Washington, D.C.
After many, many months of being a punching bag, the punching bag is ready to fight back. Republicans believe it is long overdue.
On FOX NEWS SUNDAY this morning, Brit Hume reported that he was told at the highest levels that the White House was finally going to engage the Democrats. They will be coming out with a defense of the war in Iraq.
On this forum and around the blogosphere, Republican loyalists have been wondering why the President has allowed the Democrats to get away with calling him a liar. There is a wealth of evidence justifying the war, including 500 tons of yellowcake uranium discovered in Iraq in March of 2003 at the nuclear research center of Al-Tuwaitha. 1.8 tons was enriched. That is not Betty Crocker yellow cake. Hussein wanted a bomb. And yet, a majority of our population does not even know about that find.
The Democrats are doing exactly what they said they would do in their secret memo that was captured by a Republican staffer. They are using the war for political purposes, while they are pretending it is not for political purposes.
If the President will light a fire under his team, support for the war will increase, perhaps dramatically. The President owes it to the troops who have sacrificed and to those who are still out there risking their lives everyday. Step up, Mr. President.
Churchill I believe.
Last Tuesday, Harry Reid took to the floor of the Senate and asserted that the Bush administration had "manufactured and manipulated intelligence in order to sell the war in Iraq and attempted to destroy those who dared to challenge its actions." If that charge had any validity, it would be an indictable offense. But it is, in reality, a damnable lie and reckless slander. The president needs to defend his name and the party needs to get behind him.
But it's Bush's move to make first.
I hope this is true. I have gotten sick of the go along to get along attitude, because it has gotten us nothing. Dealing with Dems is like dealing with Muslims. They seen any sign of "dialogue" and accomodation as weakness, and it's blood in the water to them.
It's time to walk the walk.
Here is a link for the things I mentioned above:

About damn time.
I believe that was said by Winston Churchill.
Sheeesh, I know I'm going to sound like such an ignoramus, but I hadn't heard that we found ANYTHING at all! Can you give me some links about the yellowcake so I can share them??
Bush is known for letting his opponents keep on investing in a losing hand. I have been long awaiting the calling of bets and the showdown.
If there is one thing that I have learned about this White House over the past five years, it is that they are immensely patient. To them, timing is everything.
The CIA must be confronted also, they are at the bottom of all this trying to bring the President down. Hell, they couldn't get anything straight regarding the terrorists prior to 9/11, how can they get anything straight trying to get the President, answering my on question, they can't, look how many attempts they have made and he is still way out in front. They must be cleaned out and stopped.
I've been waiting for a number of years to hear Bush's explaination of why the southern border situation doesn't need to be changed for full control.
That's kinda who I thought it was.
Too bad the Administration is still fumbling through the closet trying to figure out WHICH pants to put on.
Meaningfull Border control would be welcome also. Even Brit has said that the U.S. is immune to the problems seen today in France because the looters here are "working". There's a degree of that but they are still balkanizing America communities. Waaaayyy too many are have no intention of assimilation. Their only goal is weakening American Sovereignty.
Agree, I'll be waiting for action. I've heard all the talk.
LOL, after what something like ten years, the Republicans are finally going to grow a set? Call me in act three. I'm busy.
Outside groups (Move America Forward) are also pushing. Lets hop on the bandwagon. I see the next few months will be good for Bush. The Iraqis will have a permenant Gov't. "Rovegate" will nonexistant. Alito will be confirmed. Along with this Push, and the election of a Permanent Government will shatter the Media's criticism of the War.
No! The Pubs haven't got the guts to call them socialists, let alone traitors. - tom
It is about time! We have been silent too long. It is shocking and will bend history that the President allowed himself, without responding, to be called a "LIAR" by the likes of senator kennedy, one of the great lying pigs of Washington.
The problem with the WH is chronic, compounded ignorance. They never seem to realize that they don't know that they don't know. They have to stop looking out at the world and start looking in from the outside.
