DEL.ICIO.USNo time for Americans to be impatient
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In the days leading up to Monday’s milestone anniversary of the attacks that took America into the war on terrorism, President Bush spoke to the nation with sparkling clarity on the nature of the threat and the enemy we are fighting.
In another era, it might have been enough. Now, though, the nation has grown so polarized that it’s not certain any evidence will be sufficient to convince the determined left that dominates the national Democratic Party. For every American, for every voter especially, it boils down to a single question: Who do you trust to keep America safe?
On Wednesday, Bush introduced the country to 14 terrorists, including Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and “the men our intelligence officials believe orchestrated the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans on Sept. 11th, 2001,” along with “those believed to be responsible for the attack on the USS Cole and an operative believed to be involved in the bombings of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.”
He presented them as an anniversary payment to “the families of those murdered that day [who] have waited patiently for justice.” And he presented them, too, to the Congress that will decide the rules for the military commissions charged with imposing justice.
Asking Congress to do anything that offers opportunity for political posturing two months before an election is ordinarily a guarantee that nothing of substance will come from it. But in this instance, Bush framed the issue brilliantly.
Congress knows, and the American people are reminded, that in authorizing military commissions for terrorists, as the U.S. Supreme Court directed, the construct of the tribunals may well determine whether the outcome is justice or eternal legal wrangling. With the 14, Congress and the nation can see that the issues are not mere legal abstractions involving proceedings for those who are caught up in a sweep of the battlefield.
Two Bush speeches of the past week are worth reading. One is his White House remarks of last Wednesday. The other was his address here on Thursday to the Georgia Public Policy Foundation. Both are available at www.whitehouse.gov/news.
In each, he attempted to address questions raised by the war’s opponents, including the mission in Iraq. “The fighting has been difficult and it has been bloody, and some say that Iraq is a diversion from the war on terror. The terrorists disagree … Al-Qaida leaders have declared that Baghdad will be the capital of the new caliphate that they wish to establish across the broader Middle East … The terrorists know that the outcome of the war on terror will depend on the outcome in Iraq — and so to protect our own citizens, the free world must succeed in Iraq.”
The war on terror, he said, “is more than a military conflict. It is the decisive ideological struggle of the 21st century. And we’re only in the opening stages.”
That is the truth. The question, though, has always been whether Americans have the patience for wars that, five years after Sept. 11, are still in the opening stages. The temptation is to think not.
That would, of course, be a disaster for the nation. However premature abandonment of Iraq is presented — as redeployment, early withdrawal or repositioning — the defeat will be starkly evident to the entire world. This nation, then, begins a long journey into appeasement as national security policy.
One of the great national blunders of the past 30 years was to abandon the draft. It had its problems, of course, with fairness and with military usefulness. But it forced young men to come to terms with their own values and to become a part of something more important than the individual. Many of them hated the military. But in an important and necessary way, it connected them to the country.
Now this war is treated as a Super Bowl. Every commentator is an armchair general advising the secretary of defense and the president on the appropriate strategy for the war, all the while insisting that the “mission” be defined so that we know whether we are halfway there, a third or some other checklist number. And we position ourselves, too, as arbitrators, almost impartial, determining which threat is legitimate and which isn’t.
The danger here is that America will quit too early because an impatient populace demands instant results. There’s no checklist for Iraq. When the young democracy can survive on its own, it’s time to leave. Not before.

