Well .. I think it was a setup!

The dem leadership didn’t want to vote for ANYTHING-BUSH! So to protect their status with the KOOKS - they voted against it .. knowing full well that 17 dems would vote for it. Therefore, if another attack happens on their watch, they can PRETEND they supported the intelligence bill.

THE DEMS NEVER DO ANYTHING - ANYTHING! - THAT IS NOT METERED TO GAIN THEM VOTES.

Excellent .....Loveit!!!!

For some heavy read....

Terrorists in Their Own Words -(A compilation drawn from translations ......)

********************Intro***************

Islamist terrorists have long been at war with the United States and frequently have proclaimed their determination to win the war. In fact, they see their enemies' unwillingness to acknowledge this war as an act of cowardice. If their enemies refuse to wear the mantle of warrior, terrorists assume that they are weak, lacking in honor, and spiritually infe­rior—and the notion that their enemy is vulnerable emboldens them. Failing to acknowledge that we are at war only encourages the enemy to be more warlike.

Conclusive proof that terrorists are at war with us requires little more than reading their own words. A compilation drawn from translations of a number of authoritative sources illustrates the nature of the challenge that America and its allies face and what needs to be done to combat it.

Fascinating Analysis of Leftist Goals, August 13, 2006

Reviewer: N. Sincerity - See all my reviews

A former 1960s radical, Horowitz is well-acquainted with the Leftist mindset. In this book, he strives to explain the modern alliance between left wing progressivists and radical Islamofascists. He argues that this alliance is based on a common desire to destroy Western capitalism. Leftist sympathy with Islamofascist ideas makes no sense from an intellectual point of view, given that countries ruled by radical Islamists are among the most racist, sexist, theocratic states in the world today. However, Leftists have recognized that they can benefit politically from destructive terrorist attacks on the Western world. A West under attack can be made to turn on its leaders in fear and desperation (as they did in Spain after the Madrid train bombings). Only once people reject current government structures can the Left execute its anti-capitalist revolution and build a new reality that mirrors the Leftist view of utopia.

The complete and utter idealogical hypocrisy of the Islamofascist-Leftist alliance is distressing, but as Horowitz reminds us,

Leftists radicals truly believe the ends justify the means.

I agree. Gore could win this election. He is more or less in the same poistion that Nixon was in 1968 with respect to the party. He is just as liberal as Hillary but doesn’t have her negatives.

Clintonista Congressman Rahm Emanuel was on TV attacking the bill as giving too much power to Gonzalez. Most of the ‘Rats are more concerned with their obsessive hatred of Bush than they are with national security. I’m afraid some would welcome a terrorist attack, if the death toll was not too high and if it could be used to ensure a Democratic victory in the 2008 Presidential election.

Couldn’t agree more!
