Mel Martinez OUT, Gingrich IN.
Limbaugh on Solid Ground on 'Phony Soldiers'.
Fact is, there are thousands of 'phony soldiers' nationwide; the problem is so great that Congress passed legislation to crack down on the epidemic. Jesse MacBeth is just the tip of the iceberg.
Publications like the Army Times and Navy Times have written about phony veterans many times. A sample:
Justice Department officials in Washington state detailed Porters story, along with seven other people accused of or already convicted of being military frauds, during a news conference Friday on VA fakers. We take it seriously because this money is meant for veterans, not for fakers, James ONeill, assistant inspector general for the VAs office of investigations, told Military Times.
Read it all. Every dollar thats lost to a faker is one more dollar that cant be spent on a veteran, said ONeill, whose office is responsible for rooting out those who defraud VA.
Lott right on the money: “They’ll say it’ll make people stop smoking, but if they do stop, there’s no money and it won’t be paid for.”
Newt is doing exactly what he should be doing, making huge money(40K a speech--even more than EC I bet) and re-invigorating the base with his wisdom.
With all these Moveoverthecliff politico’s in Washington bashing Rush— I want to know where the outrage is over the leftist groups propping up the PHONEY “corporal/Army Ranger” and his lies in order to incite rage in the Arab world.
the media wants to talk about “black Water” and any other made-up scandal they can find to harm our efforts against terrorism.
It is ridiculous to claim that Bush and the war in Iraq creates terrorist....but the leftists are doing a fine job of carrying the buckets of gasoline for the terrorists to fuel the flames of inspiring terrorists......
THAT is not only UNPATRIOTIC— it is truly TREASON it its darkest form.
Bill Bennett had on NRO (lost his name for the moment)editor, and they were talking about the digraced-disbarred-expresident being upset about the "feign" outrage.
I was so pi$$ed at 7:30 AM est I had to call the show. I got through but as luck would have it, I had to wait my turn. Never was able to talk, but my point was that slick was taking the other side of the issue from the beast. She was saying the troops would have to stay, and that perception was tantalizing to the middle of the roadies. Bill coming on and taking the anti's side was cementing the fact that their hero was still on there side, no matter what the "little woman" was saying.
Thats how I see it
Whatta ya think....?
I think MTP may have just made a mistake. They have Billy Jeff with his gravelly, soft, say nothing voice carrying on.
They go to Hillary from the debate on the torture issue and she sounds tinny, harsh, nasty.
The juxtaposition did not make her look good.
I wold love that!
But it would damage his “role”— LOL!
really— his job is to reach the people who are frustrated with Republs for not being conservative enough- and the Dems frustrated with their Dems who are marching over the cliff with the MoveOn Morons....
Lott: “We were willing to spend up to $15 billion on this”
Pardon me while I go bash my head against a wall.
Exactly...
He is the only one who can do what he is doing- as well as it can be done....
I only wish he would start using his “spotlight” to give Duncan the attention he deserves...
sigh....
In fact, the Drive Bys and the Democrat will be very sure to do everything they can to down play this. This is an indication the Left has irrevocable lost the argument on Iraq.
This is a pretty major indication of victory in Iraq.

Iraq: We Want American Security Partnership
Iraq wants the U.N. Security Council to extend the mandate of the 160,000-stong U.S.-led multinational force in Iraq only through the end of 2008, then replace it with a long-term bilateral security agreement, Foreign Ministry officials said Saturday.
Aides to Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said the mandate extension for the U.S.-led coalition, due to be discussed at the end of this year, would be “the last extension for these forces.”
Iraq would then seek a long-term, bilateral security agreement with the United States like the ones Washington has with Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar and Egypt, he said.
“Iraq needs a new resolution to determine the shape of the relationship between the two countries and how to cooperate with the U.S. forces,” said Labid Abawi, a deputy foreign minister.
Zebari first disclosed the plan in an interview with the London-based Saudi-owned newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat that was published Saturday.
A resolution adopted unanimously by the U.N. Security Council on June 8, 2004, said the U.S.-led multinational force would remain in Iraq at the request of the interim government that was about to assume control of the country from the United States and Britain.
The resolution, drafted by the United States, authorizes a review of the mandate at the request of the Iraqi government every six months. The mandate last was extended for one year on Dec. 31 and expires at end of this year.
“We will ask the council to extend the mandate for another year...then our negotiations with the Security Council will be kicked off,” Zebari was quoted as saying.
“We will ask the council to include an article that allows Iraq to enter into negotiations with the United States to reach long term security agreements to meet Iraq’s security needs bilaterally,” Zebari added.
“The negotiations and talks over the security agreements will take a long time as they will cover the issues of sovereignty and immunity, the mission of these forces, Iraq’s security needs and the role of the U.S. forces in training (Iraqi forces),” he said.
Zebari said the bilateral agreement would “not set a timetable (for withdrawal of U.S. forces) ... but could include an article calls for decreasing their numbers.”
Abawi told the AP this would depend “on the situation on the ground and the readiness of the government and the army to deal with this situation.”
Last June, Iraqi legislators led by followers of a radical anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr passed a resolution requiring the government to seek parliamentary approval before asking the United Nations to extend the U.S. mandate.
The measure was approved along party lines — with Sunnis joining the bloc loyal to al-Sadr and another disaffected Shiite party to support it — and Shiite and Kurdish backers of al-Maliki’s government in opposition.
The parliamentary move could snarl the mandate renewal, as Iraqis and their legislative representatives grow increasingly disenchanted with the U.S.-backed government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
MoveOn is little more than a money pit. “Send us your money and let us do the talking.” Pretty nice racket if you can get it.
Am I the only one who thinks having BJ follow Hitlery on these talk shows is a bad strategic move?
MUAH! Great to see you!
The Driveby Media and the Left have done more for the terrorist cause than the terrorists themselves. Without the DBM’s and Left’s constant opposition to the war, I’m convinced we’d be wrapping up most operations by now.
They have our boys (and girls) blood on their hands. They really do.
You are correct the 9-12 AM Eastern slot is as tough as it gets. Overly crowded and now the Darwinian process is well under way.
Nothing personal but only the strong shall survive and that will be Laura on top(IMHO because she is far and above the best of the bunch) followed by Boortz(only since hes been there forever),Beck (only because he has a TV show) and Gallagher and Miller duking it out for basement honors(only because someone has to be at the bottom).
NBC, MSNBC politics costing their parent GE billions & the board of directors are not happy. NBC will lose GE - only matter of time.
LOL!
yeah— but that money pit seems to be gaining a lot of power when the Senate floor sounds like one of their tantrums....
