It’s a little hard for me to take those complaining about all this seriously, though, since A) they will be the first ones screeching about an “intelligence failure” after the next terrorist attack, and B) every one of them seems perfectly unbothered by the income tax. If you care about privacy, you should detest the income tax — the most onerous intrusion of government into our personal lives in the history of our nation. And if you support the income tax, don’t bother whining to me about your text messages to Istanbul. Worrying about the NSA overseas while the IRS exists here at home is like complaining mostly that your rapist left the toilet seat up when he fled. It shows a certain inability to grasp the scale of the various offenses committed against you.

How true, the same people that will fill out a stack of forms and allow the government to monitor their whole life, just so they can get a tax payer funded check every 2 weeks, will wail the loudest about the privacy of phone calls made to Iran.

My son just flew (United) to spend the weekend with a friend who was deploying to Iraq, second time (that made it personal, not theoretical - but that’s another discussion). He paid an extra $400 to get there on a Fri at 1:30 instead of Fri at 10 pm. Flight delays on a connecting flight. He arrived 10:30 pm. Oh, the delay was not weather - United wanted to change out flight crews, did so, then realized another crew was unavailable, then said, “oh, our mistake, we had a weather delay.”

Paul,

Last Sunday my wife was flying to D.C. for a consulting job. Her scheduled early flight was canceled and she was re-booked on a P.M. flight. It too was canceled and Delta re-booked her on a Monday flight at 7:30 A.M. That’s a lousy time when it’s 100 miles each way to the airport. Thank goodness she checked her email before she left: flight canceled again. She finally got out on a 7:00 P.M. flight, but wised up and booked AirTran for her return leg.

This all occurred at end-of-month. It is my suspicion that Delta had the same problem as Northwest, but didn’t come clean about it to the press.

Thanks. No money back from the airline. Thankfully, I found out his friend was being deployed to southern Iraq (formerly under British control) doing the initial interrogation processing of prisoners. Very, very secure area, huge compound. That’s what gets me about the publicity of a few dishonorable renegades becoming the standard in the public’s mind about how the US military treats prisoners.

On one of my first summer trips to Arizona to work on a reservation, two of my children went with me. We stopped at every state line and took pictures. We took pictures of the first sejuaros we saw. We took a picture of the Texas Ranger who gave us a ticket in a speed trap in Jefferson Davis County.(“You’re going to give a poor Southerner a 5 miles over-the-speed-limit ticket in JEFFERSON DAVIS COUNTY? Answer: Yes, mam.) I gave it a good try, anyway.

There were other exciting moments such as when my 15 year old daughter was zipping down the road, doing some practice driving, and a new tire went kabloom!!. We made it to Arizona anyway.

Dust ball - Sunday I posed a question to you on Wooten’s blog about your favorite subject… I asked you to please cite examples of how posting a dissenting opinion on the “war on terror” could be construed as aiding the enemy. I seriously am interested in your line of thinking here…for one, you dwell on this topic much of the time but never bother to expound.

Yesterday you wrote…”Look at liberal voices here. Stop supporting the war!! Keep saying there is no mission in Iraq!! Say that the best supplied military in the world does not have adequate armor, helmets, etc. Say that generals are all “yes” men to Bush. Stop the “surge” before it is half way finished. Delay funding. Overlook every postive thing in Iraq (including their soccer team.) Say we are bombing poor innocent civilians. Act like Americans just like to kill.

Yes, liberals like you keep it up because you want to lose the war and discredit the Republican President you hate. You would even use a fallen bridge for propaganda.”

Are you really convinced that people (when I say people, I’m talking about roughly 70% of Americans)are expressing their opinions openly because they want America to fail in Iraq? Should we just all be silenced then? A “if you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing at all” type mindset? So, exactly who is the communist here?

Obviously, we need more troops to solve this problem. Only a brilliant military strategy will get these Sunnis back in the fold. Once we have a sound military response, I am certain that the respective parties will come to the necessary agreements that will allow us to leave. You see the surge gave the Sunni’s the ‘breathing room’ they needed to walk away. What we need now is more security so that they can find their way back.

