'Fallon reportedly told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chicken s--t" and added, "I hate people like that."'

This is kind of interesting; about a year ago, I wrote a letter to the Star describing our Mr. Johnson in much the same way but without the vulgarity. I was rewarded with a letter FROM the editor saying that there is no need to insult his columnist. But now Johnson feels the need to insult General Petraeus in vulgar terms; I guess he can safety do that since the general is 1,000 (and possibly 10,000 miles away.)

And in typical fashion, Johnson begins his column by parroting the usual lies of the left:

"Americans were asked to forget the president's claim that Iraq was involved in the Sept. 11 attack on this country, that he said he had a plan for Iraq and that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. None of those assertions were true."

Johnson forgets the Clinton admin claim that Iraq was involved in the February 26th WTC attack 8 years earlier.

RE: the “ass-kissing” remark, when does a commander publicly repudiate his immediate subordinate? Pace and Fallon should have showed a united front by sitting right behind Petreaus during his Congressional hearings instead of hiding out in the dysfunctional joint command structure.

Gen. Petraeus' superior, Adm. William Fallon, chief of the Central Command, is cited in the Asian Times as having derided Petraeus as a sycophant during their first meeting in Baghdad in March. Fallon reportedly told Petraeus that he considered him to be "an ass-kissing little chicken s--t" and added, "I hate people like that"

That sophomoric quote is highly unlikely to come from anyone who is chief of Central Command. That's a sad smear on both men for him to have included that in his opinion peice.

David Johnson forgot to mention Impeachment and how President Bush steals candy from little children...other than those omissions, he nailed all the other moonbat talking points.

I love the Left going stark raving mad over Iraq. The American people should see just how invested in defeat and out-right anti-Americanism they are. The fact is good news doesn't have the slightest effect on how they hate George W. Bush. In truth, such news sends them running for the cliffs. After a bad two years, its a great time to be a conservative and a Republican again.

CHICAGOLAND PING (featuring the former mayor of the great city of Harvey, David Johnson)

Sen. Cornyn was just attacked by his senatorial opponent, Rick Noriega, the left-wing open border nut who passed a law to require Texas to subsidize illegal aliens seeking to apply to Texas colleges Noriega says "we knew that the Petraeus Report was going to show that the surge operations had not been successful." This just shows what a tool Noriega is on national security. Noriega is flat wrong. Obviously, he didn't read the Report before he blabbered about it. "General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker said in their testimony today that they believe the surge has been successful so far." This should come as no surprise to anyone who reads the newspapers. Noriega tried to score political points with his left-wing by picking a fight with Homeland Security: Gov. Rick Perry's Office of Homeland Security is planning an intensified, nonstop border enforcement program that will tap the $110 million that state lawmakers approved in the spring for border security. The operation calls for two years of continuous patrols involving law enforcement agencies along the Texas border with Mexico, according to planning documents reviewed by the San Antonio Express-News. ... The governor and McCraw have claimed success from past operations by pointing to double-digit reductions in criminal activity and apprehensions of undocumented entrants in border counties. But those measures have been challenged as unscientific. McCraw said the office is working on the means to collect data such as crime reports, apprehension numbers and fluctuations in the street cost of drugs. A panel to be appointed in the coming weeks by the governor will oversee progress and recommend any changes in how the state tax money is being spent. "We need to be judged, quite frankly, and we will be," McCraw said. Republican state Sen. John Carona, who sits on the transportation and homeland security committee, counts himself among those who question whether past short-term enforcement programs have yielded any lasting impact. ... Since 9-11, more than 5,700 undocumented immigrants from more than 40 countries deemed national security threats have been caught trying to cross U.S. borders, many using smuggling organizations, an Express-News series published in May found. "The same thing that generates crime also generates the national security threat," McCraw said. "It's the organized smuggling activities related to human trafficking that presents the national security threat." ... One frequent challenger of the provision, Rep. Rick Noriega, D-Houston, who ultimately voted for the governor's homeland security bill and commanded a National Guard unit on the border, said he is frustrated that Texas taxpayers are being billed twice for border security programs. Noriega wants to turn over all border security to the National Guard in Laredo, but in his campaign announcement, ""Noriega opted not to play up was his experience on the border as part of his National Guard duty." Can anyone guess why Noriega didges this issue? Could it be that the human trafficking border insecurity scandal in the Laredo Texas National Guard Noriega was boasting about?: Two Texas National Guard soldiers today admitted helping smuggle illegal immigrants through a Border Patrol checkpoint. Sergeant Julio Pacheco of Laredo and Sergeant Clarence Hodge Junior of Houston pleaded guilty to conspiracy to transport illegal immigrants. Both soldiers face up to ten years in prison."

Yet another leftist moonbat hit piece that starts off immediately will bold faced LIES.

I bet these vile Bush and America haters actually froth at the mouth like a mad dog as they type their trash.

Johnson is obviously on drugs or simply deranged...maybe both.

On Thursday night President Bush and Republican presidential candidates Rudolph Giuliani and John McCain asked the American people to set aside their sense of history and common sense.

Democrats are afraid to face up to history's lessons.

In 1945, we first freed S. Korea, from decades of Japanese occupation.

Unfortunately, a calamitous mistake in judgment led Truman to withdraw too many of our troops from the young, militarily weak and politically unstable S. Korea

By 1949, most of our troops were out of S. Korea.

The ill-begotten troop-withdrawal in 1949 led to the deaths of 30,000 Americans in the last 30 months of Truman's presidency (from July 1950 to January 1953).

They fought in a war which would not have occurred if Truman had made the right decision and kept our troops in S. Korea for more than 4 years.

Don’t ya just love the hatred that President Bush exposes in the Rats?? They hate any leader that loves his Country, God and Military. It multiplies when the military is obviously going to win.
