I believe that no matter who the President is, there could be a terrorist attack.

That is the biggest mistake that Liberls make, they believe that if a Democrat is in the Presidency that some how, the terrorist will not attack.

How many times have I heard a Liberal Obamunist say, "If Al Gore was in the White House, 9/11 would have never happened."  BS, 9/11, as well as any other major attack will happen regardless of who is President.

As for Liberman's comments, they are true.  Who ever wins the Presidency in November, must be ready on his first minute as President to take on the terrorists.  Somehow, I believe Obama will be more worried about holding hand with them than destroying them. 

About any imperative to kill or capture bin Laden poste haste, he has been marginalized for quite a while.  While symbolic, as pulling Saddam out of the spider hole, showing him to be the cowering coward he was, I don't think it's that important.  Plus, the dems would be crowing "game over" (and yes, I chose that word on purpose, they think this is all a big video game...maroons).

As for AlQ, yes, they'll test Obama early and often.  Not so McCain, they remember Carter & Reagan. 

Speaking of rememberances....does anyone remember last summer, when asked a question about a frisky Iran, McCain's reaction:  Bomb, bomb, bomb...bomb, bomb Iran (to the tune of the Beach Boy's Barbara Anne)...don't think for a minute those lunatic Iranians have forgotten it.

Looking back on it, that may have been one of the most effective campaign quips on record, as we all know, hindsight is 20/20.

We live in dangerous times where any little problem could loom large.  The big problem is we dont really know who we are fighting as we had definite enemies in teh post WWII years and through the cold war era but now all teh actors wear masks and have no alliegence to any countries.  This makes it hard to protect us and cut the cancer from the patient.

The WOT is ambigues and we as a western society are realizing what the world bordering Isalm has known for years.  Islam cannot be trusted and may need to be culled or transformed, its choice.

President Bush thank God recognized teh evil and acted accordingly to protect teh USA.  Obama will make teh mistake of the first WTC bombing and try teh actors in civil courts and emasculate teh USA.

We live in interesting times taht just happen to be deadly in each mistake.

Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.

I think you have to see who is President, then if the safeguards are removed. The drive by media is silent on the fact that there have been no attacks in the US or on US interests around the world since 9/11 -- A remarkable record in itself.

It may take some time, even if the Comrade Obama Communist party takes over America, for the safeguards to be relaxed. Then it will come. Maybe 2010 if the Communists win.

Anyone else catch Seymour Hersh’s latest travesty? He published an article in The New Yorker which basically says that American special units have been infiltrating Iran. He claims that the president received authorization for this under a highly classified Presidential Finding, which was approved by the Gang of Eight (a combined group of senior members of congress from both parties). However, Hersh argues, the Finding was a fraud, because Bush misled the Gang of Eight. The authorization was to use forces to investigate Iran’s nuclear program, but that Bush has been using the authority to bribe dissidents within Iran to launch a wave of violence against the regime. Bush is also using the Finding to cover his tracks while he orders these special units to capture or kill high value targets within Iran. Bush is also creating a set of special units to train and prepare for a war against Iran.

But this article is all standard Hersh reporting. Which means, to be clear, that if you already assume that Bush is acting illegally, that alone explains all of the discrepancies that Hersh claims to present. The problem is that there are other, equally plausible explanations for everything Hersh claims, at least the stuff he doesn’t simply make up. Hersh’s reporting doesn’t offer any proof that would mean anything to someone who’s not already convinced.

Hersh spends the whole article inventing his theory, and quoting people who support his view. He doesn’t quote anyone who doesn’t agree with him. In fact, he dismisses people who have any contrary story. Case in point: CNN did an interview with Hersh, after interviewing Ambassador Crocker from Iraq. CNN asked Crocker if any of this was true, and Crocker said no, very clearly. Hersh’s rebuttal was that they probably didn’t tell Crocker. What’s a patronizing attitude from Hersh, to defend his reporting with the catch-all excuse that whoever disagreed with his slant must simply not know. I’d trust Crocker long before trusting Hersh.

Another item that the media is blowing off: Iraq opens up the bids for oil contracts. The key to the story is not who wins the bids, although that could be a good story for the West. The key is that Iraq is in position to start reaping the benefits of its oil. Their profits will be the golden goose that the Kurds, Sunnis, and Shia will go out of their way to protect. That, in turn, will give extra motive to resolve and avoid any internal disputes.

