March 12, 2004 -- GO ahead, you deluded or dishonest folks who claim George W. Bush has no business discussing or showing the 2001 attacks on America in his advertising.

Go right ahead with your coordinated, contemptuous complaining - paid for in part by foundations and organizations lubricated by Mrs. John Kerry's ketchup-drenched dollars.

I spent almost all night arguing with a Blame America firster....she said it's America's fault that this happened. She is a pacifist and is outraged at my "hatred" for Muslims. Well I told her...that I hate Islamic terrorism, but she would hear none of it. She is a brainwashed pacifist.

The more I hear about these pathetic Islamic thugs, the more resolved I am.

[AmericaUnited]

Islamic terrorists must be hunted down and killed with extreme prejudice. Every single one of them!

Exterminated like the varmits they are works for me!

contrast the above with NY Daily News Ariana editorial..

President Bush keeps driving the liberals insane and Al Qaeda reminds the Democrats treating terrorism as a law enforcement problem won't stop them. The terror attack in Madrid has brought the War On Terror and 9/11 squarely back into the presidential race. And John F. Kerry has no strategy for dealing with it - President Bush does. Perhaps when historians look back and try to determine a defining moment when President Bush was set to be re-elected. 3/11/2004 could well be that date.

Ask her how SHE thinks she would look in a Bhurka, or serving her master through a veil. Show her the film of women in Afghanistan being shot for speaking in public.

Maybe she needs a trip to Iran for good measure. These "people are truly pathetic. I admire your fortitude in arguing with a brainless wimp!

Kerry's claim that Bush is "stonewalling" the 9/11 commission was parroted by several of the victims' family members as they criticized the Bush commercials last week in language so eerily similar in every instance that it was clear they were speaking from the same sheet of talking points. This is nothing less than an effort to insinuate that Bush bears responsibility for the 9/11 attacks and is trying to evade the blame that is rightfully his. This is - there is no other word for it - an obscene insinuation.

Once decent Democrats, if any are left, learn who their candidate is, Kerry will be in trouble. He should implode just as Dean's nastiness sunk his ship despite oodles of cash. The record low turnouts in primaries to anoint Kerry are telltale.

Spain is just two days away from elections. That country's brave and principled prime minister, Jose Maria Aznar, is not his party's candidate. Nonetheless, his decision to stand by America's side in the War on Terror may have played a role in yesterday's bombing.

The next time somebody refers to the war in Iraq as an act of American unilateralism, I hope somebody shoves a photo of a dead body in the Madrid train station under his nose and demands he apologize to the Spanish dead and wounded.

This means you, John Kerry.

....So many people have forgotten this that it's probably wise to remind them: The only people who are to blame for committing terrorist acts are terrorists.

President Bush Condems Terrorist Attack in Madrid, 3/11/04 Today I spoke to His Majesty the King of Spain -- Jose Maria Aznar, as well -- about our country's deepest sympathies toward those who lost their life as a result of terrorist bombings in Spain. I told him we weep with the families. We stand strongly with the people of Spain. I appreciate so very much the Spanish government's fight against terror, their resolute stand against terrorist organizations like the ETA. The United States stands with them. Today we ask God's blessings on those who suffer in the great country of Spain.      Statement by Secretary of State Colin Powell, March 11, 2004 Statement by Ambassador George L.

Islamic terroris must be hunted down and killed


Who could possibly disagree with this? (besides John Kerry and his ilk)


The left in this country seems to be very serious about destroying us from the inside first.

I was looking at your list of statements and realized I have not heard any statements by a Democrat. What have they said? Appears they just want it to go away.

[Kaslin]

John Podhoretz hit the nail square on the head!

Jose Maria Aznar was not among the hallucinated foreign leaders urging Jean-Fraud Karis to run.
