Democrats are going toe to toe with Republicans on national security in the final months before November’s elections, {{{calling for the ouster of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld}}} and claiming that America is less safe today than before the September 11 terrorist attacks.-WashingtonTimes

Yea, less safe! Look at how many times we’ve been attacked since 9/11/01, by my count it’s, ummm, well, uhhh, Impeach Rumsfeld!

Cut

But, as Mr. Bush noted yesterday, we have a long way to go in order to attain victory in one of the most critical theaters in the war: Iraq: “If we retreat from Iraq … history will look back on our time with unforgiving clarity and demand to know why we did not act … {{{I am not going to allow this to happen.” The president’s determination to win in Iraq has become the defining issue in American politics today.}}}-WashingtonTimes

The Man has spoken.

What more do you need to know?

Cut

All those critics who say we should change our foreign policies because we are causing the Islamists to attack us are — whether they use the term or not — arguing to appease aggressors by changing our selves in conformity with the aggressor’s desires. The politically correct crowd who say we should change the way we talk and think and behave, change our surveillance of Muslims, even here in America, because it offends Islamist sensibilities — wish to gain safety by appeasing the violent and offended Islamists.-WashingtonTimes

That would make the democrats the party of cut and run appeasers.

WASHINGTON - A trio of oil companies led by Chevron Corp. has tapped a petroleum pool deep beneath the Gulf of Mexico that could boost the nation’s reserves by more than 50 percent.

A test well indicates it could be the biggest new domestic oil discovery since Alaska’s Prudhoe Bay a generation ago.

Now hasn’t King George and has merry band of Republishills been telling us since before the 2000 election that we just had to drill the ANWR wildlife sanctuary and the beach resorts off Florida and the Atlantic coast because that weren’t any reserves left to drill OFF shore ? ? ? Now that Chevron has come up with the largest find since Prudhoe Bay, we can see that all the Republirants were just another pack of Republican LIES ! ! ! Oil companies just want to drill as cheap as they can and they don’t give a damn if they leave America’s beachs and wildlife areas a seething cauldron of smudgepots. They’re businesses and you can’t blame ‘em for wanting to improve their profit margin. Unfortunately BIG OIL has bought the shameless BIG GOVERNMENT (Republican) party and when they want to make another couple of cents profit, they just pull the strings on their Republipuppets to ram their profit-puffers up our keisters.

My rule of thumb is that every time you see a Republican open it’s mouth, be prepared to hear another pack of lies. If you get that close, be damn sure you hold onto your wallet with both hands though or the RepUblican slicksters will PATRIOTIZE all your cash to fund more of their BIG, BIG, BIG, BIG, GOVERNMENT ! ! !

“Take a look at the blogs today, they’re pretty hot. And the real question for the American people to ask themselves is, do you take the war on terror seriously? With all the developments around the world — and, if so, how do you fight it to win? There seems to be two approaches, and in the Connecticut race, one of the approaches is ignore the difficulties and walk away.

Now, when the United States walked away, in the opinion of the Osama bin Laden in 1991, bin Laden drew from that the conclusion that Americans were weak and wouldn’t stay the course and that led to September 11th.”- Tony Snow 8/9/06

Well there you have it straight from the mouth of King George’s mouthpiece, the snowman himself. The real reason for 9/11 was that when the incompetent Chimperor’s incompetent pappy didn’t finish the job in Gulf War I, he emboldened bin Laden into thinking “that Americans were weak and wouldn’t stay the course and that led to September 11th.”

The Republishills have been telling us what a vunderkind rhetorical genius the snowman is since he took over McClellan’s job so we’ll just have to take them at their word; GEORGE HERBERT BUSH (‘89-‘93) WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR 9/11 ! ! !

So how does this work? Who would be the bigots in this cartoon; the Americans of African ancestry (AAA) who do not want a traditional southern frat in their neighborhood, the traditional southern frat wanting to move into the neighborhood of predominantly AAA, or is it ML? Is ML suggesting that AAA are for housing discrimination? Or is he suggesting that reverse discrimination is OK? Being an American of Unknown/Sorted/Questionable Ancestry, (or better known as an AMERICAN) I find this cartoon insulting. However, being protected from insult is not a right, being insulting is a right (good job ML). Discriminatory PC is BS; as is this cartoon. Can’t we all just get along?

