They're not. America's best are those who are wearing the uniform of their country." - Columnist Jack Kelly ***************************************** Big Whup from the Big Mouth "I'm going to spend my entire tax cut to help defeat you next year." - Filmmaker Michael Moore's warning to President Bush. I'm sure the White House is quaking in its boots. ***************************************** Putting Casualties in Perspective Columnist Tony Blankley notes that President Bush has now won major military engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq while "taking fewer casualties than are typically run up by drunken U.N. diplomats crashing their cars into civilians around the world in a good year." Ouch. ***************************************** Bush Whacking "The capacity of President Bush's opponents to believe the worst about him - even if it means giving the benefit of the doubt to Saddam Hussein - is staggering." - Columnist Mona Charen ***************************************** When You're Right, You're Right Anti-Bush critics are getting their pantyhose all up in a bunch over the fact that actual weapons of mass destruction haven't been found yet and some are now suggesting the President lied about or "hyped" the existence of such weapons to justify going to war. Of course, we haven't found Saddam Hussein yet, but that doesn't mean HE never existed (or does it?). "This whole notion that because we haven't found (weapons of mass destruction) one or two weeks after war has ceased is just playing politics and I think it's shameful," says House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas). Critics are "Monday morning quarterbacks that just can't accept the fact that the president, through his leadership, is right in the war on terror, and he was right going in to Iraq, and he was right to win that war, and he is right to continue the war on terror." They don't refer to our side as the "right" for nuthin'. ***************************************** Some Cheese with that Whine? "Seething with rage and frustration at the success of the war in Iraq, liberals have started in with their female taunting about weapons of mass destruction. . . . For the sake of their tiresome argument, let's stipulate that we will find no weapons of mass destruction - or, to be accurate, no more weapons of mass destruction. . . . Should we apologize and return the country to Saddam Hussein and his winsome sons? Should we have him on 'Designer's Challenge' to put his palaces back in all their '80s Vegas splendor? Or maybe Uday and Qusay could spruce up each other's rape rooms on a very special episode of 'Trading Spaces'? What is the liberals' point?" - Columnist Ann Coulter ***************************************** Another Times Reports Caught in a Fib Do you remember Adam Clymer? He's the New York Times reporter who was referred to on the 2000 presidential campaign trail by President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney as a "major league (expletive)." Big time. The actual word used refers to a certain section of the anatomy located between a set of cheeks a bit south of one's back, if you get our drift. The bottom line is that Clymer was and is a big-time Bush-basher and card-carrying liberal working at the same paper which employed the now-disgraced and recently fired affirmative-action reporter Jayson Blair who was caught simply making up stories as he went along; the same paper that continues to employ shrill, Bush-bashing columnist Maureen Dowd, who recently was caught deleting a key part of a Bush quote in order to alter its context and make it appear the President said something he really didn't say. So it should come as no surprise that Clymer has now been caught serving up yet another falsehood in a Times column. Last weekend Clymer wrote an assessment of the Democrat Party and noted that "The public strongly prefers Republicans on national defense...even thought most Democrats in Congress backed the war on Iraq." But as the Conservative Paper of Record, the Washington Times, notes in an editorial yesterday: "More than 60 percent of House Democrats opposed the use-of-force resolution (126-81). Altogether, 147 congressional Democrats opposed the resolution, and 110 supported it." Even using government-school math those figures don't amount to "most."

Dimitris Paxinos, president of the lawyers' association told the BBC that Mr. Blair will be charged with 'crimes against humanity and war crimes.' President George Bush escapes being charged as the U.S. is not a signatory to the ICC." - Columnist Paul Craig Roberts ***************************************** The American Way Some recently unemployed workers who are unemployed because they were downright lousy at their jobs are demanding back pay and emergency financial payments and are "vowing vengeance if they don't get their way," reported the Washington Times on Tuesday. Many of the displaced workers have taken to the streets in protest, carrying anti-U.S. signs and chanting anti-U.S. slogans. No, they're not members of John Sweeney's AFL-CIO. They're ex-soldiers in Saddam's Iraqi army who got their butts kicked in the recent Three Week War. But we can see how their behavior and tactics might have gotten you confused with today's union movement. Who said Iraqis can't become more like Americans? ***************************************** Rights, Rights, Rights On Monday, the Justice Department's inspector general issued a report critical of how some detainees have been treated during the terrorist investigations following September 11. In essence, the IG laments that detainees weren't receiving some constitutional rights, such as legal representation and an opportunity to post bond. However, it turns out most of the 762 detainees are ILLEGAL ALIENS. How is it that a lawbreaking non-citizen being investigated for terrorist activities on American soil is supposed to be afforded the same rights as a U.S. citizen? Does the ACLU really believe enemy combatants who have invaded our country illegally with the intent to do bodily harm to civilian citizens are entitled to have their Miranda "rights" read to them upon apprehension? Am I really supposed to get upset because a prison guard might have referred to a detainee as "Bin Laden Junior" or that some detainees were prevented from communicating with their possible accomplices immediately after the Twin Towers attack? Hold on while I break out my World's Smallest Violin. ****************************************** Affordable Campaign Websites!
