to enrich uranium. So now we know what the Iranians were doing while they had taken the British Hostages.
The Iranian Mullahs have also said they may look towards taken more hostages in the future. This just goes to show what happens when you appease an enemy.
Despite the LA Times assertion to the contrary, I still believe Hitlary Rotten Clintax will be the nominee for the Democrat Party in '08. There is no way that she is going to allow herself to be put in a position to have to play second fiddle to Barack Hussein Obama. No way.
Furthermore, I think it will be the women's vote that just may put her into the White House.

I'm calcing in the wimp factor for this one. My gut is telling me a large number of the American people, not all, but many, do not seem willing to support our continued efforts in the GWOT. Bad news for the GOP. Good news for the security over freedom crowd.
I am also factoring in my considered belief that we have now reached the point where at least half the people in this country are either too stupid and/or too lazy to live in a truly free society. I sincerely believe that fifty years of government-controlled schools have now brought us to this point. More bad news for the GOP. Good news for the security over freedom crowd.
I am seeing too much polling data that is suggesting that most people today think that government should play a larger role in their healthcare. They see healthcare as a right. More bad news for the GOP. Good news for the security over freedom crowd.
As for Obama, he has no chance. Neither does Edwards. That really only leaves Hillary. She will attract the votes of the center-left females in this country because she is selling security (with our money) and they will buy it in a second.

A new island has just risen out of the ocean. Amazing stuff.
Yeah that was fascinating. I wonder how long it will be until the global warming alarmists come up with some theory that human activity (specifically U.S. humans) are causing more earthquakes.
FastEd...you dont seem to understand the implications here. If the Island rose out of the sea, then dosent it displace more surface area? Which will translate to less area covered by water on the island, it displaces more water which raised the sea level world wide!! Its not global warming that will raise the sea levels, but earthquakes!! Hang GW, we need to do something about these quakes before they wipe out LA, SF and NYC...Oh, and Boston...gotta lose Boston to. Trying to get to the down side here. Cant seem to find it. Oh, well...never mind.
bass - point taken. And can't find the down side either - will be trying to get one of these dutch houses, since I'm not far from NYC. I wonder if I can get a full year fishing license?

This seems like as good a spot as any to post this and goes along with todays gaggle- Got quite a shock today when browsing through my email- seems that msnbc ran a story in their science section about an MIT scientist disputing global warming being man made. I'm still in shock they ran the story- anyway- here is the link. The scientist makes a very good point- we can't even predict next weeks weather, yet somehow the global wamring alarmists are telling us what's going to happen 40 years from now? Guess what? 'Scientists tried to raise temperatures in a model by introducing 'greenhouse gases' and they failed- yet, when asked what is causing global waRMING, they state 'greenhouse gasses' because 'they have no other explanation as to why this highly dynamic system is 'warming'. They also tried to suppress data that showed ealrier warming trends before the industrial age-

In the 1970's, the North Koreans attacked a US/ROK work party in the Joint Security Area at Panmunjom and murdered a pair of unarmed US officers who were supervising the trimming of a tree which was obstructing vision from one US post to another in accordance with a treaty.
In response, the US conducted Operation Paul Bunyon in which the entire US force on the peninsula went on alert and began operations just south of the border, B-52's orbited south of the border and US warships parked off the north Korean shore at the legal limit ready to open fire at a moments notice.
Then an armed and flack jacket wearing US work part went in, and instead of "Trimming" the branches of the tree that were obstructing the view, they CHOPPED THE DAMN THING DOWN. The nK forces just sat and watched, totally intimidated and were quiet as church mice for several years.
A section of the truck was memorialized in a display at our HQ for all to see and as far as I now is still there.
I propose the same thing should be done in Iran now that they have released the British troops. US/UK forces should now go in and retrieve the Rubber Inflateable Boat that as far as I know has not been given back.
If the boat is not there anymore, a nice Iranian patrol boat will make a nice replacement. If any resistance is met, the full weight of US arms should be sued to quell it.
I'm with ya all the way. Unfortunately, having just watched the once-mighty British Empire being brought to its knees by Iran, I just don't think its going to happen.

