Kerry Bashes the Military Again
Wednesday, October 27, 2004
THE LIBERALS ARE STEALING OUR REPUBLIC
First things being first, prompts me to outline that which elicits my statement, "slanted news coverage". Early Monday, October 25, 2004, the New York Times published an article about the "nearly 400 tons" of explosives that had disappeared from the Al-Qaqaa facility in Bagdad, which "was supposed to be under American military control but is now a no man’s land, still picked over by looters as recently as Sunday." That article also reported that "White House and Pentagon officials acknowledge that the explosives vanished sometime after the American-led invasion."
The NYT article was reported not only by all major media sources in the U.S., but in all corners of the world. I was able to gather links to news sources from Austria to New Zealand, Canada to South America, Turkey, Bagdad, and to numerous Internet sites. By "googling" the phrase, "missing explosives", you will find more than 1,000 sources from which to read similar content.
Almost immediately, the Bush administration downplayed the NY Times article and its statement that the "White House and Pentagon officials acknowledge that the explosives vanished sometime after the American-led invasion". In my research to determine the truth of the article, I was able to easily confirm that the article’s content was old news, having originally been reported in early 2003, and the discovery was actually made by U.N. inspectors BEFORE the U.S. troops arrived in Bagdad. Furthermore, as early as Monday afternoon, the Times Leader, a news source in northeastern Pennsylvania, had published a timeline of events surrounding the missing explosives.
As the day progressed, Kerry began making the "missing explosives" an issue in his campaign speeches, stating that the missing explosives illustrated Bush’s failures in Iraq, and specifically alleging that "the discovery proved one of the great blunders of Iraq, one of the great blunders of this administration". Also, about the same time, an AP article appeared in the Times Leader entitled, "Embedded Reporter Saw No Explosives Search", wherein reporter Lai Ling Jew stated, "... as far as we could tell, there was no move to secure the weapons, nothing to keep looters away." Then, on the evening news of the CBS Channel 2, in New York, while it was reporting "Tons Of Explosives Missing In Iraq", and announcing that 60 Minutes would air a program on the subject Sunday evening before the Presidential election on Tuesday, the NBC affiliates were countering that information with news that the NYT article was inaccurate, was old news, and that any "missing explosives" took place prior to the U.S. entering Bagdad.
Tuesday, October 26, 2004, brought more campaign rhetoric from Kerry, as well as from Edwards, regarding Bush’s inadequacies on locating these explosives. Tuesday’s news also brought sufficient identification from U.N. sources to categorize the explosives as "WMDs". Then, in total disregard of the facts being reported by various news sources, the DNC began releasing campaign ads showing Kerry blaming Bush for the missing explosives, absent any mention that such explosives could well have been the "WMDs" that sent us to Iraq in the first place. Even more disturbing than Kerry’s escalated criticism, was a report in the Washington Times that the "Terrorists hope to defeat Bush through Iraq violence." That report included the statement that "Resistance leader Abu Jalal boasted that the mounting violence had already hurt Mr. Bush's chances, that the "American elections and Iraq are linked tightly together," and that the resistance was working "... to change the election, and we've done so. With our strikes, we've dragged Bush into the mud." Therefore, the press in this country has now become associated with the terrorists in attempting to deny President Bush four more years in the White House.
Conversely, at the same time Kerry and the DNC were using the misinformation from the New York Times to their advantage in campaigning against Bush, there appeared two articles relating to Kerry’s ties with the Viet Cong during his association with the Vietnam Veterans Against the War. The first article I read was written by Art Moore, for WorldNetDaily, and appears at http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=41106. The second was written by Thomas Lipscomb, for The New York Sun, and appears at http://www.nysun.com/article/3756. The document referred to in these articles is found at http://ice.he.net/~freepnet/kerry/staticpages/index.php?page=vccircular, and both confirm Kerry’s link to our enemies. It goes without saying that, if this was properly covered by the media, it would undoubtedly have an effect on the success Kerry has in the present presidential campaign. Astonishingly, neither article has appeared in any major news media source.
It has become so apparent to me that the news we receive in this country, where the press DEMANDS its freedoms, is SO heavily weighted toward the liberals’ agenda that we have no chance of receiving unbiased news without constant search on the Internet and perusal of sources outside the U.S. Why is this happening in a country that, by virtue of our Constitution, guarantees equality in every aspect of our daily lives? Are we doing to allow the media to choose our elected officials? Please, everyone, wake up – the liberals ARE stealing our country. If we don’t wake up and fight the good fight NOW, it may be too late.

