Incoming Congress prepares to launch 'Operation Surrender' ... Ann Coulter
World Net Daily ^ | 6 Dec 2006 | Ann Coulter

Posted on 12/06/2006 3:38:39 PM PST by Rummyfan

The "bipartisan" Iraq panel has recommended that Iran and Syria can help stabilize Iraq. You know, the way Germany and Russia helped stabilize Poland in '39.

Now that Democrats have won the House, they can concentrate on losing the war. Despite all the phony conservative Democrats who got elected as gun-totin' hawks, the Democrats will uniformly vote to dismantle every aspect of the war on terrorism. They've started a runaway train and can't stop it now.

The Democratic base is at a fever pitch with visions of storm troopers listening to their phone calls and ruthlessly torturing innocent accountants at Guantanamo, where the average inmate has his own lawyer, his own prayer rug and is wondering what to do about that extra weight – known as the "Gitmo 20" – he's put on since being captured. They are oddly copacetic about actual storm troopers' daily harassment of actual citizens at airport security checkpoints. Liberals have no problem with government oppression as long as it's mandatory and applied equally to all Americans.

(Column continues below)

In a broadcast on the fifth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, NBC's Matt Lauer tried to nail down the Manhattan portion of his audience by aggressively questioning President Bush about the possible use of "waterboarding" against terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Lauer said ominously, "It's been reported that with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, he was what they call 'waterboarded.'"

At NBC, they apparently expected most Americans to react to this fact by exclaiming: They did WHAT to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed? Wait – are you sure about that? OK, that's it. I will never vote Republican again!

President Bush refused to discuss techniques used on terrorists, saying, "We don't want the enemy to adjust." But Americans "need to know," he said, "we're using techniques within the law to protect them."

While normal people would be happy if we were using cattle prods on the mastermind of the 9-11 attacks, Lauer was testy about the possible use of waterboarding against him. "I don't want to let this 'within the law' issue slip," he said.

"I mean, if, in fact, there was waterboarding used with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed – and for the viewers, that's basically you strap someone to a board, and you make them feel as if they're going to drown. You put them under water. If that was legal and within the law, why couldn't you do it at Guantanamo? Why'd you have to go to a secret location around the world?"

In point of fact, we strap people to wooden boards and make them feel like they're drowning all the time in this country. Mostly at theme parks like Six Flags.

Bush again said he wasn't going to talk about techniques. But Lauer's relentless grilling was getting to him. If he'd been at Gitmo, at this point Bush would have demanded a lawyer, another copy of the Quran and a couple of chocolate eclairs.

Lauer continued to pester the president, demanding to know whether these "alternative techniques you use ... if they are used, are you at all concerned that at some point, even if you get results, there's a blurring the lines of – between ourselves and the people we're trying to protect us against?"

Hey, I forget: When did Khalid Sheikh Mohammed use aggressive interrogation techniques against a known mass murderer in an effort to thwart another 9/11-style attack on thousands of innocent civilians?

There are few better examples of how out of touch liberals are. They go right to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and expect Americans to be outraged that he may have been waterboarded.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the principal architect of the 9/11 attacks and is believed to have played a role in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the Bali nightclub bombings, the filmed beheading of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, a thwarted 2002 attack on a bank tower in Los Angeles, and Operation Bojinka, a plot to blow up 11 commercial airliners simultaneously. Oh, and he took home the coveted "world's craziest terrorist" prize at al-Qaida's end-of-season office party last year.

I think waterboarding should be a reward for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed: OK, you've been good, Mohammed, we're only going to waterboard you today. Let's get you out of those cold electrodes and onto a nice, warm waterboard, OK?

Now that they're our new best friends, how about we turn to Iran and Syria for help on our interrogation techniques?

U.S. oil giants and BP have there former lost oil signatory concessions restored.
U.S. Dollar activity floods the mid east and Afghanistan [Dope-istan]
Iraq will continue in sectarian Murder-death-kill like the Balkans....until it is eventually partitioned.
U.S. will stick around the mid east just incase Iran attempts to Borse its oil against the U.S. Dollar.

Saudi's have not performed as expected.....they too will be troubled for their miserable Sunni machinations.

When it comes to money its...

Break a deal.......spin the wheel" : )

"Ann Coulter began attacking the Bush administration last year with all the enthusiasm and single-mindedness of a moonbat liberal."

You're a liar. And a stalker.

Boy And Girls: Its time to Cut And Run! Operation Surrender will be underway shortly and we - your new bipartisan defeatist leadership anticipate high success for American defeat. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

But, before your regularly scheduled programming, we will stand next to Cindy Sheehan as she urinates on her son's grave and, in unison, urinate on the graves of 2900+ soldiers who gave their lives to protect us.

Now back to Mutt and Jeff for the 100th recap of the Michael Richards n-word rant that really has some importance.

More Media Bait and Switch:
Let’s Send Additional Troops to Iraq Instead of Withdrawal

Newsbusters ^ | 12/6/2006 | Noel Sheppard
Posted on 12/06/2006 3:17:00 PM PST by tobyhill
It’s almost becoming a daily occurrence now, isn’t it?

Another major media outlet has confirmed that all the pre-election blather concerning a withdrawal of American troops from Iraq if Democrats took over Congress was just another part of that Party’s elaborate bait and switch scheme.

This time on its knees in the confessional was Newsweek (hat tip to NB member “aero”), and none other than two of its crack investigative reporters, Michael Isikoff and Mark Hosenball (emphasis mine throughout):

In a surprise twist in the debate over Iraq, Rep. Silvestre Reyes, the soon-to-be chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said he wants to see an increase of 20,000 to 30,000 U.S. troops as part of a stepped up effort to “dismantle the militias.”

Excuse me?

Wasn’t this man appointed by incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi who went around the country promising voters that troops would be withdrawn from Iraq if Democrats won and she became Speaker? Are you kidding me? Shouldn’t this evoke tremendous anger from the writers at Newsweek? Au contraire...

I rally dunno why, but after looking at THAT 'toon, I'm gonna hafta protest the Dems continued abuse of poor, innocent jackasses and demand that they stop using their likeness as the Democrat Party icon. It's got to where it's a "cruelty to animals" thing.

I mean, go back and look at the picture. If that was a normal donkey, not a Dem caricature, don't you think he'd have the round peg in the round hole already? I sure do. But the only reason the donkey's not a success is because he's playing patsy for the Dems.

It's just gotta stop.
