A Little Fresh Air

Senator Lieberman...
“I fear that some people take this position also because anything President Bush is for, they’ll be against, and that’s wrong,” said Lieberman, a staunch advocate of the war. “There’s a great tradition in our history of partisanship generally receding when it comes to foreign policy. But for the moment we’ve lost that.”

The former partner of the 'Sore-Loserman' campaign.

Once a Democrat Politician, Joe now provides the truth, some leadership, with a dose of irony for the misguided.

No One Likes A Bully

The mighty Powerline:
"Why then do we bother to defend him when we believe he's being unfairly attacked? First, Senate Democrats and their MSM helpers have no more right to level unfair charges against Gonzales than they did against John Roberts and Sam Alito, notwithstanding the greater merit of these two men.

A smear is a smear.

Second, it's important (and clearly legitimate) to expose smears by the likes of Leahy, Schumer, and Feingold (and in this case, unfortunately, Specter) in order to diminish their credibility when it comes to future battles in which they engage in similar conduct."

The amazing Mr. Hinderaker adds...
"...the Democrats are bullies, and I don't like bullies."

We must rebuke this unethical swindle for petty political gain.

Sadly, the Democrat Party isn't concerned with the safety of the American Public, or even the future of the Free World.

They remain desperately obsessed with their own greed.

The superior WSJ provides another story about dangerous Democrats, who weaken essential tools needed to win the GWOT:
"Last Tuesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing--at which Attorney General Alberto Gonzales was insulted by senators and ridiculed by spectators--was Washington political theater at its lowest. But some significant information did manage to get through the senatorial venom directed at Mr. Gonzales. It now appears certain that the terrorist surveillance program (TSP) authorized by President Bush after 9/11 was even broader than the TSP that the New York Times first revealed in December 2005.

It is also clear that Mr. Gonzales, along with former White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card, tried to preserve that original program with the knowledge and approval of both Republican and Democratic members of key congressional committees. Unfortunately, they failed and the program was narrowed. Today, the continuing viability of even the slimmed-down TSP--an indispensable weapon in the war on terror--remains in serious doubt.

The administration's most immediate concern since 9/11 has understandably been whether al Qaeda sleeper agents, already inside the U.S., would carry out additional catastrophic strikes. To counter this real and continuing threat, President Bush authorized the National Security Agency (NSA) to intercept a full range of al Qaeda communications, presumably on a global basis.

The TSP was not implemented pursuant to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which permits a special federal court to issue surveillance orders when Americans and others are targeted for intelligence gathering inside the U.S. Rather than utilizing FISA's cumbersome and restrictive procedures, the administration relied on the president's inherent constitutional authority as commander in chief to monitor enemy communications in wartime, as presidents have done since Lincoln's day.

In addition, the administration correctly relied on Congress's Sept. 18, 2001, authorization for the use of military force against al Qaeda. In 2004, the Supreme Court ruled that this statute authorized the president to employ all the "fundamental incident\[s\] of waging war." This, by any reasonable standard, would include secretly listening in on the enemy's phone calls, and reading their faxes, emails and text messages."

Interesting Nerve

Very amusing:
Judith Giuliani is an opportunistic, puppy-killing homewrecker who has a full-time hairstylist and needs an extra seat on planes for "Baby Louis," her Louis Vuitton handbag - at least according to a hatchet job on the former mayor's wife in the September issue of Vanity Fair.

The profile by Judy Bachrach begins with an account of the first anniversary of 9/11 at the World Trade Center site, where Rudy Giuliani was to speak to a crowd including Secretary of State Colin Powell, Gov. George Pataki, Mayor Bloomberg and Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Clinton was standing in the aisle "until she was unceremoniously pushed by a phalanx of four burly cops entering the tent, these guarding Judith Nathan, Giuliani's girlfriend... 'The nerve of that woman!' Hillary exploded...'Who does she think she is?' Hillary said to an observer, who later recounted the story."

Upsetting the tired egotism of Hillary Rodham isn't very hard...

Just remind any unethical narcissist, they are not the center of the universe, and they will be deeply offended.

Meanwhile, Rudy is focused on the Democrat Problem:
Giuliani Wants a Probe of Spitzer
'Subpoena Power Is Key, Ex-Mayor Says on Stump'

THANK YOU PRIME MINISTER

The DNC forgot to give PM Brown a copy of the script:
GORDON Brown last night praised George Bush for leading the global war on terror — saying the world owed America a huge debt.

The Prime Minister vowed to take Winston Churchill’s lead and make Britain’s ties with America even stronger.

Mr Brown stunned critics by THANKING President Bush for the fight against Islamic extremism, and insisted the UK-US relationship will be his No1 foreign policy priority.

He said on his first visit to the President’s US retreat at Camp David: “Winston Churchill spoke of the ‘joint inheritance’ of our two countries.”

The PM said that meant “a joint inheritance not just of shared history but shared values founded on a shared destiny”.

He added: “America has shown by the resilience and bravery of its people from September 11 that while buildings can be destroyed, values are indestructable.

“We acknowledge the debt the world owes to the US for its leadership in this fight against international terrorism.”

