The only thing that can stop American power now

This was the real shock and awe, and it is being absorbed by every dictator on the planet. Warfare is different now. America's technological edge needs only two things to make it lethal: political will and public support.

Those two things, as long as this president remains in power, are now in place. Bush's approval ratings are close to 80%. Most Americans needed no legal case to see the connection between Iraq and 9/11. They knew their vulnerability; and they knew Saddam's malevolence and his goal of getting the most destructive weapons known to man. Case closed. The anti-war movement never gained traction. This matters. The only thing that can stop American power now is American resistance.

Andrew Sullivan: America sets the agenda for wars of the future

To be more explicit:
The only thing that can stop American power now is a Democratic president.


Either they are obsolete… or civilization is Q ERTY8 BUMP!

President's Remarks
video image view

This country has many challenges. We will not deny, we will not ignore, we will not pass along our problems to other Congresses, to other presidents, and other generations. (Applause.) We will confront them with focus and clarity and courage...

Sending Americans into battle is the most profound decision a President can make. The technologies of war have changed; the risks and suffering of war have not. For the brave Americans who bear the risk, no victory is free from sorrow. This nation fights reluctantly, because we know the cost and we dread the days of mourning that always come.

We seek peace. We strive for peace. And sometimes peace must be defended. A future lived at the mercy of terrible threats is no peace at all. If war is forced upon us, we will fight in a just cause and by just means -- sparing, in every way we can, the innocent. And if war is forced upon us, we will fight with the full force and might of the United States military -- and we will prevail. (Applause.)

I'll bet that Mr. Bedard is a member of "one of those groups" so "obsessed" with voting in the clintons that they--ooops!-- failed to notice the obvious danger of the lovely couple.

 
Thanx for 9/11, Paul...

PRESIDENT CLINTON: "Senator, I know your crowd is for privatizing Social Security, so I'm not surprised you also want to privatize the U.N."

MUDBOY SLIM: Bill, you IGNORANT SLUT!! The RightWing don'wanna "privatize the U.N.", we wanna ignore it and de-legitimize it, and get it outta this Country...NOW!!!

Tiny Li'l Willard: "No one says the U.N. is perfect, but perfect or not isn't it good for America -- in a war against terror -- to have allies?"

MBS: Slick, thou speaketh with forked tongue...America will ALWAYS have allies as long as there are FReedom-Loving peoples accross the Globe!! The U.N. is Counter-Productive to the Forces of Liberty!!

Slick, the EX-Traitor-in-Chief: "Yes, it can be frustrating -- like when I had to work with a Republican Congress. But the U.N. has already passed a strong resolution on Iraq. And while legally, President Bush doesn't need another one, wouldn't it be better to have one, adopting Prime Minister Blair's disarmament deadlines? That might cause Saddam to disarm without military action. At least we'd have more support if invasion comes."

Mr. Slim: "Slick, YER a hypocritical PUNK!! You IGNORED Terrorism fer Eight FRiggin' Years...and yer MINION IDIOT Successor-to-be Algore gits WHUPPED in his own home state to lose the Presidency...and you want Dubyuh and the American people to IGNORE LeftWingTerrorists fer his term, too?! You ain't Slick, PUNK, yer just a Bull$#!+-Babblin'BaFOOOOOON!!

SENATOR DOLE: "I just don't agree."

MUD: Senator, with all due respect to my fellow Kansan, SHADDDDUUUUUPPPP!!

PRESIDENT CLINTON: "Come on senator, when I was President, you didn't say we should invade Iraq."

MUD: SHEEEEEEEESH, dirtbag, YOU were the Commander-in-Chief!! Too bad the Chi-Coms had ya in their back pocket!! Yer a TRAITOR, dude!! Why don't you self-exile yerself to wherever the hell it is we send the United Nations packin'?!!

SlickWillie: "By the time I left office, tough sanctions, inspections and air strikes had left him far weaker than he was in the Gulf War, as I think we'll see if there's military action."

MUD: Whatever...

The EX-RAPIST-in-Chief: "No question: he must be disarmed. But let's do it in a way that unites -- not divides -- the world and gives us a last chance to avoid a bloody conflict."

MUD: Mission Accomplished!! NO THANKS to you, scumbag!!

Heh heh heh...MUD

BTW...Let America PROPOSE a NEW League of Nations...The League of FReeNations!!