PROOF CONTINUES TO MOUNT THAT KERRY IS UNQUALIFIED TO SERVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE
It is one thing for the NYT to have published that article, but quite different to have Senator Kerry, who should have been briefed on such information, to use it in his campaign speeches. Just hours after the New York Times article was on the streets, Kerry was blasting the current administration for its failure to "guard those stockpiles", adding, "This is one of the great blunders of Iraq, one of the great blunders of this administration."
I find it not only disturbing that Senator Kerry has such little knowledge of what has occurred in Iraq, as well as the many successes our troops have had in that country, but speculate how his lack of attention to such important details and events would affect this country were he walking in the President’s shoes. The more one knows about this man, the more one studies his campaign rhetoric, and the more one independently obtains the facts, the stronger the evidence we need to eliminate any chance Senator Kerry ever becomes included in the list of U.S. Presidents.
I hope it becomes as evident to other voters, as it has to me, that the liberals are attempting to sell us a bag empty of substance, but full of tricks.

MIXED SIGNALS FROM THE ARAB WORLD
By the way, the Qatari television station, for whom the series was made, has now "decided to cancel" the screening and has "informed other channels that had bought the series ... they would not receive the remaining 30 episodes" of the 38 that were produced. It is reported that this decision has "triggered threats of lawsuits" and "produced an avalanche of rumors about the reasons for the cancellation", including one that "Condoleezza Rice ... phoned the Qatari leaders to ask them not to air the series." Looks like some in the Middle East may try their luck in fulfilling personal agendas through litigation.
http://www.arabnews.com/?page=9§ion=0&article=53315&d=23&m=10&y=2004
Then, in strange contrast to the "Ugly American" article, I came across an editorial relating to the United Nations’ role in the oil-for-food scam in Iraq. The author reported the probe into the scheme by Paul Volcker, and acknowledged the involvement of UN officials, well known people in over 30 countries, as well as companies from over two dozen countries. This writing correctly outlines the limitations to the Volcker investigation, and identifies the reasons this probe is insufficient as 1) the lack of subpoena power, and 2) the inability of the investigators to bring criminal charges against any involved in the scheme.
In conclusion, the author states, "Only a proper judicial inquiry, held in public, by the United States, which is the UN’s host country, preferably in conjunction with the European Union and, of course, Iraq, could reveal the whole truth and bring the thieves to justice."
http://www.arabnews.com/?page=7§ion=0&article=53312&d=23&m=10&y=2004
Talk about confusing signals, messages, and opinions. On the one hand, we "Ugly Americans" have caused the problems in the Middle East, yet are said to be the only sovereignty that can provide "proper judicial inquiry" and bring the "thieves" in the oil-for-food scam "to justice".

THE UNBALANCED STATE OF FREE SPEECH IN AMERICA
During this period of time, there have been films and news available from those supporting our President. Those films have been attacked at every turn by the media, and are now being challenged in the judicial system. It has come to the point where those who have a difference of opinion with the Democrats are either being silenced by the very media that is touted as a "free press", or denied "equal time" by the very courts that were designed to guarantee everyone a "fair judicial process".
The icing on "my cake" appeared last evening in a local talk show program. A Kerry supporter called in to complain that the talk show host had no right to "invade" an upcoming Michael Moore event in one of the universities to challenge Mr. Moore’s speech and his documentary, "Farenheit 9/11". Further, the caller voiced her displeasure with Condi Rice campaigning in the "swing states" for President Bush, stating, "Ms. Rice is our National Security Adviser and should have her attention on our national security, not a Presidential campaign." Upon further conversation, this caller divulged she felt President Bush and Vice President Cheney should likewise "not be out campaigning, but attending to the business in Washington." The talk show host immediately stated, "Then, in the interest of fairness, you would also want Kerry and Edwards to go back to the Senate and tend to their responsibilities in Congress to their respective constituents". However, the caller strongly denied she wanted the Democrat’s candidates to stop campaigning, and continued to give reasons why our President and his staff should stay in Washington and NOT campaign.
I post these observations to urge ALL conservatives to get busy and share ideas, make suggestions, and design ways for our segment of the population to ensure we get equal time and similar coverage as that being given our opposition. If we fail to properly challenge the present atmosphere of misinformation and unbalanced reporting, we will no longer be living in a republic, but a form of government similar to that formerly known as the U.S.S.R. What we are seeing now is all part of a larger plan and that plan is obviously not designed to fit the requirements of our present Constitution. Let us start organizing NOW, before it is too late.

