*************************************** Must Be Wearing Nike's "The news that the Iraqis have captured French journalists shows that they will be no pushover. Any soldier who can catch a Frenchman in a war zone can run VERY fast." - News & Views reader Quentin Langley *************************************** So Much for Giving Peace a Chance "WE SUPPORT OUR TROOPS WHEN THEY SHOOT THEIR OFFICERS" - Anti-war protest sign in San Francisco, alluding to the grenade attack by an American soldier against his fellow soldiers in Kuwait last weekend *************************************** Silent Majority Speaks The left has anti-liberation Hollyweird actors, ditzy chicks and the French Democrats. Naturally, these are the buffoons covered by the media. Well, now it's time for the "silent majority" of Americans to speak up. Please join the "Virtual March from the Right" by signing an online petition affirming support for our troops AND our President. You can join the virtual march by going to: http://www.RightMarch.com **************************************** Cheering in the Arab Street Reported in the Jerusalem Post after the first Americans were captured and killed in Iraq: >From a Palestinian policeman at Yasser Arafat's headquarters: "Everyone here was happy to see pictures of American soldiers in Iraqi custody. This is a big blow for [George W.] Bush and [Tony] Blair. I don't believe they will be able to continue with the war now that many of their soldiers are being killed or taken prisoner." >From a member of Yasser Arafat's presidential guard: "Saddam has once again proven that he is a great leader, a defender of Arab rights. His men are brave. They have been able to teach the American and British dogs an unforgettable lesson. The Iraqis are much better at war because they have more experience. The American and British soldiers are cowards and spoiled kids." **************************************** Franco Bluster "France will not accept a resolution of this nature tending to legitimize the military intervention and giving the American and British belligerents the right to administer Iraq. ... Whatever the results of the military operation, [Iraq] must be rebuilt, and for that there is just one forum, the United Nations." - French President Jacques Chirac, 3/21/03 **************************************** Don't Call Us, We'll Call You "The United States should exclude the United Nations from any non-humanitarian nation-building role in post-liberated Iraq. We fought the war. We won the war. And only we hold both the capacity and incentive to fashion Iraq into a civilized nation unthreatening to neighbors. The United Nations Security Council and Secretary General Kofi Annan moved heaven and earth to sabotage the Iraqi liberation." - Columnist Bruce Fein *********************************** How to Subscribe If you know someone who might like to receive News & Views, you can sign 'em up at: http://www.chuckmuth.com.

He appointed a Democrat, Norman Mineta, to his Cabinet, and put another Democrat, John DiIulio, in charge of his signature faith-based initiative. He signed a bill that affixed Robert Kennedy's name to the Justice Department building; renominated Clinton judges whose nominations had lapsed when President Clinton's term ended; compromised his education bill to accommodate Democratic ideas; and rarely, if ever, criticized any Democratic officeholder. Yet all this symbolic and substantive bipartisanship has done Bush no good." - Columnist David Frum in the Los Angeles Times **************************************** As Low As You Can Go "Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle's bitter attack on President Bush's handling of the Iraq conflict, just as U.S. forces were heading into war, hit a new low in partisan politics. Playing politics domestically was once off-limits when our country was poised to plunge into battle. . . . Politicking during wartime was an unwritten, understood taboo because, to the rest of the world, we must be a truly united state during times of crisis." - Columnist Donald Lambro *************************************** Daschle's Democrats "Democrats speak out on the war. As Democratic leaders led by Tom Daschle have fulfilled their constitutional duties by holding President Bush accountable for his actions, Republicans have responded with personal attacks that question the patriotism of Democrats." - Memo from Democrat National Committee Chairman and former Clinton bag-man Terry McCauliffe *************************************** Daschle's Man in Hollywood "I've invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage. We would like to--they're here in solidarity with me because we like non-fiction. We like non-fiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in a time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons, whether it's the fictition [sic] of duct tape, or the fictitious [sic] of orange alert. We are against this war Mr. Bush! Shame on you Mr. Bush! Shame on you! And any time you've got the pope and Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up! Thank you very much!!!" - "Filmmaker" Michael Moore's acceptance speech at the Oscars *************************************** Hollywood's Shame Roman Polanski, convicted of having unlawful sex with a 13-year-old at actor Jack Nicholson's house in 1997, fled the U.S. and now lives in France (where else?). According to the Associated Press, when the fugitive child molester was named as recipient of this year's best-director award at the Oscars, "the announcement sparked cheers from the crowd and a standing ovation from many." Uh-huh. The same crowd that is now undermining our troops and telling the world that "War Is Not the Answer." The world, especially in light of the Polanski episode, should consider the source. *************************************** When Confronted With Reality. "Within the first hours of the war, Iraq fired Scud missiles - that Hans Blix could not find and Saddam claimed not to have - at American and British troops. Don't expect the anti-war crowd to notice this. Up to the very last minute, they were arguing inspections had 'worked.' Having been proved so wrong, they will not reconsider. They will instead do what they always do - assume that the world will forget and move on to the next thing." - Columnist Mona Charen *************************************** Honorable Objective "George W. and Tony Blair are going out of their way - far, far out of their way - to liberate (Iraq) and not conquer." - Columnist Wesley Pruden *************************************** Lofty Goals "Slowly at first and then swiftly, more Americans and Iraqis will understand that the President of the United States is presenting goals for freedom that no other leader before him, in any country, dared face. They are direct challenges to terrorism, its horrors, threats and its growth. And they have brought out starkly the need to change the outdated and often destructive operation of the United Nations, to change it or completely replace it. They are goals of honor that will benefit nations around the world." - Columnist A.M. Rosenthal *************************************** Who Lost the Peace? "When it came down to it, two of America's closest Cold War allies - France and Germany - were unwilling to bear the responsibility of major powers when it came to Iraq. They weren't there when we - and the world - needed them. "Instead, they carped, complained, delayed, and even sabotaged efforts by the United States to make the fight in Iraq a united front. Rather than prevent war, they made it impossible to avoid. Had France and Germany joined a united Europe and United States in confronting Saddam Hussein, it is very likely the crisis in Iraq would have been resolved peacefully." - Bruce Bartlett of the National Center for Policy Analysis **************************************** 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.