This article is interesting on many different levels. On one level, she is really saying that common people are okay, just not in her backyard. A total reveal of her liberal elitist mentality. On another level, this is an example of attempting to paint an entire organization with (what she believes) is a ugly example. If we can get the word out on this it will be damaging to pretty boy (not that he needs the help tubing his political career - he's all over that). I, personally embrace this guy's philosophy. He has property rights in this country and everyone can't just trespass at will. Not only that, but he is being displaced from his home due to her hostility. She admitted that she didn't know him, but disliked him. Wow, what a .....!
Pull out of Iraq, leave Afganistan, redeploy the troops, Edwards pulls out of debate because of Fox News, Obama pulls out of debate too, using Fox excuse, who's next?
Paloony wants to talk to bad guys, others want to - yet they're all wimmpy cats when it comes to a real man - or anyone at Fox - the demolib, cool aid drinkers, think these guys can run the strongest country in the world, but can't face a reporter?

I came to NB to discuss important issues and what do we get:
- complaints about Hussein Statue Toppling - Imus - Global Warming, Global Warming, and more Global Warning - McCain's War Stance - Blogger Harassment - and more BS
Either I'm always late to the party and miss the important stuff or NB is just so out of sync with the issues of the day they're always playing catch up. The world is discussing libs bailing on important debates and we get to discuss Imus. No wonder conservatives are losing.
- Key Dems Say No to Fox Debate - Waxman Pushes for Rice to Testify on Niger Claims - Libs complain about 150 Pat Roberson Univ Alumni employed by Fed Gov. - Ahmadinejad goes Nuclear
You, and all of the rest of the little Kostards, need to get up earlier, quit sniffing the (whatever it is that you sniff) and show up with real ideas, real debates, and even more importantly, facts (you know....links) to back up your assertations.
Care to try again?
Thank you for playing.
<edit...sorry, all...I took a vow to quit annoying the trolls>
mtw, Are you serious? Or do you just not understand what Newsbusters mission is? NB'ers exists to address the inherent liberal bias that exists in the media. We are able to discuss the issues of the day as they relate to the reporting, or lack of, in the media.
Despite that, it seems to me that there are wide ranging discussions here at NB'ers everyday.
If you are looking for a straight up issues debate, then maybe you need to look at some other blogs that address those things.
I'm finding it a tad difficult that the discussion over Iran's totally illegal kidnapping of our allies has been supremely ignored in the MsM, as well as here....
Having said that....why are we still fighting the GWOT if we're just going to wimp out?
And why has Ms. Scarfhead Pelosi been given a pass?
Hello, conservatives! We can fiddle and diddle around all day about IMUS and Popeye. D'Oh!
Let's get serious.
And don't even bother to answer me about what Rush had to say. I love the guy. But, I want to know what my fellow conservatives have to say about this issue. I know what Rush thinks. I know what I think.
Blonde, You've asked for a lot in one comment. Responses might be light tonight, as the site seems extremely slow tonight, and 24 is on.
The Speaker with the head dress on hasn't gotten a pass from the right side of the blogosphere, and as pointed out here at NB'ers, neither from the WaPo. Maybe you want to know why she is seemingly getting a pass from the Administration? Lawdy, I wish I knew for certain. I think when you get right down to it, it's just a political non-starter. Yah, I know. It makes me shake my head also. In a perfect world, that wouldn't happen. Alas, we don't live in a perfect world - especially not politically. After all, when you start out in a hole just by being a Republican President, I'd imagine that sometimes you've got to make calculated decisions on where you are going to spend your political capital.
Add to the Pelosi incident, the wrist slap Sandy Burglar got, the fact that we can't seem to find out who leaked national security secrets to the NYTimes. Seemingly, this President is in a box that fighting his way out of would possibly jeopardize the really big things he needss to get done - like fighting the war. I think the demos, and their media allies, have worked six years to make sure George Bush is in this exact position.
Yes, that's a very unsatisfactory assessment of the situation. It's just the way I see it.
I ask alot...I know...it's an accusation that's been tossed my way forever.
But I want an answer!
What are we doing if we're not going to demand answers?
Did anyone read the link I posted? I thought it posed numerous questions for debate....topics of conversation...and hopefully, for the conservatives here, a basis for where we'd like our presidential candidates to be grounded.
Guess not.
Everyone seems to be wrapped around the axle about Idiot Imus and some troll's "timetable".
As such, I shall fold up my tent and steal away, quietly.
I honestly have no idea what Rush thinks. I can't listen too much during the week, and even then I only half-listen.