Good morning, Jim,
The President has done a good job over the past couple of weeks explaining the war against Islamist fanaticism and reminding us of what is at stake. It is too bad he has not “communicated” this well over the past five years!
Despite the assertion of the liberals, I have never believed that the war, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq, was about oil. Neither have I bought the “idiocy” that some leftist fanatics have spewed that “Georgie” was trying to exact some revenge against Saddam Hussein for the latter’s engagement with and threats against “Bush 41.”
To his credit, the President has said all along what the purpose of the military efforts of the United States is. He has reiterated that purpose in his speeches over the past several days. He believes the way to defeat Islamist fanaticism is to establish “democratic” governments in the region. These governments, once secure in themselves, will rise to the task of destroying Islamist fanaticism and, more important, will provide the environment and opportunities that will cause the populace to be drawn away from supporting the terrorists and the “culture of death.”
Despite the denials of the conservative right, this is “nation building.” It is an excellent strategy, in theory, but, alas, someone has not told the President that the Iraqi people have never had the opportunity to live “democratically.” Consequently, a lot of education, training, growing, and, one suspects, dying is going to have to be done prior to their achieving a level of sophistication in self-government.
The trouble all along has been the advisors the President has surrounded himself with. At best he has had “C” grade bureaucrats in a number of key positions…not the least of which has been in the office of Secretary of Defence.
More than anything else, I fault the President for not finding a “wise warrior” to direct our military in this difficult and dangerous time. For the greatest and wealthiest nation on the face of the earth to send our troops into harm’s way, which we did initially, without the very finest equipment and munitions is a “crime” for which, in my judgment, Secretary Rumsfeld should be tried. For us to try to occupy a nation the size of Iraq with 130,000 troops, when at least twice that number is needed, is unconscionable. One cannot guarantee that with more troops there might not have been as many American deaths, but perhaps there also would have been more Iraqi insurgent deaths!
Do I believe the President’s speeches in this “drive to the mid-term elections” will make a difference?
It is hard to say. The vast number of Americans is polarized pro or con toward Bush. The “undecided” element of the population is very, very small. Sad to say, many “undecided” are really “unconcerned.”
Success in the fall elections is going to determine on which group gets their people to the polls. Generally, the turn-out in mid-term elections is smaller than in presidential contests, but I suspect this year we may see a larger number of folks appearing to cast their ballot as a referendum vote on the conduct of the war and, perhaps, as a statement on the President’s overall performance.
We shall see.
I am off for the day. Have a great weekend, Jim and all my fellow bloggers.

It’s frustrating to see everyone who disagrees with the war as a liberal. I’ve voted for Bush twice, but am appalled by the way things have gone over the last 3 years or so. The polls indicated that almost everyone who isn’t a hardcore conservative agrees with me. This is one of the things driving people away from the conservative movement - the inability to accept any criticism without calling someone a liberal.

Cant get this one song out of my head this morning: the unplugged version of the “Meow Mix” song.
Hate it when that happens. Nothing you can do but wait it out.
Pat Robertson is ranting about the cartoon icons who adorn the “scrubbing bubbles” spray can of bathroom cleanser. He seems to think one of them is gay. He just said, “Either you agree that one of the scrubbing bubbles is gay, or the terrorists win”.
Hey! That makes as much sense as using rocket tubes to enrich uranium - or nation building in the middle of a 14 centuries-old civil war. (but that’s just my godless liberalism talkin’)
Okay, if you really insist on knowing what the insurance companies are predicting for Iraq: Based on a compilation of dozens of independent think tanks: We stay put and within about a few years, a bubble country, (a green zone of democracy and freedom), will emerge inside of the civil war chaos. The reconstruction will be limited to this bubble. Consider it the Vatican of democracy.
We will draft, mostly new citizen immigrants, the necessay million man army it will take to protect that bubble of democracy.
Two Iraqs will exist. One in the bubble, one outside. Those outside the bubble will live in pure hell. The lucky Kurds, however, will flourish, as they have for the past 15 years thanks to our no fly zone and the fact that we’ve armed them to the teeth. They have entrenched themselves athwart, (thanx Newt), the northern gas/oil fields. (make that 3 iraqs).
This will go on indefinitely until an Iraqi leader emerges uniting the tribes: Kahn! Then Kirk and his Klingon Intern will be disgraced in a sex scandal involving a little known sex act with cigars set on “stun”, made famous in the 20th century on planet earth by a long forgotten US prez and his aide, (a real wide beam).
Hey, that makes as much sense as Powell did at the UN in early 2003. Google that speech for the comedy bit of the century.
The Shia will make a play for the southern oil, and with Iranian hardware, secure that region. Make that 4 iraqs.
If we cut and run, however, the Iraqis will fight it out, like they’re supposed to, like every country must, and then a real Iraq of the fittest will emerge: the last cleric standing, if you will.
The Last Cleric Standing!!
“Good evening, ladies, gentlemen, and germs! I just flew in from Kabul, and boy, are my wive’s arms tired. My arms are tired too, not from flying, but from beating my wives during the flight.
“You know, I dont think that bio warfare is such a good idea no more. Last night my wife contracted the inhalation form of PMS.
“No really, I miss peace. I used to travel…even to New York. Why, only a short time ago I visited Broadway. You know something, I’m still trying to decypher all the coded messages in the “Vagina Monologues”. If we could crack that code….then we terrorists really WOULD win!!! But I kid the jihad.

