Ahmadinejad, Hamas and Saddam
Ahmadinejad has said that Israel needs to be wiped off the map and the boys at Hamas totally concur. Some, including Jimmy Carter who, if possible, is more annoying in his dotage than he was in the White House, think their gaining power might be a good thing. ...

State of the Union - Middle East

GW To Liberals: Second Guessing NOT a Strategery!
Bravo to the president for nailing liberals who hate Bush with such blinding ferocity that they! resort to mistruth and anti-American rhetoric that actually encourages the enemy.

The following thoughts abstracted from and engendered by "Freedom, Virtue, and the First Amendment," by Walter Berns lay out the jurisprudential architecture of liberalism that leads liberal-Progressives to fight against Judge Alito's confirmation to the Supreme Court and against NSA wire-tapping to prevent repetitions of 9/11....

The generals should have just kept mum for the time being and let veterans rip the paper for this. They just bolster the "elitism" canard by jumping in this quick.

Just more of the same old disgusting Lamestream Media, who are nothing more than handmaidens to the Howard Dean's Democratic Party.

The chart on the bed actually represents the circulation and revenues for the Washington Post over the last couple of years. Hopefully morons like Tolles will continue the papers slide.

Its good to see real men and maturity on display for once.

The elitist NY media look like fools, all cozy in their Manhattan salons, mocking soldiers.

Please EVERYONE Do what I just did. I called the Buffalo News which ran this despicable cartoon yesterday and informed them if Toles was not dropped from the News my subscription would be. It is bad enough to read the extreme left wing bile in the Buff. News but this is beyond the pale.

These SCUM wouldn't dream of going against Roosevelt during WW 2..because Roosevelt was a Socialist. If Hitler had NOT implemented operation Barbarossa against the Soviets and then we were attacked at Pearl, the leftists in the media would have pulled the same crap they are now when we went to war.

the MSM and Hollywood are rat b*stard commie pinko filth.

The liberal POS's never fail to distress me. They need to take their disgust of America and quest for power and leadership somewhere else and I think we should provide free transportation.

I agree that the cartoon is a disgrace. It must be noted, however, that esprit, that quality that separates warriors remains very high... There are amputees who have been through rehabilitation, been returned to active duty and have gone back into combat... Same as in earlier generations (CSA Generals Richard Ewell and John Bell Hood jump readily to mind). In that respect there are some who really are "battle hardened" in the way that this cartoonist and paper are trying so cynically to exploit.

I think the cartoonist should take his work down to some of the local veterans clubs, have a few beers with the troops to obtain opinions and then an extended stay at home to heal up.

I get a kick out of the leftists that believe we can go to war and NOT be stretched. Just how does one flex any muscle without "stretching" it?

"It was expressing their disappointment with the paper and outrage at using that image to make a political point," said Lt. Col. Diane Battaglia. "That is a rare occurrence, but the level of inappropriateness prompted a response of unanimous support."

I'm sure a few choice phrases were uttered in the room if all those guys got together and discussed this!

I'm glad they went public with this unanimous statement. They're not demanding anything of the Washington Post except some respect for the soldiers they purport to 'support'., The Joint Chiefs are not telling the Washington Post that they shouldn't protest the war; the paper has every right to do so, but they should also be more respectful and not do so over the broken bodies of the men and women who have served honorably.
