A War We Just Might Win

SHOE-BOMB WACKO Richard Reid: Allah will free me.
Could there be a connection? No, it couldn't be, could it.

FIGHT FOR VICTORY TOUR SEPTEMBER 3RD - 15TH

Outstanding news - two previous critics of Operation Iraqi Freedom have just returned from Iraq and written a new report, "A War We Just Might Win."

Michael O'Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack, of the liberal-oriented Brookings Institute, wrote a piece in the New York Times that has opponents of the mission in Iraq in a state of shock and dismay:

"Here is the most important thing Americans need to understand: We are finally getting somewhere in Iraq, at least in military terms. As two analysts who have harshly criticized the Bush administration's miserable handling of Iraq, we were surprised by the gains we saw and the potential to produce not necessarily "victory" but a sustainable stability that both we and the Iraqis could live with."

As the media has reported today, this sets the stage for a major showdown in Washington, D.C. on September 15th when the report on "the surge" by Gen. David Petraeus is to be delivered to Congress.

Two Brookings Institution guys -- these are leftists, by the way -- saying, "Hey, we are winning in Iraq." Feingold also said, (paraphrasing) "I don't care. I don't see any evidence. I'm just not going to accept the president's word." This is going to be a big problem for the left because these two guys just got back from Iraq, they say the surge is working, it's showing great promise. It would be unconscionable, they say, to pull out of there prior to 2008. You can hear Pelosi's face crack again when she got up and read this this morning. You could probably see it crack when she read this. The left-wing blogosphere is no doubt going nuts. Maybe it's too much to hope for, but can you imagine how the attitude and the mood in this country would change if the reporting about the surge working could actually serve to help unite the people of this country behind this effort? Do you realize the difference that would make in public attitudes and moods? I know it's a long shot, because the left is already invested in defeat, as are the Democrats in Congress. But it will be interesting to see. - Rush Limbaugh

John Doe Bill / Update: John Doe Joe

July 31, 2007 Lieberman escalates attack on Iraq critics

Vigilant American "John Does" may soon be safe from lawsuits - and safer from terrorists - thanks to Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-I, Conn.) and a key provision in the security bill that cleared Congress on Friday.

It borders on the obvious: Citizens who report suspicious activity in good faith to the authorities shouldn't have to fear being sued by whoever they finger, even - indeed, especially - if they were mistaken.

Ordinary Americans have foiled terrorist plots through their good sense and vigilance - most notably the recent bid to attack Fort Dix - and national security can't afford for anything to discourage them from performing this most basic civic duty.

So when six suspiciously acting Muslim imams filed a lawsuit against the passengers whose tips to authorities had them removed from a flight last November, Congress took up the matter.

Rep. Pete King (R-L.I.) co-sponsored an amendment to a transportation-security bill (soon merged with a measure to implement recommendations of the 9/11 Commission) that would protect those passengers - and others like them - from legal liability.

The measure passed the House by a vote of 304 to 121. A similar amendment (but to a different bill) drew nearly 60 votes in the Senate it looked like what some bloggers were calling "the Death Caucus" had killed the measure, but a hero stepped forward at the last minute to save it: Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, Senate chair of the conference committee.

In concert with Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., he restored the John Doe protection to the final bill. It should go back to both houses, and then on to President Bush, in early August.

While it only applies to individuals, and thus permits the imams' suit against US Airways to proceed, that corporation is big enough to defend itself -- and it's hard to imagine a jury of Americans finding the airline guilty.

There's also an interesting sidelight to the case. Led by blogger Michelle Malkin, an Internet-based "We are John Doe" campaign developed to support the amendment.

Her "John Doe Manifesto" says in part, "Dear Muslim Terrorist Plotter/Planner/Funder/Enabler/Apologist: You do not know me. But I am on the lookout for you. You are my enemy. And I am yours.

"I am John Doe. I will act when officials ask me to 'report suspicious activity.'

"I will embrace my local police department's admonition: 'If you see something, say something.' I am John Doe.

"I will put my family's safety above sensitivity. I will put my country above multiculturalism. I will not submit to your will. I will not be intimidated. I am John Doe." A victory for common sense
And I, too, am John Doe.


