AMERICA'S ELITE HURTING NATION'S RESOLVE IN IRAQ (MUST READ)

He has it exactly right. It's truly a "must read" article and e-mail it to all your friends.

"Sanctimonious expressions by the political and media elite serve neither the cause of justice nor the cause of truth.

....

In Iraq, hearts and minds follow good arms. So long as the US is victorious and demonstrates strength, the Iraqi people will give the coalition its tacit, perhaps over time even its open, support.

However, should the US appear weak, confused, indecisive or lacking control, should battlefield victories be shrouded by the politics of the home front, Iraq will certainly become a quagmire for the Iraqi people and for America."

The media has one goal - to make Bush lose the election in 2004. If that means giving aid and comfort to those we are fighting in Iraq, so be it. This is unprecedented.

Even in Vietnam the press wasn't so uniformly aiding the communists, and even then it was years into the conflict before the Left actually starting aiding the enemy.

It is time to level charges against those engaged in treason. I would suggest starting with the Boston Globe that knowningly published fake atrocity pictures.

If we do not respond to this unprecedented action on the part of the press with serious action of our own - we will lose, and all those Americans in Iraq will have fought and died for nothing more then the press's goal of defeating George Bush.

Holy Cow, didn't know there were any right thinking people at Claremont!

Who are you going to put them in front of, liberal activist judges?

Can you please bump the high volume lists? This is a MUST read!

I used to think that the 'media elite' and the left were so determined to destroy Bush and all conservative power that they might unwittingly, unintentionally cause America to slip from its position as a superpower.

Now I think it's deliberate. The left, MoveOn, DU, al Qaeda, the 'Arab street', the EU, frustrated perverts, Soros, Pelosi, Kennedy, Hollywood brats, the list goes on and on.

The entire anti-universe is forming an alliance against us. The objective: Rome must fall. We've been designated the Romans.

I am willing to bet that as we speak money from Saudi Arabia and China is winding its way into Kerry's campaign funds.

[skeeter]

Now I think it's deliberate.

Of course its deliberate. First, in the mind of a liberal, America's defeat is a moral imperative.

Second, after Vietnam the Left enjoyed unprecedented power in this country - that disaster worked out so well for them you know they can't wait to repeat it.

It is worth noting that the Straits Times is published in Singapore, an island of secularists, Buddhists and Christians literally surrounded by the Muslim states of Indonesia and Malaysia.
Singapore and its predominantly Chinese population may be the next big target of Islamofascist expansionism.

Excellent column. Here's someone in the media who really "gets" it.

"Members of the elite have made up their minds: President George W. Bush, whose resolve is the backbone of America's determination to win in Iraq, must go. "

Here is the crux of it--and most do not care if it means loss of life, at home and abroad. They don't even try to hide the fact that this is their ultimate goal.

Excellent post. The author really illustrates just what it means to be a patriot and to be a traitor. Let there be no mistake who is who. It's long since time that we start exposing the rats for what they are, traitors in time of war. It takes sheer nerve to endanger our troops, our kids, when they are dodging grenades in 100 degree plus heat with a half day off a week if they are lucky. Let's expose the rats for what they are,traitors.

I'm printing a hard copy on this one.

I love your tag line.

re: "Even in Vietnam the press wasn't so uniformly aiding the communists, and even then it was years into the conflict before the Left actually starting aiding the enemy."

The press is like a virus that has adapted to learn from its experiences. The several years it took to spool up unhappiness in the world was a learning experience. They know now what works, and they haven't had to pussy foot around figuring out how to go about their foul deeds. What we are seeing is a whole lot more than simply a misguided press full of liberals, it's an all out campaign to impugn the president and the war. They have become quite bold in their actions, having never been called to account for their near treason. They learned from Viet Nam that it doesn't matter how big a lie you tell, or how you misuse your position as a 'journalist' there is, as Al Gore to succinctly put it, "no controlling legal authority." At some point they will cross a line and it will be apparent to most Americans just how greasiness they have been.

Here's my message to all the employees of our local news paper.....

The Kingsport Times news is complicit in the traitorous actions of the Associated Press to force the antiwar bias and propaganda into the homes of America to gain a political advantage.

The leftwing Associated Press daily provides aid and comfort to America’s enemies in the war by focusing only on news considered harmful to the war effort and by carefully hiding news of any events in Iraq it finds harmful to the doom and gloom antiwar agenda. The AP is the enemy of the American cause of peace and freedom.

By publishing the unedited AP propaganda and by refusing to find and publish accounts by sources devoid of antiwar sentiments, the Kingsport Times News has degenerated into a propaganda tool of those who oppose the war against terrorism.

Employees of the Times News should be ashamed of their part in killing American Soldiers in Iraq. As purveyors of antiwar propaganda and by encouraging America’s enemies to kill Americans, the Times News and those associated with it have blood of brave American troops on their hands.

Bad news sells papers while selling America out.


The antiwar media have the blood of American soldiers on their hands. Aid and comfort to the enemy is no different from providing guns and bullets. An AP article kills just like an RPG.

[Mister Baredog]

At some point they will cross a line and it will be apparent to most Americans just how greasiness they have been.

Fortunately WE have talk radio, Fox News, and Free Republic. Bush has $77 million, and his "rich friends" are now gearing up to combat the libs "rich friends". Looks like a fight to the finish.

Just remember one of Bush's greatest assets is their misunderestimation of him.

[wattsup]

Why would anybody in their right mind want to vote for a party that wants the worst to happen to the US just to spite President Bush.

[Middle Man]

"The media has one goal - to make Bush lose the election in 2004."

Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Bremer et al., are hurting his reelection chances quite well without any outside help. Although it is like the "media" are standing by with cans of gasoline to hand to the Bush administration as it tries desperately to put out the latest fires.

[monkeywrench]

Nobody "in their right mind" would.
