Excellent.

Can anyone tell me why the dims hate the USA so much? Are they still fuming about being put in the minority in every phase of government, both federal and state level? Or is it that they are just little brats who believe the one who screams the loudest wins?

[Just mythoughts]

Appears the liberal dims know full well that their counterparts the Republicans, are not going to investigate who initiated this Wilson affair from way back in Feb. of 2002. (A short 6 months after 9/11/01)

Dingy's Senate stunt was timed to deflect attention away from the Alito nomination. Democrats knew fairly quickly that Alito would ultimately be confirmed - something the democrat base would go rip-ship over. Bush would go 2 fer 2.

By going back to the anti-war carping section of the democrat playbook, Dingy changed the subject and appeased the hardcore leftwing base. At least temporarilly.

The White House seems to hope that by refusing to engage seriously in this debate, it can somehow make the issue go away. It can't.

This is an absolutely true statement. I hope the administration is listening. There is nothing to fear with going public and fighting back. The facts are all on the side of the White House. I hope the "new tone" does not include an unwillingness to face down those who are trying to destroy you, for that is what these dems are trying to do and it has become an issue of national security.

This thing has to be fought with facts condensed to an understandable level for the public to consume. How is the hell is this accomplished!?! If you listen to conservative radio, this is old news, but only a small percentage of us listen. The other 95% doesn't have a clue and most don't care.

Additionally, the Republican Party needs a new "Manifesto" that is SHORT, TO THE POINT and concisely list the usual honorable objectives including the "war" against all who seek to destroy the things we free people cherish.

Additionally, a subtext, to the above Manifesto, is needed to describe the defensive and offensive programs being executed to protect this nation.

" All of the statements were entered on a spreadsheet that put each public statement side-by-side with the underlying intelligence reporting that came closest to supporting it." . . . . . . . . . . That is, the claims would be assessed without any knowledge of who made them. Although the plan seemed like a reasonable way to take politics out of the evaluation process, the Democrats balked. For good reason.

Ooohhhhh those wascawwy Wepublicans. They took statements and put them on a timeline. But they didn't attribute the statements. Of course, many of the statements were being made by Democrats, some of whom are now saying the opposite of what they said earlier - and now while accusing the Bush Administration of LYING! And they're livid! Ya just gotta love it!

[wildbill]

The President ought to go directly at the Dems in the State of the Union speech. I know it's against tradition--but its also against tradition to take politics into a war or have a past President taking potshots at an administration like Carter and Slick Willie are doing.

Wow! Great, great article. Thanks for posting this.
Bookmarked.

It is hard to imagine a more serious charge than the one Senate Democrats are now making: The Bush administration took the country to war in Iraq on the basis of lies. The White House seems to hope that by refusing to engage seriously in this debate, it can somehow make the issue go away.

It can't.

Amen to that. Bush and the Republicans need to start throwing some roundhouses.
The scumbag Democrats need to be buried.
