If anyone doubts that the most serious threat to American security is the lack of fundamental loyalty on the part of significant segments of our population beginning with members of our intelligence and military agencies (egged on by irresponsibile leaders of the Democratic Party and the media), one has only to read this item from Reuters in today's news. Apparently some officials in the Pentagon, concerned that the White House might take action against Iran have leaked classified information to the press (which the press, of course, is all to eager to publish for our enemies to view). This particular tidbit of damaging information is that America actually doesn't have the military ability to destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities. If this information is true, it is invaluable intelligence to the fanatics in Teheran. If it is not true, why would anyone leak it, since leaking it only encourages Iran's nuclear ambitions?
The leaking of this information is espionage -- as clearly defined by America's espionage laws. It provides extraordinarily valuable informaiton for the enemy and at one time would have been considered treasonous and prosecuted. Of course the government is unable to prosecute traitors anymore, it can't even monitor terrorist communications from abroad without having half the country's political actors in an uproar.
The information published by Reuters endangers the security of every American. Obviously the betrayers of America's military secrets ensconced in the Pentagon no longer believe in our democratic process which elects a commander-in-chief. Instead, whoever leaked this information feels authorized -- probably by the New York Times and John Murtha -- to take authority over matters of war and peace into its own hands by leaking national secrets to the enemy (with the aid of a willing media) in order to tie the hands of the elected commander-in-chiefs. But why not, since the entire liberal community, beginning with the Democratic Party leadership and the New York Times is demanding just such behavior so that Americans can defend themselves against an un-elected president who has destroyed our Constitution and launched a useless war under false pretenses.
One of the least appetizing aspects of this liberal war on America's national security is how liberals rationalize their behavior as self-defense.Frank Rich in today's Times accuses the Bush Administration of attacking the media because it is losing the war in Iraq. In other words Bush is the divider and the aggressor. Only to a solipsist like Frank Rich. Half the difficulties of the war in Iraq stem from the interal war that liberals like Rich and the leaders of the Democratic Party have conducted against the Iraq war from its inception. A divided nation is a weak nation and everyone -- friend as well as foe -- knows it. The left's no-holds-barred assault on Bush is rationalized by the left as their noble reaction to the alleged illegality and false pretenses of the war in Iraq. But the war in Iraq has ten times the legitimacy of Clinton's war in Bosnia which received no congressional authorization and had no Security Council ultimatum and no violated truce to justify it. That didn't bother liberals at all because it was their war and solipsistic as they are, no principles other than their self-interest applied to it. As for the charge of false pretenses, the removal of Saddam Hussein by force was called for by Clinton as well as Bush, and was authorized by a Democratic majority in both houses of Congress with full access to the intelligence information on which the decision to go to war was based and which was assembled by a CIA whose director who was a Clinton appointee.
The opposition to this administration and this war is the most disgraceful in the history of this nation. Let's hope these betrayals don't result in another 9/11. Or worse.

And was supported almost 100% by Republicans including a lame Presidential candidate as well as George W...
The Republicans are giving our country away to the 3rd world to appease their money God, and the Democrats are trying to turn us into pre-WWII Russia...
They deserve to destroy each other...In fact, if they don't, none of us will survive them...
Yep. What's going on here at home is the whole ball of wax. If we don't all wake up and rid ourselves of these commies and Marxists, it doesn't matter one wit about fighting our enemies abroad. It's the ones within that have the ability to destroy us.
That makes about as much sense as passing another gun law.
What are you going to say? "This time we really, really, triple REALLY mean it."
I want to thank you for your service, Eagle. We still can celebrate our Independence because of you and the thousands upon thousands of men like you. As never before it's "us or them", and I hope the American people wake up before it is too late. God bless you, Sir.
Blah, blah, blah.... No one is listening, bud, at least, no one who counts.
bttt
We're the money machine!
Time for the Firing Squad....
Tony Snow knows this and complained about it on his radio show. He now has a seat at the table and he needs to speak up.
It is treason to leak. This is no "whistleblower". This is a shadow element within the US government that serves to oppose the administration with no elected call to do so.
Clean house now and jail the criminal element.
I hope you have a happy and safe Independence Day.
I'm outta here ... for tonight.
My sources, who choose to remain anonymous, say this information was leaked purposely in order to lull certain Iranian Mullahs into complacency. The capacity to take out their nuke program has been in place for some time, and remains as viable as ever. We've also found a means to inculcate bacon fat into the diet of all Muslims, and have been feeding them the same (albeit in weak form) for at least two decades.
"Do liberals want us to lose the war? Do they hate Bush that much?"
Yes to both.
But then that's not exactly news is it?
So when do the heads start rolling?
Espionage, upon conviction, is punishable by death.
"We're the money machine!"
And our 401Ks; IRAs; etc. are the insurance policy!
Yes the liberals want us to lose the war.
Do they hate Bush that much?
You betcha they hate Bush that much. They will never get over losing the 2000 and 2004 Presidential elections. Liberals consider it their right to govern and can't stand being out of power.
The New York Times didn't print the cartoons of Mohammed - they were afraid of AlQaeda.
I suspect the New York Times knows who can fight back, and who can't. And like the bullies they are, they'll go after those who can't fight back. Pray for Rumsfeld, pray for the country, and pray justice is done to the New York Times.
Yes. The left is scared to death of Bush because they think he's a "bible-thumping fanatic" who's going to force everyone to live by the golden rule. The "unjust war", "spying on Americans", "assault on the Constitution" are all secondary to their real fear, which is Christianity. They're afraid to admit this in public, but I'm convinced that this is what it boils down to.