I really don't have a clue why there was not much outrage about the act of war perpetrated by Iran, but since it was not against our country our response is immaterial. Britain really showed its bloomers by not reacting stronger. They should have moved their military ships toward Iran and sent aircraft to (and even into) Iranian airspace. How could Iran complain when they were holding British military?
We are still fighting the GWOT, although much is probably being done covertly. If the democrats achieve any more power in the next election, all bets are off. It will take another 9/11 to bring the GWOT back to the forefront. And if the democrats do win more, that is exactly what we will be heading for.
Pelosi has been given a pass because she is a democrat and the first woman to be speaker of the house. She can do no wrong in their eyes. In mine, she is a traitor and should be tried as such.
"People everywhere confuse what they read in newspapers with news." - A.J. Liebling
Blonde, you're right. There is a total lack of leadership on the Global War on Terror. Even the President isn't forceful enough in responding to his critics. The PR war should never have been allowed to descend to this point. W. reminds me of his father, who should have mopped the floor with Bill Clinton in '92. But Clinton tossed manure by the wagon load, and 41 mounted little or nothing in the way of a counter attack.
One favorite tactic of the libs is to throw out as many issues as possible to muddy the waters. Not enough armor. Not enough equipment. Too much money spend on the war. Not enough troops. Too many troops. More troops in Baghdad. Too many troops holed up in Baghdad. The Iraqi government is incompetant. The Iraqi government needs to handle their own affairs. And on and on and on.
It is distressing to see how many people care more about taking revenge on the man who beat back Gore's attempt to steal the 2000 election than putting an end to terrorism. And it is distressing to see the naked opposition of the press, which daily betrays the ideals it claims to support and only gives us all the news that fits their template.
Even more distressing is that the front line of the debate on the conservative side consists of pundits and talk show hosts, and that few Republicans are really fighting with us.
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
I completely skipped the Brit/Iran situation. You're right, there has been very little discussion of it here at NB'ers. Even when there has been a post relating to the subject, the comments have been relatively light.
One of the problems I see is that it's hard to discuss the issue without injecting some analysis of the Brit's ROE and operational plan WRT the boarding, and then an analysis of the sailors and Marines apparent lack of resolve while in captivity.
First, we don't know what the Brit Navy and MoD position is on what their response should be in that situation. Knowing that would give us some context for the analysis.
I wish I could say with certainty that the United States would have reacted more forcefully in the same situation. I am fairly certain we would have. However, history is not always in my favor on that account.
In 1968 the NoKors siezed the USS Pueblo and held the crew for 11 months. We took no forceful or retaliatory actions. They still have the ship. Now, I was a kid, so I don't know what compelled us to do nothing. All I can imagine is that we were deeply involved in Vietnam and taking military action against NK might have compelled the ChiComs to get even more involved than they already were.
More recently, in April 2001, we had the EP-3 inicident with China. Granted, our plane did land on Chinese property. However, it was a Chinese, rogue jet jockey that caused the whole incident. Why didn't we react more forcefully? I couldn't figure it out myself. Was it because Bush had just taken office and hadn't quite gotten foreign policy principles ironed out? Was it because Colin Powell was SecState and convinced Bush that military action wasn't needed or wise? Had it been me, I would have planted a TLAM right on top of the EP-3. But then I've been told I'm a warmonger, too militaristic. Sheesh, wonder why that is.
As much as I love this site, in all my days of surfing and blogging, I can honestly say that NB is the slowest site I have ever been on. Frustrating is not even close to the word I am looking for. Good grief, ENOUGH...BYE!!

This article is interesting on many different levels. On one level, she is really saying that common people are okay, just not in her backyard. A total reveal of her liberal elitist mentality. On another level, this is an example of attempting to paint an entire organization with (what she believes) is a ugly example. If we can get the word out on this it will be damaging to pretty boy (not that he needs the help tubing his political career - he's all over that). I, personally embrace this guy's philosophy. He has property rights in this country and everyone can't just trespass at will. Not only that, but he is being displaced from his home due to her hostility. She admitted that she didn't know him, but disliked him. Wow, what a .....!

