Terror, Mideast and hypocrisy

When suicide bombers attacked America last September, nothing could stop our retaliation.

Yet when suicide bombers attack Israel, week after week, Israel is told -- even by Americans -- to back off.

When we bombed Afghanistan, where Al Qaeda was organized, it was a mission to "smoke them out."

Mitch Albom is a left-wing, girly-mannish, politically correct, NPR wannabe; but even he gets whats going on. Will wonders never cease?

Mitch Albom is a left-wing, girly-mannish, politically correct, NPR wannabe; but even he gets whats going on.

I can testify that Mitch Albom has experienced an "epiphany" regarding the Mideast situation. I stopped listening to his show because I can now hear Sean Hannity on the Internet, but I happened to be in my car and turned on the Mitch Albom broadcast. It was weird. He sounds exactly like Hannity now.

Yet when suicide homicide bombers attack Israel

Article is right on

Don't know how old Mitch is but if he is a leftwinger then I quarrantee he would have been all over USA policy in Vietnam

The lies, propaganda and left wing news bias against Israel is EXACTLY the same thing that happened to us in Vietnam

Sad to say that the majority of American Jews and their lobbys were in on it

Wonder how they feel now that their lefty buddies in the news and other lefty groups are turning on Israel. My guess is that they are too stupid to realize the irony

True.
It is another issue that causes many to question what is going on with GWB. It is difficult to support someone who seems so hypocritical. Who pushes amnesty for illegals. Who signs a Campaign Reform bill, knowing portions are unconstitutional. Who fails to push his conservative Judicial nominee. Who fails to use his high poll numbers to confront Congress. He needs to retune his antenna. Last week his poll numbers took a most significant decline since 9/11. If he doesn't "get a clue" soon, those poll numbers will continue to decline. GWB appears to be trying to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory. Maybe he secretly wants to be a one-termer. He sure seems to be acting like it.

Look, you and I know the only reason Wilbom and some other liberls are going this route is because it's a way to criticize Bush. And Bush does need it on this issue. His stance is hypocritical. But Wilbom was probably one of the ones whining that Bush was not involved enough in trying to halt Israel's actions.

Great article. Just e-mailed Mitch commending him for it.

I wish I could say the same for CNN international news. OMYGOD it's nothing but a lineup of queer for Arafat apologists and CNN "news journalists" spinning the news, spinning the questions, spinning the answers.

When in part because of CNN's appeasement EGGING ON THE MILITANT ISLAMISTS the suicide bombers come to the U.S. do we sue CNN or burn it to the ground?

[uncbob]

He needs to retune his antenna.

HE NEED TO GET RID OF CARL ROWE

Problem is he is a politician like Nixon who really had no core beliefs and therefore became the product of his advisers and was an utter disappointment to conservatives

[uncbob]

can testify that Mitch Albom has experienced an "epiphany" regarding the Mideast situation.

But if it resolves itself ( A BIG IF ) he will be back to all the left wing causes

The Sean Hannity Show

Palestinian President Yasser Arafat (L), seen in a picture handed out by his office, meets with U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell in Arafat's Ramallah office April 14, 2002. Powell, scrambling to put his peace mission back on track, rescheduled a meeting with Arafat for today after the Palestinian leader met U.S. demands that he denounced terrorism. (Hussain Hussain/Reuters)

Arafat's office is handing out this picture - the international press is printing it. This has raised his esteem around the globe. It serves Arafart's purpose. It is destructive to Israel and the US in the propaganda war - and propaganda boosts the illiterate and hate-filled terrorists of Arafart's world. We cannot afford to lengthen this preliminary battle another day... it weakens us.

I thought he was having to live in a tiny room lit only by candles and without electricity, water, etc...

This picture sure doesn't look like a dang environment.

[CrossCheck]

I would describe the look on Colin's face as bemused disgust, at least in part caused by the intense fragrance of "Terroriste eau de Stench".

Took you all of 9 minutes - why so slow - thanks.