The President never said it would be a quick war, he never said it would be easy and he has let us know what to expect. But, alas when he isn’t saying what you want - you don’t listen. This is the fault of the loony lefties.

Iraq is a war we should have never started. It was based upon a lie. The war in Afganistan was justified. An incursion in Pakistan would have been justified. of course all of this is hindsight, based upon what the public is allowed to know.
My question is, why all the fuss about Iran? Our intelligence was flawed on Iraq, who’s to say the same isn’t rue about Iran?
It seems to me the only thing to be accomplished would be to further create instability in the oil markets. Iraq certaintly accomplished a large boost in oil prices. Was this by design? I question the wisdom/motives of our current path.

Now why are we in Irag? from Robert Elisberg:
Okay, so this is the first war in American history where you need a theater program to explain it. Let’s see if we can get it straight:
We went to war to fight the Taliban who harbored the 9/11 al Qaeda terrorists.
But then we shifted the war to Iraq, because they had WMD’s which posed an imminent threat to the United States.
But no WMD’s were found, so it turns out we actually went to war to overthrow Saddham Hussein and bring freedom to Iraq, thereby Accomplishing the Mission.
But the Mission wasn’t actually Accomplished, so the reason we were in Iraq was to put down insurgents from reclaiming the country.
But the actual, real reason we’re fighting Iraqi insurgents is to make the country the shining Road Map to Peace in the Middle East.
But really, it’s not Iraqi insurgents who were our enemy, because the whole reason we were at war was to rid Iraq of Al Qaeda terrorists, even though none had been there under Saddham Hussein before we destabilized the country.
But now it turns out we aren’t even fighting terrorists at all, but rather Islamic Fascists.
But then, the President and Defense Secretary tell us we’re instead fighting actual Fascists. And Nazis. Real live Nazis. Come to life again, risen from Hell after 60 years.
But no, it’s worse, because according to the Secretary of State, we’re really fighting the Deep South in the Civil War. The Deep South! The President’s biggest ally. The only person this won’t shock is Senator George Allen, who still fights for the Confederacy - although he was born in Los Angeles.
Cliff’s Notes on steroids wouldn’t help explain this mess. Even a summary is mind-numbing:
We don’t actually know the reason we got into Iraq, rather than Afghanistan. It keeps changing.
We don’t know what our goal is in Iraq. It keeps changing.
We don’t know who it is we’re actually fighting in Iraq. It keeps changing.
We don’t even know for sure that it’s Iraq where we are fighting, since it may be Nazi Germany, or Franco-Fascist Spain. Or maybe even the Confederacy.
And we don’t have the slightest strategy how to get out. That never changes.
Then again, we don’t even know how we’d know we won, if we ever won. Who would surrender to us? How can you even have a leader of The Enemy, when you keep changing who The Enemy is?!
The one thing we do know, because we hear it almost every day now in desperation from the White House, is that “History shows us…” something or other.
In truth, the only thing history has shown us from Iraq is that these people who are trying to teach us history don’t understand history. They didn’t grasp history that there was been religious fighting in Iraq between the Sunnis and Shiites for 1,000 years. They didn’t grasp history that when you fight a war, you send in the troops that are needed. They didn’t grasp history that when your war plan isn’t working, you learn from history and change the course.
The thing is, when you’re fighting a war, history shows us you should know precisely who you’re fighting and why. Crystal-clear, slam-dunk know. You have to know. Otherwise, how could anyone write great war songs and inspire the populace?
I mean, it’s really basic. Just go through history and take a look.
Revolutionary War. We were fighting the British. To gain independence.
Civil War. We were fighting the Confederacy. To end slavery and save the Union.
World War I. We were fighting Germany. To keep them from taking over the world.
World War II. We were fighting Germany, Italy and Japan. To keep them from taking over the world.
Korean War. We were fighting North Korea. To protect the boundary between North and South Korea.
For goodness sake, we even knew who we were fighting in Vietnam! The North Vietnamese. And the reason was…well, okay, not everyone exactly knew why, but at least there was One Official Reason: to stop Communism from spreading throughout Southeast Asia and ultimately to Kansas.
And then there’s the Iraq War.

Here’s something else history teaches us -
When you’re fighting a war, and you can’t explain so clearly that the youngest schoolchild can understand who you’re fighting and why you’re fighting it…
…then you don’t have an actual reason. And you’re making it up as you go along. And taking the country along for the ride.

