I told you long ago these people are from the 60's and tried to destroy this country then and are back to finish her off.

And I am not a gloom and doomer.


This is a black, black day for our country.

This is a black, black day for our country.

We'll survive, in fact we'll prosper. Be glad you're not Kurdish or Lebanese. Dare I say Iraqi?

And the rest will make sure the proper well-connect parties make a decent chunk of money from our demise. And they will then retreat to their gated communities, leaving the unwashed rabble to fend for themselves. Consequences are for the little people to bear.

Meanwhile, on Fox News last night (I think it was on Shep's show), they said the most Googled item this year was Britney Spears (even before her latest wardrobe omission), followed by Steve Irwin. The Iraq War was a distant third.

As was noted years ago in the book Amusing Ourselves to Death, we will cheer on the end of the republic as long as it is sold to us as entertainment. This is the latest episode of that sorry saga.

It's basically 1936. The Islamofascists are growing more confident by the day that nobody in the US will get up the guts to stop them. This, of course, means that total war is inevitable unless leadership of vision and clarity strides onto the scene very soon. And that does not seem likely. No, we are going to use the standard approach that killed untold millions in the last century. Namely, waiting until Israel is overrun, or we are WMD'd to finally get the big picture.

Imagine suggesting a representative of the UN be part of the solution. Imagine the EU being part of the solution.

Do you think these people were playing around with LSD while they were thinking up this idiotic plan.

Best part is that President Bush asked them to autograph the report. As tho they were a circus act...........