Andy Bush is a complete and total FAILURE. He has not finished anything that he has set out to do.

We have nearly 3000 dead troops, thousands more wounded, and 41,000+ dead Iraqis.

What is it all for? Have we accomplished anything there at all? Has the United States become safer in anyway shape or form? Have the video tapes from Al Queada stopped? The answer is no. The war in Iraq and the war on terror have not curved anything. You could almost say that attacks have been up since 9/11. But, hey, we haven’t been attacked, right?

Bush says this is a war of ideas. What have I been saying about ideas, that you can’t fight ideas with bullets and bombs? You are never going to kill an idea unless you change how people think. Killing their people and bombing their cities is only going to make their resolve stronger, and I think that this is what we have been seeing.

Bush has made this country less safe for all Americans and the rest of the western world. He should be ashamed of himself for causing this. If he wanted to do things right he would have finished the job in Afghanistan long ago, instead we had to take troops out and go fight a false war.

Go fight in Bush’s war, or send your children there if you believe in it so much. Would you even send your children there? You believe so strongly in it, you or they would be dying for a good cause right?

You don’t even look at my full post; you find one sentence or one word to nit-pick on. You can’t fool me. You’re just as lost as Bush is and have no proper explanation for his failure and complete lack of leadership. Bush and your kind have done nothing for us. You have caused problems that will live with the United States and its citizens for decades to come. You need to accept the fact that Bush has not done what he promised you when you voted for him.

I saw other people’s children jump from the World Trade Center, you weakling, if you want to get to the real issues. You would gladly accept a 9/11 every few years so that our soldiers won’t die in fewer numbers, fighting evil in it’s purest form.

You would gladly accept the entire Middle East being enslaved to Islamic Facsim, it’s no hair off your spineless back.

You would gladly accept all of the Jews in Israel being slaughtered so that your conscious isn’t disturbed and you can feel good.

Andy = HYPOCRITE!!

It has everything to do with it. If you sent your children there then you supported the war in Iraq 100% because it was a noble cause worth dying for. If you have any reservations about you going or you sending your children there then you do not support the war in Iraq 100%. You find fault in it some where because you are not willing to die for it. Put your money where your mouth is.

Andy, btw, all that you said didn’t have to be that way if Bush had not gone to war with Iraq and instead killed Bin Laden and secured Afghanistan.

My family (immediate) had a friend die in the World Trade center attacks, so don’t play that game with me.

wOOt,

Whether you like it or not our military is comprised completely of ADULT volunteers. Nobody sends their children into the fight except our enemies.

When you say we are less safe because of what you derisively call “Bush’s war” what is your basis? Did the people get blown up in our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania because Bush was in Iraq? How about the USS Cole? Yesterday was the anniversary of the Israeli athletes being slaughtered in 1972, were the Muslim fanatics that did that psychic? For that matter, it seems like 9/11 was well before Iraq.

Bob Kerrey said point blank during the Clinton Coverup Commission hearings that we should have preemptively attacked Afghanistan in the summer of 2001. Maybe he’s right, maybe he’s wrong, but an Iraq in the 2000’s run by Saddam Hussein and out from under UN sanctions would have been far more dangerous than Afghanistan.

Interesting story out of Pakistan yesterday. They worked out a deal with the Taliban to stop the attacks in Pakistan and they will let OBL stay as long as he lives in peace.

If true, this means OBL will never be caught “dead or alive” and there will not be any more 9/11 attacks on our country.

When it comes to a war, a nation has only two choices… go all the way or just go away. There is no middle ground.

Unless, that is, you’re George Bush, who along with Darth Cheney and Rummy, is running around screaming “terrah!! terrah!!” and “the sky is falling!” while ignoring the real cancer terrors. All of them were born without spines.

If Iraq (population 26.7 million) is so important to the war in terror, how come U.S. troop strength is only about one-third more than the number of fans that attend an average University of Michigan or Penn State home football game? Got things under control, have we?

