Exonerating Bush, Point-By-Point

The Evening Bulletin ( Philadelphia) ^ | 9/1/06 | MICHAEL P. TREMOGLIE

[RKV]

Good article and nice refutation of the propaganda campaign points pushed by the media wing of the DemocRATic Party.

[Eva]

I thought that the Evening Bulletin was defunct?

Anyway, great article! Thanks for posting. I have been wondering if BP scandal about trying to corner and manipulate the propane market on the East Coast is getting much attention? I heard Dom Giordano, filling in for O'Reilly, spending a lot of time on it yesterday, on the radio.

Great editorial. It's just too bad liberals won't let facts get in the way of their opinions.

Where does the president and Karl Rove go to get their reputations back?

[<1/1,000,000th%]

This is merely a recycled conspiracy theory from World War II. Then, people claimed FDR knew about Pearl Harbor and did nothing because he wanted an excuse to enter World War II.

This is not a myth. There is testimony from people who were involved and who saw copies of the 8 point memo outlining steps to provoke Japan to attack us.

FDR was another lousy President.

[I still care]

Facts mean nothing to true believers.

I watched Mark Steyn this am on cspan. He was talking about plamegate and armitage.

A moonbat Dem called up and said that he heard on Olbermann that Armitage got a memo from Cheney telling him about Plame. Steyn's reaction was to say, Womderful. Now you can keep this going for another 5 years.

Good article. Thanks for posting.

Someone needs to start a Bush Derangment Syndrome telethon.

[ConservativeMind]

Thank you for posting.

I hear you on that. Where does Libby, who probably made $180k/year as Cheney's chief of staff, go to cover the probable $1M-2M in legal fees he'll have amassed by the time his tangential involvement in this brouhaha is fully litigated?

My only concern is that the White House should have been able to offer an active defense of the President and Rove mid-stream in this non-story. I understand that their view is to wait for the official results to feel exonerated - but that doesn't cut it.The Washington Post buries their admission of error on A20 - and that is 3 years late. I think Tony Snow has added a great deal to the White House' ability to get the message out. He needs to be placed on offense from here on out to the end of this administration.

[Political Junkie Too]

Good article -- one correction:

former Treasury Secretary during the Clinton administration, Paul Robert Rubin...

The Eveing Bulletin just atarted in 2004 with a new owner. Termoglie started writing for them in 2006 after writng for years for David Horowitz's Front Magazine and Human Events and Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

The EB is the only conservative paper in Philly and Tremoglie probably the only conservative columnist. He is also a great novelist. Just finished his novel A Sense of Duty based on his experiences as a cop in Philly.

Great!

...Chris Mathews, one of the leading proponents of this conspiracy theory, acted as Rove's judge, jury and executioner. He insisted that Rove was the source....

Hardball, if Chrissy is on should be very interesting tonight. Could be interesting also if good ole Nora is taking Chrissy's place.

[Ilky Hucktar]

I'd like to see one of those "which is the truth" video presentations using the lies listed in this article. "Pick the liar!" Then show a few seconds of Rove, W or whoever, then a few seconds of the lying Dems. "That's right, it's the Dems again..." I don't know if it would be a campaign add. Maybe public service ad so it can run free. Wouldn't it be a public service to let the people know which leaders are lying to them? Including about war, no less.

The day the Saudis flew was the day all commercial flights resumed.

That is not true.

[Aliska]

annex their oil reserves (Senator Ted Kennedy, Workers World Party, Revolutionary Communist Party).

Bush lied about a relationship between al-Qaida and Iraq (MoveOn.org, Michael Moore, Revolutionary Communist Party, Workers World Party, The New York Times, Democratic National Committee).

What is this? Kennedy is a Democrat. Is there any substance that he has sympathies with the Communist Party, Workers World Party? Same for Michael Moore? I have no respect for either of them, but is there any proof of any of that?

Otherwise good article, it will never mollify the left. The truth gets in their way.

False accusation #4: Bush secretly conspired to whisk Saudis out of the country by authorizing them to fly in the days following 9-11 when no one else, "not even the FBI," could fly (Michael Moore, Vanity Fair).

Truth: The 9-11 commission and my own independent investigation have invalidated this. The day the Saudis flew was the day all commercial flights resumed


In his testomony before the 9/11 commission, Our hero Richard Clark said that this was his decision and that it went no higher. The Saudi plane did leave before commercial traffic was allowed and it was Clark who authorized it.

"This is merely a recycled conspiracy theory from World War II. Then, people claimed FDR knew about Pearl Harbor and did nothing because he wanted an excuse to enter World War II."

That one's true.

How US Economic Warfare Provoked Japan’s Attack on Pearl Harbor

[Miami Vice]

Oh yes it is. Read Tremoglie's articel for Human Events AND the 9-11 Commission Report.

The flight information presented by Vanity Fair, Michael Moore and obtained by Juidical Watch FOIA request listed the Saudis first flight as leaving 9-13-01.

This is from Tremnoglie's piece,

" According to the 9-13-01 edition of the Detroit News," U.S. Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta said commercial and private planes would be allowed to fly effective 11 a.m. EDT Thursday." Other papers reported the same thing. In fact, limited flights resumed the afternoon of the 12th. William Shumann spokesman for the FAA told me that commercial airline and charter flights resumed 11am September 13. There is a difference between commercial aviation (i.e. airlines or charters such as the Saudi flight) and private or non-commercial ( i.e. an individually owned aircraft) according to Shumann."

The rumor started because the stupid Vanity Fair lierbal writer made a mistake between what teh FAA considered commercial and private. Typicla liberal meida jerk!

Don't be a liberal media lapdog.