April 9, 2007 - 15:14 ET by FastEdPull out of Iraq, leave Afganistan, redeploy the troops, Edwards pulls out of debate because of Fox News, Obama pulls out of debate too, using Fox excuse, who's next?
Paloony wants to talk to bad guys, others want to - yet they're all wimmpy cats when it comes to a real man - or anyone at Fox - the demolib, cool aid drinkers, think these guys can run the strongest country in the world, but can't face a reporter? We could end up speaking arabic, once the mulahs get a chance to "speak" with the demolibs. Watch your neck.

April 9, 2007 - 21:14 ET by mtwokayI came to NB to discuss important issues and what do we get:
- complaints about Hussein Statue Toppling
- Imus
- Global Warming, Global Warming, and more Global Warning
- McCain's War Stance
- Blogger Harassment
- and more BS
Either I'm always late to the party and miss the important stuff or NB is just so out of sync with the issues of the day they're always playing catch up. The world is discussing libs bailing on important debates and we get to discuss Imus. No wonder conservatives are losing.
THIS IS THE TROLL ALERT SYSTEM! THIS IS NOT A TEST!

April 9, 2007 - 21:39 ET by mtwokayYes, thanks for that great response while:
- Key Dems Say No to Fox Debate
- Waxman Pushes for Rice to Testify on Niger Claims
- Libs complain about 150 Pat Roberson Univ Alumni employed by Fed Gov.
- Ahmadinejad goes Nuclear
But Imus is so much more important

April 9, 2007 - 21:46 ET by BlondeFace it, mtwokay,
You are a day late, and a dollar short.
If you care to debate here, you must catch up.
You, and all of the rest of the little Kostards, need to get up earlier, quit sniffing the (whatever it is that you sniff) and show up with real ideas, real debates, and even more importantly, facts (you know....links) to back up your assertations.
Care to try again?
Thank you for playing.

April 9, 2007 - 21:44 ET by John in CAmtw, Are you serious? Or do you just not understand what Newsbusters mission is? NB'ers exists to address the inherent liberal bias that exists in the media. We are able to discuss the issues of the day as they relate to the reporting, or lack of, in the media.
Despite that, it seems to me that there are wide ranging discussions here at NB'ers everyday.
If you are looking for a straight up issues debate, then maybe you need to look at some other blogs that address those things.

Captured Brit Soldiers, Redux
April 9, 2007 - 21:18 ET by BlondeI'm finding it a tad difficult that the discussion over Iran's totally illegal kidnapping of our allies has been supremely ignored in the MsM, as well as here....
Having said that....why are we still fighting the GWOT if we're just going to wimp out?
And why has Ms. Scarfhead Pelosi been given a pass?
Hello, conservatives! We can fiddle and diddle around all day about IMUS and Popeye. D'Oh!
Let's get serious.
And don't even bother to answer me about what Rush had to say. I love the guy. But, I want to know what my fellow conservatives have to say about this issue. I know what Rush thinks. I know what I think.
The question is....what do you think?
Blonde, You've asked for a
April 9, 2007 - 21:58 ET by John in CABlonde, You've asked for a lot in one comment. Responses might be light tonight, as the site seems extremely slow tonight, and 24 is on.
The Speaker with the head dress on hasn't gotten a pass from the right side of the blogosphere, and as pointed out here at NB'ers, neither from the WaPo. Maybe you want to know why she is seemingly getting a pass from the Administration? Lawdy, I wish I knew for certain. I think when you get right down to it, it's just a political non-starter. Yah, I know. It makes me shake my head also. In a perfect world, that wouldn't happen. Alas, we don't live in a perfect world - especially not politically. After all, when you start out in a hole just by being a Republican President, I'd imagine that sometimes you've got to make calculated decisions on where you are going to spend your political capital.
Add to the Pelosi incident, the wrist slap Sandy Burglar got, the fact that we can't seem to find out who leaked national security secrets to the NYTimes. Seemingly, this President is in a box that fighting his way out of would possibly jeopardize the really big things he needss to get done - like fighting the war. I think the demos, and their media allies, have worked six years to make sure George Bush is in this exact position.
Yes, that's a very unsatisfactory assessment of the situation. It's just the way I see it.