Jim:
Bush is doing a much better job getting his message across. I believe he has a new speech writer, or at least that’s what I read over a month ago. He needs to “read” them and not adlib their content. Liberals will pounce on every misstep because their self interest is centered on defeating Bush, not the threat of terrorism.
It’s become painfully obvious that the liberals enjoy a life of complacency. Rarely have they moved beyond the status quo and the status quo cannot defeat this imbedded enemy. This war was declared long before Bush, and it was not one of our choosing. We are responding to an enemy who has been waging attacks throughout the world for years preceding the war in Iraq. For those liberals who would argue that Islamofacism did not exist in Iraq, I would ask…where exactly would they have approved a pre-emptive strike against this threat to “the free world?” There are countries who have accomodated them, and still, they attack their complacent hosts.
As much as I hate to admit it, reinstating the draft will be necessary from this day forward for our country. We now exist in a tumultuous power hungry world where competition for military supremacy rules the day.
God help us all if the “Do-Nothing Democrats” have an opportunity to protect this nation from an enemy they view as an illusion our actions have created.

I am constantly amazed by the vitriolic rantings of both the left and the right. Terrorism is not and should not be a political football…as the author stated, and I agree…it is the ideological struggle of the 21st century. There are millions upon millions of people worldwide who agree with bin laden et al, and they are not just going away because we want them to. Just read some of the newspapers from the 3rd world and you’ll realize there is a very real threat to Western civilization…and it’s growing.
At the time of 911, I told my wife if the terrorists were smart, they’d lay off doing anything major in the US for 10 years and our “instant solution” society would tear itself apart in its soul searching to the degree we’d be easy targets again. This internal bickering and name calling is just what our adversaries want.
Let’s start acting like our forefathers, identify the mission and get it done. FDR was absolutely right when he said the only thing we had to fear was fear itself. It’s time we get on the same page!

Your mindset is full blown wingnut, scared to death of the evil Muslims.
Objective observer my a$$.
Try this dose of reality:
“Though our officials only see Iran as an enemy, as does Israel, our policies in the Middle East these past 5 years have done wonders to strengthen Iran’s political and military position in the region. We have totally ignored serious overtures by the Iranians to negotiate with us before hostilities broke out in Iraq in 2003. Both immediately after 9/11, and especially at the time of our invasion of Iraq in 2003, Iran, partially out of fear and realism, honestly sought reconciliation and offered to help the U.S. in its battle against al Qaeda. They were rebuked outright. Now Iran is negotiating from a much stronger position, principally as a result of our overall Middle East policy.
We accommodated Iran by severely weakening the Taliban in Afghanistan on Iran’s eastern borders. On Iran’s western borders we helped the Iranians by eliminating their arch enemy, Saddam Hussein. Our invasion in Iraq and the resulting chaos have inadvertently delivered up a large portion of Iraq to the Iranians, as the majority Shiites in Iraq ally themselves with Iranians.”
Iraq is Iran’s ally. It is the failed neocon plan.

The foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is based upon the rejection of all forms of domination, both the exertion of it and submission to it, the preservation of the independence of the country in all respects and its territorial integrity, the defence of the rights of all Muslims, non-alignment with respect to the hegemonic superpowers, and the maintenance of mutually peaceful relations with all non-belligerent States.
It means they do not want to be bullied by other arrogant pos like w. They want respect and they will get it now they are the power of the Middle East thanks to w. Their rhetoric is political bs to unite the Muslim world and it worked.

Anyone check out the Iraqi Constitution?
It is a road map to regional independence. the local laws are stronger than the central laws. (State laws override Federal).
Now focus on the Shia Militias, which already had a defacto local hegemony. There are no viable avenues that the elected Iraqi government can take to stop the Shia Militias from performing whatever civic duties they see fit. (civic duties: destroy israel)
We are fighting to install fascists military fundementalists, each in it’s own little corner of Iraq, which would have happened with or without our troops.
No matter the motivation, (the secular democratic Kurds, the Sunnis, the Shias), each group has it’s own agenda and will do whatever they please to attain those goals, even if it involves perpetuating the 14 centuries old civil war that’s raging.
In other words, we can chant, “Stay the course” as loud as they chant, “Death to America”, and it aint gonna change a gottdang thing about the destiny of Iraq.
The window of a mission-accomplished style victory that existed in Bush’s mind has closed. There can be no unified Iraq. Maybe for three weeks in 2003, we had a chance to build one, but we missed that chance when we had no peace plan.
Did you know that the only ministry building left standing and operational and gaurded at “mission accomplished” was the oil ministry?
Not even the water ministry building was intact, leaving baghdad dry.
Newt Ginrich seems to think it’s about oil. Ask him. IF he comes out swinging against Bush’s Iraq policy then he can win in ‘08. Watch Newt play both sides.