Support Our President
For instance, Kerry proposes to cut taxes for 98 percent of taxpayers, yet President Bush’s tax relief cut taxes for 100 percent of those who pay income tax. Further, Kerry continues to tout the reduction of health care costs to employers by giving tax credits, as well as insisting he would allow the purchase of U.S.-made prescription drugs from other countries. On the other hand, it was President Bush who signed the bill giving tax credit for those workers displaced by trade, and the Medicare prescription drug law that also allows for importation of those drugs certified as “safe”. In addition, it is President Bush who proposes refundable tax credits for families purchasing individual health insurance.
I would hope that each one of us who supports President Bush would educate themselves as to the issues being raised by the Democrats, and have a factual and understandable response for those who are open to a rational discussion of their choices in this election. Our work to gather support for our President does not stop until November 2, 2004.

I Just Don't Get It!!
I guess I just don't understand the liberal mentality. Bush is bad? Why? The arguments I have heard are specious at best. Here are a few of them, sadly.....: HE COMMITTED TROOPS FOR LIE? I don't think any president, given the same intelligence, would have done otherwise. Especially after the attacks of 9-11. To not react swiftly would have been irresponsible. WAR FOR OIL?? I guess that one is over. I just paid 2.35 a gallon to fill my truck...It's a mini truck with a 10 gallon tank, so I have not taken a loan...yet. WAR FOR HALIBURTON? Just name any other company with half of the resources, training and experience in the oil and construction industry. Then ask them to get to Iraq within 6 months with trained personnel and equipment. Then ask them to operate in a war zone, under fire and threat of sabotage. It can't be done by any other company. This is what they do. They are good at it; and nobody can get close to their record or experience in these matters. NO BID CONTRACTS? Haliburton has been a contractor for the U.S. government in the middle east for decades, and...Presidents. They are the only company with the necessary resources. SADDAM WAS NOT LINKED TO 9-11? I almost feel bad about trying to explain this one. NO KIDDING!!, there are no direct links to Saddam and 9-11. The war on terror is much larger than Saddam and Iraq. Clearly, Saddam was linked to many terrorist organizations. He paid the families of suicide bombers $25,000 for gosh sakes!! TERRORISTS ARE POURING INTO IRAQ AS A RESULT OF U.S. ACTION? Of course they are!!!!!! Jeese, the idea that this is a bad thing escapes me. The terrorists are focused on Iraq, like moths to a bug light. We kill them in Iraq and they are unable to attack my family here? Sounds good to me!!
If you ask me, Americans should be damn proud of our response to terrorism and our choice of contractors in the theatre. The best is the best for a reason. We are the best, and that causes some people discomfort. Well, get over it! And thank God we are as benevolent as we are. Though our power is great, we do not seek domination,.....only peace. We do not seek resources,....only free markets. We do not seek anything more than what we so proudly stand for,...equality. Those who don't get it.....just don't GET IT!!

Congress Approves Bill to Fight Anti-Semitism
Sunday, October 10, 2004
BANG!!!!!! Mark Steyn has Edwards' number
summarizing.....
The strongest force in international affairs is inertia. It's everywhere: a continuous pressure from the U.N., the EU, the Chinese, the Arab League, the State Department and half the federal bureaucracy to do nothing about anything -- do nothing about the Sudanese genocide until everyone's dead, do nothing about Iran's nuclear program until it's complete and the silos are loaded, do nothing about anything except hold meetings and issue statements of concern. To resist the allure of inertia will require enormous will, not just from the president but from the American people. After the vice presidential debate, it was said by many on the right that Dick Cheney came over as the grown-up and John Edwards as the callow youth. But that goes for the audience too. Cheney treated the American people as grown-ups, Edwards condescended to the electorate as a nation of coatless girls. He's wrong, I hope.