Why isn't this being reported? Perhaps the article supplies a clue:

But any awards to U.S. and British firms are likely to anger opponents of the invasion, who have said the 2003 war was designed to give Western oil companies control over Iraqi oil reserves. U.S. and British officials have denied the charges.

By allowing international firms to help raise output at its major oil fields, the Iraqi government is breaking with the policy of major oil-producing neighbors such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates whose national firms keep tight control of foreign investment in their oil sectors.

I've heard very little comment on this story, certainly none from the Democrats or Obama. If you've heard this being discussed, and I simply missed it, please let me know. I'd love to hear their take on this.

 Amongst themselves, liberals were thanking their lucky stars Gore was not president on September 11,2001. This feeling lasted for approximately 3 weeks.

That was about all liberals could stand before bitchin' about Bush ("half a president"), bitchin' about the war, bitchin' about the non-existent racial profiling at airports, and bitchin' about "all those damn flag wavers".

 If (when?) Obami is elected president (a sad day indeed) we will be attacked within the year. Here is how it will go down: We get attacked and Obami and his Marxist buddies will immediately blame it on Bush and the Republicans (no mystery there), and while all the finger pointing is going on Obami will treat it as a criminal act not as a war attack. Frankly, at this point I would welcome a complete military take-over of our executive branch to restore the natural order of things, and put most of the animals back in their cages. Including, but not limited to, Obami, Pelosi, Reid et al.

"All generalizations are false, including this one.” Mark Twain

I'm really surprised this is not a topic.   Retired General Wesley Clark was on one of the Sunday AM interview shows yesterday where, among other things, he said he is "working" on getting Rush Limbaugh totally off of Armed Forces Radio.  Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the libs already have Limbaugh cut back to just one hour a day on the network.  I can't find anywhere to post this but I think it so important it needs to be told so I'll post it here.  Is ANYONE reading this??

For those who have delved into Clark's background, it is obvious to the most uninformed person Clark was moved to the top of the list by Clinton only for the reason he was a "yes man" and far left.  Clinton needed some Generals to do his bidding in the military.  Most who were already generals all despised Clinton.  Some retired early rather than report to Clinton. 

So Clinton hand picked about a half dozen far below the rank of general and, for no reason other than "I can" made them generals (or admirals if in the Navy).   They all became highly visible and at the front of the line whenever congress needed a general or admiral to testify before congress whenever the dems wanted to do a "show trial" on whatever Bush was up to at any point in time.

Fortunately, the military parked them all in places where they could do no harm.   Unfortunately, they parked Clark in Bosnia/Kosovo when it was still just diplomats talking gibberish (while Islamist terrorists slaughtered Slavs (several hundred thousand).   When the (yes they were corrupt too) government in Belgrade decided to step in before it turned to complete genocide Clinton began dropping bombs on Belgrade and killing thousands of Slavs (both sides were guilty of genocide).   All of a sudden Clark who was supposed to be parked doing nothing except when Clinton needed a general to testify before congress, was commander of allied forces in the Kosovo.  Clark's dumb orders cost the lives of many including many U.S. soldiers. His most infamous (but covered up) order was to drop a small nuke on the Slavs.   By the time those in the chain of command questioned the order saying "is this correct?" word had reached the DOD and the order was overridden. 

Before he retired, this dangerous loose cannon was "busy" at a desk job at the DOD and was there on 9/11/2001 which he loves to talk about how he was THIS close to death and a true patriot for just being there (opposite end of the building - heard about it an hour after it happened).

Clark is a grade A crook.  Since retiring, he has started a dozen plus consulting, manufacturing and other money sinks that do or did little more than write money proposals for DOD money grants that seemed to always be approved and the money always just disappeared.  None of his proposals for grants (mostly) or non-recourse loans were declined.  Clark obviously has other Clintonites in the DOD high enough up that their red APPROVED stamp is the final word.   Millions of dollars flowed and still flow to his sham corporations.  He is still at it. 

One was Wavecrest Labs in Michigan. www.wavecrestlabs.com.  They went thru bankruptcy a few years ago and Clark was long gone well before the curtain fell. Last year, they came up with a $10 mil in new government money (a no strings grant) thanks to the far left House representative for that district "to put people back to work" and are back to putting out press releases but producing little of any value.   The current Web site is a site (sight) to behold. Soooo exciting.   NOTHING will come of it.  If Clark is involved again, I can't find it in SEC filings.  But there were a dozen crooks in the first WCL so it's probably one of the others who jumped ship and hid out for a few years.  

