America is at war.

We are at war against the network of international terrorists who committed the mass murders of 9/11. We are at war against the survivors of Saddam Hussein's regime, and against the remnants of the Taliban in Afghanistan. Americans have died, and continue to die in this struggle.

The leadership of the Democratic Party is also at war.

However, their war is against President George W. Bush. And this war is the highest priority of Democratic decision-makers -- even within the traditionally nonpartisan Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

On November 5, 2003, Americans were given an unprecedented look inside the Democrats' war, when Fox News published an astoundingly revealing memorandum from within the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, describing how Democrats on the Committee intend to use their positions, influence, and access to information - not to help win the war on terror, or to protect American citizens - but to undermine the Bush Administration. The memo describes their agreement to launch an "independent investigation" as a means to that end, timed to coincide with the 2004 presidential campaign.

The purpose of a real investigation, of course, is to gather information, analyze it, and arrive at a conclusion. But the memo makes it clear that the Democrats on the Intelligence Committee have already reached their conclusions. This "investigation" is a sham, intended purely to support and publicize their political agenda.

By signing onto this scheme, the Democratic members of the Senate Committee on Intelligence have abused their positions, undercut American troops and agents in the field, and violated their oaths of office.

This must not stand.

I thought he already announced he's stepping down!

[Chad Fairbanks]

Where did you hear that????

Which party can be trusted with America's national security?

Democrats 2578 (37.50%)
Republicans 3902 (56.76%)
Libertarians 78 (1.13%)
Greens 157 (2.28%)
None of the Above 160 (2.33%)

There are people who actually think the Greens can be trusted to handle our national security? I guess what they mean to say is, there is no need for national security.

That pretty much goes for the Libertarians, too.

I think the important point ultimately (and politically) is whether or not there were good reasons to invade Iraq (WMD and terrorist support).

1. If there were, and Democrats knew it, then they are traitors, selling out their country with deliberate lies for personal political gain.

2. If there really were not good reasons, then the Bush administration either lied or erred, and Democrats would be doing a service to our system of Government by exposing it (and partisanship can be forgiven - it would even be a virtue).

Hopefully, as information is learned, it will be included, to inform this essential National Security issue that the voters will consider. This is the real center of gravity.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Scary ain't it?

[Chad Fairbanks]

I don't thinkm at this point, that there is any doubt that the invasion of Iraq had to be done.

In fact, I think we did it a decade too late :(

You and I have no doubt that Sadaam needed to go, to preserve the lives of innocent Americans. Many senior Democrats however, have bet the farm (politically) on convincing enough of the public that this is not the case.

They are pouring their resources into making folks think that:

a. Saddam had no WMDs

b. He was not supporting al Queda.

If it can be shown that they knew that this threat was real against Americans, and they knowingly lied about it for political gain (aiding and abbetting the enemy in the process) then they will be well and truly screwed come election time.

The fact that they were being partisan will mostly inflame partisans of the other party, its just a minor irritation to the middle-of-the-road folks, who generalize that "all politicians are that way". What will really reasonate is who was actually lying to the public (playing us for fools). It will be worse for Democrats if they are caught, because it will have been life-threatening treason, as opposed to just butt-covering or manipulation.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Which is why it is so very important to get MemoGate out into the public. It won't be easy, as the media will cover for the rats every chance they get. Only with enough outrage among those in power in DC, will the media no longer be able to ignore it...

And to get that outrage, we have to find ways to get the populace outraged.

Shouldn't we also call on Sandra Day O'Connor to resign for saying that she considered current European policies as important in determing the constiutionality and suitability of law today as she regards the U.S. Constitution?

Feel free :0)