And how come no draft? The draft was used in both World War I and World War II, but somehow it’s not needed in World War III, because out troops signed up, so it is morally right that they be send back time after time no matter at what terrible personal cost because we support the troops and — did we mention? — they signed up for it. This is the cowards’ rationale for sending heroes to their fate.

The answer to these questions ought to be obvious to the smallest readers of “My Pet Goat.” Fear is easier to sell to voters than sacrifice, especially when most of what you have done has proved incompetent. The spin is the thing, not the reality.

George Bush could have gone down in history as the leader who put Osama and his fellow Islamic terrorists in their place. But nooooo. He had to start a war where these maniacs weren’t a problem, and by doing it, made them more of a problem than ever were before.

He has become their greatest enabler and their greatest recruiting tool.

Republishil September 6, 2006 09:14 AM- Plus I got you to agree that Bill Clinton pulling out of Somalia was an absolute failure and led to 9/11.

Of course, I did not say that Somalia was the cause of 9/11 but the snowman DID say that bin Laden was emboldened by Bush I’s cutting and running from Gulf War I in 1991 and that led to 9/11 (Somalia was in ‘93 of course).

This is just another example of how Republishills misrepresent, lie, or are just plain clueless as to when world events happen or the reasons behind their happening.

Nobody knows why bin Laden gave the green light on 9/11. I can just as easily say that the election of King George enflamed the Islamofascists into carrying out a planned attack that was not actually implemented until the Chimperor took his throne but truthfully nobody knows why nutcases do what they do.

The difference in the Republishill and I is the same as the difference between the Republicans and the rest of the country. I will tell you truthfully that nobody knows the cause of 9/11 but the Republishills and the snowman will try to pass off accusations that are based on pure speculation as fact in order to smear their favorite strawman, Bill Clinton.

You know what I’m saying. Would you ask your children (of age and capable of going to war) to go, convince them to, tell them that it is for a good cause your, to Iraq?

Like, “Hey Jr., I think it would be a good opportunity for you to go and fight in Iraq. It’s for a good cause, why don’t you go sign up!”

Yes, they would have the choice of going or not going. However, would you actively suggest that they go fight in Iraq, or join the military at all at this point? If you had reservations about making suggestions like that to your children, then you do not fully support the war in Iraq because you find fault with it in some sort of way.

As for “Bush’s war”, I’m saying that we are less safe because of the actions taken in Iraq. There is more outrage over the United States and our government due to our foreign policy and our continued meddling in their countries and affairs.

Yes, we need to get rid of the terrorist, but I do not think that this is the right way to go about it.

Dusty, your kind is no better with the name calling. So don’t act all “Holier than thou”.

It’s not entirely Clinton’s fault. It’s the fault of many president’s, countries, businesses, and people.

We’re meddled in their politics, governments, lands, resources. We’ve told them what they can and cannot do. We’ve killed their people. We’ve stationed troops on their lands, and holy lands for several years. We pilfer their resources. Many of the people in their countries are poor due to sanctions. We install brutal leaders there because they support what America and western governments want. The United States and western governments sell them biological and chemical weapons to be used on enemy troops and sometimes their own people. No, they just became “crazy” all by themselves. Are we doing anything about it? No, we’re just continuing the cycle, further breading more Muslims to hate what America and its allies. Too bad, this is never going to stop now, because we’re in too deep. I guess we can just try to forget that history ever happened to further justify a false war.

How would you expect anyone in the United States to act if this had been carried out over the last sixty years? You cannot tell me that you would stand for this, that you would not become a “terrorist” yourself. It’s all about empathy to some degree. Think what you would do if you were in their shoes. Think about what they and their families have been through. Imagine you’re mother being killed in her bed by a “smart” bomb that went astray. What would you do?

A typical example of a foiled “plot” devised by idiots who were inspired by al Qaeda, but not under it’s control. A scheme that ignored basic principles of engineering and physics.

The plotters weren’t planning to blow up the bridge. They were going to climb up to the 2 foot thick cables and cut them with blowtorches. Mr. Wizards they weren’t.

“If he had all the time in the world, sure,” said Matthys Levy, a structural engineer at Weidlinger Associates in New York and an author of “Why Buildings Fall Down: How Structures Fail.”