Marx Must Be Proud

Very concerning indeed...
"The situation could worsen if a Democrat is elected president. On the day the Dow Jones Industrial Average took its second-biggest plunge of the year, the statement issued by the leading Democratic presidential contender, Senator Clinton, was one complaining that an American company had been too profitable. "Exxon Mobil has yet again posted quarterly profits of more than $10 billion," she said, adding, "American consumers continue to struggle to pay higher energy costs because the oil companies have refused to invest in refinery capacity or alternative energy sources. Instead of lining the pockets of big oil, we need a new direction in energy policy."

Mrs. Clinton didn't acknowledge that the Exxon Mobil second-quarter profit was down from what it had earned in the second quarter of the year before, though the markets did, sending Exxon Mobil's stock price down 4.91% on the day, a steeper decline than the broader indexes. The Associated Press noted that the quarterly results were lower than what analysts expected, and quoted one analyst, Brian Youngberg, as characterizing the results as "disappointing." So much for pocket-lining.

It's enough to make a person — and not just a stock market investor — see what Governor Romney means in describing Mrs. Clinton's approach as "out with Adam Smith and in with Karl Marx." What's good for markets is politicians who welcome surging corporate profits, not politicians who issue press releases bemoaning them. While plenty of factors move markets, it's not too much to predict that one of those factors will be discounting of the decisions the millions of minds that are comprised by a market expect to be made by voters in next year and a half."

Send In The Clowns

Via the incredible Lucianne:
"U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts and Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito "duped" the U.S. Senate into confirming them, a top Democratic lawmaker charged on Friday, days after a key Republican questioned if they had lived up to their promises. Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, a member of the Judiciary Committee that held hearings on the two, said they staked out moderate positions in congressional testimony..."

Chuck Schumer is the ultimate comedian.

If these crooked Liberal Partisans are so easily duped,
maybe they should resign from Public Office.

UPDATE:
"It's hard to say how seriously anyone takes Chuck S., who is more arrogant than the average Democratic Senator, but not any smarter. Should a Supreme Court justice die or retire, and should Senate Democrats reject a series of highly-qualified Bush nominees, the Democrats will no doubt pay a price in 2008."

Desperate Threats From A Liberal

The amazing ANCHORESS remarks on this ugly expression:
“It is my intention to destroy your career as a liar,” Mr. Eckhart wrote. “If you produce one more editorial against climate change, I will launch a campaign against your professional integrity. I will call you a liar and charlatan to the Harvard community of which you and I are members. I will call you out as a man who has been bought by Corporate America. Go ahead, guy. Take me on.”

Just another Democrat...

Who uses the word CHARLATAN!

Sinking to new levels of dementia, delusion, and derangement.

The Ugly Continue

The mighty Powerline:
"The administration has introduced legislation to modernize FISA and to give immunity to telecom companies who cooperate in terrorist surveillance, but the Democrats have blocked the legislation.

This is an infuriating story, and one that highlights the situation we currently face in Washington, where one party consistently puts its own political interests ahead of the national security of the United States."

Will Democrats pay for their malfeasance?

The only way to stop them is to vote in 2008.

All Excuse With No Action

The mighty Strata-Sphere:
"This brings back memories of the reasons Bill Clinton stayed our hand when he had Osama Bin Laden in our sights prior to 9-11. Many times Clinton could have revenged the initial attacks on the WTC and our Embassies, but he and his advisers got cold feet because they did not want to deal with the political backlash. That hesitation allowed the planning for 9-11 to proceed to its deadly conclusion. In demonstrating that same hesitancy Hillary has shown that the paralysis of the left in making the hard decisions still exists. She went to pander to Pakistanis and ended up exposing the fact she is, and can never be, Commander In Chief. She hesitated already. She established the excuse not to act. Very Clintonian: all excuse (a.k.a. spin) and no action."

Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

“Well, this is getting kind of silly. I’ve been called a lot of things in my life but I’ve never been called George Bush or Dick Cheney certainly. We have to ask what’s ever happened to the politics of hope?"

HOPE?

Remember Hillary Clinton saying this?

"They're waging this silent war on contraception by using the power of the White House and their right-wing allies in Congress," she complains, adding, "and so far, they're getting away with it."

Ms. Rodham prefers making repulsive references, including divisive racial exploitation, overt religious demagoguery, and humorless ethnic stereotyping.

Just Another Enemy

"Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) Thursday issued a subpoena for top White House adviser Karl Rove to compel him to testify about the firing of several U.S. attorneys."

More of the same...

As Democrats in the Senate know full well, a US President has legal authority to remove any US Attorney for any reason.

The Clinton record is a fine reminder of their ugly hypocrisy.

Just another vivid attempt made by Democrats to try to criminalize their opposition without basis or ethics.

Simply pathetic.

RUNNING AWAY

The mighty Tony Blankley:
"Only one issue evoked genuine passion, and that was: How quickly would you retreat from Iraq? And here, the candidates had clearly been doing earnest research before the debate. Gov. Bill Richardson said he could get all the troops out in five months. Sen. Christopher Dodd claimed he could do it in seven months, while Sen. Joe Biden was insistent that it would take a full nine months to a year to move American troops and civilians down the two-lane road through Basra to the sea.

Bragging at how quickly they could retreat seems to be a peculiarly liberal inclination. While, as I recall, conservative little boys practice quick draw with their cap guns while playing cowboys and Indians, apparently liberal little boys practice how fast they can throw up their hands to surrender to the guys in the black hats...