The war in Iraq has lasted much longer and cost much more than the President led us to believe. We’re not losing because of the competence of the enemy. We’re losing because of the incompetence of President Bush. Those who seek to redeploy out of Iraq are not impatient. To the contrary, they’re extraordinarily patient. But now, justifiably, their patience has run out. If we had a competent Commander-in-Chief, then I’d support the draft to finish this thing with overwhelming force in the way that Colin Powell advocated. However, since we’re stuck with Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney and Mr. Rumsfeld, I support redeployment. Unfortunately, Mr. Wooten confuses appeasement with pragmatism.

The Right is right in complaining about all the parallels the left makes in comparing Bush to Hitler. It’s ridiculous, and inappropriate.
Then why did Rumsfeld invoke the specter of the Nazi era with his incantation of the term, “appeasement”.
That word’s current definition entered the lexicon when Britain’s Chamberlain signed a peace treaty with Hitler just before WW2.

I will not join these WHORES in the ensuing EXPLOIT-FEST EXTRAVAGANZA while they use one of our nation’s biggest tragedies and ongoing sorrows as a slingshot with which to launch their flaming hunks of POO at their fellow Americans in a lame attempt to prove they’re “right.” (That really is all they care about anyway, right Mr. Wooten?)

Mr. Wooten, I hope this is O.K. but I’d like to leave a way in which we can make a difference while remembering the victims of 9/11. The gestures, however small, can help us, as individuals, cope with the tragedy while letting someone know that we care. Pass it forward.
It’s something that we should all do daily. I often think of those innocent victims in the WTC and the families they left behind. The courageous deeds of emergency personnel and strangers tied to one another through their humanity.
It is a barbaric enemy that we face and the country should come together to support the efforts of those fighting to protect us. Regardless of why, what, or how we ended up in Iraq, we must finish the job. I’m pleased that President Bush is implementing new & different methods in which to overcome the threat. Diplomacy is ongoing and our troops and the coalition forces are steadfast in their committment to the Iraqi and Afghani people.

Sir, If you as editor for the AJC are responsible for it’s mostly shallow journalism, and mild unoriginal editorial perspective on anything, please retire. Not merely because you add nothing to the conversation, but your lazy point of view which mostly reiterates the propaganda of the Bush administration (not to be confused with the perspective of republicians,democrats, and political nonaffiliates who do not agree with the president or his failed policies), contains little original perspective and reads like a moderately embellished press release from the White House. The war in Afghanistan is not the war in Iraq, when you constantly reiterate the propaganda that got the U.S. into the Iraq war which was based on lies and half truths as is demonstrated every day by many newspapers that practice journalism despite their obvious idealological leanings, newspapers such as the Ny Times , the Washington Times, the Washington Post. If you take the time to distinguish the difference between the two conflicts, you might realize that there are huge rifts in the reasons we engaged in them and that they are both in dire straits. The soldiers who are engaged in fighting and dying in these two different conflicts may wish to point out their lack of similarity, don’t cheapen their work and sacrifice by lumping the two together. 5 years? Please Sir, tell us what the U.S. has accomplished? The world is safer? For who? The people in Kabul (where a suicide cell operates with impunity)? The people in Baghdad? The people in New Orleans or Biloxi? Who has profited from this failed endeavor, who has suffered? Look realistically at the statistics, at the qualitive reports coming out of these conflicts, please examine reality and see that the U.S. is being driven to ruin by the adventures of a group of idealologues who warp the truth or outright lie to further their dogma. How many Americans have died? Iraquis? Afghans? What kind of profits have Boeing, Haliburton, Blackwater, Northrop Gruman, and G.E. made? Why have the oil companies been posting record profits? Who profits from the propaganda Mr. Wooten? Who suffers?

