So his solution to dealing with dictators is to become friends with them. Idiot.
Tim is giving an inordinate amount of time to Biden.
Wallace's loaded question to Allen..."Do you think we have failed in...." was the leadup to Dodd's criticism of our 'not' discussing....blah blah blah.
That's Biden's line this morning too. Suggests that President Bush DOES NOT have a relationship with the Japanese PM. Yes, he really said that.
He's just awed by the man's brilliance. /s
Did you catch the moral equivalence in his answer? "Sure, Hezbollah is to blame but so are WE!" Putz.
Newt concedes we don't know if NK can shoot off a nuclear missile, but they have more than enough fissile material to put it on a ship and move into NY or San Francisco harbor.
They aren't even remotely close to having a nuclear weapon and being able to hit America.
%%%%%%
Dems always move the goalposts. Maddie and her sidekick have been all over tv saying that NK have about 6 nukes. So now Biden is saying they are not dangerous to us, {just SK and Japan} and other shorter range targets?
Sometimes, Rodguy, it's time to put the rhetoric aside and do the manly deed.
By the way, I have become enamored of the new book "Manliness" and how it's resonating across the pop culture plain. Because, as a former and vicious women's libber, I have stood up and seen the landscape and the writing, heh, on the wall.
The MEN of this planet, specifically the manly men, will SAVE the world. Go on, women are not going to fight a damn war. Thirty years ago I'd have slapped myself for suggesting such a thing my marching, radical, younger self.
However, insert wink here, there ARE certain requirements to be a manly man. I put a post on it HERE. Be forewarned, it's a little R rated and I really go after Rush and his Viagra episode. But hey, guys, there is a FIRST requirement to being a manly man. Scroll down for the Rush Rant.
Timmy points out to Newt (correctly, I believe) that what you have just said is a condemnation of the Bush Administration. Newt does a humahuma, but that's what he is up to this morning.
Now Newt is trying to say that he's not blasting Bush. Do you notice that Newt throws out "facts" with no attribution. I have never fact checked a transcript on him. Maybe I should.
Excellent point.
The Democrats are playing it both ways and you nailed it.
This reminds me of the NYT saying, when they released yet another national security secret, that it's important to tell the American people what's going on because it's so secret we deserve to know.
When the outrage continued they started saying "Well, everyone knew about the program anyway."
This is how they play the game and hope no one notices, but you made sure we did, maica.
By now Israel has learned that trying to deal with terrorists using PC(politically correct)logic will lose every time you try.
It was a mistake to give back the Gaza strip as the terrorists saw the gesture solely as a sign of weakness rather that the olive branch which is the European/NYT mentality of waging war.
It will also be a mistake to stop destroying terrorists and anything they use to try and destroy Israel with.
What I see happening is that Israel will keep making remarkable strikes against the terrorists until they(hamas and hezbollah) cry "uncle".
Eventually, in short order, the terror types and their lackeys will claim they are ready for peace talks which will be a sign Israel is making strides in it's blitzkrieg they are currently waging.
World opinion will immediately jump on Israel to stop the bombing and all will be peaceful again.And most likely Israel will pull back as it always does. But will all be peaceful again?
We are fighting a slick enemy in the Middle East. They have successfully used left wing tactics to wage war, and the msm/driveby media is solidly against Israel even though they are the aggrieved party! They were attacked by terror types and their soldiers were kidnapped.
This matters little to agenda laden media and terror types bent on the destruction of the U.S. and all it represents.
We are the true, real targets or terrorists and if they have to strike us through Israel all the better for them.
Islamic terrorism has become a sort of blind faith/brainwashed form of war waged on the US and it's few allies. The perpetrators have learned to use every trick in the trade against us.
We are afraid to go up against Iran,who is undoubtedly behind much of the current problems in Israel, and Saudi Arabia since they control vast stretches of oil reserves that could disrupt worldwide commerce.
At the same time we refuse to drill for oil in places where oil is found and every type of energy security available to us from nuclear to shale oil,which is directly related to the WOT, is demagogued,shot down by the left in a traitorous effort to regain political power at any and all costs.
Meanwhile our elected reps fail to secure our own borders by killing border fence funding(in the Senate) when we know terror types cross almost daily.
We are in a crossroads as a nation and we need to stand up for freedom and democracy or lose it.
Wow---that B@stard Biden said instead of protecting our borders from nuclear weapons in a Pamama Boat the President is giving tax cuts to people who make over a million dollars a year.
MTP
Wow! Biden is talkin' tough! Wanting to take out the NK missiles, etc.
hehehe
Biden wants us to threaten North Korea that we will annihilate them. My oh my, Biden is sooooo though. He constantly reminds us of how he was saying this and that 2 years ago, 3 years ago, i.e., I, Biden, have always been right.
Exactly. And we are at a crossroads.
9 am hour on MSNBC and they returned to live news coverage. Oh shoot, I was looking forward to their Headliners and Legends replay on the life and times of Raquel Welch. just kidding about Welch, but they did Chris Rock bio earlier, so anything is possible on this big news Sunday.
And OH How cute! Alex Whitt (sp) the (usually competent) MSNBC anchorette, hand-wrings to Newsweek's Middle East reporter, Christopher Dickey, about Lebanon. She says to Dickey,
"it's going to get worse before it gets worse".
Yes she said it. I think she deserves some kind of award for "cute".
But why wouldn't she be dreaming up super duper negative comments? Dickey just told her Bush has been AWOL in Lebanon, not coming up with a plan, ignoring the problem, in other words, it's all Bush's fault, in Dickey Newsweek speak.
