That story about Brian Williams just makes me barf! You can just feel the derision he has for this President.....the way he writes about it, you would think that these kinds of measures are only being taken for President Bush, that they would not be taken for any other President in a time of war. What a POS Williams is!

Then he goes on to cry about New Orleans once again.....

Agreed. Tony Snow has been outstanding in his handling of the press corps. They just cannot pull the same things on Tony that they got away with before.

I will not be surprised if we see a book on it all after Tony leaves the job. He is the best I've seen in years, including Republicans.

I am still looking and will get back to you, but it's time for church. I will be back early afternoon.

In doing searches via google, I've found the items about Powell's statements in 2003 through his attorney, but that wasn't what I was looking for. I am still retracing my steps over the last few days to see where I had found it.

"I think Casey sliminess is why Santorum has pretty much closed the gap in the polls despite being double digits behind at one point."

After seeing the two of them together, I can't believe Rick is losing by double digits to Casey. Do you know if they are going to debate on TV soon??

Ben ven ista got in the face of the producer

Nothing like a mob lawyer trying to intimidate the media! Doesn't get much better!

Not surprised. I understand a live thread has already been established for us here on FR for the viewing?

The big question at this point is did Bubba get to ABC(Disney)in time to kill the parts of the story that could get out? I guess we shall see Mon.

I do believe in all my heart that if the dems regain control of Congress and the Presidency, the very first thing they will do is raise the SS tax.

I was on FNC, missed MTP. Is there a re-broadcast of MTP later, or am I SOL?

It's hard to beat Tony Snow, he does a great job at whatever he is doing! And that is the big question? What will he do after GW's term is up?

Here in a nutshell, is the strategic military reason for Iraq. Even if Al Gore won the 2000 election and 09-11 still happened we would be doing the EXACT same things in Iraq we are doing now. Based on the political situation in the region plus the domestic political considerations as well as fundamental military strategic laws, there was NO choice for the US but to take out Iraq next after Afghanistan.

To start with Saddam's Iraq was our most immediate threat. We could NOT commit significant military forces to another battle with Saddam hovering undefeated on our flank nor could we leave significant forces watching Saddam. The political containment of Iraq was breaking down. That what Oil for Food was all about. An attempt by Iraq to break out of it's diplomatic isolation and slip the shackles the UN Sanctions put on it's military. The War on Terrorism is different sort of war. In the war on Terrorism, we have a hidden foe, spread out across a geographically diverse area, with covert sources of supply. Since we cannot go everywhere they hide out, in fact often cannot even locate them until the engage us, we need to draw them out of hiding into a kill zone.

Iraq is that kill zone. That is the true brilliance of the Iraq strategy. We draw the terrorists out of their world wide hiding places onto a battlefield they have to fight on for political reasons (The "Holy" soil of the Arabian peninsula) where they have to pit their weakest ability (Conventional Military combat power) against our greatest strength (ability to call down unbelievable amounts of firepower) where they will primarily have to fight other forces (the Iraqi Security forces) in a battlefield that is hostile to guerrilla warfare. (Iraqi-mostly open terrain as opposed to guerrilla friendly areas like the mountains of Afghanistan or the jungles of SE Asia).

Look at the map? Iraq, for which we had the political legal and moral justifications to attack, is the strategic high ground of the Middle East. A Geographic barrier that severs ground communication between Iran and Syria apart as well as providing another front of attack in either or into Saudi Arabia as needed.

There are other reasons to do Iraq but here is the strategic reason we are in Iraq. We have taken, an maintain the initiative from the Terrorists. They are playing OUR game on ground of OUR choosing.

Problem is Counter Insurgency is SLOW and painful. Often a case of 3 steps forward, two steps back. I often worry that the American people have neither the maturity, nor the intellect" to understand. It's so much easier to spew made for TV slogans like "No Blood for Oil" or "We support the Troops, bring them home" then to actually THINK. Problem is these people have NO desire to co-exist with us. They see all this PC posturing by the Hysteric Left as a sign that we are weak. Since they want us dead, weakness encourages them. They think their "god" will bless them for killing Westerners.

So we can covert to Islam, die or kill them. Iraq is about killing enough of them to make the rest realize we are serious. See in the Arab world the USA is considered a big wimp. We have run away so many times. Lebanon, the Kurds, the Iraqis in 1991, the Iranians, Somalia, Clinton all thru the 1990s etc etc etc. The Jihadists think we will run again. In fact they are counting on it. That way they can run around screaming "We beat the American just like the Russians, come join us in Jihad" and recruit the next round of "holy warriors". Iraq is also a show place where we show the Muslim world that there are a lines they cannot cross. On 9-11 they crossed that line and we can, and will, destroy them for it
