Let everyone know next weekend how it goes. My guess it BOR will still make sure it's all about him and not the troops.

I'm watching John Meuller on CSPAN, he wrote a book called "Overblown" and is on air talking about how our country is over reacting to the terrorist threat. "The problem is not what the terrorists do, but what we do in reaction". Oh so typical lefty...scarey that this character is given an audience on CSPAN. "In many respects, the enemy is us".

We'll see if the enemy is us after a dirty nuke goes off in one of our cities.

I am reminded of the following quote about trying to make peace with terrorists:

****

"It is useless for sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism while wolves remain of a different opinion."

[Miss Marple]

Oh, Newt wants another "works" project, like he suggested for Katrina? And when it doesn't work will he again pretend to know nothing about how it got passed?

Don't get me started!

Interesting commentary from yesterday that may have been missed:

Bush: Winning or Saving a Legacy?

Posted by Reagan Man On 12/16/2006 9:54:55 AM CST · 14 replies · 393+ views Human Events ^ | December.14, 2006 | Michael Reagan If there are any places President Bush hasn’t visited or made plans to visit while seeking solutions to the sad state of the war in Iraq, I don’t know where they are. It’s almost as if he is on a vast scavenger hunt where the prize will provide the clues needed to help him solve his current dilemma in Iraq. Unfortunately, it’s becoming more and more obvious as he goes about his search that it’s more about saving his legacy than it is about winning a war that simply must be won. If he were really looking for a way...

EGADS!!! Chrissy asking Teddy about the parallels between Osama/Obama and Teddy's brother JFK. The parallel that Teddy makes is the "ability to inspire America"....and then concludes that Hillary, Dodd, Obama, Kerry, et al....no matter who is chosen is better than any republican. Barf! Thankfully the segment with the drunkard is over.

[Right_in_Virginia]

According to the Swimmer, Obama, Hillary, Kerry,....they're all better than this President.

Although no one is as good as his brothers were.

Yuk.

[Bahbah]

Timmy works and works to get Newt to say that Hillary! can win and finally succeeds.

[mathluv]

bor is so arrogant and shameless - one of the main reasons I turned him off. It had gotten to the point the only thing he could say that I could agree with was in dealing with the child predators.

[Laverne]

Interesting you should use the nuke scenario....an individual called into scpan and asked Mueller just that question and complained that Meuller was underestimating the threat. Were you that caller? :-)

[Fishtalk]

I don't know how Ted K can stand his own fine self.

Today he's the leader of the John Kerry for President bandwagon. "This world would be a lot different if JFK were President," Ted declares without a hint of shame.

Well I guess those two dopes have to support each other but you got to wonder why they keep getting air time. I don't know of one other American who gives a flying whit what Ted K. thinks.

[Bahbah]

Timmy to Newt: Do you regret being such a nasty partisan in the past and saying mean things about democrats.

[Laverne]

I'm one of those who stay away from Fat Tim's show, so thanks for reporting that. I might peek in to Fat Tim during commericals on Reliable Sources....the only show I watch on CNN since they aired the terrorist video and called it news.

[Morgan in Denver]

Agreed. My brother sent me the BOR book last month and I just cannot read it. Pure crap and repeats all those things any Freeper already knows and understands.

[longtermmemmory]

Fox and friends said "YOU" are the Man of the Year...

(IOW the american voter who either stayed at home, the illegaly registered aliens, the useful idiots fooled by the MSM, and the 17% DNC core voter)

[Bahbah]

Timmy is very frowny today. Now he is bringing up all of Newt's "negatives" as set forth in the Atlanta paper.

[Miss Marple]

Curious that Kerry is never asked that question about his attitude towards Republicans. He has been 1000% worse about partisanship than Newt ever was.

[Bahbah]

Newt made a good point about the partisanship having now become pathological. It really is worse than it's ever been, and I put this right at the Clinton's doorstep.

[TomGuy]

Newt says that the military is the only segment of our government that works (have to agree with that), and he wants a huge "works" project for Iraq.

We probably already have a big one. One radio talkshow host a week or so previous said that we have almost as many 'private contractors' in Iraq (something like 100,000) as military.

Private contractors in war zones don't work cheap, either.

[beyond the sea]

In the old days of straight news journalism, anyone who dared interject an opinion into the "news" would have been summarily beheaded.

The other day when the "official" story first came out about Diana's death, the "news" "news" reporter on ABC broke the story by reading that her death was caused only by a drunken and speeding driver/chauffer ............ so "all of us can put all the conspiracy theories to rest". (telling the rest of us to not be concerned with any other possibility -- ala Flight 800, OKC, etc.)

How's that for objective journalism?

:-)

My guess it BOR will still make sure it's all about him and not the troops.

Like when he interviewed President Bush walking down a hall = so the camera would show BOR looming over the President, and Bush having to turn his head to look up over his shoulder to BOR. That little production trick really made me sick.