Jim, you are about the only editor at AJC whose positions are consistently worthy of reading. The others sometimes get lucky with an intelligent piece, but I never miss reading “Thinking Right.”
On this issue, you are again on target. Five years is a long time in political cycles. But this war, as Bush said, is a defining ideological issue with worldwide implications. The last great “religious war” in the region lasted nearly 300 years with the Knights Templar vs Muslim militias. In our lifetime, though, great powers like the US v. USSR more or less held their skirmishes to the region.
I want to see more hard-core military action only because strength is the one attribute this enemy has respected since the 7th Century. With Europe having no tangible military strength; and the US unable to trust France, German or Russia; it is truly up to the US to set the standard for global affairs.

Sadly the verminous liberal media even five years on glibly lies and twists the facts - anything to hide sick Willie’s culpability.
Guilt about anything has never bothered sick Willie though - even the extremely credible allegations of rape (highlighted in the investigation by the House during impeachment) both in England and Little Rock he has just completely ignored, along with his proven sexual harassment, and worse of other women.
Clinton is the most disgusting and despicable president the nation has ever had, and one of the most corrupt.

Qty 2 ea. cruise missile into camel tent in Afghanistan.
Qty 3 ea. opportunities to capture Osama.

Damn. I keep hoping gotnolife would show up under a MARTA bus for refusing to come to a cop’s aid on “Metropolitcan Parkway” like what happened this weekend. MARTA bus driver drives away while a criminal punk beats up an Atlanta cop trying to get him on the bus.
Man, I sure am glad Atlanta’s city leaders changed the name of Bankhead Highway and Stewart Avenue to solve all those crime problems.

Ned Lamont praised Lieberman in anti-Clintoon comments in 1998. Yeah that’s right. Peckerboy Clintoon got dissed by Lieberman, and no-name Lamont backed him up then. Ain’t life grand when liberal RATs expose RATs without even knowing?

Just how stupid can a liberal be. This getalife is so afraid of a Republican win in November he sits here all weekend espousing his stupidity. Is he hoping his stupidity will win everyone over to the Democrats? Only if you’re a democrat to begin with. Stupid people follow a clueless party.
Only the U.K. in Afghanistan huh?
Extending Canada’s mission in Afghanistan ‘right thing to do’
Of course, every country has their liberal party and this is how they fight their battles:
Reporter suspended for letter in praise of soldiers
Just like Clinton. Wants to prevent the truth from coming out. Liberal crybabies at war with the truth.
Watch “Path to 9/11” on ABC tonight.

Cal-
This gotnolife person poses with more than one ID. If you get this sick liberal freak REALLY riled up, your ID will be spoofed. It’s happened to just about all regular conservatives here. This individual is sick in the mind and can’t STAND that there is a blog out there on the liberal rag AJC actually giving a conservative voice. You can feel the rage behind the screen of this wicked animal.
Somebody tell the liberal pigs out there that there is a LOT MORE GOING ON OUT THERE OTHER THAN IRAQ.

the ABC movie of the week tonite should be hilarious. I actually stopped watching anything on ABC when NYPD blue finally petered out. But knowing sick Willie and his treasonous cowardly crew will be bedwetting their lawn furniture whilst watching it will make it even more fun. Might even get to see some local commercials I dont usually ever get to see on Fox News and the Fox REAL English Football Channel. Hopefully there’ll be no puke inducing sightings of moniKa kaufmann to ruin the evening!!
Perhaps the vile coward Sandy Burglar will try and steal some more damaging documents in his trousers next week.
bet maggot brain and rednekks vermin cant ever bring themselves to condemn Burglar for stealing the documents … just like their pathetic silence on an apology for Rove after the lefty hate media’s lies on the worthless story about the worthless trollop Plame.

Only after you get off your liberal FATASS and volunteer to build habitat for humanity homes in place of the time you spend on this blog seven FREAKING days a week ten FREAKING hours a day here, you nasty old dried up liberal skank.
Otherwise, sit down, cross your hairy legs, and SHAAADAAAAAAAAP already about military service, PIG. It wasn’t important to your boy for 8 years, hypocritical liberal PIG.

I know Macaca,
You do not have the guts and you blame everything on the liberals.
They need you in the Middle East to fight for what you say you believe in but what what the hell. I know you are all mouth and a coward.
I bet you were whining about Kosovo like the rest of the wingnuts after one month. Jim was too.
Hypocrites.