So you anti-American liberal Defeatocrats don't get your panties in a knot and start spouting your hate America BS.
We know Spartacus was crucified.




JOHN DOE BILL OK'D BY DEMS
The so-called "John Doe bill" would protect the tipsters as long as they acted in good faith and didn't knowingly make false statements.

At the same time the anti-American left defeated a Republican effort to authorize $3 billion for new border security and immigration enforcement.
Dems OK John Doe, but let them in anyway. *

Their Legacy: Race Riots Doomed Detroit Forever

By Debbie Schlussel

Black Panthers and their radical allies, supported by a thousands of Black Detroiters, rioted for days, starting fires and destroying the city. They wanted more power in the city. They wanted a Black Mayor, a Black police chief, a Black city council.

Today, they have all those things. And they have nothing. They won the riots, they lost the war. And 43 people died--no, were murdered--in vain (along with countless others since). Continued

In 1984 I was a real estate agent at Veteran Real Estate.
We specialized in locating affordable housing for Military Veterans.
I received a call from a well-qualified veteran who had moved from Detroit. When I met with he and his family I asked why he left Detroit.

He told me, I was a Detroit police officer.
I had to get out. It was too dangerous for my family.

"An elderly lady would receive her social security.
Every month someone would break into her kitchen take a knife and steal her money."
"I was assigned to stake out her house at the time she received her check.
I sat in her living room and waited.
I heard glass break in the kitchen. I saw him pick up a knife.
I opened the door the rest of the way. I identified myself.
I told him to drop the knife. He came toward me waving the knife.
I shot him dead."
"It was deemed a righteous shoot only because he still had the knife in his hand and the elderly lady witnessed the shooting.
Had it not been for the witness I might be in jail myself."
"A white cop can't kill a black in Detroit without proving it was justified."
That was 1984. According to the above Schlussel Post nothing has changed. Except, maybe, there are no white cops.

Rush Limbaugh hypothetical

"I want to present a hypothetical here. I know this would not happen, but I’ll offer a compromise, the Limbaugh compromise, to the Democrats in the Senate and in the House... I will agree to pull our troops out of Iraq if you Democrats will agree to my conditions after the defeat... When al-Qa’ida celebrates after we pull out, after we admit defeat, every TV image of al-Qa’ida celebrating must be a split screen. On one side, al-Qa’ida celebrating; on the other side, I want pictures of Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer and Carl Levin smiling and congratulating themselves. When al-Qa’ida slaughters Iraqis after we pull out and we see the pictures of this on TV, every TV image must show a split screen. On one side of the screen, the bloody slaughter scenes; on the other side of the screen, pictures of smiling Harry Reid, smiling Chuck Schumer, smiling Carl Levin congratulating each other with big laughs... I think that’s a reasonable compromise, and I’ve offered it here in all sincerity. If the left will agree to this compromise, I will join them in calling for a pullout from Iraq.” ~ Rush Limbaugh

Americans Are Losing the Victory

That we are one world is unfortunately a brutal truth. Punishing the German people indiscriminately for the sins of their leader may be justice, but it is not helping to restore the rule of civilization. The terrible lesson of the events of this year of victory is that what is happening to the bulk of Europe today can happen to American tomorrow.

Rosie: I Wanted to ‘Gay Up’ Price Is Right

Unless you just arrived here on the illegal alien noon balloon and have never heard of or seen "The Price Is Right", which has been on the air since before Gore invented the Internet, - Bob Barker retired and recommended Trump's favorite person, Rosie O'Donnell to be the new host of the show.

Rosie O’Donnell recently let it be known why she was passed by when it came to being the new host of “The Price Is Right” game show.

It had been reported that the reason Rosie was not picked to replace the venerable outgoing host Bob Barker was because she would not agree to move her family from New York City to Los Angeles.

But O’Donnell explained that the real reason she didn’t get “The Price Is Right” gig was that “in the end, they turned me down because CBS thought I was too controversial, which wouldn’t have been the case.” Rosies daughter wearing a gun belt. Posted on the header of her site, Rosie.com, June 2007. Controversial, you think?
Rosie Uses ‘Armed’ Daughter to Make Political Point.