“If nobody is watching him, he can cut the cable in half in a day or so.”

It was like that Miami “cell” broken up with such fanfare. A bunch of idiots with wild schemes, no money, no tools, no real plan.

The Bush morans trumpet these “successes” like milestones. They weren’t.

Because even as you read this, the genuine Osama followers are busy, guided by their master and prophet, the American killer that Bush doesn’t think about all that much.

We don’t deserve to lose the war on terror. But with Bush’s “leadership”, such an evil thing is possible.

Why is the US in Iraq?

Actually, yes Danish, I do. That’s the difference between us: I wonder about things. You listen to neocon TV shows. The reason Iran became as anti-American as it is, is because we supported the Shah, who turned out to be a brutal, horrible dictator. He became completely associated with America, and when he was popularly ousted, America became as reviled as him.

Rumsfeld held back support for the original CIA led attack on Osama in Afghanistan. He wanted control and literally took his football home until he could be the boss of the invasion of afghanistan. this gave Osama ten extra weeks of time. Rumsfeld is a traitor, and a child.

Bush couldn’t handle his generals. And for that he needs to resign.

Just like in the MoveOn fairy tales right?

Once opon a time, a president was SElected in America and Osama Bin Laden, peaceful goat herder, flipped out. He ran screaming to Afghanistan were he trained his formerly peaceful suicide volunteers in less than 3 months, how to fly, scope out the target and train for their exalted, “heavenly” mission. They missed the White House and the chimperer and couldn’t live happily ever after because he kicked off in their a-ss and made them into cave dwellers.

Dusty, I’m not trying to promote anyone or anything. I’m just stating what has happened. I know it’s hard to take in, but you have to understand that in some cases we are directly and indirectly responsible for what has been going on.

“Economic sanctions were kept in place following the war, pending a weapons inspection regime with which Iraq never fully cooperated. Iraq was later allowed to import certain products under the UN’s Oil for Food program. A 1998 UNICEF report found that the sanctions resulted in an increase to 90,000 deaths per year. Many argue that the sanctions on Iraq and the American military presence in Saudi Arabia contributed to an increasingly negative image of the United States in the Arab world.”

“A crucial result of the Gulf War, according to Gilles Kepel, was the sharp revival in Islamic extremism. The change of face by Saddam’s secular regime did little to draw support from Islamist groups. However, it, combined with the Saudi Arabian alliance with the United States and Saudi Arabia being seen as being on the same side of Israel dramatically eroded that regime’s legitimacy. Activity of Islamist groups against the Saudi regime increased dramatically. The presence of American troops in Saudi Arabia, the invasion of Iraq, and the subsequent blockade were some of the grievances listed by Osama bin Laden in his 1998 Fatwa.”

Those are just some of the examples I’m talking about. Though they’re not all limited to Wars. Some were done through the removal of certain governments and the support of others, etc.

What we may have thought was good for the security of the nation or the world, inevitably came back to bite us.

People died in Iraq because Saddam didn’t care to feed them.

Buy Danish you can try to be cute and satorical all you want. The truth is that had we captured Bin Laden and not invaded Iraq as we did, we would be much further along on winning against terrorism.

As it is we have become more similar to the terrorists in our random killing of Muslim civilians. I’m not saying we should have captured Osama, then stopped. But that was our next big achievement in the war on terrorism; not the misadvised invasion of Iraq. These are things many Democrats saw, but the Republicans followed too blindly and did not look at the big picture. So, we have a big boggy mess that could have been avoided with merely adequate leadership.

I must comment on the earlier statement by “InTheKnow.” Just a week or two before the whole Kappa Alpha debacle we bought our first home in the Hancock Corridor less than 1/4 from where is Fraternity is threatening to build a house. We fell in love with the friendly, quiet atmosphere and charming historic bungalows in this area.

The Hancock Corridor is by no means the “Hell Hole” as dubbed by this person. Our neighbors are, and have consistently been hardworking members of the Athens infrastructure and service industry… that’s right, someone has to clean up after all those frat boys. A drive around the area in question will show well kempt yards and congenial neighbors… not people who “treat their neighborhood like garbage.”

It’s pretty clear that this guy’s insulting statement has overlooked a lot of the true concerns of the community.

