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.
LOL
Poor Guennie, what next for you???
Well, don't worry too much just yet..."considering' is different from "doing".
Hang in there girlie.
(((Guen)))
You can't avoid her, but you can limit contact. And what your sister-in-law is doing is what Dr. Laura calls "everyday evil."
..but I think Chair's suggestion is a very good rebuttal, cause my sil thinks herself so sophisticated and always right...
..this response is a cleverly crafted cyber slap, IMO.
Somehow I feel better!
The real question is whether John F'in Kerry would continue to pursue a military solution, which leaves all options open, or whether he would seek a police solution, which forecloses a number of alternatives.
Maybe I was dreaming (or nightmaring, as the case may be), but I thought that F'in kerry had already stated that, if elected (or if he steals the election, whichever applies), he was going to go back to 'treating terrorism as a law enforcement problem'.
I continue to say that we are paying DEARLY for those 8 horrible years.; we are going to continue to pay DEARLY for those 8 horrible years. Even this very date, the administration is required to waste precious time defending itself from these vicious attacks, chock full of lies, from the left. bill clinton had no more business being president than I have doing brain surgery on Chairman. The people that foolishly put him there and demanded he stay there at all costs; those that want to put the absolutely disgusting F'in kerry in there, should have the good sense to never vote for president again. They have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Every member of the democrat party that is holding office should be either directly constitutionally removed from office or voted out of office, and the democrat party, at least, dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up, or, preferably completely abolished and replaced with another party, before the policies and people of the democrat party get this republic destroyed.
...LEADER OF HAMAS RETRACTS THREAT TO UNITED STATES AND AMERICAN TARGETS
[Sourced to Fox News]
And there are those who still don't think America's policy of pre-emptive targeting by America of our enemies doesn't pay dividends. Got to believe there were those in Hamas going "oh ship" [or something kind of like that when translated from Arabic] when their new leader said America was now a target.
No dream, you're exactly right.
I was implying that he should be tagged on this at each and every opportunity.
..but I still have a warm glow after sending my email a few minutes ago :))
It was the equivalent of a little powder puff marshmallow saying...
TAKE THAT!!!
.I have no siblings....there's just me :)
