Thanks for posting another brilliant piece by Mark Steyn, he says it like no one else.

Thanks Pokey

now the same people who claim Bush had no right to be "pre-emptive" about Iraq insist he should have been about September 11.

I'm afraid that I have to disagree with Steyn on this one.

The Dems have been constantly been hammering on Dubya in order to drive his negatives up.

They are currently above 40%, which is the danger zone for any politician seeking election, and significantly above Kerry's.

All this damage is cumulative, and the Dems aren't done — not by a long shot.

And the White House wouldn't be going to battle stations if they didn't consider the situation perilous.

This is even better than the hours I spent at the beach this afternoon. You are a tonic, Mr. Steyn.

Another super article by a super columnist.

What I would like to know is why Clinton was not drug through the mud regarding the Oklahoma City bombing? That happened on his watch. Shouldn't he have done more to prevent it? Okay that sounds ridiculous-just as ridiculous as those who are trying to pin 9-11 on President Bush.

LOL! I read the first few paragraphs and that was enough. I will definitely save this and print it out at work for my fellow conservatives.

Everytime the Dems manufacture a smear campaign against Bush it blows up in their face. I love it.

The best revenge against these backstabbing lying Bush haters will be a huge Bush win in Nov.
I really believe Iraq will continue on the right track, the economy will continue to improve and the jobs situation will pick up this year. That will be the bottom line in a Bush victory. Keep praying for him!

[cyncooper]

Spot on.

Bravo Mr. Steyn.

... the same people who claim Bush had no right to be "pre-emptive" about Iraq insist he should have been about September 11."

Somebody needs to say this on television for the survivor/American idol crowd.

Oh, forget it.

This guy is freaking brilliant!!! LMAO!

[nutmeg]

Brilliant article! This gives me hope after enduring several days of the libs high-fiving it over Clarke's "success".

ping!

Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.

As for Clarke's beef with Bush, that's simple. For eight years, he had pottered away on the terrorism brief undisturbed. The new President took it away from him

IIRC, he was screeching about an imminent "electronic Pearl Harbor" while still assigned to counter-terror. His reassignment to electronic doomsaying seemed at the time like something he had wanted all along.

But he was lousy at that too. He had no credibility then, and even less now.

>>>On the other hand, if you're one of those Michael Moore-type conspirazoids who wants to know why Bush let his cronies in the House of Saud and the bin Laden family sneak out of America on September 11, then Clarke's also your guy: he is the official who gave the go-ahead for the bigshot Saudis with the embarrassing surnames to be hustled out of the country before they could be questioned.
<<<<

OK, Here is a question. I haven't heard about this. Was it Clarke who gave the go ahead for the Bin Laden family members to leave via aircraft after 9/11? I have heard that he was the one who OK'd the bombing of the Aspirin factory in the Sudan in 1998.

I think it is rather amazing that this piece of excrement is going to make so much money from the fruits of his failures. His failures which have and continue to make our country more vulnerable to attacks from terrorists. What a jerk!

Can someone point me to a source on the above quote from Steyn?

[Freedom2specul8]

Important article to pass along..

[Gritty]

BTTT

[Kenny500c]

Clarke is your typical Log Cabin Republican - he voted for Al Gore.