...But the Democrats on Monday were so hell-bent on quick surrender and retreat that they never even mentioned casualties on the retreat. They should think about Napoleon's withdrawal from Moscow.

Most remarkably of all, not one of the candidates even mentioned the danger of Islamist terrorism the entire night. The Democratic candidates seemed pretty cocky on Monday. But they may have an Achilles heel: national security. Their manifest indifference to the nation's security may yet cost them public trust come next year's election."

The Biggest Liar Of All

Bill Clinton maintains the lead in lies...
'President Clinton has taken a break from delivering paid speeches to pen a fundraising letter for the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee that is chaired by Senator Schumer — "my friend Senator Chuck Schumer" is how Mr. Clinton puts it. Boy is it a piece of work. A copy of the letter shared with The New York Sun charges that Republicans "chose to abuse their power to satisfy the agenda of their most extreme followers. Now we have fighting men and women pinned down in a civil war in Iraq."

Well let the record show that Mr. Schumer voted for that war in the Senate. As for Mr. Clinton, as recently as 2004 he told Time magazine that he "supported the Iraq thing," prompting a Washington Post headline that read in part, " Clinton Backs Bush on Iraq War." CNN reported his comments in June of 2004 by saying, " Former President Clinton has revealed that he continues to support President Bush's decision to go to war in Iraq."

If now Messrs. Clinton and Schumer believe that America's presence in Iraq amounts to being in the middle of a civil war, they both have some explaining to do for their prior positions. The "civil war" charge was used against Mr. Clinton by those who opposed American military involvement in the Balkans. It's an old isolationist saw, and if it were a foreign policy rule never to get in the middle of a civil war, the French never would have helped the patriots win the American Revolution.'

THE LIES CONTINUE

C-BS maintains the partisan swindle...

The mighty Powerline:
"The obvious inference is that CBS has deliberately chosen to mislead and misinform its viewers on the most vital issue of our time."

The Democrats cannot handle the reality, the USA is actually fighting in Iraq, the same Monstrous Group that created 9-11.

Liberals even try to convince themselves, that Muslim Terrorists were not involved in destroying the WTC with hijacked airplanes.

For many, it distorts their ugly perception of the USA...

For others, it interferes with their bigotry of Conservatives...

For elites, it hurts their narcissistic dreams of gaining power...

It is no wonder why the Radical Militants themselves, openly advocate for the Democrat Party's success in the USA.

The comedy of errors continues.

Time For Laughter

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to turn rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's words back on her Wednesday, saying her vote to authorize the Iraq war was "irresponsible and naive."

This is pure entertainment.

But Hillary claims she did not authorize the use of force in Iraq.

As if a Vote in the Senate means something...

Besides, Democrats don't care.

VOTING IS ESSENTIAL

"The House Judiciary Committee, in a straight party-line vote, approved a contempt resolution against White House Chief of Staff Josh Bolten and former White House Counsel Harriet Miers, setting up a constitutional battle between the Bush administration and Congress over executive privilege.

After several hours of skirmishing over whether to send a contempt resolution to the House floor, the committee voted by a 22-17 margin to approve the measure.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other Democratic leaders will now have to decide if and when to hold a vote by the full House on the resolution. A vote could take place as early as next week..."

More unethical efforts from the Corrupt Liberal Democrats.

They are desperately trying to criminalize their political opposition, similar to the horrid efforts experienced in the past.

Stalin would be amused...

Chavez empowered his petty Dictatorship with similar tactics.

Who once talked about teaching lessons?
Wasn't that some brilliant Elite from the NRO ?

Where are those wonderful Conservatives, who once claimed the 2 Major Political Parties in the USA, are essentially the same?

Do they remain so jaded, they are still no longer voting?
(Sadly empowering the ambitions of Hillary and Nancy...)

That is exactly the garbage that Mr. Dobbs wants Americans to believe, so they will continue to enable the Democrat Swindle.

Meanwhile, the Democrat Party continues to lie about everything.

Democrats now say, 'the US must leave Iraq to fight al Qaeda'.

Yep...

That's like leaving your Bank, to find your Savings.

Ever heard of an OXYMORON ?
How about Oxy-Liberal-Moronic ?

Remember what the DNC's front runner once said?
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

It gets worse...

The deceit is only growing, as various Democrats today, (including Hillary Rodham Clinton), suggest they would leave a tiny US Force in Iraq to fight al Qaeda after a major retreat.

Confused?

SEN. CARL LEVIN (D), MICHIGAN: "Al Qaeda has gotten stronger as a result of the policies of this administration, and they are now in Iraq where they were not in Iraq prior to the Iraq war...."

...GARRETT: Advocates of troop withdrawals won't say how many forces they will leave behind to fight al Qaeda and train Iraqis, saying only it will be a fraction of the current 160,000 soldiers and Marines in the field now.

LEVIN: "We do not get into numbers, because our point is that we must change the direction, that the open-ended commitment must end. That is our point."

Sure...

Maybe Hillary Rodham Clinton and Company are foolishly eager to return to the nightmares of Mogadishu in 1993.

LIES have little to do with logic, reason, or sound policy.

Democrats want the USA to abandon millions of Free Iraqis, to be alone to face the same Monstrous Insanity which attacked the US on 9-11.

