Senator Harry Reid the Democrat from Nevada is coming up for reelection in 2010. Comrade Reid has done everything in political power to undermine America’s troops fighting in Iraq. Currently Reid enjoys the Democrat Party spoils of electoral victory by being the Senate Majority Leader which means that his anti-American Leftist rhetoric is joined with actual real political clout.
Since the Mainstream Media is slack on reporting on ignoble incidents publicly spoken by Leftists, I need to remind you that Senator Reid spoke these infamous words prior to “The Surge” in Iraq: “… this war is lost …”
The Slanted Right (Janet Napolitano would say right wing extremist) group known as Our Country Deserves Better (OCDB) has decided to concentrate some efforts to make Senator Reid vulnerable to an election loss in 2010.
As Senate Majority Leader, Senator Reid will be an architectural component in President Barack Hussein Obama’s Socialist Agenda to bring the kind of “Change” American voters did understand they were voting for. That change is more than diminishing part of what makes America strong – Free Market Capitalism. Indeed, that change involves a moral, social and societal transformation of America that could end Free Speech as the First Amendment originally intended and the further eroding of morality by infusing further the concept Secular Humanistic relativity.
It was two years ago today that Harry Reid proved his level of incompetence. He and his ilk of anti-Americanists and those directly responsible for the deaths and wounding of our Troops for political power and gain tried to lose the War as a whole for the express purpose of personal and professional power. They empowered, enabled and emboldened the enemy every day. They tried to lose the war 45 times and lost 45 times. You'd think that losing would make them happy because they dwell on and thrive in defeat.
Reid: "...this war is lost..." Those were his words of wisdom to We The People and the idiot is still a US Senator. What's up with that? I can only surmise that Treason is an acceptable personality flaw and political trait. (The Snooper Report)
Even if you are not from Nevada, join Our Country Deserves Better (and no doubt other Napolitano considered right wing extremists) in defeating Senator Reid’s reelection bid.

MARINE MOM WORKS TO OUST HARRY REID FROM SENATE
Hello, it's Deborah Johns, co-Vice Chairman of the Our Country Deserves Better Committee. This is an important email and I ask that you please read the entire email and if possible, please forward to your friends.
I am writing to you today to let you know that we've just updated our website with our "Defeat Harry Reid" project. I urge you to check it out and support our efforts to oust Sen. Harry Reid in the upcoming congressional elections, where Senator Reid is up for re-election: DEFEAT HARRY REID - CLICK HERE.
WHY WE ARE TARGETING HARRY REID FOR DEFEAT
As Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid has been Public Enemy #1 to the American people.
Ever since he became Senate Majority Leader spending has exploded and he has pushed through one spending plan after another. Our children and grandchildren will be burdened with trying to overcome the damage he has caused. As the mother of three sons, I can tell you this is not the legacy I was hoping our generation would leave for the future.
Reid was the one who arm-twisted those squishy RINO Republicans (Arlen Specter, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe) to vote for the $800-billion porkulus spending plan of Obama. Now Reid is lining up votes for Obama's additional deficit spending plans, just as he lined up the votes for government bailouts and tax increases.
But for me this issue is very personal. As many of you know, I have been an active leader in the pro-troop movement for the past several years. And the day that Sen. Harry Reid announced "This War is Lost" while our troops were still fighting on the battlefield, I was LIVID! (Please watch the video of Sen. Reid making an *** of himself when he falsely and erroneously declared "The Surge" and our troops a failure - WATCH IT HERE).
I don't care what your view is about the War on Terror and the various missions that have been involved. We can all debate the best way and means to fight radical Islamic terrorists. But I cannot respect a man who cheerleads for the enemy and insults our military men and women while they are in the middle of fighting a war and conducting their missions.
And newsflash to Harry Reid: you were wrong, the surge was an incredible success!
The war was not lost, and in fact our troops pushed back al-Qaeda cells throughout Iraq and brought calm and stability to over 90% of the nation thanks to Gen. David Petraeus, our troops, and "The Surge" strategy.
Friends, our country deserves better than to have the U.S. Senate led by a man who has been disastrous to our nation's fiscal health; who has helped advance a socialistic policy of government control of parts of our economy, and who has acted disgracefully towards our military men and women.
The past few days everyone has been talking about what's next for the Tea Party movement. Well, obviously we need to vote out those politicians who are harming our country's future. And I can think of no better place to start than by defeating Sen. Harry Reid. Polls show he is in serious trouble in his home state of Nevada, and I promise you that we here at the Our Country Deserves Better Committee will make sure that he is actively opposed.
How we can change our government is to take those out of power who are using that power to harm America's future and our citizens. Please support our efforts to "Defeat Harry Reid." You can learn more about the effort - HERE.
This is just one small part of a major project we at the Our Country Deserves Better Committee will be announcing to take back our country. Stay tuned for additional aspects of this major initiative as we unveil it over the next week.
Yesterday I posted Barrack Hussein Obama Skullduggery based on Amir Taheri exposé that BHO demanded the Iraqi government cease negotiations with the Bush Administration to send American Troops home.
Since then Move America Forward Freedom PAC produced a brief political ad utilizing the Taheri information to get the word out on Barack Hussein Obama hypocrisy.
The Barack Hussein Obama campaign has repudiated Taheri claiming his article was full of distortions.
Taheri came back with another article displaying BHO duplicity in a vain attempt to spin the facts. Taheri busts him pretty good with reality. If there were any distortions, it is on the part of Barack Hussein Obama.
In an email sent out to MAF Freedom PAC supporters, the obvious was stated about BHO:
…
Obama's campaign is now trying to cover-up his abhorrent anti-military position he took with the Iraqi foreign minister, but never thought would be revealed to the American people. He has shamelessly tried to claim that people are mixing up two different documents being negotiated -- the Status of Forces Agreement and the Strategic Framework Agreement, which sets the terms for U.S. military involvement in Iraq.
But the New York Post columnist ripped apart this phony explanation. He cited an NBC report that proved Obama is either forgetful or plain lying. Taheri uses specific examples of why Obama's defense is flawed.
…
It is beginning to become evident that the one time Leftist Messiah is a liar and is attempting to deflect his lying status by accusing others of lying.