Firstly, Cobb Hill apartments, where Kappa Alpha reportedly plans on tearing down two well maintained, occupied apartment buildings is some of the last affordable, non-student oriented housing near the downtown area. In a city with limited public transportation (most buses stop by 7pm)this is a valuable resource.

Secondly, the residents of the Hancock Corridor are predominantly people who have lived in athens for many years. Many of our residents are the second and third generation in the same home. It makes a whole lot of sense that there would be turmoil about a giant house full of temporary residents with a reputation for partying plopping down right in the middle of a well established, family oriented, residential community.

(By the way, for the most part, this is why the area is so much less affluent than many other parts of Athens InTheKnow, maybe you should take a look at some census bureau results and see what those those of us who actually LIVE here make. The people in our neighborhood are not getting their cash funnelled over from Mommy and Daddy in Cobb County)

I have a Bachelor’s degree from University of Georgia, I have a full time job at the University of Georgia… sometimes I even have a second job and I can say that I do not welcome Kappa Alpha.

I feel that this Fraternity House has been allowed to pop up because we are a less affluent neighborhood without the organization and political pull of Five Points, Boulevard, or even ARMC. The views of InTheKnow, who to me is

Maybe if the cities would spend their tax money on fighting crime, which is their responsibility by the way, instead of paying cokeheads to write bad rap songs welcoming you to come to the city and “Stick ‘em up, stick ‘em up” they wouldn’t have to raid the federal treasury. We won’t even get into how much cash they waste paying various “woots” to blog.

Hey Midori, you might want to check and see who really has their head up thier a-ss:

TALLAHASSEE - Even among Republicans, U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris’ U.S. Senate bid is in trouble: {{{{A poll released Friday shows her getting only 35 percent of the vote in the GOP primary in September}}}} — enough to beat her no-name opponents, but not even close to dominating the field.-MiamiHerald

She dominated the field.

“We need to keep this country together right now. We need to focus on this terrorism issue,” Clinton said during a White House news conference. But while the president pushed for quick legislation, Republican lawmakers hardened their stance against some of the proposed anti-terrorism measures. One key GOP senator was more critical, calling a proposed study of chemical markers in explosives “a phony issue.”

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, but your idiocy left me speechless.

The guy who thought he could use a blowtorch to cut through a 2 foot cable and bring down the Brooklyn Bridge was a bumbler. Touting his arrest as a breakthrough in the “war on terrah” was laughable.

Like those stumblers in Miami. No money, no tickets, no bombs, no cameras, no SHOES!!!

On the other hand….

The 9/11 hijackers were 19 men, with unknown accomplices who were funded with well over $1 million of al Qaeda money for training in Afghanistan and Pakistan and flight schools in the US (plus travelling and living expenses) in a plot that spanned several years.

And you equate the two? You’re dumber than pond scum.

Trumping fear with reality*,

YOUR response left me INCREDULOUS. In addition to the famous bumbler known as Richard Reid, recruited right out of a London Mosque -

The well-funded Al Qaeda operatives whom we didn’t catch because of Jamie Gorelic’s famous “Wall” between the CIA and FBI, and because of the DENIAL OF A REQUESTED FISA WARRANT were a bunch of bumblers and fumblers when they were in Flight school.

That’s why the owner of the Flight school reported Zacharias Moussaoui to the FBI. While he had a Master’s Degree(s) he was still a bumbling idiot when it came to taking the controls of a Great Big Jet.

FBI agent Coleen Rowley made an explicit request for permission to search Moussaoui’s personal rooms. This request was first denied by her boss, Deputy General Counsel Marion “Spike” Bowman, and later rejected based upon FISA regulations {amended after 9/11 by the USA Patriot Act}. Several further attempts failed the very same way. As a result, the chance of finding early evidence passed unused.

{{FBI watchdog Sen. Chuck Grassley, Republican-Iowa, later wrote to FBI Director Robert Mueller:}}

{{If the application for the FISA warrant had gone forward, agents would have found information in Moussaoui’s belongings that linked him both to a major financier of the hijacking plot working out of Germany, and to a Malaysian al-Qaida boss who had met with at least two other hijackers while under surveillance by intelligence officials.}}

As I said earlier, I don’t want a dead drunk rock ‘n’ roll musician deciding which plots have merits and which don’t.