These Liberal Partisans are convinced Iraq has nothing to do with their GWOT Bumper Sticker, but intend to leave someone there to mind the store?

Just another Democrat Enigma.

Maybe they are interested in the OIL after all...

The comedy of errors continues.

And Hillary is coming to take things away from us in 2008.

It's now quite clear how the results of the surge will be dealt with by domestic opponents of the Iraq war.

They're going to be ignored.

They're being ignored now. Virtually no media source or Democratic politician (and not a few Republicans, led by Richard "I can always backtrack" Lugar) is willing to admit that the situation on the ground has changed dramatically over the past three months. Coalition efforts have undergone a remarkable reversal of fortune, a near-textbook example as to how an effective strategy can overcome what appear to be overwhelming drawbacks.

Anbar is close to being secured, thanks to the long-ridiculed strategy of recruiting local sheiks. A capsule history of war coverage could be put together from stories on this topic alone - beginning with sneers, moving on to "evidence" that it would never work, to the puzzled pieces of the past few months admitting that something was happening, and finally the recent stories expressing concern that the central government might be "offended" by the attention being paid former Sunni rebels.

(Try to find another story in the legacy media worrying about the feelings of the Iraqi government.)

What you will not find is any mention of the easily-grasped fact that Anbar acts as a blueprint for the rest of the country. If the process works there, it will work elsewhere. If it works in other areas, that means the destruction of the Jihadis in detail..."

Then...
"I think it is a terrible mistake for our president to say he will not talk with bad people. You don't make peace with your friends -- you have to do the hard work of dealing with people you don't agree with," said Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination.

Now...
"Certainly, we're not going to just have our president meet with Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez and you know, the president of North Korea, Iran and Syria, until we know better what the way forward would be," she said.

Amazingly, many (even the brightest Conservatives within the political arena) seem to fall for the vivid Clintonian Fraud:
"Senator Clinton had the common sense to say no, she wouldn't make such a commitment. She's got a lot of problems as a candidate, but always pandering to the "give peace a chance" crowd isn't one of them."

Remember, this is the Liberal who kissed Mrs. Arafat on the cheek...

He's also accused of engineering the sale of city-owned properties at a cut rate to Tamika Riley, described by prosecutors as his companion on many of his trips.

Riley, 38, was indicted along with James and also pleaded not guilty Monday. She is charged with fraud, stemming from what authorities say was a scheme to profit from the resale of the land, and with tax evasion.

PROGRESS

“Al-Qaeda’s days are numbered and right now he is scrambling,” said Lieutenant-Colonel Stephen Michael, who commands a battalion of 700 troops in Doura.

A key factor is that local people and members of al-Qaeda itself have become sickened by the violence and are starting to rebel, Lieutenant-Colonel Michael said. “The people have got to deny them sanctuary and that is exactly what is happening.”

Democrats unethically tried to undermine the USA, as it was wisely being led to change the troubled Middle East forever.

The days of appeasing and ignoring the sincere concern, came crashing to an end on 9-11.

Amazingly, we have watched Democrat Partisans try to undermine the liberation of the Oppressed Millions in Iraq.

Many continue to boldly lie to the American Public, about the fight against al Qaeda in Iraq.

Whether it is due to the bigotry for a 'Republican', or the greedy desire for personal political gain, it remains one of the ugliest efforts encountered in recent memory.

Almost as demented as the Clinton Administration Policy, to lie about the monstrous Genocide in Rwanda.

Ironically, a number of these Liberal Democrats voted for the admirable endeavor in Iraq.

Some of these same misguided egotists, opposed President Reagan's essential battle to defeat the horrid Iron Curtain.

It shall not be forgotten...

Last month a jury found her father Mahmod Mahmod, 52, and his brother Ari Mahmod, 51, guilty of murder after a three-month trial. Their associate Mohamad Hama, 30, had earlier admitted killing her…

BIG MAC ATTACKS

'Last year, McDonald's sales in France grew by 8%, almost doubling its growth in American sales, which have also rebounded in recent years.

Every 12 months, one out of two French people visit McDonald's at least once. Annually, they consume 22 million McDonald's salads, 60,000 tons of French fries, 32,000 tons of beef patties, 12,000 tons of chicken, and 600 million buns.

"We hate it and go to it. It's our paradox," a journalist for the French magazine Challenges, Alice Mérieux, said. "We're very anti-American in principle, but individually, if you're going to the movies and have to eat in 10 minutes, you go to McDonald's."'

Please visit the mighty Sweetness & Light:
'Today’s New York Times carries a review of a film called "Hot House" that goes inside Israeli prisons and examines the lives of Palestinian prisoners. We’re not recommending the film or the review. But we do want to share our feelings with you about the beaming female face that adorns the article. You can see it here.

The film is produced by HBO. So it’s presumably HBO’s publicity department that was responsible for creating and distributing a glamour-style photograph of a smiling, contented-looking young woman in her twenties to promote the movie.

That female is our child’s murderer.

She was sentenced to sixteen life sentences or 320 years which she is serving in an Israeli jail. Fifteen people were killed and more than a hundred maimed and injured by the actions of this attractive person and her associates. The background is here.

Neither the New York Times nor HBO are likely to give even a moment’s attention to the victims of the barbarians who destroyed the Sbarro restaurant in Jerusalem and the lives of so many victims. So we would be grateful if you would pass along this link to some pictures of our daughter whose name was Malki. She was unable to reach her twenties - Hamas saw to that.

