AMERICA - The Right Way!! (Day 1159) [Remember the Trade Center!!]
Various News Sources and FReepers | March 24, 2004 | All of Us

Posted on 03/24/2004 4:41:00 AM PST by Chairman_December_19th_Society

America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our country!

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!!

Well, Madame Nottobright (Mrs. Albright for the uninitiated) still defends the UOx42 record as it regards terrorists. In her written remarks to the 9/11 Commission (note, she didn't say this, so it wouldn't have been caught in a sound bite--how convenient!), Ms. Nottobright said: "It is possible and perhaps probable that anger over these detentions [in Guantanamo] has helped (Osama) bin Laden succeed in recruiting more new operatives." Sec'y Powell, in his turn, noted the UOx42 Administration turned over nothing operational regarding The Evil One, but "they gave a good briefing."

But all of this conviniently misses the point. It is far less relevant, probably irrelevent, what happened in the period preceding 8:47 EDT on September 11, 2001, than as to what has occurred since that point in time.

Let's contrast, shall we?

Madame Nottobright suggests the UOx42 Administration had a robust effort against the terrorists. Great. Let's assume for sake of argument that is indeed true (never mind that requires setting aside the USS Cole and Kolbart Towers incidents). What relevance does that have to TODAY's War on Terror? How is any of that helping TODAY to catch Osama bin Laden? Has all the rhetoric from the Clintonistas helped put one bad guy in jail or wiped from the face of the Earth?

No. What we are treated to instead is a cacaphony of things such as what was in Nottobright's written testimony, which basically boils down to the current War on Terror is screwed up because it puts bad guys out of commission which will offend other bad guys.

What appeasatory crap. And the stench is so putrid, it is nauseating.

Indeed, the Clintonitas have, at every turn, suggested that America mortgage her security to the "greater world order." It has been suggested that before we conduct activities that are in our best security interests, that we seek a permission slip from Europe, the UN, and, apparently, the terrorists themselves ("you won't get mad if we do this, will you?")

That one statement indicates that everything else that might have been said by UOx42 and his minions are just that, mere words. That, however, has been their stock in trade: don't judge us by our actions, judge us by our stated intentions. That was their rhetoric before 8:47 EDT on September 11, 2001; it is their rhetoric today.

On the other hand, President Bush can certainly be faulted for not doing more against the terrorists September 10, 2001, and earlier. But that is a cheap shot. The biggest concerns in the country were not buildings failing down, potential radiological bombs going off, and terror seeking its way into America's cities and streets. Nope. It was the economy, stupid. Yes, folks were more worried about their personal finanical security than in the national physical security. Just imagine the hew and cry that would have gone up if dollars had been diverted from domestic programs.

But since 8:47 EST on September 11, that is the measure that needs to be taken of President Bush. And what a measure: Afghanistan freed; Iraq freed; hundreds of hard core terrorists on ice in Guantanamo, no threat to anyone; dozens of key Al Qa'eda leadership no longer in working order (i.e., dead); a proven capability to take out any threat, anywhere, at any time (recall the missile attack in Yemen that left only ashes as the trace of the former terrorists).

One side likes to talk. One side likes to act.

Talk is for the people still living in the September 10, 2001, world.

Action is for the people living in the September 12, 2001, world.

President Bush and this Administration live in the September 12, 2001, world.

Let's remain with that leadership.

For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

How about you email her back and tell her that you're sorry she is so ill informed, and that since you don't agree on things political, you see no purpose in exchanging political emails.

Guennie, stay strong. This needs to brought to an end.

My suggestion... I would put the ball in her court.

Tell her that you will gladly correspond with her IF and only IF she stops. Tell her if you get another Bush bashing e-mail she can expect you to delete and block her mail.

Case closed!! I am so sick of these types of people.

She knows you are vulnerable and yet she does this. Unbelieveable!!

Collect your facts, ask for our input, and then fire at will. You could also send us the e-mail and freep mail her e-mail to us. She would be hit the facts everyday of her life.

Getting ready to leave in a sec, but amazing you mentioned China.

Bill Gertz wrote a great book about China and the threat he feels they will pose in the next 10 years.

Also, on 9/11, I was home alone as my husband was poll managing that day until 7:00 p.m.

My first thought was that China was attacking us. Looking back, I can't believe I was that ignorant, but that's who I thought was behind the coordinated attacks.

Think about it Guennie. ((hugs))

Liberals are soooo pig-headed. You could refute her mail point by point, but I don't think you can change her mind. However, she needs to know that you are way better informed than she. That will drive her nutz. Would it be better to tell her that, in no uncertain terms and then....... ignore her political communication from then on?
