We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail!
Good morning!! Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
Sorry for the lateness of the thread this morning. For awhile, FR did not seem it wanted to allow posting of articles to "General Interest."
The New York Times is at it again, trying to take down the President a notch or two. They ran a story saying Egypt's President Mubarrak told the United States that Al Qa'eda "was in the advance stages of executing a significant operation against an American target," leaving the insinuation the President knew enough about 9/11 to prevent it.
China's President Zemin will try and meet with the leaders of both India and Pakistan at the upcoming Asian Summit in an attempt to defuse the crisis in the region.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.
Post your short news items, issues of interest, links, and so on. All who advance the Cause are welcome.
LET'S ROLL!!!
Sorry.
Good morning Chair & all.:)
AMERICAS WAR ON TERROR Day 267
The news as reported in The Washington Times:
[Note All links go to The Washington Times website.]
1. Fears about racial profiling are hindering the FBIs ability to fight terrorism.
[UNFREEPINBELIEVABLE! We are either in a war for our Nations survival or we are not. This crap has got to end!]
Profiling worries called hindrance
2. Washington, DC, Mayor Williams stated that fixing the DMV overbilling problem is a higher priority than tracking down and reimbursing nearly $18 million in erroneous fines.
[At least these positions are consistent. Both strive to advance the Districts ability to hang on to money whether obtained legally or not.]
Williams presses 'forward' DMV fix
3. The Washington Times has been bringing us news and views for 20 years.
[At least one paper in Washington, DC, reports news.]
CELEBRATING 20 YEARS: The Washington Times
4. A Palestinian court ordered the release of a man that was made prisoner in the deal freeing Yassir Arafat; the ruling was then overruled by the Palestinian cabinet hours later.
[Yep, democracy is sure taking hold in that place.]
Palestinian Cabinet rejects order to free militant
5. Six of the men being held in a Palestinian jail as a result of the US-brokered deal with Israel weeks ago are being confined by the following: a few guards and a hedge.
[Maximum security Palestinian sytle.]
Security at a minimum for six men jailed under U.S.-brokered accord
6. The National Security Agency has started an ad campaign aimed at keeping soldiers quiet about military secrets.
[And the war is now how old? Nine months? Guess the policy came to full gestation; it should have been issued on DAY 1!]
7. Preliminary tests of sludge being dumped into the Potomac by the Army Corps of Engineers shows high levels of arsenic, lead, mercury, chromium, copper, zinc, nickel and selenium.
[Oh, wonderful. So EPA rules apply to everyone except the Government? Is that what this says?]
Tests show 8 metals in river dumping
8. Due in part to the ailing condition of domestic air carriers, the Administration is considering allowing a greater share of foreign ownership in American airlines.
[How will this play to National Security in the event troops have to be moved a la Desert Shield?]
U.S. eyes greater foreign stakes to help airlines
We shall not rest until we have cut a swath 60-miles wide through the entire left - taking all that is before us with us as we go. We shall leave nothing to the enemy that may be of value to him. We shall show him that he may count on nothing and will be able to keep nothing, not his spirit, not his soul, not that upon which he shall feed. We shall not cease until the moment we have rent through their entire land and have arrived at the sea, with our glorious victory upon us.

A Dave Barry gem: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We've just been advised that instead of Boston, we will be landing in Iran. We regret any incon..."
I can see it now... "Honey we'd better mow the grass, the terrorists are coming."
Good morning all!
Dreary day here in Wisconsin, with a flood watch for the southern part of the State.
Mozie... I see free is gone. Well... at least we don't have to worry about running into him on the highway!
sigh... is nothing sacred?
A whistle blowing FBI agent, who's a mother, is given great credibility in regards to her memo, but Linda Tripp, who is also a mother, was villified for her information that she presented.
Amazing...
James Riady has cornered the American beer market?
All is lost.
I prefer Anheuser-Busch and Coors anyway. 8^)
Still... A good Irish whiskey beats all.
Mozie, I was so happy to read the good news about hubby's medical tests yesterday. I'll bet that was a relief! As illstillbe said, now it's time for a whole long string of normal, uneventful days for you, I hope.
Nita, yippee, you're able to post from work again!
HOB, how was the whitewater rafting weekend? Was there enough excitement and adventure for you and Mr. HOB?
Molly and kayak, thinking of you two. Come home soon, Molly.
kayak, hope your headache is gone today. That was a great rant you had on yesterday's thread, well worth repeating here:
" ... here's what I know and I know it NOW!!!
..... that the liberals are quite evil .... and they are also quite sneaky ..... and they have figured out that you stand a better chance of conquering a group if you can divide it into factions and pick them off one by one.
And that's what they are doing ...... creating a tiny bit of doubt here and just a smidgen of doubt there ..... and then saying Voila! ..... look what a bad guy we have in the White House now.
I am totally STUNNED by the number of people who are falling for this ..... people who used to deride certain publications are now falling all over themselves to believe each and every word those same publications choose to throw out there. People who used to demand sources are now taking at face value every thing that they hear .... and are not even noticing the sources. People who used to think are now acting like sheeple!"
Echoing your comments here, kay, especially since they go so well with what gulfcoast6 posted this morning.
NY and ABG, good morning!
Lots of fussing about the environmental report, all of whiich is silly. There is no policy change, and the statistics on the NOAA site indicate warming is occurring, although we do not know why. I have been spending a lot of time trying to read a variety of scientific sites to try and see which places have correct data and which have skewed data for an agenda. I am sorry to say that this is very difficult, because BOTH sides of this controversy are picking and choosing data to suit their agendas.
Frankly, I am not even sure about the NOAA site, because they use tree-ring data as a factor, and other sources discount the use of tree rings. Yikes!
Anyway, I am determined to make an intelligent decision about this controversy rather than being stampeded one way or the other.
There is a great danger in taking a scientific position based on politics...if you are proven to be wrong scientifically, then your politics goes down the tube as well.
I think I set this up well.
This is a short week for me - only three days.
Next week is a full five-day effort, so I kind of get to ease back into things.
