You're right on everything except Iraq. Clinton maintained the no fly zones and bombed the hell out of Iraq when politically necessary (see the impeachment bombings.)

The same day. Thats how long it took to blame Bush. I thought we would not see this from the filthy NY Slimes until Monday or so and just see this kind of garbage in the Nation, DU, and such today. My wife said that this evening the MSM would be blaming Bush.

We could not have won WWII with today's press.

It wasn't a catastrophic attack so the customary faux mourning period by the left has been abbreviated to just a couple hours.

Maybe we could not have won WWII with that anchor, but we will win this one. We really have no other choice.

Articles call them terrorists today when yesterday they were militants or something nicer.

The Times's and their ilk's treasonous defeatism may get shriller as their numbers get fewer.

It is a war and we will win.

The last 2 days we had a workshop with a number of our London colleagues and we were having a lovely time celebrating London winning the Olympics (and
the French LOSING) and now this dreadful news of those bombs. They were very matter of fact and recalled the IRA bombings and wanted to get on to business once they knew all their families were fine.

They don't call it Great Britain for nothing.


I also found a few of Andrew Sullivan's posting very uplifting. I especially liked his 1939 quote of C.S. Lewis about the importance of living life fully, especially during dangerous times ...

"I think it important to try to see the present calamity in a true
perspective. The war creates no absolutely new situation: it simply
aggravates the permanent human situation so that we can no longer ignore it.
Human life has always been lived on the edge of a precipice. Human culture
has always had to exist under the shadow of something infinitely more
important than itself. If men had postponed the search for knowledge and
beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun... The
insects have chosen a different line: they have sought first the material
welfare and security of the hive, and presumably they have their reward. Men
are different. They propound mathematical theorems in beleaguered cities,
conduct metaphysical arguments in condemned cells, make jokes on scaffolds,
discuss the latest new poem while advancing to the walls of Quebec, and comb
their hair at Thermopylae. This is not panache: it is our nature."

Keep living well and let's all try to show that "London Pride".

O'Reilly was all over the NYT tonight like white on rice. He was enraged that the Slimes keeps calling Al Zarqawi a "Jordanian fighter" instead a terrorist and murderer of innocents.

O'R is pointing out how the Slimes is sanitizing everything and everybody on the terrorist side......and he's going to go into more detail on this fish wrap tomorrow night.

The anti-American NYT has become totally out of control.

Yes, we have no choice. Losing is not an option.

kristinn,

Did they change the headline after you posted this? Tonight at 10:30pm Central time, the headline is:

Blair's Rising Star Runs Into a Treacherous Future

It's hard to believe the NY Times is published a short subway ride away from Ground Zero.

THANKS, GLAD TO HEAR THAT!!!

The Spaniards are such a bunch of pathetic wimps the way they turned tail and ran like a bunch of yellow belly sissy. Wonderful to hear the English still have some BAWLS!

Alan Cowell is one of those despicable creatures who can blandly watch his fellow creatures being blown to bits and draw only the lesson "see, I told you so." He and the NY Times deserve one another.

That's what makes stories like this one so aggravating to read. The bodies aren't cool and yet the left is crawling over them to gain political advantage.

Wow, you said it so well! I think that I will post it again.

That's what makes stories like this one so aggravating to read. The bodies aren't cool and yet the left is crawling over them to gain political advantage. I was hestitant to even mention the political repurcussions of the events, but the left never hesitates.

Yes, they changed it. It might not have been from it being criticized here, though. The headline was so overwhelmingly bad that I'm sure others complained directly to them.

I think Islam is the international version of "need level of death" which the left requires.

Just like bill clinton needed a certain amount of death in the USA in order to get feel good legislation pushed.

Islam is just a useful deathtoy for the left. They actuall FEAR victory, they don't want victory because victory means the left has to boogyman to keep pointing to.
