*************************************** Bring on the Shock & Awe "Remember Machiavelli's dictum: It is better to be feared than loved. Love will come later, when the Iraqi people are liberated. But fear, through substantial force, must come first." - Columnist Larry Kudlow *********************************** Go Forth and e-Multiply If you know someone who might like to receive News & Views, you can sign 'em up at: http://www.chuckmuth.com.

If Saddam was disarmed, what were those things he lobbed into Kuwait yesterday? Gotta love this denial that "Information Minister" Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf gave to Reuters: "I heard reports that we fired Scud missiles on Kuwait. I would like to tell you that we don't have Scud missiles and why they were fired, I don't know." *************************************** When Big Is Small and Small Is Big Why? Why do I do it? Why do I even TRY to watch any news coverage other than Fox News? I was surfing around yesterday afternoon and stopped by ABC. There, anchor Peter Jennings was pooh-poohing the growing "coalition of the willing," noting that it included rather small countries which really didn't amount to much (in his opinion). But wait. Weren't such small countries as Cameroon supposed to be so important and indicative that the U.S. didn't have international support in the United Nations? Countries such as Cameroon? So small, insignificant countries mean a LOT when they are opposed to the United States in the liberation of Iraq, but are ticks on a dog when they support us? The hypocrisy and double-standards of these people is breathtaking sometimes. *************************************** French Democrats in Primary States "Despite surveys showing upward of 70 percent of Americans supporting Mr. Bush's stance on Iraq, pollsters and Democratic strategists said the party remained deeply split on the war. 'I've polled extensively in Iowa and New Hampshire, and the prototypical Democratic primary voters in both states are very opposed to the war,' said pollster John Zogby." - Washington Times, 3/20/03 *************************************** French Democrats in Kansas The Kansas House wanted to pass a resolution expressing "unified and absolute" support for the Commander-In-Chief, the troops and the war effort. Alas, and to no one's great surprise, Democrats objected and wanted to amend the bill to make sure they didn't get put on record offering "absolute" support for President Bush at this crucial time in our nation's history.

Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said: 'I'm saddened, saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that we're now forced to war. Saddened that we have to give up one life because this president couldn't create the kind of diplomatic effort that was so critical for our country.' Mostly, the Democrats were saddened that America was about to win a war." - Columnist Ann Coulter **************************************** French Democrats Rally 'Round Their Leader "Democrats continued Wednesday to defend Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle's accusation that President Bush had "failed so miserably at diplomacy" even as they had to clarify the South Dakota Democrat's remarks." - CNSNews.com, 3/20/03 **************************************** WWPD: What Would Patton Do? "One can't help but look upon the current Senate minority leader (Tom Daschle) with both pity and scorn. He immediately brings to mind a little wimp private telling everyone in the barracks on the eve of battle how the general has gone nuts and if they don't go AWOL they're all going to die. George Patton had a way to solve Private Tom's psychosis, paranoia and cowardice. Let's hope George Bush does as well." - Robert McCaffrey in a letter to columnist John McCaslin of "Inside the Beltway **************************************** Why Should We Put Up With This? "As Monday dawned, Libya took over as chairman of the U.N.'s Human Rights Commission and...began its session by considering sanctions against the U.S. for our treatment of Taliban prisoners held at Camp X-Ray in Cuba." - Jed Babbin, AmericanProwler.com **************************************** In Retrospect "It was based on (Secretary of State Colin) Powell's diplomacy that Mr. Bush last fall was persuaded to go to the U.N. Security Council for approval (of military action in Iraq). It looked like a good idea at the time, and it was hailed as a triumph when Mr. Powell pulled off a unanimous vote for Security Council Resolution 1441 in November. The decision has turned out, however, to be a diplomatic disaster." - Columnist Helle Dale **************************************** Mother of All Entangling Alliances Tell Congress it's time to stop funding and appeasing the United Nations when it comes to American security interests.