Though she was only fifteen years old when her life was stolen from her and from us, we think Malki was a beautiful young woman, living a beautiful life. We ask your help so that other people - far fewer than the number who will see the New York Times, of course - can know about her. Please ask your friends to look at the pictures - some of the very few we have - of our murdered daughter. They are at:

http://www.kerenmalki.org/photo.htm

And remind them of what the woman in the Israeli prison - the woman smiling so happily in the New York Times - said last year. "I’m not sorry for what I did. We’ll become free from the occupation and then I will be free from prison."

With so many voices demanding that Israel release its terrorist prisoners, small wonder she’s smiling.'

Hillary Comforts The Enemy

The NY Post:
'The Pentagon yesterday launched a blistering attack on Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton for boosting "enemy propaganda" by demanding the U.S. military whip up plans for withdrawal from Iraq.

The forceful pummeling - in response to Clinton's request that the Defense Department "prepare plans for the phased redeployment" - came in a terse letter to the Democratic presidential front-runner from Defense Undersecretary Eric Edelman.

"Premature and public discussion of the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq reinforces enemy propaganda that the United States will abandon its allies in Iraq, much as we are perceived to have done in Vietnam, Lebanon and Somalia," Edelman wrote in the July 16 letter.

"Such talk understandably unnerves the very same Iraqi allies we are asking to assume enormous personal risks," he added.

Clinton, who voted in favor of the war in 2002, has been calling for the pullout of combat troops as she ratchets her anti-war rhetoric to woo liberal voters who make up the core of the Democratic Party.'

Simply Pathetic

'Congressional Democrats today failed to include a provision in homeland security legislation that would protect the public from being sued for reporting suspicious behavior that may lead to a terrorist attack, according to House Republican leaders.

"This is a slap in the face of good citizens who do their patriotic duty and come forward, and it caves in to radical Islamists," said Rep. Peter T. King, New York Republican and ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee.'

Al Qaeda Is In Iraq ?

More good news for the Free World in Iraq:
"The U.S. command said Wednesday the highest-ranking Iraqi in the leadership of Al Qaeda in Iraq has been arrested, adding that information from him indicates the group's foreign-based leadership wields considerable influence over the Iraqi chapter.

Khaled Abdul-Fattah Dawoud Mahmoud al-Mashhadani, also known as Abu Shahid, was captured in Mosul on July 4, said Brig. Gen. Kevin Bergner, a military spokesman.

"Al-Mashhadani is believed to be the most senior Iraqi in the Al Qaeda in Iraq network," Bergner said. He said al-Mashhadani was a close associate of Abu Ayub al-Masri, the Egyptian-born head of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Bergner said al-Mashhadani served as an intermediary between al-Masri and Usama bin Laden and Al Qaeda No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahiri."

Whooooaaaa...

But Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat Partisans repeatedly told Americans, Iraq had absolutely no relation to the GWOT?

Ms. Pelosi actually maintained, al Qaeda is not in Iraq...

Some of the most unethical Democrat Senators even repeated 'The Big Lie' on the tired Senate floor last evening.

The mighty US Armed Forces continue to impress, as a new Ally in the GWOT is growing within the formerly oppressed Iraq.

A truly Free Democracy born in the heart of the Arab World.

And the Democrats want to run away...

Simply for their demented political opportunism.

HOT WAX

"MoveOn.org, the anti-war group, announced plans for more than 130 events around the country to coincide with the Senate debate, part of an effort to pressure Republicans into allowing a final vote on the legislation. A candlelight vigil and rally across the street from the Capitol was prominent among them, with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., among those attending."

Nancy will also meet with despots who sponsor terrorism.

Didn't the Democrat Speaker burn some wax in Syria as well?

Thank You Senator

On C-Span 2 at this exact moment...

(10:35 PM EST)

Senator Lieberman is speaking on the United States Senate Floor.

This poster has very little to say about Senators in a positive manner, and far less regarding one who holds a Liberal Democrat association.

However, tonight Our Nation is being well served by the simple, honest, strong, leadership provided by Joe Lieberman.

"Who wins if we pull out of Iraq... al Qaeda and Iran."

The Levin-Reid effort is yet another attempt of Senator Lieberman's former Party, to force a US defeat for petty political gain.

Senator Joe Lieberman calls it a "mandated defeat".

It is sadly the truth.

"If this amendment ever passed, we would be running..."

Indeed.

We have all witnessed many unethical efforts...

However, the game played by this modern Democrat Party, hoping to produce the failure of the USA, could be one of the ugliest.

A negligent Political Party consumed with greed, ironically enabling the same forces who attacked the USA on 9-11.

Simply pathetic.

UPDATE:
"The legislation was expected to attract the support of a narrow majority of senators — around 52 votes — but fall short of the 60 votes needed to cut off debate and end a filibuster."

Via Fox News:
"Republicans responded with a yawn - agreeing to stay around and respond to any votes that might be scheduled around-the-clock but remaining steadfast in their opposition to the Democrats' anti-war legislation.

"This is nonsense," said Sen. Ted Stevens, R-Alaska.

Added Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., of his Democratic colleagues: "I bet I can stay up longer than they can."