April 9, 2007 - 22:12 ET by BlondeJohn,
I ask alot...I know...it's an accusation that's been tossed my way forever.
But I want an answer!
What are we doing if we're not going to demand answers?
Did anyone read the link I posted? I thought it posed numerous questions for debate....topics of conversation...and hopefully, for the conservatives here, a basis for where we'd like our presidential candidates to be grounded.
Guess not.
Everyone seems to be wrapped around the axle about Idiot Imus and some troll's "timetable".
As such, I shall fold up my tent and steal away, quietly.
Good Night, all.
Sweet Dreams.
I honestly have no idea what
April 9, 2007 - 21:59 ET by saw the lightI honestly have no idea what Rush thinks. I can't listen too much during the week, and even then I only half-listen.
I really don't have a clue why there was not much outrage about the act of war perpetrated by Iran, but since it was not against our country our response is immaterial. Britain really showed its bloomers by not reacting stronger. They should have moved their military ships toward Iran and sent aircraft to (and even into) Iranian airspace. How could Iran complain when they were holding British military?
We are still fighting the GWOT, although much is probably being done covertly. If the democrats achieve any more power in the next election, all bets are off. It will take another 9/11 to bring the GWOT back to the forefront. And if the democrats do win more, that is exactly what we will be heading for.
Pelosi has been given a pass because she is a democrat and the first woman to be speaker of the house. She can do no wrong in their eyes. In mine, she is a traitor and should be tried as such.

Conservatives need to fight back hard
April 9, 2007 - 22:12 ET by nkviking75Blonde, you're right. There is a total lack of leadership on the Global War on Terror. Even the President isn't forceful enough in responding to his critics. The PR war should never have been allowed to descend to this point. W. reminds me of his father, who should have mopped the floor with Bill Clinton in '92. But Clinton tossed manure by the wagon load, and 41 mounted little or nothing in the way of a counter attack.
One favorite tactic of the libs is to throw out as many issues as possible to muddy the waters. Not enough armor. Not enough equipment. Too much money spend on the war. Not enough troops. Too many troops. More troops in Baghdad. Too many troops holed up in Baghdad. The Iraqi government is incompetant. The Iraqi government needs to handle their own affairs. And on and on and on.
It is distressing to see how many people care more about taking revenge on the man who beat back Gore's attempt to steal the 2000 election than putting an end to terrorism. And it is distressing to see the naked opposition of the press, which daily betrays the ideals it claims to support and only gives us all the news that fits their template.
Even more distressing is that the front line of the debate on the conservative side consists of pundits and talk show hosts, and that few Republicans are really fighting with us.
When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.
I completely skipped the Br
April 9, 2007 - 22:28 ET by John in CAI completely skipped the Brit/Iran situation. You're right, there has been very little discussion of it here at NB'ers. Even when there has been a post relating to the subject, the comments have been relatively light.
One of the problems I see is that it's hard to discuss the issue without injecting some analysis of the Brit's ROE and operational plan WRT the boarding, and then an analysis of the sailors and Marines apparent lack of resolve while in captivity.
First, we don't know what the Brit Navy and MoD position is on what their response should be in that situation. Knowing that would give us some context for the analysis.
I wish I could say with certainty that the United States would have reacted more forcefully in the same situation. I am fairly certain we would have. However, history is not always in my favor on that account.
In 1968 the NoKors siezed the USS Pueblo and held the crew for 11 months. We took no forceful or retaliatory actions. They still have the ship. Now, I was a kid, so I don't know what compelled us to do nothing. All I can imagine is that we were deeply involved in Vietnam and taking military action against NK might have compelled the ChiComs to get even more involved than they already were.
More recently, in April 2001, we had the EP-3 inicident with China. Granted, our plane did land on Chinese property. However, it was a Chinese, rogue jet jockey that caused the whole incident. Why didn't we react more forcefully? I couldn't figure it out myself. Was it because Bush had just taken office and hadn't quite gotten foreign policy principles ironed out? Was it because Colin Powell was SecState and convinced Bush that military action wasn't needed or wise? Had it been me, I would have planted a TLAM right on top of the EP-3. But then I've been told I'm a warmonger, too militaristic. Sheesh, wonder why that is.