“I just wanted to ‘gay it up,’” O’Donnell shared. “I wasn’t going to give away a TV set and rant, ‘So you can watch George Bush and Dick Cheney lie to America on it!’”

Rosie claimed that she was going to substitute Broadway chorus guys for the famous female models and also planned to give the set a makeover.

Despite the host-duty rebuff, Rosie will still be appearing on the little screen. She’s headed back to FX's “Nip/Tuck” show and will appear in several episodes of the series as a recurring character with a lot of money, a desire for surgery aplenty and a crush on one of “Nip/Tuck”’s docs.

For the public’s digital well-being, perhaps FX can schedule a Rosie O-ectomy. From The Left Coast Report

John O'Hurley might be the new host of The Price Is Right
Now they will still be able to say "Come On Down!"
Rather than another catch phrase.

Perturbed Reid Chastises ABC's Tapper for Questioning Withdrawal

Responsible Redeployment from Iraq Act Final Vote Results
This is too good.
ABC's Jake Tapper on Thursday night raised the prediction “genocide” will result after a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq, a forecast Tapper put to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at a Capitol Hill news conference: “Do you think the Iraqi people will be safer with U.S. troops out?” Reid didn't respond to the point, leading Tapper to retort in the exchange played on World News: “You didn't answer my question.” A perturbed Reid, presumably not used to challenging questions from the Washington press corps, chastised Tapper: “This isn't a debate. We're answering questions.” Tapper then repeated his question -- “Will the Iraqis be safer?” -- but Reid ignored him and moved on: “Anyone else have a question?”

Tapper's story ran a night after Wednesday's World News featured a report from Terry McCarthy in Iraq on how General David Petraeus, commander of all multi-national forces in Iraq, “is still very optimistic about the military battle, if the politicians give him enough time.” (July 11 NewsBusters item)

JAKE TAPPER: Some foreign policy experts predict that such a U.S. withdrawal could unleash genocide against innocent Iraqis. It's a subject Democrats do not want to discuss.

TAPPER TO REID AT PRESS CONFERENCE: Do you think the Iraqi people will be safer with U.S. troops out?

REID: It is clear that the Iraqi people don't want us there. It is clear that there is now a state of chaos in Iraq. And it is up to the Iraqi people to make themselves safe.

[Edit jump]

TAPPER: With all due respect, Senator, you didn't answer my question.

REID: This isn't a debate. We're answering questions.

TAPPER: Will the Iraqis be safer?

REID: Anyone else have a question?

TAPPER: This week's renewed push to withdraw troops, two months before General Petraeus reports to Congress on the progress of the surge strategy, has Republicans saying these votes are more about politics than national

Time Magazine Decapitates President/Troops in Photo

Melanie Morgan has written an outstanding column that explains why the House's vote to surrender in Iraq is an awful, terrible, and yes LETHAL mistake.

Comments found on the web.
How nice! Nancy Pelosi, who has accomplished nothing more momentous than a minimum wage bill, has passed (in the House) another one of her inane and vacuous benchmark bills --- like those benchmarks mandating that the Iraqi government get more accomplished (under much more difficult conditions) than Pelosi and her House democrats have (or will).

If she really wanted to be useful, she should pass a bill mandating more civility from her friends in the Syrian and Iranian governments.

Their plan is to make heros and honor these "people"... they blame us for "making them terrorists"... to those IDIOTS, the terrorists are up there with the Freedom Fighters (MLK jr, etc) ... OMG, how insane!!

They aren't BOLD enough to say it, but they do in so many words: In their opinion, 9/11/2001 was "justifiable homicide"... when the next strike happens we should LYNCH Reid, Pelosi, Murtha, et al.... NOT JOKING! Swift justice.

A new name for the Democrat Party should be: "DEFEATOCRATS"!

Sheehan Gunning For Pelosi

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP)
Cindy Sheehan bid farewell to her former "peace camp" near President Bush's ranch and began a nearly two-week trek Tuesday toward Washington, D.C., with her sights set on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Sheehan, a Californian, officially announced that she intends to run as an independent against Pelosi in 2008 if the San Francisco congresswoman doesn't move to impeach Bush by July 23, the day she expects to reach Washington.

