Dems Use Senate to Launch BHO Campaign

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 11:48:08 -0500

I find it fascinating that the US Senate Intelligence Committee denounced President Bush as misrepresenting the Intel given him that he used to convince Congress to invade Iraq.

Here is the fascinating thing: All the Left Democrats and two RINO Republicans (RINO = Center Left to Fringe Left) put their name on the Senatorial condemnation and the rest of the Republicans (including the ranking Republican on the Committee) denounced the Senate Intelligence Committee denunciation of President Bush.

Yes friends it is a pure ploy by the Cut-n-Run Party to give ammunition to their Democratic nominee to sway the public to NOT look at Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s bona fide connection to Marxism. O YES: The kind of Marxism that wishes to over turn the American Way of life!

President Bush’s invasion of Iraq may have used Intelligence meant to make him look bad; nonetheless the tyrant Saddam HUSSEIN was a supporter of terrorism even if that support could not be directly linked to al Qaeda. Let’s see, let me count the ways: HUSSEIN was a genocidal butcher of Sunni enemies, Shiite faithful and Kurds. He used chemical WMD on his own citizens and attempted to build a weapons grade nuclear site that only the Israelis had the cajones to prevent.

So if HUSSEIN did not have WMD, pick another reason. He had to go! If only the West would wake up about the rogue nations supporting or allowing Islamist terrorists to function in their reign of terror for whatever chauvinistic Islamic reason that can be come with.

Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s solution is to talk with Islamists who are noted for lying to stall for time to accomplish an agenda. O yes, this is where I bring up the much Leftist denounced Hitler/Nazi card. It may be cliché by now however it is cliché because it is true. Appeasement brings war, it does not prevent it. Neville Chamberlain and Adolf Hitler and the Munich Agreement AGAIN are the historical proof.

So I say to the Senate Intelligence Committee: Pull up your pants legs for there is a load of horse manure being politicized to aid Barack HUSSEIN Obama and by association with President Bush, make Senator John McCain appear to have rolled out the manure.

I pray that McCain is wise enough to demonstrate just how much manure is plastered Barack HUSSEIN Obama.

Patraeus Highlights

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Tue, 08 Apr 2008 11:32:16 -0500

General David Patraeus 3

I have impressed myself by stumbling upon a post of General Patraeus’ opening statement before Congress Today.

I am sure the grilling is in process by the Dems even as my fingers plunk my keyboard. Nevertheless, the Patraeus opening statement is powerful and for the Dems to criticize the accomplishments the General has overseen would be politically petty to pander to the anti-war movement and the poor Americans that believe the propaganda of the Mainstream Media.

Anyway, enough of my frustration of the delusional Left. READ General Patraeus’ opening statement:

Patraeus Highlights

From Petraeus's opening statement:

· Security in Iraq is better than it was when Ambassador Crocker and I reported to you last September, and it is significantly better than it was 15 months ago when Iraq was on the brink of civil war and the decision was made to deploy additional US forces to Iraq. A number of factors have contributed to the progress that has been made.

· First, of course, has been the impact of increased numbers of Coalition and Iraqi Forces. You are well aware of the U.S. surge. Less recognized is that Iraq has also conducted a surge, adding well over 100,000 additional soldiers and police to the ranks of its security forces in 2007 and slowly increasing its capability to deploy and employ these forces.

· A second factor has been the employment of Coalition and Iraqi Forces in the conduct of counterinsurgency operations across the country, deployed together to safeguard the Iraqi people, to pursue Al Qaeda-Iraq, to combat criminals and militia extremists, to foster local reconciliation, and to enable political and economic progress.

· Another important factor has been the attitudinal shift among certain elements of the Iraqi population. Since the first Sunni “Awakening” in late 2006, Sunni communities in Iraq increasingly have rejected AQI’s indiscriminate violence and extremist ideology. These communities also recognized that they could not share in Iraq’s bounty if they didn’t participate in the political arena. Over time, Awakenings have prompted tens of thousands of Iraqis—some, former insurgents—to contribute to local security as so-called “Sons of Iraq.” With their assistance and with relentless pursuit of Al Qaeda-Iraq, the threat posed by AQI—while still lethal and substantial—has been reduced significantly.

· The recent flare-up in Basrah, southern Iraq, and Baghdad underscored the importance of the ceasefire declared by Moqtada al-Sadr last fall as another factor in the overall reduction in violence. Recently, of course, some militia elements became active again. Though a Sadr standdown order resolved the situation to a degree, the flare-up also highlighted the destructive role Iran has played in funding, training, arming, and directing the so-called Special Groups and generated renewed concern about Iran in the minds of many Iraqi leaders. Unchecked, the Special Groups pose the greatest long-term threat to the viability of a democratic Iraq.