My apologies getalife. I can’t see supporting a party that won’t promote this nation’s safety and is too quick to criticize our brave soldiers.
Your good deed follows the coward’s way. My brother is over there and I won’t put his life in jeopardy by supporting the enemy and I wish people like you wouldn’t either.

After reviewing part of the recordings of this morning’s Sunday shows like George Steponanoctopus and Meet The Press, one has to ask: why not one mention of Sandy “9/11 document five finger discount sock stuffer” Berger’s rampage at the National Archives?
A second note: not one said host quoted where Bush or ANY OTHER Republican actually said Saddam was directly to indirectly responsible for 9/11 as insinuated by the same assinine repetitive questions over and over. One would think that with all those quotes that Meet The Press has, they’d at least show ONE. It’s all a made-up liberal crock of s**t.

the treasonous Dean the scream nutter on Fox News Sunday point blank refused to apologise to Rove after he was cleared of any and all complicity in the Plame non story.

Yeah that’s right, you pathetic gotnolife-
“They need you in the Middle East to fight for what you say you believe in but what what the hell. I know you are all mouth and a coward.”
And you need our money because you’re too lazy to get off your fatass and build homes for the poor. You want to USE US for your neocommunist policies. You are a PATHETIC human being.

That is ridiculous Felecia.
Real Americans want honest, competent leadership for our troops to win.
Our leadership does not give a crap about winning.
They care about money, power and oil.
Do not apologize for your opinion. It is one of the last freedoms you will happily give away for your so called security.

And you are wrong gotnolife-
I was not “whining” about Kosovo. An Air Force pilot friend (now flying commerical) flew recon missions there. I never ONCE said we didn’t belong there, and I SURE as hell didn’t trash our president for it. So don’t tell me what I KNOW, you pathetic liberal PIG. All YOU know about me is what I SAY here. Liberal PIG.

Thanks Cal-
Another reason to keep these kook fringe liborats out of power for a LONG time: they believe Bush blew up the New Orleans levee system and hired goons to fly planes into the two WTC towers. No word on what happened to the passengers of those non-planes that hit the Pentagon and PA field.. or did these kookasses actually believe one airliner slammed into a PA field?

Perhaps for one day … the fifth anniversary of 9/11 … the liberals can get over their Bush hate and sneering about Iraq etc, or at least politely suspend it for a while.
Whilst we are a long way down here in GA (geographically) from what occured five years ago what happened resonated nationally and internationally. Whatever one’s political position surely we all realise that the mohammedan terrorists (ideally) want to kill of us - regardless of whether we vote GOP or Democrat. That is a pretty sobering and unifying fact to ponder as we all (hopefully) spare at least a few selfless thoughts for those who died on this day … and those who have since in the ongoing struggle between good and evil.

I am an American citizens, I am ashamed of America for what our President is willing to do to get oil from his so called enemy. The American people who wants to believe our President is without sin can continue to keep their heads in the sand but if they were to go back to the first Bush presidency, they will see Bush’s father was the buddy to all of our now called enemy. I don’t and will never support this illegal war, and I do believe that the bombing originated in the mind of the White House. I have family members not fightings for my safety but to get control of an oil field. Why is it so hard for Americans to accept the truth, Bush does not care for the people in Iraq, not do he care for our soldiers who are being killed, maimed and left without help when they come home, do your own research and stop screaming we are doing what is necessary, without knowing the facts. God will be the true judge and America will pay the price for killing innocent people in the name of greed. This is not political right or left, this is calling illegal killing the crime that it is. God is not blessing America for this crime against humanity, in order to fatten wealthy people pockets. Bush is not a God but a devil in sheeps clothing. To the people who believe in small government, how do you explain the 100 billion and counting we have used in the name of making a country become a democracy. How can such a small country win against such large enemies, simple, God is not pleased with what we are doing, therefore we will not win. I suggest conservatives pick up a history book, called the bible and read about David and Galiath, if God is not pleased we can’t win.

So a foreign government, one defeated by the USA in a war, tries to assassinate the former President who led the fight to defeat that country. That’s reason enough for me to let the nuclear tipped missiles fly, to hell with a ground invasion. Iraq is a sht-hole and not really worthy of our efforts, but that is 20-20 hindsight. The way to end this war is to take out a 100 yard radius of every IED that explodes, the a*-holes living in the neighborhood know the bombs are there. You also go after the families of the suicide bombers and plant that thought in the mind of the suicidal.
Fear works, just ask Saddam Hussein.
