  • Bush Screws Israel

    There should be an end to the occupation that began in 1967. The agreement must establish Palestine as a homeland for the Palestinian people, just as Israel is a homeland for the Jewish people. These negotiations must ensure that Israel has secure, recognized, and defensible borders. And they must ensure that the state of Palestine is viable, contiguous, sovereign, and independent.

    Thus spoke President George W Bush.

    The occupied territories, have been occupied by Israel since Israel whipped the combined forces of seven Arab nations. This is important, because, historically, conquest is how nations acquire land.
    The US, with the Louisiana Purchase from France and the purchase of Alaska from Russia, is one of the very few, if not the only nation to have expanded it’s borders by purchasing, rather than conquering lands. That Israel has been, for the past sixty years, the only democracy in the region, should be enough of a reason to side with the Israelis on this question. That they are hated for the race and religion of their populace should bring liberals screaming out of the woodwork to defend them. That Arab nations have funded the “palestinian” campaign of terrorism against Israel is another reason the US should stand with Israel.

    Not too long ago, President Bush stated that other nations are either with us or are with the terrorists and that the United States would fight terrorism and those who support it anywhere and everywhere it is found. Well, damn, George, what happened to that? The Israelis have tried, time and again to negotiate a peace with those Arabs who call themselves palestinian. The palestinians and their supporters, the terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah have bombed, murdered and fired rockets into Israel in direct violation of treaties they begged and pleaded for.LV Sun/AP story

  • Failure calls Bush “One of the Worst Presidents”

    Madeline Albright , whose failures as Secretary of State are too numerous to list is out bashing the President to hawk her latest book, Memo to the President Elect: How We Can Restore America’s Reputation and Leadership. What does this woman know of leadership? Shouldn’t she be writing a manual for getting screwed by the North Koreans?

    She said the next president needed to do a better job of being aware of the interests of other nations.

    Um. Damn, that is just halfway stupid isn’t it? Yes, we need to know what other nation’s interests are, but, the President’s job is NOT to cater to the wishes of foreigners. I guess Albright could be an authority on the interests of North Korea…

  • Blackwater rescues US citizens in Kenya

    In the Washington Times this morning Jerry Seper writes the story destined to be the most ignored story in the media today;

    Three young women have returned home to Michigan after being rescued from an orphanage in a remote village of strife-torn Kenya by Blackwater Worldwide.

    Yep, those border-line terrorists (um, sarcasm, folks) of Blackwater acting completely out of character (more sarcasm) stopped murdering innocent civilians (more sarcasm, in case you haven’t noticed a pattern yet) long enough to stage a rescue mission;

    “I knew the girls were in incredible danger, and I was calling anyone and everyone I could trying to get help but without success,” Mr. VanderMey said. “Then Erik Prince called, asked about the situation and said he was going to do what he could to get my girls out of harm’s way.

    “It wasn’t the image that most people have of Blackwater,” he said. “But I can assure you these are dedicated men, professionals who know how to help people in times like this.’ ”

    Blackwater spokeswoman Anne E. Tyrrell said the “best thing” about being a company owned, managed and staffed almost entirely by U.S. military veterans and former law-enforcement agents “is that it puts us in a position to help people who need it most.

    “These are three incredible girls who went to Kenya to help and ended up needing help,” she said. “We are delighted they are safe and at home with their families.”

    My personal thanks to my fellow veterans in Blackwater for the countless other lives they’ve saved in addition to these. If all of their stories were told, maybe the country would have another opinion of them.

  • Yalies (Heart) Padilla

    The Wall Street Journal editorial board this morning publishes a piece entitled “Yale and the Terrorist“. Apparently, the Yale Law School is has filed charges against John Yoo, a Yalie himself, on behalf of Jose Padilla convicted al Qaeda terrorist, wannabe dirty bomber and ungrateful little snot-nosed punk. Yoo, then a Justice Department lawyer, now a Berkeley Law professor, is being sued for doing his job; (more…)

  • Washington Post; Iraq success ends (UPDATE)

    Ok, it doesn’t exactly say that but you tell me, what does this headline mean;

    Six U.S. Soldiers Killed, Four Injured in Baghdad Blast

    Loss Amounts to Deadliest Day for Troops in Two Months

    This from the same people who’ve ignored the real story in Iraq for the last five months. While the good news was leaking out of Iraq through the blogs back in September and being testified to by the troops’ commanding general to Congress, the Washington Post was running a week long special series on IEDs called “Left of Boom“.

    Now all of a sudden, after two months they want to make it seem like Iraq is lost.

    Update: I see they changed the title over night.
