Fox News: NYC Protests got well UNDER 100,000 people!
Fox News | February 15, 2003

Posted on 02/15/2003 12:13:01 PM PST by Dont Mention the War

A reporter at the UN just reported that the Manhattan protests got nowhere *near* the 100,000 they were predicting, big empty holes in the specified protest area, and sporadic arrests. It's already broken up because they never got to critical mass.

A total failure!

Well, THANK YOU for showing up and supporting our military and administration!

Dale Jr. just won the Busch race in Daytona in front of almost that many. ;-)

I thought the Busch series was the minor leagues. What was he doing in that? (My interest in NASCAR is pretty new.)

That aerial picture of the park with two large groups -- I estimate to 20-40 thousand people, based on sampling a smaller part of it. Not a hi-res picture, that's a ballpark estimate.

the minor leagues. What was he doing in that?

Yes, practice.

Since there are restrictions on practice, lots of Winston Cup drivers also run some Busch races. Each driver can accumulate points in only one series toward it's championship though.

The enemies of America both inside and out will do anything they can to stop this war. No matter what they try they will fail. The troops are nearly in place. Dubya will not back down. Indeed he cannot. Ending this war would end Dubya’s power. You look into Dubya’s eyes and decide if you think he sent those troops to play chicken. His words to the troops sound like the words of a man who knows that some of those people will die, and others be required to do horrible and terrible things to other human beings. Dubya’s words did not sound like the laughter we heard from Osama on videotape, as he explained how the 19 hijackers didn’t even know they were all going to die on 9-11.

Sometime between Jan 20th 2001 and the day congress passed authorization Dubya and the Joint Chiefs decided to remove Saddam. It is entirely possible that Dubya has been thinking about this even before he was elected, but once he saw our intelligence information Saddam’s fate was sealed. When we started moving troops a date or range of dates for execution was already set. Since there is no war yet the date chosen has not arrived.

It is likely that some moves are yet to be played before we take the king in this fascinating game of global chess. What those moves might are not apparent to me. They could be political or military.

If Dubya feels the economy can take more uncertainty I hope he waits another month. Right now the ‘rats are ripping themselves to shreds. The ‘rat leadership can read polls. They know that defeat lays ahead for those who speak loudly about how they hate America. The left does hate America but the moderate ‘rats don’t. When the war starts and ends flawlessly those fractures will deepen. The left will be further ostracized and even more angry with America and their own complacent ‘rat leadership. Moderates will have had their eyes opened and the enemies of America will no that they cannot find protection even with allies in the UN or NATO. HALLELUJAH!

Dubya has an uncanny ability to position his opponents into demanding Dubya gets what he wants. Dubya first began leaking that Iraq was next during the war in Afghanistan he then named Iraq as part of the Axis of Evil. He kept talking about Iraq and how they were in violation of the cease-fire so Dubya had congressional approval already from Congress in 1990 when they approved force for his father. The ‘rats said, “Dubya has to get Congressional approval again.” Dubya said he already had all the authorization he need from the 1991 UN resolution. The ‘rats started screaming, “Dubya has to get Congressional approval!!!” Dubya ignored them until the rats demanded he come to congress and explain. So he did and they gave him approval.

Then the ‘rats said “Dubya has to get the approval from the UN.” Dubya told them he had all the authority he needed because the cease-fire treaty was broken. The ‘rats screamed louder and Dubya kept ignoring them until the ‘rats were apoplectic…then he got the unanimous UN Security Council resolution.

The rats demanded Dubya explain Iraq to the American voters. He did a spectacular job.

Rats are now demanding another UN resolution. They take comfort in polls that show a majority of Americans support another UN resolution and they ignore the polls that show 70% approval for both Dubya and action in Iraq. Dubya will try getting UN approval for the citizen of America. If he doesn’t only the left will be disappointed. Since Dubya has asked for another resolution he likely feels confident he will get it. Dubya has said all along that he had all the approval he needs. His case has only gotten stronger since congress, the UN, and the American voters in Nov gave him even more approval.

The war on Saddam has already been won, it just hasn’t played out yet. . I am not distracted by the cacophony from the left, in fact I welcome it. The louder the rats get the weaker they are. When I hear Dick Gephardt calling Dubya a coward and foot-dragger I will know it is time to fill up my gas tank because it is going to be a scary weekend when the shots are fired.

I made my guess for Iraq as Mar 17 on the prediction thread. I see little reason to change that date.

Maybe I missed it, but were there these kinds of protests when we dropped bombs on Serbia?

No, because we were killing ethnically Euro-White Christians.

An action that would cause the self hating left to celebrate.