Let us see: Barack Hussein Obama stance to his voting base is to leave Iraq ASAP. BHO claims he was against removing genocidal tyrant Saddam Hussein. BHO says he was against the Surge implying it was a waste in a nation he believes to be a quagmire of American defeat.
Oops! President Bush (which Senator McCain fully supported) went ahead with the Surge to Left America’s horror. This is even more horrific for Left America: the Surge has been an amazing success even beyond President Bush’s expectations.
Understandably BHO being a good Leftist denied the success of the Surge for some time. Only when it became evident that BHO would look like a Foreign Policy fool to refute the success of the Surge did a Leftist spin begin.
That spin was something like this: BHO believed we had no idea the Surge would have been successful; ergo he would have still been against it on principle. I am guessing that principle is defeat rather than victory.
Now the even more hypocrisy for the Leftie who says CHANGE will be the theme of an Administration he would operate.
The New York Post reports that BHO on his only visit to Iraq demanded the Iraqi government to cease negotiations with the Bush Administration over a time frame for U.S. Troops to leave Iraq. Why? I believe reason incorporated something like the Bush Administration was an ineffective weak Presidency.
Hmm … Weak I guess even though after many bad decisions in a post Saddam regime to bring democracy to a much divided nation, President Bush made a good decision with the Surge. This is very Surge that has nearly decimated al Qaeda’s existence in Iraq. So the only real problem in Iraq is rogue Islamofascist Iran attempting to stir up trouble among the Iraqi Shi’ites.
BHO wants no credit to go to President Bush, Senator McCain and the Republicans for being correct about the Surge and how that success could actually bring Americans home earlier than anticipated. BHO wants to continue to paint a bad picture (with the help of his crony media supporters) about Iraq in order to grab the messianic hero adulation for bringing Americans home ALONE. Thus BHO’s idea of CHANGE is still NOT bi-partisan. It is fringe Leftist Democratic Party partisanship in an effort to work Americans at home into giving the Democrats more political power via the vote. Such political power will be an increase in taxes, government interference, restrictions on real Christianity (as opposed to fake Progressive Christianity), and the culmination of a Secular Humanistic transformation in America that will make deviants appear normal and Biblical morality to look deviant.
Here are some excerpts from a Move America Forward Freedom PAC email I received on September 16.
It is almost impossible to believe Barack Obama can be this arrogant. But sometimes the worst about politicians is true. It looks like Barack Obama told the Iraqi government to halt negotiations on troop withdrawals until after the election.
Obama is putting his own political objectives ahead of the safety of U.S. troops in Iraq. Apparently this all happened during his celebrated trip to Iraq - yes, the same trip where he refused to meet with American military personnel in the hospital in Germany because they wouldn't let news camera crews turn the visit into a circus and political stunt.
Iraqi government sources have revealed to the New York Post that Presidential candidate Barack Obama demanded that Iraqi officials stop negotiations with the Bush Administration to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq. …
Fearful that the success in Iraq would harm his political aspirations, Obama sought to keep U.S. troops in Iraq so he can continue attacking the Bush Administration for not imposing a timetable for withdrawal. If these allegations prove to be true, it should be the end of the Obama campaign. The report says this was a demand Obama made to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari.
…
Obama should have the decency to recognize that he lacks the moral character to serve as Commander-in-Chief, and he should withdraw from the ticket. I have never heard of any candidate deliberately trying to get Americans killed to prove their point.
According to the New York Post story, not only did Obama seek to get the Iraqi to stop negotiating with Americans on the troop drawdown, he also tried to bully General David Petraeus to agree to a hard withdrawal date.
The hypocrisy of Barack Obama - to say, in the United States, that he wants a speedier troop withdrawal date - while telling the Iraqis to stop negotiating is appalling. Even supporters of a quicker U.S. withdrawal must be sickened by his conduct in Iraq. If there were ever a candidate who has demonstrated the lack of character and leadership to represent the United States in foreign affairs, it is Barack Obama.
…
It is very apparent to me that Barack Hussein Obama is NOT an agent of CHANGE. Rather BHO is an agent of political skullduggery.

