Sometimes David Brooks infuriates me, he seems to vacillate, but this is a first-rate editorial and I hope it gets a wide reading from the typical NYT readers.
He hasn't revealed it because even he don't know.
And even if he did, it would change by the next shift in the wind.
David Brooks and Bill Safire are the ONLY voices of reason left at the NY Slimes. In fact, I feel that in the closing weeks of the election campaign, Brooks has been more effective than Safire in rebutting his deranged leftist fellow op-ed columnists like Krugman and Dowd.
Brooks is an op-ed columnist. He does not reflect the editorial spin of the Times itself. He is a lonely voice of moderate reason that is allowed to voice his opinion in the Times. And this was a great column.
Just dont stay around long enough to read any of Krugman or Dowd tomorrow.... you may want to barf up your entire Halloween dinner.
good post
What a deceitful guy Kerry is....
We all know that John "Nuisance" Kerry wants us to outsource all our wars.
His first impulse is to invite the UN to tell us what to do.
A FRENCH START
FOR AMERICA
Kerry / Edwards
This portion of OBL's speech wasn't aired on television; might give a boost to Bush's campaign and Old Media certainly doesn't want that:
But after we were so fed up, and we saw the oppression of the American Israeli coalition on our people in Palestine and Lebanon, it came to my mind and the incidents that really touched me directly goes back to 1982 and the following incidents. When the US permitted the Israelis to invade Lebanon with the assistance of the 6th fleet. In these ha
One theme that must be played up is the basic tenet of Osama message. he hates Israel, hates Jews and wants them and anyone supporting them destroyed. To excuse, coddle or even send messages that are in agreement with Osama (like Michael Moore, Patty Murray, Jim Mcdermott, and many supporters of John Kerry) is to be an anti semite. American will no longer tolerate anti-Semitism and it needs to be called out. It is not really different than benabling the KKK in this day and time. This anti-semitic appeasement and enablingis position the RATS have alligned themselves with in being completely tepid on 9/11 and Osama and in making statements that undermine our recoignition of Osaam's evil intent.
Please G-d, let Bush be reelected... I am more and more afraid... If sKerry is elected, it will be the end of the West!
This is an awsome piece! Forward this around!
possible NC bump.....? (your call)
Osama finally comes out from his cave Outer Mongolia with his political endorsement. That boring speech had so many Michael Mooreon quotes, he must be getting the Old York Times delivered?? Yawn said that he had world leaders who were hoping that he would become President and now we know who he was talking about. Since he could have easily captured this murderer, he must have been in constant communication. After all, Yaawn Cut & Run Kerry is the most brilliant Armchair General and Monday Morning QB in the Country. Komrade Kerry knows everything about everything, just ask him a veritable Cliff Claven.
The first moment that Yaawn hears about Osama bin Hidin threatening the United States election and it’s people what is Yaawn’s response? Does he state we are unified in defeating this animal? No, he piles on the military, America and the President to score the cheapest of political points. This fits him like a T, he hates the military, America and the President with every vote he has cast or speech given. In unscripted moments, the true John Kerry comes out, the one we saw in 1971, he says that the military failed to catch Osama. Fact is, if Kerry, Clinton or Gore were presidents we would not have even been in Afghanistan. They all said that it was going to be another Vietnam and none of them had the spine to attack a sovereign country. So Osama would still be in his compounds outside of Kabul training terrorists for the next American attack.
We have the country’s most vile enemy attacking our President and our people and what is the first thing out of his mouth. “I would have captured or killed Osama!” What a piece of garbage to make an empty statement when this terrorist is threatening our women and children. First, track records for Rat CIC’s in war is very weak, but assuming he would have let the dogs loose and he ever got to the point our troops got to in Tora Bora, how you going to smoke him out? This is the most inaccessible land in the world. 20,000 foot mountains in the roadless areas between Pakistan and Afghanistan, tell us how YOU would catch him Yaawn??
Comrade Kerry is always the first to criticize our troops, but he never tells us exactly what he can do better. Our main mistake in Tora Bora was we became too sensitive to the terrorists and gave them a cease fire to surrender which is when they escaped. That is what Comrade Kerry would do in Iraq and is why Osama endorsed him. He is tired of raising goats in Outer Mongolia. He wants back in the game like when BJ clinton was treating him like a “nuisance” and is pining for a Kerry return to those days.
He misses the days when he could blow up or murder Americans at will and we would treat it like a police action. Threaten to hunt them down and kill them anywhere, any time yada, yada, yada and then wait for the next attack. He misses the days when the military option was not an option and our military was a meals-on-wheels brigade and no threat to Osama. Yeah, he is hoping and praying that Comrade Kerry will get elected and bring back the good ol days for terrorism when American blood flowed freely in the streets.
George W Bush changed all that! He told the military to sick-um and they did. Now terrorists are either dead or hiding for fear of their lives. Osama has not been able to attack this country once and is losing dozens of men a day. He knows that after GW is elected he is a dead man. He knows that the military is the finest and brightest military in the history of the world. He knows that GW will let the military adapt and destroy with an efficiency that he cannot match. He knows that his only chance of survival now is to get Yaawn elected. He knows that if President Bush is elected he will end up on the Ash Heap of History. Let’s pray America figures out what Osama has.
So in desperation he gives a rambling, long winded monotone speech that was laced heavily with attacks on the President and our military with wild claims from Michael Moore to fire-up his base. Pretty much a Yaawn Cut & Run stump speech who is now his number one fan, so Blood will run in America’s streets once again.
Pray for W and Our Election