And so he did, speaking on the floor after even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had retired, a little after midnight, to a cot set up in a parlor adjacent to his office.

Reid had pushed through a motion minutes earlier, on a 41-37 roll-call vote, instructing the Senate Sergeant-at-arms to "request the attendance of absent senators" in an effort to keep members near the chamber. Having made his point, Reid than announced there would be no further votes before 5 a.m. EDT."

Another Bush Administration Victory

The amazing AJ Strata:
'Bush Succeeds With North Korea'

"Despite all the leftwing handwringing and ridiculous calls to move from multi-party regional talks to unilateral US-NK talks (without the pressure from NK’s neighbors) Bush held firm and has succeeded with North Korea and their nuclear threat."

And all this time, Hillary was trying to hide the enormous failure of the Clinton's appeasement of Kim Jong-il, while advocating for more of the same embarrassing Clintonian foolishness...

The Hillary Project writes:
"2. Play nice! No name calling! Sheesh! When they threaten to use their nukes, the correct response is, "Isn't that nice, sir?" Soft language is how important negotiations get resolved all the time. We back down, and then give them everything they want. Problem solved!"

But Hillary shouldn't worry...

Because the Liberal Partisan, Ms. Mara Liasson, recently attempted to mindlessly provide the Clintons with the credit for this recent diplomatic progress on Fox's Special Report.

Maybe next, Ms. Liasson will tell us the Clintons cut taxation!

Giggle giggle...

The delusion, denial, distortion continues.

Dow Passes 14,000

The booming Bush Economy continues to plague Democrat Partisans.

(Democrats are so eager to find a vapid reason to raise taxes...)

Sadly, Liberal Democrats convinced themselves long ago, whatever is bad for the wonderful USA, is good for their political opportunism.

Reading the Reuters version of this economic wonder is fun:
"The U.S. Producer Price Index showed a surprise drop in June. Economists had forecast a small rise. But after stripping out volatile food and energy costs, PPI - a gauge of wholesale prices - rose slightly more than expected last month."

The Liberal Bias is eager to downplay this interesting economic news.

Notice, there isn't one positive quote provided in the article, even as a record is being reached in the powerful US Markets.

Meanwhile, the Corrupt Clinton Bubble looks smaller every day...

Why did the Clinton Administration provide Enron with all of those questionable Federal Loan Guarantees anyway?

Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham entered the Office back in 1992, while the Nation experienced healthy economic growth.

The Clintons massively raised the tax burden on Americans, and left the USA with a Recession after 8 long negligent years.

Now Hillary wants to take things away from us...

The Campaign Of Liars

The mighty Sweetness & Light:
"Lying Joe Wilson Backs Hillary Clinton"

As if the unethical Wilson - Plame Duo were not always working on behalf of the corrupt Democrat Party and the Clinton Folly.

Being an employee of the CIA, serving the Nation, was clearly last on the list for the self serving Plame Swindle, desperate to empower the Democrat Delusion.

Wouldn't it be fun to view the phone records from a few years back, to see how many times Valerie conversed with Hillary Rodham?

The Nuisance Strikes Again

"AL-QAEDA’S leadership secretly directed the Islamic militants whose armed revolt at the Red Mosque in Islamabad ended last week with more than 100 deaths after it was stormed by the Pakistan army.

According to senior intelligence officials, the troops who finally took control discovered letters from Osama Bin Laden’s deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri. They were written to Abdul Rashid Ghazi and Abdul Aziz, the brothers who ran the mosque and adjacent madrasah.

Government sources said up to 18 foreign fighters - including Uzbeks, Egyptians and several Afghans - had arrived weeks before the final shootout and set up firing ranges to teach students, including children, how to handle weapons."

"Why Bush Will Be A Winner"

The impressive Mr. Kristol:
"George W. Bush's presidency will probably be a successful one.

Let's step back from the unnecessary mistakes and the self-inflicted wounds that have characterized the Bush administration. Let's look at the broad forest rather than the often unlovely trees. What do we see?

First, no second terrorist attack on U.S. soil - not something we could have taken for granted. Second, a strong economy - also something that wasn't inevitable.

And third, and most important, a war in Iraq that has been very difficult, but where - despite some confusion engendered by an almost meaningless "benchmark" report last week - we now seem to be on course to a successful outcome."

Smartest Woman On Earth?

The mighty IBD:
"Sen. Hillary Clinton's fans suggest that her brilliance outshines her character flaws. But if she's so smart, how did she flunk the D.C. bar exam, one of the easiest in the nation?

Voters have a right to ask. Clinton's camp may pooh-pooh the failure. But a new book profiling her life reveals that it was a big enough deal that she hid the embarrassment from even her closest friends for years.

From another biography, we also now learn that the esteemed senator failed to read the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq before she voted to authorize President Bush to use force in 2002. She now regrets the decision, claiming she was misled by faulty intelligence she never bothered to read.

Turns out Clinton had to be "briefed" by staffers on the details of one of the most important government reports ever printed. What, the smartest woman in the world couldn't scan a 90-page dossier? She had to get the Cliffs Notes?

These latest revelations make us wonder if Hillary Clinton's vaunted IQ isn't just another Clinton fabrication. Is this why she refuses to release her Wellesley and Yale transcripts?"

SURRENDER !