· Al Qaeda’s senior leaders, who still view Iraq as the central front in their global strategy, send funding, direction, and foreign fighters to Iraq. Actions by neighboring states compound Iraq’s challenges. Syria has taken some steps to reduce the flow of foreign fighters through its territory, but not enough to shut down the key network that supports AQI. And Iran has fueled the violence in a particularly damaging way, through its lethal support to the Special Groups.

· As we combat AQI, we must remember that doing so not only reduces a major source of instability in Iraq; it also weakens an organization that Al Qaeda’s senior leaders view as a tool to spread its influence and foment regional instability. Usama bin Ladin and Ayman al-Zawahiri have consistently advocated exploiting the situation in Iraq, and we have also seen AQI involved in destabilizing activities in the wider Mid-east region.

· Together with the Iraqi Security Forces, we have also focused on the Special Groups. These elements are funded, trained, armed, and directed by Iran’s Qods Force, with help from Lebanese Hezbollah. It was these groups that launched Iranian rockets and mortar rounds at Iraq’s seat of government two weeks ago, causing loss of innocent life and fear in the capital, and requiring Iraqi and Coalition actions in response. Iraqi and Coalition leaders have repeatedly noted their desire that Iran live up to promises made by President Ahmedinajad and other senior Iranian leaders to stop their support for the Special Groups. However, nefarious activities by the Qods Force have continued, and Iraqi leaders now clearly recognize the threat they pose to Iraq. We should all watch Iranian actions closely in the weeks and months ahead, as they will show the kind of relationship Iran wishes to have with its neighbor and the character of future Iranian involvement in Iraq.

Moralnihilist has His Say, I Have Mine

nobody@vox.com(theway2k) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 09:50:54 -0500

Moral Exhibition of the Left 1 DT Devareaux

I operate many blogs, some of a social nature and a few are just blogs for anyone to show up. My pet blog is SlantRight.com. My son has purchased the rights to the name and operates it on his servers for me for free. It is the Dad discount.

I rarely spread comments from one blog to the others; however I received a comment from “More Democrat ‘aid and comfort’ to the enemy” on my Mindsay blog which is more of a social blog. The comment was made by a person that goes by the moniker of Moralnihilist. Moralnihilist said little but it irked me a lot. So I am sharing my distinct charm around in my reply.

Moralnihilist said:

The purpose of the Iraq war was to line the pockets of George W Bush's oil buddies, nothing more. There were no weapons of mass destruction. Iraq was no threat. ...

We've already spent 10 times what we spent in Vietnam, and the cost in lives has been tragic.

I guess Ann Coulter is correct: Liberals Lie!

The Dems and Bush reacted to the same Intelligence of the time. Even President Clinton understood that Saddam Hussein was dangerous but did not have the cajones to do what GW did. Clinton's awareness of Iraq and transnational terrorists may never be completely known because the treasonous Dem used his security clearance to destroy classified material related to Clinton.

Whether or not the validity of WMD in Iraq is actual or mystified is irrelevant. The fact remains Hussein has shown in the past no hesitation to attack his neighbors for hegemonic gain and profit (with Iran the US aided him and with Kuwait we were against him). This is not to mention the brutality that Hussein and his psycho-sons inflicted on Iraqi citizens. Even now in 2008 mass graves of slaughtered men, women and children are haphazardly stumbled upon.

The only reason the U.S. does not send a military force to remove the butchering Arab Muslims from Sudan is the Islamic world would wrongly perceive it as an attack on Islam. Western nations even with the potential of their combined power to remove the current Sudanese government fear the Islamic reaction (The West is dominated by Left Wing cowering dhimmis). The genocide against Black Muslims in Darfur and Black Christians in Southern Sudan is enough reason to take out the regime. It is a demonstration of dhimmification of the U.N. and the protection of Communist Chinese that such action is not even close to being a consideration.

As far as oil goes: duh!! Are you an American or a dimwitted American? Islamists (though a growing minority in the Middle East) run the perceptions of America. If Islamists control oil in Iraq as well as oil in Iran and the Saudi Monarchy is a sneeze away from joining the Shah of Iran's fate. How do you think the National Interests of America would be affected if Islamists controlled the life blood of the World's economy? Can you say convert or no oil? That would mess up the Dems utopian delusional vision on how we should respect what happens in another nation's internal affairs.

As for the Iraq and Vietnam comparisons, the only thing valid that you have asserted is the unpopularity (forged into the minds by a Leftist MSM ignoring other facts and the Dems exploiting the non-reported facts) of the Iraq War in America.

So in essence Moralnilhilist, you are full of manure. I leave it to you decide what kind.