Check this out:
Don Bordenkircher – who served two years as national director of prison and jail operations in Iraq– told WND that about 40 prisoners he spoke with "boasted of being involved in the transport of WMD warheads to Syria.
A smaller number of prisoners, he said, claimed "they knew the locations of the missile hulls buried in Iraq."
This is not the first inklings of the actual existence of Iraqi WMD. Former high level military officials of Saddam Hussein like Georges Sada (Find Georges Sada on page) have said the WMD were moved to Syria. Dave Gaubatz which was part of a team sent to Iraq to look for WMD pointed the finger where to look; however he was mysteriously ignored.
Many of these people (American teams, former Hussein regime individuals, Israeli Intelligence and so on) have all had pretty credible evidence via spoken corroboration. Obviously most of these finger pointers have their own agenda for going public; nonetheless there are simply way too many people to ignore.
So here is the mystery I can’t wrap my mind around: With all the criticism the Bush Administration has been hammered with which led to the expulsion of Republican control of Congress in 2006; why has not the Bush Administration been more opportunistic to point to these sources for vindication?
Another mystery: What’s with the Duelfer Report that dismisses all this information as irrelevant publicly saying there were no WMD in Iraq?
Has the government become so polarized politically between Left and Right that a total lack of cooperation exists to mutually justify an Iraqi invasion? Is the Bush Administration the victim of American government scandal in the amount of support militarily given to Saddam Hussein prior to Iraq War 1 or prior to Iraq War 2 (or both)? Would the public information be so embarrassing to the American government (which would include Bush 1 and the Clinton years) that GW Bush is willing to be the target of a Left that knows it can get away with lies?
It is a mystery that I hope I live long enough for history to report all the cloak and dagger background concerning Saddam Hussein, America and WMD.

1913Intel.com has picked an essay from Stratfor.com relating to bilateral relations between China and Russia. (Thus I have accomplished part of my due diligence of giving credit to who credit is due.)
Now you really need to read this essay by Peter Zeihan entitled, “China and Russia’s Geographic Divide”.
BUT before you do read Zeihan’s essay you need to have some thoughts in the back of your mind.
Consider that Russia (as the USSR) was a fomenter of instability in the Middle East during the Cold War rallying Mohammedan Nations with huge arms sales in the Islamofascist quest to wipe Israel off the map. Fortunately American sold weaponry (with Israeli innovation) was far superior to the old Soviet weaponry. It was fortunate because the little slice of Land known as Israel repeatedly defeated invading Mohammedan Armies from the North, West, South and (kind-of) East. So much were the Israeli victories that Israel re-attained some of their ancient heritage which America and the West is currently pressuring Israel to give up.
With the end of the Cold War and the downfall of Soviet Communism, the large installments of weaponry have not been forthcoming from Russia. On the other hand America was attacked by Islamofascist terrorists on American soil which has led America to become embroiled in an anti-terrorist Global War on Terror (GWOT) concentrated mostly in the Middle East.
Russia has taken this opportunity to trade technology more than weaponry. Sadly this has been with rogue nations Iran (primarily) and Syria. It is Russia that is aiding Iran with nuclear training lying to the world that Iran is going nuclear for peaceful purposes. Thus Russia has made every effort in the U.N. Security Council to water down harsh sanction to Iran just as Russia did with Iraq when Iraq was the recipient of technology. There is no smoking gun on WMD in Iraq but it is fairly common knowledge that Russia Special Forces smuggled the chemical WMD out of Iraq just prior or during the American invasion and HUGE amounts of weapons grade uranium was recently transported to Canada for peaceful processing.
Then there is China. China is also on the U.N. Security Council and its story is similar to Russia. China has been selling weapons in exchange for oil to Iran. And I suspect to old Saddam Hussein as well under the table so to speak (On the link scroll down to “What did Iraq buy with the money?”).
Thus there is the appearance that Russia and (still Communist) China are in cahoots for oil reasons AND geopolitical reasons to offset the hegemony of America. Like I said though, it is an “appearance.”
Peter Zeihan demonstrates with a little history and a little observation of China and Russia’s National Interest such an appearance of an alliance might be more illusion than reality.
Now you are prepared to READ “China and Russia’s Geographic Divide.”