But to see WCL when Clark was involved you have to use www.archive.org to bring up old versions of the site.   www.archive.org is such a GREAT research tool for those who want to delve into the past.  Go back in time and you'll see Clark as the Chairman.   They shut down in two(!!) days after their first shipment of one thousand "single soldier armored fast movement battle vehicle" or something like that ALL failed (individual cost about $6,000) when tested by the DOD.  

The first shipment went to the DOD and had a 100% failure rate.  By then, Clark had been gone for six months and had been busy wiping all traces of his connection to WCL but he couldn't get it all erased.   Their armored vehicle one man troop carrier product turned out to be $20 Chinese-made bicycles with electric motors made by WCL to power them.   These were supposed to be motors with a new technology.  The same "technology" you'll read about on the current Web site. Very vague but the hyperbole rating five stars with any PR writer!   A fully loaded soldier ready for battle flattened most of the tires.  Those that didn't reached a top speed of 2 MPH.  Pieces fell off in the first 100 feet.   The 24 million the DOD had advanced WCL just disappeared.  Upon the 100% failure rate WCL was bankrupt and the doors locked within days.   A scam if there ever was one. 

While he was Chairman, Clark's salary was almost seven figures and he received a multi-million dollar severance pay package when he decided to "get out of Dodge" before the first product shipped.  

How do I know so much about this? Last year I suddenly had a new boss who had a glowing bio.  After a few months his ineptitude clearly signaled something was "rotten in Denmark".   I'm pretty good at digging thru the Internet and even hacking (but NEVER for the black hats).   I quickly found that, yes, he had been president of a "major cutting edge technology company" (that's all we were told).  He had been president of WCL and also exited well before WCL imploded.  He was the #2 man to Clark.   NO investigation has ever been called for on the WCL  debacle.   My ex-boss probably also walked away with a few million. 

Using www.archive.org and other sources I discovered he and Clark had been involved in a "bust out" of a small division of Hawk Motors (making motors) in STL to the tune of $6 mil a few years earlier.  In that case, Hawk Motor corporate did file charges but they were dropped for lack of evidence. My ex-boss had thoroughly covered his tracks and especially covered the tracks of the MIL programs Clark had sent to Hawk Motors where the money just disappeared.  Accounting records were GONE so Hawk had to give up and write off $6 mil.     They met again at WCL shooting for bigger $$.   And they scored big time it appears. 

Unfortunately for me, my new boss found an e-mail on my office pc with info on it about WCL, Clark and Hawk Motors.   I was careless.   I was high up in the company but summarily fired by the personnel manager.  My boss refused to see or talk to me.  I still fear for myself and my family.   In all of my "research" I"ve come across a half dozen people connected to Clark who went "missing" and are still "missing".   

Since then, I've found another half dozen "bust outs" and shell corporations Clark has or had set up to siphon $$ from the DOD .  As I say, he apparently has a Clintonite in the vendor approval area of the DOD high enough up that his "APPROVED" stamp is not questioned.  I"ve counted $37 milliion thus far in "grants" to Clark companies that never did anything to speak of and, each time, he was out with tracks covered before the implosion occurred.    

We are getting a president Obama who is a world class speaker but couldn't teach high school civics or government who will do the bidding for George Soros but it could have even been worse.   We could have had a president Clark!   An out and out high level big $$ crook from head to toe.  He would have sold the country to the highest bidder (learn to speak Arabic or Chinese FAST!).    

Based on where I'm posting this, did anyone read this?  I'd like to nail Clark.  I doubt if I will but I hope someone with greater access to government records does.   He cost American lives in Kosovo and is busy stealing millions from the DOD (your tax money).  

Has this been covered here already? If not, did anyone else see that San Francisco is considering, naming after George W. Bush, a sewage plant? If true, isn't this clever? Isn't this dignified? Isn't this mature? Isn't this the kind of hi-jinks in which a local government should be engaging? Perhaps in a "so's your old man" move, a city in a red state could name a local women's shelter or a lie detector after Bill Clinton...

Well, I just wanted to post the response McCain gave today to Clark (Obama/Soros surrogate)...this is Pat Dollard's site so if offensive language bothers you..some of the comments, which are only a few have some language you may be offended by.

As far as I am concerned, when I heard it this morning, it was like one poster said..."Hit Me with a Pillow" or somesuch.

<edit> LOL...guess it would help if I put the link in...glad no one noticed.
