Gee, I sometimes get the feeling that the Democrats are working with al Qaeda to throw the election.

I'm not sure why...

[johniegrad]

I'm John Kerry and Sandy Berger approved this speech.

[Logical me]

Wait a minute. Just who is running the Country, the 9/11 commission or the President with the advice of the Congress. The 9/11 should be disbanded immediately. A vote should be placed in the House and Senate to disband and those who voted against disbanding, names should be published.

From many of the speeches last nite, it seems the Dems are trying to remake themselves into the War Party---at least for PR and election purposes.

I thought interesting how much Hillary harped on military related matters in a very supportive way (at least for the speech). This, considering her treatment and attitude toward military when she resided in the White House; treating military guards more as servants, etc.

The whole tone of the speeches were centrist to conservative. They seemed to be trying to tell America that they are actually to the 'right' of GWBush.

Will the public starts buying that lie?

The one major significant consideration for this next election, in addition to the WoT, is the selection of Supreme Court Justices. The next President, Kerry or Bush, will probably appoint at least 2 and possibly 3 SCJ's, including the next Chief Justice.

Here is a great search engine for the 9/11 Commission's Final Report. It is speedy and detailed. Go to my anti-Hillary web site and click on the banner at the top of the page.

" We have the strength as a nation to do what must be done."

Unless of course it means actually fighting a war or, gawd forbid, racial profiling against Muslims. And oh, of course we need the approval of the UN and France.

Oh and of Germany.

Oh, I forgot..............Russia.

Damn.............. China and Begium. Yes unless Belgium is with us, well we should not go there.

Oh, and of course when I say we have the strength to do what we must do, we will follow the guidelines of the Geneva Convention in my administration.

I mean no panties and Dog collars, that sort of stuff is reserved for fun and games between a consenting adult and his Dominatrix, right Ted?

Colin Powell quote...
When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by
the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example
of empire building by George Bush.
He answered by saying that, "Over the years, the United States has sent
many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for
freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked
for in return is enough to bury those that did not return."
It became very quiet in the room.

Peddling and back peddling is something America can't afford Good job by Kerry, he's got the issue covered on both sides again. Note the bicycle mention for all of the Lance fans...

[tirednvirginia]

What's the rush implementing these recomendations? I distinctly heard Kerry say the threat of terrorism has been overhyped. I'm just waiting for the sound byte of this answer he gave in the debates before his nomination to be played.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

And since all these recommendations are the responsibility of the Congress, one might wonder why Mr. Kerry hasn't been in Washington working!?

Peddling and back peddling is something America can't afford.

Does Kerry mean that being a peddler is Un-American?

The verb ""peddle" has 1 sense in WordNet.

1. peddle, monger, huckster, hawk, vend, pitch -- (sell or offer for sale from place to place)

[syriacus]

Note the bicycle mention for all of the Lance fans...

Except he mistook peddle for pedal

pedal

John Kerry called for extending the role of the 9/11 Commission today

You're exactly right.

The National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States (known as the 9-11 Commission) was created by Public Law 107-306, signed by the President on November 27, 2002. P.L. 107-306 originally required the Commission to report to the President and Congress 18 months after enactment, or no later than May 27, 2004. Recently Congress passed and the President signed legislation which extends the reporting deadline by two months, to July 26, and the termination date by 30 days, to August 26. This additional time will allow the Commission to fulfill its mandate.

[gov_bean_ counter]

One day after Bush says he will accelerate implementation of these recommendations via executive order, Kerry says the president should use his power of executive order to implement the recommendations.

You couldn't make this stuff up if you tried.
