I am captured.

Good morning RW (The Real Wanker), Andy (The Bed Wetter), Buy Danish, @@ and all other wing-nuts. I read with amusement your after-hours posts. Only you wing-nuts are so well-paid by the neo-cons that you go to such extremes.

I look at each name you post under and it becomes clear that you are one and the same. Whether that means one individual or several, you are all sociopaths. But more importantly, you are all liars and hypocrites.

You say that you want to think on my last post. Don’t bother. I’ll give it to you in simple words. YOU HATE AMERICAN TROOPS!!!

You lie when you say you support them. If you did, you would want to re-institute the draft. You would want there to be sufficient troops to finish the job. The current commander on the ground in Iraq was quoted this week as saying we are closer to the beginning than the end in Iraq. He refused to say we are winning…all he would say was he didn’t think we were losing. In the meantime, we send troops back to the middle east for more combat duty. 2,3,4 combat tours. Some are professional soldiers. Many are reservists who have (had) other jobs.

With a draft, we could send more troops, as required. We could reduce the number of combat tours. We could let some reservists get on with their lives. We could let those professional soldiers who want to retire do so, instead of extending their enlistments involuntarily.

But you sycophants don’t support our troops. You support a dying administration along with its failed policies. And you continue to do so. So you are complicit in each and every death, both American (coalition) and Iraqi.

You don’t love America. You love power. You love money. You love dominion over others. You love to hate.

And there it is, plain and simple. Even you fools can understand. But its all wasted on you. Because you understood it already. You don’t need me to explain it to you. You know what you are….and so do we.

Northeast Asia has prospered as much as any place in the world since the end of the Korean War, thanks to the peace and security provided by the U.S. military. We’d prefer to see that status quo continue, but North Korea’s provocations have introduced a threatening new instability. Tokyo has wisely understood the benefits of staying under the American nuclear umbrella, but once domestic political and nationalist impulses start to stir, they can be hard to contain.

China and South Korea may think they can prop up Kim at little cost, save for America’s discomfort. But the combination of China’s strategic cynicism toward a client dictatorship and South Korea’s naive appeasement is making that neighborhood a much more dangerous place. If North Korea continues to defy the world and the world continues to do nothing, a more militarily assertive, and probably nuclear-armed, Japan is inevitable.-OpinionJournal

Another iron rule that applies to this and every Israeli attempt to strike back at Islamist terrorists is that, just when the Israeli Defense Forces really start to hurt the enemy, the world community - including the United States - intervenes to save the terrorists from destruction.

Europeans have more sympathy with Iran’s nuclear program than they do with Israel’s attempts at self-defense. But, then, the only thing continental Europeans regret about the Holocaust is that they didn’t get to finish the job. Even as Europe suffers its own attacks by Islamist terrorists, Europeans defend the selfsame terrorists against Israeli retribution.-NewYorkPost