"A few hours after Bush's remarks, Democratic leaders engineered passage of legislation requiring the withdrawal of U.S. combat troops to begin within 120 days, and to be completed by April 1, 2008. The measure envisions a limited residual force to train Iraqis, protect U.S. assets and fight al-Qaida and other terrorists."

The Party preferred by Terrorists, Tyrants, Dictators, and Rosie strikes again.

Run Away !

What bribery did it take this time?

So why do they want to leave some small US presence to fight Al Qaeda?

When Nancy Pelosi says Iraq has nothing to do with the GWOT?

Osama must love the Democrat Party...

We know he misses the Clinton Presidency.

The DNC is simply a TITANIC of Deceit, trying to sink us all.

So are the Liberal Partisans in the MSM:
"The Media Lied - Iraq Did Meet Many Benchmarks"

And yet, this poster still encounters the jaded, who believe there is absolutely no difference between the Political Parties in the mighty USA.

They best wake up before 2008.

The Democrats are waving their White Flag again...

UGLY UPDATE:
"ABC's Jake Tapper on Thursday night raised the prediction “genocide” will result after a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, a forecast Tapper put to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at a Capitol Hill news conference: “Do you think the Iraqi people will be safer with U.S. troops out?” Reid didn't respond to the point, leading Tapper to retort in the exchange played on World News: “You didn't answer my question.” A perturbed Reid, presumably not used to challenging questions from the Washington press corps, chastised Tapper: “This isn't a debate. We're answering questions.” Tapper then repeated his question - “Will the Iraqis be safer?” - but Reid ignored him and moved on: “Anyone else have a question?”"

Stop The Partisan Presses !

Another corrupt Democrat exposed in a serious indictment:
"GRAND JURY INDICTS FORMER NEWARK MAYOR ON CORRUPTION CHARGES
By JANET FRANKSTON LORIN, Associated Press Writer

July 12, 2007 -- NEWARK -- A federal grand jury indicted former Newark Mayor Sharpe James on corruption charges Thursday, accusing him of fraud in the sale of city-owned land and using city-issued credit cards to spend extravagantly on himself and several women.

The 33-count indictment charges James with fraud for allegedly facilitating and approving the cut-rate sales of city-owned land to a female companion.

James, 71, is charged with using the credit cards for himself and eight women during vacations and trips to locations such as Puerto Rico, Martha's Vineyard, the Dominican Republic and Rio de Janeiro, U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie and state Attorney General Anne Milgram announced."

And another report failing to reference a Democrat's Party affiliation?

This has become a disease of the most unethical manner.

Hillary Rodham will probably demand James Sharpe be pardoned.

Or promise to sell him one, if Bill and Hillary return to the White House.

Thank You Mr. President

"When we start drawing down Our forces in Iraq it will be because Our Military Commanders say the conditions on the ground are right, not because pollsters say it will be good politics." - President GW Bush

The real amusing aspect?

Democrats like Hillary Rodham Clinton cannot decide what form of fraud to employ.

Those liars simply do not know what is considered 'good politics'.

Senator Rodham will say one thing, then the other, always spinning, forever changing, up, down, left, right, forward, backward, around and around.

The Big Picture

The mighty Mr. Peters:
This has been the Bush-Cheney War. But it will only be fair to call the carnage after we run away the "Reid-Pelosi Massacres."

Without Class

Time for a very large straight jacket.

Something Positive

Perhaps some good potential via Sweetness & Light:
'Investigator Says Drop Haditha Marine’s Charges'

Those supporting the Democrat Party will be upset.

But then again, when aren't they?

Just Another Enemy

"A Senate appropriations panel chaired by Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., refused to fund $4.8 million in the vice president's budget until Cheney's office complies with parts of an executive order governing its handling of classified information."

So nice to know, your fellow American in Washington is obsessed with self serving, fraudulent, debauched efforts for personal political gain.

Especially when your Country is at War, fighting for freedom...

The mighty Mr. Ruffini:
"Like Fitzmas, what we have here is punishment in search of a crime."

UH OH

The mighty NB...
Network Evening News Viewership Falls?
A 5.4% drop from a year ago?

The Rather Legacy continues...

Did the decline begin during the 8 years of Clinton Negligence?

Maybe it began the day Mr. Russert hijacked MTP...

The MSM has an old reputation for unethical manipulation.

But during the 1990's, attempting to spin the ugly malfeasance of one of the most corrupt US Presidential Administrations, the liberal bias reached incredible levels of distortion, deceit, and denial.

They have continued to set new unethical lows ever since...

Of course, the competition is fierce with Cable, Radio, and the Internet.

But when one loses all of their credibility, it is probably time for them to leave for a very long vacation.

THE CRACKED POT

Cranky, testy, and demented...
A Democratic Party blogger says he wants to shoot Rush Limbaugh and is calling for volunteers to assassinate rock star Ted Nugent, who champions the Second Amendment.

Hart Williams, a former writer for porn magazine Hustler and who now toils for the Democratic Daily, was waxing incoherent about a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed by Nugent, complaining that it was likely ghost-written.

"How we can remain 'civil' in the face of this is beyond my ken," wrote Williams. "I will only reiterate what I've said WHEN they manage to inevitably push their litany of hatespeak into actual bloodletting, and full-blown civil war (for there is no other place that this hatred of American against American can go), well...