"I know what Californians care about," Sheehan said. "They don't care about the ruling power elite." BreitBart.com

Comments from around the web.
One anti-American wacko going after another.
The Dimmocrats won't know which to vote for.

Stretch is going to have one hell of a problem getting to the left of Sheehan to keep the all-important San Francisco moonbat vote and save her seat and career. ~ John

Stossel Responds to Kennedy's Attacks

On Wednesday's Your World with Neil Cavuto, FNC's Cavuto hosted both ABC's John Stossel and environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to discuss Kennedy's charge, from the stage of Saturday's "Live Earth" concert in New Jersey, that the ABC anchor, as well as Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity, have been "lying" about global warming and are "toadies" for corporations.

Stossel charged that some of Kennedy's comments about the environment are "silly" and brought up a number of big scares that have been promoted in recent years, some by environmentalists, that have turned out not to materialize. Asked by Cavuto if ignoring the issue may make it worse, Stossel responded: "Well, it's possible. And it's possible that the killer bees were going to come up and sting us all to death, and that Y2K was going to crash all the planes, and that the pesticides that his organization [Natural Resources Defense Council] is so upset about were causing the cancer epidemic, and the frog testicles were shrinking, were going to make us all sterile. The scares from the environmental groups have just come one after the other. None has been true." Stossel Responds to Kennedy's Attacks

Comments
Another example how a liberal keeps his mouth moving without saying anything--and when they do say something, its nonsense.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a convicted felon and a recovered heroin addict, the affects of which left him with obvious speech problems and a few less synapses. He stole the Riverkeeper organization out from under its founders to use for his own personal political agenda. He drives a beat up old Caravan mini-van that probably gets 12 mpg and flies everywhere on private planes.

The man is a psychotic basketcase who truly thinks he can get elected to anything he wants. The family tries to keep him under a watchful eye and make sure he does as little as possible to embarass the family, which he still tends to do.

The Fairness Doctrine - Liberals can't handle the truth

PLAN TO RESTORE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE STILL ON TRACK:
Liberal efforts to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine are "completely on track," and Democrats intend to push for the measure by linking talk radio to "hate crimes," according to a conservative media analyst.
Read more here.

Rush was the clear pioneer for what is now a large and competitive industry—and the talk radio industry is, indeed, led by voices whose views are from the center-right. Frustrated by this enclave of strength, Senator Durbin says in no uncertain terms, "It's time to reinstitute the Fairness Doctrine. I have this old-fashioned attitude that when Americans hear both sides of the story, they're in a better position to make a decision." So Senator Durbin can't hear his side of the story from ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, Time, Newsweek, The New York Times or The Washington Post? Article

Liberals have talk radio. They call it Progressive Media. They have no audience so they want equal time on Rush, Hannity, and all conservative talk radio.

Chrysler, Chevy agree to export Chinese cars to U.S.

BEIJING - The next Made-in-China export bound for the United States: cars.
Chrysler Group signed a deal Wednesday with China's biggest automaker, Chery, to launch a low-cost production venture that could export the first Chinese-made cars to the United States.

Chinese imports have been the subject of a flurry of consumer recalls in recent months. In April, tainted ingredients from China resulted in the largest pet food recall in U.S. history, and 1.5 million Chinese-made toys were recalled when lead was discovered in the paint. More than two dozen Chinese-made toothpaste brands laced with a poisonous chemical have been banned by the Food and Drug Administration. The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration is advising a recall of up to 450,000 tires made by one of the largest Chinese tire manufacturers. Last week, the FDA banned five types of Chinese seafood. List of Problem Chinese Imports

Are we to believe the Chinese Cars will be problem free?
In another year the Chinese Cars will be added to the list.
It will turn out to be the next generation In A YUGO

PELOSI PASSES THE BUCK

Bella Pelosi says Republican obstructionism as the reason the Democrats haven't accomplished anything!

Congress has an approval rating in the mid-20s, lower than Bush's and no better than Republicans' ratings on the eve of their catastrophic election defeat in November, when the GOP lost control of the Senate and the House.
Keep up the good work, San Fran Nan.
