The Bush Doctine is built on two pillars, one -- that the United States must maintain its absolute military superiority in every part of the world, and second -- that the United States has the right for preemptive action.
Now, both these propositions, taken on their own, are quite valid propositions, but if you put them together, they establish two kinds of sovereignty in the world, the sovereignty of the United States, which is inviolate, not subject to any international constraints, and the rest of the world, which is subject to the Bush Doctrine.
To me, it is reminiscent to [sic] George Orwell's "Animal Farm," that "All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
George Soros

eorge Soros could not have more clearly enunciated the lethal danger that he and John Kerry and the clintons and the rest of his leftist cabal pose for America.

Yesterday, at the "progressive," i.e., ultra-extremist left-wing liberal, "Take Back America" confab, Mr. Soros confirmed the obvious: 9/11 was dispositive for the Dems; that is, 9/11 accelerated what eight years of the clintons had set into motion, namely, the demise of a Democratic party that is increasingly irrelevant, unflinchingly corrupt, unwaveringly self-serving, chronically moribund and above all, lethally, seditiously dangerous.

"All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Apparently missing the irony, George Soros chastised America with these words even as he was trying his $25,000,000, 527-end-run damnedest to render himself "more equal than others" in order to foist his radical, paranoic, deadly dementia on an entire nation.

"Animal Farm" is George Orwell's satirical allegory of the Russian Revolution; but it could just as easily be the story of the Democratic Party of today, with the

Kennedy-Pelosi-Gore-clinton (either--"one for the price of two," I say) -Sulzberger-Soros-Moore construct

its porcine manifestation.

GEORGE TSURIS

Soros' little speech reveals everything we need to know about the Left, to wit:

its naivete about the War on Terror,
its preference for demagoguery over rational argument, and ideology and reacquisition of power over national security,
its mindset, which is inextricably bound to its failed, tortuous, reckless schemes, relics of a different time, a different war and a different enemy.

Soros is correct when he states that each of the two pillars of the Bush Doctine--the United States maintenance of absolute military superiority and the United States right of preemptive action--are "valid propositions" [in a post-9/11 world].

But when he proceeds from there to argue that the validity of each of these two [essential] pillars is somehow nullified by the resultant unequalled power that these two pillars, when taken together, vest in the United States, rational thought and national-security primacy give way to dogmatic Leftist neo-neoliberal ideology.

What is, in fact, "inviolate" here is the neo-neoliberal doctrine of U.S. sovereignty, which states simply that there must be none, that we must yield our sovereignty to the United Nations. Because this Leftist tenet is inviolate, and because it is the antithesis of the concept of U.S. sovereignty enunciated by the Bush Doctrine and the concept of U.S. sovereignty required by the War on Terror, rabid Leftists like Soros conclude that we must trash the latter two inconvenient concepts--even if critical to the survival of our country.

It is precisely here where Soros and the Left fail utterly to understand the War on Terror. They cannot see beyond their own ideology and lust for power. They have become a danger to this country no less lethal than the terrorists they aid and abet.

I think this administration has the right strategic vision and has taken many of the steps needed to get that long-term strategy rolling.
Where I give them the failing grade is in explaining that vision to the American public and the world. Key example: this White House enshrines preemptive war in the latest National Security Strategy and that scares the hell out of a lot of Americans, not to mention our allies. Why? This administration fails to distinguish sufficiently under what conditions that strategy makes reasonable sense.
My point is this: when you are explicit about the world being divided into globalization's Core and Gap, you can distinguish between the different security rule sets at work in each.
Nothing has changed about strategic deterrence or the concept of mutual-assured destruction (or MAD) within the Core, so fears about preemptive wars triggering World War III are misplaced.
When this administration talks about preemption, they're talking strictly about the Gap - not the Core. The strategic stability that defines the Core is not altered one whit by this new strategy, because preemption is all about striking first against actors or states you believe - quite reasonably - are undeterrable in the normal sense.

