The War Party's imperial plans

And as we all gnaw on the dessicated bones of the Old Republic we might want to take a gander at how the Republican Party is enlarging the Tent here in the Homeland:

whitey is opressing people of color just by being alive--and the Republicans wanna do something about it!!!

".. The commercial was paid for by a Republican political action committee and aired in the Kansas City area on an urban contemporary station whose listeners are predominantly black....

"You've heard about reparations, you know, where whites compensate blacks for enslaving us," the ad says. "Well guess what we've got now. Reverse reparations." The commercial says blacks earn thousands of dollars less in retirement benefits than whites because they have shorter life spans.

"So the next time some Democrat says he won't touch Social Security, ask why he thinks blacks owe reparations to whites," the ad says...."

Thanks for that link. Lind is among the best of the best when it comes to deconstructing the deconstructors (ie, Frankfurt School cultists).

an interesting column. Any idea why it was pulled? not a clue ....
I just happen to be reading it when it was pulled so it was still in my cache, there were no replies or flaming ect... something just hit the mod , did you see anything out of the way?

You are right, radical Islamists are a huge threat. That is why I support the war on terror. We need to root out radical Islamic groups wherever they may lie.

But Saddam Hussein is not a radical Islamist. He has a record of regularly killing them in his country. Radical Islamists seek the overthrow of secular regimes such as his. So your argument is a non-sequitur.

He doesn't need a missile to attack us with nukes. He just has to put the nuke in a shipping container on a boat headed for New York harbor (or Norfolk, Jacksonville, etc.). In this case, there's nothing we could do to stop the attack unless the Coast Guard happens to inspect and search that ship. I don't think we can inspect all the ships entering our ports. Please see my post #79.

Well I wonder. If Hussein were that intent on committing suicide, he could have put 20,000 pounds of plastic explosive in a shipping container anytime in the last ten years and had one hell of an explosion. He doesn't have to wait until he has a nuc. Don't we check shipping containers? Otherwise what's there to prevent people from sending in anthrax, fertilizer bombs, plastic bombs, AK-47s, mortar rounds and short range missiles?

Even if it were easy to get a weapon of mass destruction to the United States in a ship, I still don't understand what's in it for Hussein. Whatever else is wrong with the man he's not a religious fanatic dreaming of 72 virgins. He wants to be remembered for a 1000 years as the heroic leader who saved Iraq, not as the damn fool who got himself (and his country) incinerated in a retaliatory nuclear blast.

An attack with a nuke in a shipping container wouldn't necessarily be suicidal. In a really tight covert operation, there might not be enough evidence for us to figure out conclusively who attacked us. Remember, all the physical evidence would be destroyed in the blast (and I mean all of it...no truck axles left behind like in Oklahoma City). And we can't just vaporize Baghdad or any other place without conclusive evidence of their guilt. These are the scenarios that the pentagon evaluates constantly. Cheney has talked a great deal about the threat of nuclear attack and blackmail by Iraq. Don't think it can't happen just because it hasn't happened yet. The coffee's brewing my friend...take a whiff and wake up.

Hussein's religious deity is Huseein.....He simply uses Islam as a convenient tool to feed to his subjets so that in combination with brute terror, they do his bidding......And by the way, he kills anybody and everybody who stands in his way.....even family members.

Islam is really not on balance a religion...It is a despotic political system masking as a religion which is why I call it "the relgion of death."

Have a pleasant evening.
