HEAR THE FIRST VEEP DEBATE NOW! (the whole ball of wax)
|
The above exchange between Kerry and Sawyer, surreal on its face, depicts a candidate who is not simply confusing, (or as Kerry, himself prefers to characterize it, complex).
This is a candidate who is profoundly confused. He is tangled in a web of his own making, a web of arrogance, egomania, opportunism and deceit.
And, dare I say, a web of tangled neurons? If Kerry is not cognitively and psychologically impaired, he is doing a heck of a good imitation of someone who is.
BACK TO THE FUTURE
The most obvious problem with John Kerry's argument is that it is fallacious. Mr. Kerry engages in ex post facto reasoning when he argues, "We should not have gone to war, knowing the information we know today.... I would not have gone to war knowing there was no imminent threat, weapons of mass destruction, there was no connection with al Qaeda and to Saddam Hussein."
As if the commander-in-chief enjoys the luxury of retroactive decision-making....
In this post-9/11 world, a commander-in-chief has to make decisions of war and peace, life and death, based on imperfect information. We cannot afford in that position someone who requires certain knowledge of outcome before acting. We cannot afford in that position someone who views the War on Terror as not war but criminal enterprise. We cannot afford in that position a weak-kneed vacillator like John Kerry. Is there any doubt that John Kerry would never act preemptively to protect America?
How could John Kerry make an error in logic so obvious, so beyond surreal? He is an idiot? Or does he simply think we are?
TRUELIES
The second problem with John Kerry's statements is that they are false.
HAIRPIN 180
The third problem with John Kerry's comments is that they are self-contradictory; they are a self-contained flip-flop, if you will.
Kerry initially tells Sawyer that whether the Iraq War was worth it or not "depends on the outcome, ultimately, and that depends on the leadership." But when Sawyer repeats his comment, Kerry calculates that the statement weakens his position, does a quick 180 and denies that he said what he just said.
This little "interview" tells us everything we need to know about John Kerry.

John Kerry
"I listened to what Senator Kerry had to say in Boston, and, with all due respect to the Senator, he views the world as if we had never been attacked on September 11th. The job of the Commander-in-Chief, as he sees it, is to use America's military strength to respond to attacks. But September 11th showed us, as surely as anything can, that we must act against gathering dangers - not wait for to be attacked. That awful day left some 3,000 of our fellow citizens dead, and everything we have learned since tells us the terrorists would do worse if they could, and that they will even use chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons against us if they can. In the world we live in now, responding to attacks is not enough. We must do everything in our power to prevent attacks -- and that includes using military force."
Dick Cheney
"While I don't agree with Bush on a single domestic issue, they are all trumped by the issue of terrorism, where he has enunciated the Bush Doctrine and proven his ability to fight this war.
The Democratic Party just doesn't have the stomach to go after terrorists."
Ed Koch, a Democrat

The Left's Fatally Flawed "Animal Farm" Mentality
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
its porcine manifestation.
GEORGE TSURIS
Soros' little speech reveals everything we need to know about the Left, to wit:
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.

Have you seen Miniter's new book? .
Shadow War The unreported story of the War on Terror is that we can win it, and that the victories are being won now. In Shadow War: The Untold Story of How Bush is Winning the War on Terror, Richard Miniter, author of the bestseller Losing bin Laden, explains why. (Order both Shadow War and Losing bin Laden together and save almost 50%.) Drawing on material he gathered from court records, government reports, and other authoritative documents, and during travels and interviews with top-level officials in Baghdad, Khartoum, Cairo, Manila, Hong Kong, Paris, London, and elsewhere -- as well as New York and Washington -- Miniter answers the three most burning questions regarding the terror war:
This is a thrilling story of sleeper cells and patient plots, phone intercepts and covert operations, boldly triumphant captures and heartbreakingly close escapes. Miniter offers compelling evidence, much of it never seen before, that bin Laden is not buried on some Afghan battlefield, but is healthy and in command. He reveals that the common assumption that Osama is in Pakistan is probably false -- and proves that the terror mastermind is actually being sheltered by a member of President Bush's "Axis of Evil." Miniter also goes beyond the biases and distortions of the evening news to demonstrate that since September 11, 2001, al Qaeda has made many attempts to kill large numbers of Americans. So far, these attempts have failed -- because they have been thwarted. Far from failing to keep up with what radical Muslims are doing, intelligence officials, according to Miniter, are defeating a plot somewhere in the world every day. Miniter shows how the Bush Administration's aggressive execution of the War on Terror -- including everything from aerial bombardment and covert operations to relentless counter-intelligence and patient police work -- has kept the terrorists at bay. So are we winning the War on Terror? Miniter says yes - and provides details about the more than 3,000 al Qaeda operatives have been seized or slain in 102 countries since September 11, 2001. He takes you inside the Bush team's clandestine efforts against the global terror network, showing how right the President was when he told the world in March 2004 that "some two-thirds of al Qaeda's key leaders have been captured or killed; the rest of them hear us breathing down their necks." Miniter also reveals what is likely to be the War on Terror's next battlefield, and how al Qaeda hopes to determine the outcome of this fall's presidential election.

The immense impact that the Socialist victory in Spain after the March 11, 2004, terror bombings in Madrid has on the worldwide War on Terror
Why the insiders -- the National Security Council, the CIA, the FBI, other intelligence services, and the Defense Department -- think the War on Terror is going well, while the press and public wonder darkly if the terrorists are winning
Here, then, is the story of daring conspiracies to kill hundreds and desperate efforts to safeguard millions. It is a largely untold tale of a secret war that sprawls over four continents. On its outcome turns the future of the free world. Says Miniter: "If the press covered World War II the way they cover the War on Terror, we would have seen exhaustive coverage of the carnage of the Pearl Harbor attack but missed entirely Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, the heroic defeat on Wake Island, the desperate defense of Guadalcanal, and the come-from-behind victory in the Battle of Midway. With a press like this, at the end of 1942 America would have no idea whether World War II was a hopeless cataclysm or a purposeful march to victory." Shadow War is the much-needed corrective to this skewed and dangerous perspective.

I didn't say a thing about not voting for Bush.
But don't try to feed me crap and call it supper.
Bush has had years to close the borders to these terrorist and shut down the unchecked visas, greencards and illegal immigration of Islamics and he hasn't bothered with it so don't try to tell me now that I can count on Bush protecting our children....I was counting on that sept.12 and I've been disappointed every day since.
Since 9-11, I can't recall any further successful terrorist strikes on American soil. But I do know of several that have been thwarted.
By "secure borders" are you referring to them being secure from terrorists or Mexicans?
Well said.
So only Mexicans are crossing...? well thank God for that. Here I was worried that arabs were walking in that open door.
How do you close 18,000 miles of borders and coastlines?
