What planet does this guy come from?

[Uncle Fud]

I was gonna gig you for omitting the Barf Alert but then I realized that it's Conason, the BA is automatically implied.

[backhoe]

What planet does this guy come from?

From the planet "SpinCycle...."

A cold, dead world orbiting the star "Goron...."

[gbaker]

<> Don't worry Joe thanks to Clinton the so-called irrelevance will soon be relevant thanks to Clinton's Chinese connections. A little headstart won't hurt at all.

[truthkeeper]

The man is an idiot.

[backhoe]

Wonder what rebuttal Joe has for this?

CIA Officials Reveal What Went Wrong – Clinton to Blame

[JohnHuang2]

Mr. Conason, you, sir, are a drooling moron.

[AppyPappy]

Conason's dumb as a bag of head lice. He's answering a question that no one asked.

[Dudoight]

So far...this administration.. yada yada yada yada. Is this really appropriate at this dark hour of grief for our beloved nation? Not only is it an obvious politcal rather than rational piece of crapola, it is simply an effort to push the author's personal agenda. Again showing the short sighted, no, blind emotionality of the liberal rancor. We may have to face, in the future, the threat of missile capability from hostile antagonists which have benefitted from the leaky ship of state from the last eight years. Did you notice the sneaky way he tried to blame Bush for this attack? Lets buy this guy a one way ticket to Afghanistan or China.

Joe Conason: No Vast Missile Shield Could Have Prevented This
Joe, you idiot. A vast missile shield protects against missiles. You may as well say that a vast missile shield won't protect against all the car deaths during the course of a year or against all the deaths due to influenza during the course of a year. The fact that one thing doesn't protect against another thing doesn't mean that it's inadequate for its designed purpose.

[PLK]

This is just the very beginning of the liberal press blaming Bush for the terrorist hits. In our small town weekly, a political science professor from the private, liberal arts college here (known for its leftist leanings and one of the first small schools to start a women's study program which eventually made it a star attraction to lesbian students) was interviewed and spouted off the most amazing crap that was actually printed on the front page yesterday.

The gist of it was that this is all Bush's fault. Quotes:

"If it turns out to have been orchestrated by a Middle Eastern source, it may have grave things to say about U.S. foreign policy - especially that of the Bush administration."

"The administration is seen as tilting too much toward Israel and as caring too little about the Palestinians."

"When a recent poll revealed President Bush's unpopularity in Europe, the American media brushed it off, but that was the wrong attitude."

"...these attacks would be used in Congress to promote jingoist foreign policies and a missile defense initiative - even though missile defense wouldn't have been relevant in the attack."

And on and on. Between reading that and seeing Clinton on teevee in New York hugging and kissing weeping people on the street, I was so furious I could not fall asleep last night. I laid awake for hours fuming at this stupidity. Also, I attend graduate school at a Big 10 university and at a research team meeting yesterday, one of my professors actually said that she suspected that their WAS intelligence available about the attacks but that the Bush administration allowed them to proceed in order to shore up their budget requests for more military and CIA funding. I was speechless. Of course, she has admitted that she is a Marxist, so what else can you expect.

Even worse, she knows I am a Republican, and made a point of walking up to me during a break asking if I thought there may be problems between any of the doctoral students who are Americans and the several Middle Eastern students we have in the program. Her message was clear, she probably thought I was going to send them hateful emails or something. The truth is, we have 3 students from Jordon and 1 from Pakistan. They are all good friends of mine - her statements were ridiculous and insulting. Is the liberal mind REALLY that stupid???? Their belief in the worst stereotype of conservatives must be pervasive and deep. It's something we need to take seriously.

The Next Attack
If the terrorists had missiles, can we doubt they'd use them?

Friday, September 14, 2001 12:04 a.m. EDT

Can anyone doubt that if the terrorists behind Tuesday's attacks had had access to a ballistic missile, they would have used it? Why settle for toppling the World Trade Center if you can destroy all of New York in an instant, without having to go to the trouble of sneaking a crew over the border and arranging for pilot training in Florida?

It's hard to believe, but there are some people who think the main lesson of Tuesday's attack is that we don't need national missile defense. Vermont Senator Patrick Leahy looked at the carnage and noted that "today our threat is not a threat of somebody launching a nuclear missile against us." So because we couldn't defend against hijacked airplanes that kill thousands, we aren't supposed to defend ourselves against threats that could kill millions.

Do we still need missile defense? You better believe it. (Wall Street Journal; E-mail registration required; no fee).

[lavaroise]

KGB and friends of the KGB will always try to disrupt the algorithm of military preparedness by having liberal art people create non military thinking on military issues. I am saddened that we do not have a gag order on the media in order to not disrupt military preparadeness for WWIII. Has American leaders lost the courrage to fight?

Star wars is not only a shield, but also an offensive device, where you can explode a nuke at a laser site, take this energy and direct it with a laser light capacitor to pin point accuracy against enemy bunkers.

At this point in time of war (whether congress votes for it or not, we are at war, it is a fact that political assumptions cannot overcome, even if blind about it), offense is the only thing we can do. No shield can protect us from the enemy, that is clear. However an offensive laser system would be extremely valuable. After all, a laser is a sword, not a shield.

[lavaroise]

When he talks about unilateralism, read between the lines. He does not want America to have first strike capabilities and rights, while any half witted enemy does reserve this right to itself, especialy Russia and CHina.

[IonInsights]

Consider this -- if we completely defeat the majority of the rogue states (Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, etc.) through sustained campaign and occupation, then is the need for missle defense substantially reduced? I think there is some logic here.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Perhaps...but I know this to be true.....Our lack of stomach for what it takes to defend ourselves is known throughout the world. And that is what caused this.

As James Baker and former President GHW Bush said, it requires things that "poltie people" do not like to talk about.

I think it is time to vote every socialist democrat and RINO out of office.

Conason is a pathetic, bubba butt-lickin' idiot.

[Lazamataz]

Joe Conason, have you no shame, at long last? Have you no shame at all?

Your trying to score partisan political points as the bodies decay in the Manhattan noonday sun, makes me wonder if the world might not have been a little brighter and better, had you been on floor 93, South Tower on Tusday morning.

[Leisler]

Neither would the Marines, the Army, nor the Navy. So, ergo, get rid of them. D'oh!

[gunnedah]

He speaks of supporting our leaders and then comes out with both barrels.We could use a missle shield because I believe their are those already in this country set to attack and if they do we need to Nuke every country that hides terrorist while we fight them here.We also need to close our borders down and go to ridding this country of the illegals that are already here.This will probably be long and drawn out but if we are to save our America it needs to be done. By the way I saw the Antichrist on the news from NY last night.How did he get back into the country from Australia when the airspace was supposed to be closed?