Good afternoon all.

IN THE NEWS at 12:45:

The situation with Newt’s blunt assessment of this administration and the blunder called Iraq, is indeed hard to figure out.

At first, I thought perhaps the guy truly has had some sort of epiphany, but I should have known better.

For two reasons.

One, he talks about the polarization in Washington as on of the main problems. And he is correct. Yet he was THE very architect of the slash and burn personal attacks that he now derides. Not terribly credible. Not until he acknowledges that he was one of the main people in creating it.

Secondly, he says the GOP getting its hat handed to it in last November’s election was because of a lack of performance. NOT values.

He just couldn’t be more wrong, IMHO.

The unquestionable incompetence of this “new” GOP is partly because their values are so skewed.

And that is a big part of why many, many Americans who once agreed with them, have now given up on the neo-cons as a failed exercise in reactionary politics.

We desperately need REAL conservatives, men of honor and integrity in this country. And I believe Newt wouldn’t know one if he sat in his lap…

Duh,

Glad to see you presented scientific facts disputing global warming. That “Blah, blah, blah” statement really got me to thinking.

A general reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere may contribute to the development of ice ages. Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas. Decreases in the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere may lead to global cooling.

Therefore, common logic says the increase of CO2 will cause the opposite effect.

Our military understands that we can’t ever win a “war on terror” by always trying to kill all the terrorists — if the Iraqi gov’t will not solve their political problems, there is no military “winning” in Iraq.

And as Gen. Wesley Clark states in an e-mail to his subscribers: “We can’t succeed in Iraq with the numbers of troops, no matter how good they are, because you can’t succeed in this war just by killing people or intimidating the opposition. Dave Petraeus would be the first one to tell you that. The military’s part of the solution. It’s not the answer. The answer’s the politics.”

Will the Kurds compromise on oil revenues? They already did in June.

Will the Turks accept the Kurds. Handshakes between all after the elections. Keeping in mind that the Turks are desperately seeking admission into the E.U., they’ve had to initiate some changes to their constitution.

Some Kurds are very receptive to oil companies coming into their fields. There will have to be cooperation between Turkey/Kurds or Kurds/Iraqi government.

Bush is working to mend fences with the Turks.

Democrats in congress are pushing a resolution on the Armenian genocide during WWI, something that the Turks adamantly reject.

Speaking against the war in Iraq will only embolden the enemy. Speaking against the President only emboldens the enemy. Conducting opinion polls only emboldens the enemy.

Notifying parents and wives and children of their family memebers deaths only emboldens the enemy. The Press reporting about bombings in Iraq emboldens the enemy. There really is nothing you can do that will not only embolden the enemy. So if you are a true patriot, give blind alliegance to Our Dear Leader and his war policy.

If we had no press, no elections, no free speech, do you think the terrorists would have tried to take our freedom? Of course, not. They aren’t bombing China are they? We ought to take a lesson there.

And as we know only free societies lose wars. The Nazis had to fight the Russians, Great Britain, the US and their questioning, traitorous free press along with a public that was free to speak their minds. No wonder they lost. We won because we didn’t have to worry about free speech or elections or anything that might embolden the enemy and that is just as the founders wanted it

Bosch,

I hate to burst your bubble, as I imagine you are jumping for joy at what you foolishly perceive as Newt moving to the Left, but The “Phony War” is an historical phrase that refers to Neville Chamberlain’s policy of appeasement toward Hitler.

Newt does not believe that Bush is being aggressive enough, so don’t expect him to be marching in any Peace marches with the Moonbats.

NRO translates it nicely here:

… If you read what he actually said, however, Newt said that the war is entirely real. What is “phony,” he argued, is the administration’s approach to the war — including the reluctance to come to terms with the facts that radical Islam is the enemy, that you can’t win it in a single theater (like Iraq), and that any serious approach would require real thought about energy independence.