...I've got dibs on Rush, as soon as it's legal and lawful to shoot him. Whoever wants Ted Nugent is welcome to him, but I would prefer that you would call it now, so as to conserve on ammunition. We will need to manage it prudently. But when the day comes that they have finally set brother against brother, and sister against sister in the name of their pocketbooks, I won't approach exterminating them with anything approaching remorse."

INTERESTING

"The election is a different question. First of all, you now know that there will be some discontent if she does get nominated within her own party, which was not foreseeable two years ago.

You may have a substantial group of people within that party unhappy with her. And she continues to be extremely polarizing. She doesn't test terribly well with centrists who think she's a liberal, with moderates who think she's a liberal, with independents who think she's a liberal, because they tilt conservative. She's very polarizing and thus very beatable.

She's energizing and maybe even motivating for Republicans. You don't get the kind of falloff in Republican turnout that should be expected when you look at the damage to the party brand name in the current marketplace.

Republicans are dispirited, very unhappy with their leadership and therefore not really energized to come out unless it's to stop Hillary, in which case they'll pour out.

She's the most beatable of the Democrats based on her polarizing nature. I don't know anybody who hates Barak Obama and he seems to be a lot more likable on the stump. He could be very tough in November." - Roger Stone

CLINTONIA

The comedy continues...
'Last week, Hillary seemed to be sending a message that she can't do it on her own, that her husband will be helping her make the decisions and that the "change" she wants is to restore both of them in the presidency.

Brazile, a Democrat who is tightly plugged into the party's base, thinks that kind of campaign would be the kiss of death for the Democrats in 2008. Obama thinks so, too.'

Cyber Jihad

From the mighty Sweetness & Light:
Moroccan-born Tsouli, 23, was jailed for 10 years; UAE-born Al-Daour, 21, received a six-and-a-half year sentence; and 24-year-old Mughal, who was born in Britain, was given seven-and-a-half years.

Sentencing them, judge Charles Openshaw said the men had engaged in “cyber jihad”, encouraging others to kill “kuffars” or non-believers.

Young Muslim Men working for more destruction?

What a surprise...

Do today's youthful Muslim Men have any interest in being benevolent, constructive, altruistic, positive, charitable, benign, humanitarian, salutary, philanthropic, merciful, life affirming?

The Comedy Continues

More of the same old deceit from the same old liars...

Via the mighty Captain:
"This commutation sends the clear signal that in this administration, cronyism and ideology trump competence and justice," said Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.

It was a brazen statement from a woman entangled in many Clinton White House scandals, including the final one: On his last day in office, President Clinton granted 140 pardons and 36 commutations, many of them controversial.

One of those pardoned was Marc Rich, who had fled the country after being indicted for tax evasion and whose wife had donated more than $1 million to Democratic causes.

Clinton's half brother, Roger, who was convicted of distributing cocaine and lobbied the White House on behalf of others, also received a pardon.

Hillary Clinton's brother, Hugh Rodham, was paid tens of thousands of dollars in his successful bid to win pardons for a businessman under investigation for money laundering and a commutation for a convicted drug trafficker. Her other brother, Tony, lobbied successfully for clemency on behalf of a couple convicted of bank fraud."

Hiding In A Burqa

The mighty Sweetness & LIght:
'Security forces besieging a radical mosque in the Pakistani capital captured its top cleric Wednesday as he tried to sneak out of the complex in a woman’s burqa, and more than 1,000 of his followers surrendered.'

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

UGLY

What sort of Nation would consider returning unethical negligence like the Clintons to the White House?

'As stabbing victim LaShanda Calloway lay dying on the floor of a convenience store, five shoppers, including one who stopped to take a picture of her with a cell phone, stepped over the woman, police said.'

Truly sad...

Good News

"KIDNAPPED BBC journalist Alan Johnston, held hostage for 114 days in the Gaza Strip, was freed early today."

This victim of the Army of Islam got lucky...

Thank You Mr. President

"I respect the jury's verdict," Bush said in a written statement. "But I have concluded that the prison sentence given to Mr. Libby is excessive. Therefore, I am commuting the portion of Mr. Libby's sentence that required him to spend 30 months in prison."

The mighty Powerline:
'In the Libby case, there are several factors that militated in favor of commuting the sentence (and made out an arguable, though less compelling, case for a pardon). The two most important factors are Libby's public service and the fact that, at the time Libby made the false statements in question, the prosecutor already knew the answer to the question he had come to Washington to investigate.

Indeed, it seems likely that but for the high profile and political context of the investigation, the prosecutor would not have asked Libby these questions. In addition, it may also be relevenat that Bill Clinton was never prosecuted for committing perjury with respect to matters where, unlike here, the facts were not yet known.'

The amazing Sweetness & Light has the Clinton record:

God Save The Queen

'British Prime Minister Gordon Brown proposed on Tuesday giving parliament the final word on going to war, saying he planned to relinquish a raft of powers traditionally held by the head of the government.'

What happened to the fine Bulldog?

Iran must be thrilled...

Even more...
Gordon Brown has banned ministers from using the word “Muslim” in ­connection with the ­terrorism crisis. The Prime Minister has also instructed his team – including new Home Secretary Jacqui Smith – that the phrase “war on ­terror” is to be dropped.
