Al Qaeda's Wet Dream - One Term
By William A. Mayer, Editor & Publisher
June 4, 2002
A few weeks ago, agent provocateurs in the American press - via yet another convenient leak of an internal FBI document, provided by congressional Democrat fellow travelers - commenced the now only too familiar attack on President Bush.
Milking the opportunity, Time, Newsweek, the New York Times and the Washington Post have gone into an exquisite 3-card-Monty ruse about how “”Bush Knew” – of course absent any facts that would prove the allegation and ignoring Mr. Clinton's less than stellar stewardship of the military/intelligence apparatus charged with preventing terrorist incidents.
The disease has even affected the pointy heads at the Wall Street Journal who last week, in a fit of pique, mistakenly called for the resignation of FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III, over lapses in security, which in their wooly headed manner of thinking, somehow led to 9-11-01, despite the fact that Mueller had assumed the directorship only one week previous to the Islamic sneak attack.
This week, in a pincers operation, the New York Times - who now apparently touts its articles by feeding them first to Matt Drudge - is alleging that the Bush administration is back peddling - flip flopping - on “global warming” and by extension the Kyoto treaty. This is really Byzantine; the Times claiming that Bush is confounding them by not being as hard right as it has been alleging all along – oh well.
The Times lashes out at Bush by misrepresenting the “UN Climate Action Report 2002” [a 263 page - 5.7 MB Adobe file] - the lead-in paragraph:
“In a stark shift for the Bush administration, the United States has sent a climate report to the United Nations detailing specific and far-reaching effects that it says global warming will inflict on the American environment.”
If one takes even a few minutes to glance through the report one will see nothing of a “stark shift.”
What you will find is a thoughtful treatise on the complexities of climatology; it is no revelation nor is it capitulation that human activity has some bearing on the .6 degree C warming effect that may have been in play since 1900 – a single cow’s flatulence also has an effect – one, given the obvious spin intended by these sordid efforts disguised as journalism, possibly more salutary.
The intent here is to frame Bush as having caused 9-11 through inattention and, additionally, and having abandoned his core beliefs - thereby hoping to dishearten the conservative core of his support, a tactic which seems to be gaining traction.
The ultimate goal?
To destroy the Bush administration by any means and at all costs.
Aided in its effort to cast Bush in the worst possible light are a bevy of hot air devices, also commonly referred to as conservative radio talk show hosts [who shall here go unnamed - but you know who they are] who shifted into hyper-drive with wild crazy suppositions borne with sanctimonious scorn on the wings of their, undoubtedly superior, intellects – intellects, many of whom, having “risen” without the vexing influence of much formal education.
Lets cut to the chase.
Conservatives are on the verge of pissing away all that they have worked for, and they are doing so simply because they are reacting to headlines and stories contrived to sow internecine warfare. They are taking the bilge dished out by the DNC because, for some deep-seated pathological reason, Republicans and conservatives innately believe that their leaders will sell them out - it is almost a matter of faith. In this case they are making a preemptive strike and dropping their loyalty at the time when it is most desperately needed.
The formerly much feared conservative shock troops are now in a near autistic state of self-flagellation, which if not checked could well result in the demise of this movement and indeed this republic.
You heard me, the DEMISE of this republic – under what passes for Democrat leadership, this Nation has a less than 50-50 chance of surviving to 2010 – greenhouse gasses be damned.
Last week the Bush administration issued new surveillance guidelines allowing the FBI to monitor public Internet sites as well as attend church and political meetings to help prevent acts of terrorism.
The broadside from the ACLU was to be expected; the idiotic response on “civil liberties” grounds by the right - again driven by the lunatic element in talk radio - was not.
It was neither appreciated, called for, nor in any way justifiable.
Why now?
Ok we will tell you - the Islamic Jihad already has some version of the ATOMIC BOMB or are imminently close to having it or another similar psychologically devastating weapon of mass destruction – the actual mechanism is not that important.
That’s right, no we don’t have sources that close to the scene, but most anyone should be able to read the tea leaves.
The delivery of such a horrendous weapon, wielded against, let’s say the White House and/or Congress could conceivably throw us into a death spiral and ignite a worldwide thermonuclear exchange.
For some mysterious reason the so-called conservative movement has contracted an early onset of senile dementia - not only betraying their president in wartime but also abandoning their party when their poker hand consists of four aces.
The problem is not in the Bush administration abandoning conservative principles, the problem is that many self appointed leaders of conservatism - drawing from the Jessie Jackson/Al Sharpton playbook - are elevating their own agendas over that of this Nation.
The left would just as soon see a major commercial center nuked as lose in 2004, as long as they can lay the blame on the Republican Party.
Bottom line:
We are at war, start acting like it, those who fraudulently attack your Commander in Chief, attack your Nation, your family, and your way of life.
Suck it up, gut it out and start standing up to the left [and gently – if possible – our lost sheep on the right] to do otherwise cedes the battle to the enemy.
That is simply unacceptable.

No truer words have been spoken (in the past 24 hours, anyway.)
I will NEVER vote for or against someone for national security reasons.
I will vote because the candidate is the best man for the job.
This piece is an insult to all Americans.
National security isnt important?
okfyne
These so called Core Conservatives can commit mass suicide if they want to, however, they are not pulling me along with them.
This is why they are so upset with the soccer moms and Jewish Americans coming over to GW. The soccer moms saw what happened on 9/11, and the Jewish Americans not only saw that, they know that every Jew is earmarked for death by the Islamic thugs. So these two groups are gathering around GW for the survival of their families. The coresiders are trying to make that choice appear to be evil. This makes them even more mentally ill.
The suicidal corers hate them for this and us since 9/12 for the same reasons.