I'm a single-issue voter, as I guess must have become apparent.
I'm not a Republican. I'm not a conservative. I'm not a very great admirer of the president in many ways, but I think that my condition is... that this is an administration that wakes up every morning wondering how to make life hard for the forces of Jihad and how to make as hard as possible an unapologetic defense of civilization against this kind of barbarism... and though the Bush administration has been rife with disappointment on this and incompetent, I nonetheless feel that they have some sense of that spirit.

I don't get that... I don't get that feeling from anyone who even sought the Democratic nomination.

I would [therefore] have to vote for the reelection of President Bush.

SHEEEESH, where's the love, fellow FReeper?! Is this the first time you've seen Mia T's work?! If you haven't noticed, she continues to shed light on many issues using an ever-expanding skill-set to dramatize her work. Many of us love her creativity and I--for one--often find myself emailing a link to her work to friends and family. IMHO, Mia's work is a definite bonus for FR.com, and I can't understand why folks like you would jump in and trash it as "a self-promoting vanity." It seems rather small-minded of you.

Nonsense...perhaps MiaT's work ain't yer cup of tea, but FR.com's got plenty of threads out there that I'm sure are. I simply don't see what benefit you derive from trashing her thread...this is an amazing amount of work, and I'm personally in awe of some of the skills MiaT's developed over the years and look forward to new tricks I'm sure she'll learn in the future.

"Other 'activists' on this site try to post the news using the written word as the focus."

That's been my bailiwick as well, but it doesn't keep me from being impressed by MiaT's creativity. Could it be that you've developed some sense of HTML-envy?! (LOL...just kidding)

OK, I accept that. I'm nearly incredulous that anybody could be here that long without seeing a Mia T thread, but I accept that it's happened to you.

What did Terry McAuliffe know and when did he know it?

by Screaming Eagle Red Leg

Concerning the scandal surrounding CBS's use of forged documents, the way the matter unfolded leads me to the clear conclusion that DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe was either involved in the fraud, or, at the very least, knew about the fraud prior to CBS airing its hit piece.

Consider:

The CBS broadcast was on Wednesday, September 8, 2004. On Friday, September 10, 2004, the Washington Times quoted McAuliffe as denying all involvement in the forging and leaking of the memos to CBS. McAuliffe went on to state, concerning the forged memos, that: quote:

"If I were an aspiring young journalist, I think I would ask Karl Rove that question."

http://www.washingtontimes.com/nati...11417-2610r.htm

As McAuliffe's pointing a finger at Rove was reported in the September 10, 2004, edition of the Washington Times, this means his comments came no later than Thursday, September 9, 2004, just one day after CBS's broadcast. Does that make sense to anyone?

The first allegations that the documents were fakes came from conservative Internet sites, specifically a poster on Free Republic. As of Thursday, September 9th, the rumors that the documents were fakes were just that - rumors. Yet, McAuliffe's response, in my opinion, was an acknowledgement that the documents were fakes. What would you expect a major party chairman to say under these circumstances.

I would think that a dignified person would say something to the effect of, "I saw the CBS broadcast and found it very interesting. As to the authenticity of the documents, I trust that CBS did a thorough investigation into them before their broadcast. I would assume that CBS will defend their reporting." Now, for McAuliffe, I would expect a response to the effect of, "These rumors come from rightwing nut balls on the Internet and I will trust the credibility of a great institution such as CBS over these nut balls any day!" Yet, McAuliffe's response was, keeping the timing in mind, in my opinion an acknowledgment that he knew the documents were fakes. What if the documents had ultimately proved to be real? McAuliffe's pointing a finger at Rove would have looked incredibly silly.

McAuliffe, in my opinion, knew that the documents were fakes when he made his finger-pointing comments at Rove. And, the only way that McAuliffe could know so early on that the documents were fakes would be if he was either involved with the manufacturing and leaking of the documents to CBS, or if he at least had knowledge that the documents were fakes prior to CBS airing them.

Thoughts?