You are truly ignorant. Osama and company are planning REAL plots RIGHT NOW. Since 9/11, Bush has done nothing except invade Iraq, barely hold Afghanistan, and arrest Richard Reid wannabes like the Brooklyn Bridge and Miami dunces.

By bringing up Gorelick and Moussaoui and cra-p that happened well before 9/11, you conveniently overlook what Bush is doing now against “terrah” in the US. Which is NOTHING. Except arresting dunces.

Based on comments from Truthman I think he did not get a bid and is jealous. The guy he refers to may be a jerk. We pledge some, as do the Pike’s the Lamda Chi’s, Delts etc. If everyone would read the history of Kappa Alpha and there spirtual leader,Robert Edward Lee of Old Virginia, they would further understand the values for which we stand. Robert E. Lee once wrote the definition of a gentleman.

Definition of a Gentleman

“The forebearing use of power does not only form a touchstone, but the manner in which an individual enjoys certain advantages over others is a test of a true gentleman.

The power which the strong have over the weak, the employer over the employed, the educated over the unlettered, the experienced over the confiding, even the clever over the silly - the forebearing or inoffensive use of all of this power or authority, or a total abstinence from it when the case admits it, will show the gentleman in a plain light.

The Gentleman does not needlessly and unnecessarily remind an offender of a wrong he may have committed against him. He cannot only forgive, he can forget; and he strives for that a nobleness of self and mildness of character which impart sufficient strength to let the past be but the past. A true man of honor feels humbled when he cannot help humbling others.

R.E. Lee

These are the ideals that the Kappa Alpha Order was founded on by those 4 young men at Washington and Lee University, NOT the continuation of slavery and that live style. There is nothing wrong with being a Gentleman, Southern or Northern. The emphasis needs to be placed on GENTLEMAN.

I know nothing about the neighborhood that the brothers are wanting to move into , so I cant make any comparision to what has happened in the past or what may happen in the future. All I know that these men will be good stewards of there property and in there behavior. They have been brought up in the teachings of a Gentleman. Give them a chance to prove it.

Since the first terrorist attack on our interest we have strictly gone after those that attacked those interest and look what it has gotten us. I think Clinton called it “whacking moles” and why do these libs want to contnue on this course of action? It is essentially fighting the symptoms while leaving the disease in tact to kill later.

While in the short term we may be creating more terrorists with bombs and missiles, I do not think a free society in the middle-east (assuming we will not be in the region) will promote new terrorists, but it will slow their creation. But the libs want it to fail and will withdraw our troops prematurely thereby assuring that failure.

Something about the snide, simpering quality of this post led me to that conclusion, which is far more accurate than your “psychic” conclusion that I am a rubber stamp Republican:

When you lie down at night wrapped in your warm comfortable blanket of safety provided you by the young men in women in our military and honestly look inisde yourself and upward to God and say that you have done all you could to help keep America free? Do you ever have any remorse for making fun and light of the most horrible situation that possibly this nation will ever face? I understnd political cartoons; they have their place - sometimes; but in light of 911 and the status of the war where young people are not reading newspapers, but dying, do you ever feel that you are doing our country a huge disservice?

When the AJC comes tumbling down from an explosion or some other building in Atlanta, will you think that will be funny also. What is wrong with a group in society that lives only to sensationaize some happening rather than honoring their country that sustains them? I honestly believe if some newspaper/TV people knew where Bin Laden was and it was news worthy, they would hide him out.

We have got to stop this silly schoolyard partisn, bickering, dissention, that is tearing our country apart. Both the Bible and Lincoln said that a house divided against itself cannot stand. Just take a look at children of divorce and see how they fair with a house divided. You can start by looking a Hitler and Bin Laden. Their houses were divided by divore.

Are you ever aware of who gave you your talent and if you are using it to the potetnial to which it was given? God gives and God takes away.

I makes my heart sick to see people on CNN, AJC, and other so called news agencies destroying our nation; doing far more than the terrorist have ever done. You are helping in that effort. Be ashamed.