Only now has the Left been grudgingly admitting the success of the Troop Surge initiated by the Bush Administration. The Left called it a failure before it was even launched.
I am certain you have read negative spin from the still virulent anti-war Dhimmicrats of the Left. You probably have also read supportive analysis from the Right. You might have even read neutral analysts saying there is success this is the reason why and the success is precarious because one slip-up could through the success into a failure.
But here is something interesting from actual Marines that are stationed in Iraq. The story is written by Lance Cpl Casey Jones and it is not from the view of data collection. Jones’ perspective is that of a soldier that is there seeing the success spread before his very eyes. YOU REALLY NEED TO READ IT!

Five hundred and fifty metric TONS of yellow cake uranium was secretly removed from Iraq to a “port in Canada” which will be processed for use in energy producing nuclear reactors. The point is though the yellow cake is of the quality used to initiate the creation of nuclear WMD.
HUH?!
My God the Left has been blasting the Bush Administration that no WMD was found in Iraq thus the liar’s motto “Bush lied, people died.”
Hello! The Yellow Cake is smoking gun evidence that Saddam Hussein was at the very least preparing to make nuclear WMD.
And what of Valerie Plame’s husband Joe Wilson saying there was no deal between Niger and Iraq for Yellow Cake? Hmm … Iraq does not have Uranium naturally in it nation. Could Wilson and Plame be part of a Leftist propaganda machine to darken President Bush’s credibility when Bush could not respond in total to the lies for National Security reasons?
The war in Iraq is legitimate.
Now Iran is even closer to nuclear weaponry than Iraq was. What are we going to do about it?
I know what the Left wants to do about it. NOTHING!

These are all AP wire stories picked up by Yahoo News, Fox News and CBC News. I have read that the AP itself may have taken the story down on its own website. If that is true what does that tell you of one of the largest Wire Services of the Mainstream Media? It tells you that a front page news story might make Bush a hero instead of a goat and that the MSM does not want that to happen to make Republicans look good during Election 2008.
What a bunch of Leftist hypocrites!

Here is the attitude of most American Patriots serving our nation in Iraq and Afghanistan. Compare it with the Leftists.

Ann Coulter says that Liberals lie. I might add the moonbat morons have stung themselves by revealing the Dems lied their way into the majority in both Houses of Congress.
Snooper’s blog expresses his opinion in not so politically correct lingo in wondering what else the Dems have lied to America about. And I might add if Dem’s lie, what kind of character does Barack Hussein Obama have AND what nature of lying is involved in his primary campaign slogan of “changed.”

Well – Well – Well: It looks like the Iraqi government has successfully ran a military op that resulted in netting a senior al Qaeda Iraq (AQI) who was also a General under terrorist supporter Saddam Hussein. Oops, I forgot, the Pentagon leaked info that it believes (thus making Leftists happy) that Saddam Hussein’s Government or Military had nothing to do with al Qaeda.
Here is the abbreviated email version sent to me by MoveAmericaForward (sent 5/20/08 1:56 PM) that has alerted me that Iraq is becoming self-sufficient much to the chagrin of bail and leave Leftists in America and Europe:
This story is good news for those who support the U.S.-led Coalition in the war on terror, and it's also tricky for opponents of our troops' missions (including the news media).
A senior Al Qaeda in Iraq leader has been arrested in Mosul, where Iraqi Security Forces have been cracking down on Al Qaeda forces who have been driven out of almost all other portions of the country.
But the tricky part for the media and anti-war activists is that if we captured a senior Al Qaeda in Iraq operative in Iraq, then that means we are fighting Al Qaeda in Iraq, despite what the media and some anti-war leaders have tried to convince you wasn't happening.
Turns out they've been caught lying - yet again!
Sick’em Iraqi Security Forces!