Ms. Maines, a fellow Texan, may have drawn kudos from her European crowd, but back home nobody was whistling Dixie. "Within days, some 200 country fans had turned out at a 'Chicks Bash' at Goldman Lawn and Tractor in Bossier City, La., outside Barksdale Air Force Base. A 33,000-pound tractor was used to run over Dixie Chicks CDs, tapes and other paraphernalia. In Kansas City, Mo., one radio station put garbage cans outside its office for people to dispose of Dixie Chicks music. "Country stations nationwide, responding to listeners, banned the group from their airwaves. One, in Portland, Ore., was encouraging listeners to burn Dixie Chicks concert tickets in public. By early this week, airplay for the group's latest hit (ironically named 'Travelin' Soldier') was travelin' speedily downward. "...In recent years, the country music industry has divided into 'new country' with its pop sound and old country with its traditional tones. The Dixie Chicks are 'new' and no doubt Ms. Maines's small success in the pop world led her to believe she could talk trash like Barbra Streisand and get away with it. She figured wrong." - Columnist Kimberley Strassel, "Scene & Heard," OpinionJournal.com, 3/20/03 **************************************** Free Speech for Me But Not For Thee? Uh-oh. Y'all did it again. Just a few hours after I published the web address for Ditzy Chick Natalie Maines' guestbook...she shut it down. I guess her commitment to free speech only applies to HER speech on foreign soil against our president, not your speech telling the nitwit to shut up. However, before this bimbo closed her "Comments" page down, yours truly took the time to copy a few of the more entertaining entries. And heeeerre they are... "You GO girl! And I mean that in the literal sense. Go to 'the other side' where your treasonous big butt belongs. I hope you get the worst case of PMS in the history of the world." "I am a Proud Marine Mom. My son, who is 20 years old, is currently serving as a Lance Corporal in the United States Marines Corps. His life is on the line so that people such as yourself can continue to practice the freedom of speech. . . . I am sorry that you are ashamed of President Bush. I do know how you feel though, because I am ashamed of you." "What a lowlife thing to say. I just dare you to say that in front of a USA audience...that is, if anyone ever shows up." * "While I support your freedom to feel and say whatever you wish I find it unconscionable that you don't have the courage to say it here in the US. You are a gutless coward. You should thank God that the chemical weapons that will be confiscated from Iraq won't be sold on the open market and set off on American soil killing your last fan. Please stay in Europe and shut up. Just so you know, we are ashamed you are from Texas and the USA." ".(F)rankly your opinion and the opinions of the extreme liberals are of as much value as a used piece of toilet paper." "I do NOT support this war. Never have. I am NOT a flag waving right wing nut. Your comments are, nevertheless, despicable." "To think that a singer in a band has the requisite knowledge of the facts and the savvy to determine appropriate international policy is laughable. Natalie betrayed the support of the fans by over-reaching her role. Her head has gotten as big as her butt." "Natalie, it's one thing to disagree with the American government & what it does, & the right to do so is one of the freedoms we enjoy, BUT: for god's sake woman, keep your mouth SHUT when you're on foreign soil. . . . Now pardon me, I have a few Dixie Chicks CDs to cast into the fireplace. No room for ANYONE in my music collection that badmouths MY President in a foreign land." "Hey Nat, four friends and I used your CD's for skeet shooting Monday. My wife burned our concert tickets (with my blessing) to your show. It was worth the money." "Ms. Maines and Company, Today I returned your new CD I had bought my daughter for her birthday. I served in the Marine Corps for eight years and left early last year. What you've done is given the enemy ammunition to convince his people our troops won't have the stomach for a fight...in other words you've helped give the enemy forces more resolve. That's treason. You and Jane Fonda should be deported and never heard from again." "The Vichy Chicks should move to France." "Thank you for supporting the cause, Natalie. Sincerely, Saddam Hussein." ********************************* ********************************* Published by Citizen Outreach Chuck Muth Editor/Publisher 611 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE, #439 Washington, DC 20003-4303 E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Citizen Outreach is a 501(c)(3) non-profit public policy organization and does not endorse candidates or lobby for specific legislation.
