It's easy to see from this article why Mr. May is a former foreign correspondent for the New York Times. I don't imagine the editors at the NYT much apprechiated him spewing the truth all over the place.
Excellent response !
I've been reading the headline about "the brave 26" for about a month now on the AP stories menu-meaning they are doing their best to keep criticism of the present administration on the front burner-everywhere.
Cliff was having it out over the Al Queda/ Iraq tie with a mouthy lib on CNN, I believe after the Commission findings and distortions were printed.
It seems that any organization who uses "for Change" in their title is signalling their leftist orientation.
Good rebuttal to the list of 26.
"One has to suspect that what these people really want is a return to policies that did not ruffle feathers in parts of the world where they have friends and summer homes, parts of the world that have rarely made a stand against despots but do boast superior food and wine."
So why on earth does he say they are patriots? If they put the interests of other "parts of the world" over those of the United States, they may be soliders and they may be diplomats, but they sure are hell aren't patriots.
And, as May himself explains, it seems that what they are is a bunch of miserable failures. And let's remember, it is from these ranks that Kerry will staff his administration, should we all be so unlucky that he gets that chance.
Just the fact that Stansfield Turner is on the list means one has to read no further. The only dumber man in the Carter Administration was Carter himself. He was the Director who determined we no longer needed HUMINT collection and could rely on technical means. The CIA is only now recovering.
I've never seen the left go to such extremes to win an election. Well, actually, they did the same thing to Reagan. It's proof positive Bush is a strong leader, otherwise they wouldn't hate him so much.
As many of you know, I'm a serving Foreign Service officer. I disassociate myself completely from the position of the retired FSOs and generals quoted in the story. I can also tell you that, believe it or not, there are many of my colleagues who feel exactly as I do: that President Bush's bold anti-terrorism campaign is exactly what's needed. We're just thankful that Bush was president when 9/11 occurred.
So am I. I am comforted that you are representing the United States of America's interests!
I am glad you are supporting the WOT and President Bush as that is supporting my liberty and safety as well as that of my country's.
The US has to get tougher and less humane in dealing with the bad people. At the same time we have to be benevolent to the good, the poor, the oppressed especially where the bad people reign. We must be seen as liberators because we are!
The image of the US military must remain invincible as both a force and right down to the individual in uniform - a person of great strength, high morals, doing only good, destroying evil.
Diplomats must support America, not put it down. Any publicly disloyal statements must end the career, permanently. You can argue a position only until the decision is made, then you must support it. Project a united front for the United States.
FYI
We should have gone into Afghanistan after the first hit on US soil...The FIRST hit in 1993 on THE TWIN TOWERS.
We knew damn well who did it.
"The retired diplomats don’t explicitly endorse Kerry, but they do call for “the defeat of the administration,” which they apparently regard as a cleverly ambiguous turn of phrase. One has to suspect that what these people really want is a return to policies that did not ruffle feathers in parts of the world where they have friends and summer homes, parts of the world that have rarely made a stand against despots but do boast superior food and wine. "
The more equal animals squeal like stuck pigs. Poop on them and their self interests.
I think alot of the blame for today's terrorism can be laid at Jimmy Carter's feet for having shown weakness and ineptitude in Iran. This message wasn't missed by the Soviets who later launched thier adventure into Afghanistan. Carter's response? "We won't play in your olympics".
"We knew damn well who did it."
And Clinton never even came to NYC. But I blame the right wing too. We held Clinton's feet to the fire over the wrong things. I hope we don't make that mistake again. The roaring 90s, we were ALL at the party. That party ended 9-11-01. But the clean up is going to take a very long time.
Thanks for posting it!
Kattracks posted it...I saw you on that thread on this subject and thought you would enjoy it.
That old troll who posted the other thread got whacked/banned in about 15 minutes after I sent out the troll alert.
Any list with the traitor Stansfield Turner on the list, is a list of anti American Traitors.
I agree.