Washington Post v. New York Times on Social Security - Jack Kemp
The recent middleweight title match between reigning champ Bernard Hopkins and the "Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya was billed as an historical event, one for the ages, like Hagler-Leonard circa 1987. Unfortunately for boxing fans the event didn't meet expectations. In the political world the opposite has occurred, a little billed, and even less noticed, bout between two print-media heavyweights the Washington Post and New York Times is taking place. In that fight these two media titans that have taken just about opposite corners on one of the most pressing domestic issues of our time -- Social Security reform.
In the red corner stands the Washington Post. Its editorial page has historically leaned liberal-left, but they have also taken decidedly principled and nuanced positions on issues such as school choice, international trade and, now, Social Security reform. Recently the Post editorialized that, "Mr. Bush's sympathizers are right that Social Security privatization could reduce long-term deficits, and right that the nation should not be deterred by the transition costs." It's a shame Kerry's campaign didn't "read the memo" before they put him on the line for higher payroll taxes.
The Washington Post also discarded the class-warfare mantra that has consumed Democratic candidates and party loyalists reasoning that: "Privatization could also stimulate economic growth, boosting tax revenues and so strengthening the nation's fiscal prospects via a second route." They continued, "Private accounts would boost national savings" thus "savings would become more plentiful," which, in turn, would "stimulate extra corporate investment and growth." Not bad, eh? A "semi-supply-side" position.
In the blue corner stands the reigning, but aging, champ, the New York Times. The Times editorial page is the most read and one of the most liberal pages in print today. It has stood with liberal orthodoxy regardless of the facts -- or regardless of a "preponderance of evidence" as Dan Rather and CBS might say (read this)
THE PRESIDENT IS BACK
October 9, 2004
The president finally showed the guts, determination and focus that earned him victories in the three debates with Al Gore. He finally did his homework. He focused on his briefing points and mobilized his rhetoric to win the second debate.
It was Reagan-Mondale all over again. In the first debate of 1984, Walter Mondale soundly defeated Ronald Reagan, and in the process raised questions about the elderly president's metal acuity. In the first debate of 2004, Kerry's victory raised worries about President Bush's mental acuity. But in the second debate of his re-election year, Reagan rebounded through his humor to reassure the doubters. Twenty years later, Bush recovered through his aggressiveness to make clear that he is still the president, still the man.
Bush won even in the domestic-policy part of the debate ?a victory that was as unlikely as John Kerry's win in last week's confrontation on foreign issues. By explaining his tax-cut policies and hanging John Edwards' trial-lawyer record around Kerry's neck, he rebutted the Democratic attacks and made his own record visible and showcased it compellingly.

The Report That Nails Saddam
OP-ED COLUMNIST
The Report That Nails Saddam
By DAVID BROOKS
Saddam Hussein saw his life as an unfolding epic narrative, with retreats and advances, but always the same ending. He would go down in history as the glorious Arab leader, as the Saladin of his day. One thousand years from now, schoolchildren would look back and marvel at the life of The Struggler, the great leader whose life was one of incessant strife, but who restored the greatness of the Arab nation.
They would look back and see the man who lived by his saying: "We will never lower our heads as long as we live, even if we have to destroy everybody." Charles Duelfer opened his report on Iraqi weapons of mass destruction with those words. For a humiliated people, Saddam would restore pride by any means.
Saddam knew the tools he would need to reshape history and establish his glory: weapons of mass destruction. These weapons had what Duelfer and his team called a "totemic" importance to him. With these weapons, Saddam had defeated the evil Persians. With these weapons he had crushed his internal opponents. With these weapons he would deter what he called the "Zionist octopus" in both Israel and America.
But in the 1990's, the world was arrayed against him to deprive him of these weapons. So Saddam, the clever one, The Struggler, undertook a tactical retreat. He would destroy the weapons while preserving his capacities to make them later. He would foil the inspectors and divide the international community. He would induce it to end the sanctions it had imposed to pen him in. Then, when the sanctions were lifted, he would reconstitute his weapons and emerge greater and mightier than before.
The world lacked what Saddam had: the long perspective. Saddam understood that what others see as a defeat or a setback can really be a glorious victory if it is seen in the context of the longer epic.
Saddam worked patiently to undermine the sanctions. He stored the corpses of babies in great piles, and then unveiled them all at once in great processions to illustrate the great humanitarian horrors of the sanctions.(rest of the story)

American success story of historic proportions - Afghanistan
Tuesday, October 05, 2004
THE ARMY WINS - and no comment from the Kerry camp at all
Last week, in a superb lightning operation, Maj.-Gen. John R. S. Batiste and his Big Red One gave the Iraqi people and America a significant win.
IN a remarkable display of skill, elements of the U.S. Army's 1st Infantry Division and newly trained Iraqi national forces drove the terrorists from the city of Samarra last week. Killing over 100 of freedom's enemies and capturing many more, our troops lost a single soldier.
Wouldn't it be lovely if Kerry could summon up the decency to thank them?

Prepare Yourself For the VP Debate - Take Action
The debate tonight presents a tremendous opportunity for the campaign to attract undecided voters, but people's perceptions are shaped as much by their conversations around the water cooler as by the debates themselves.
The Vice President's goal is to do what he's been doing throughout this election: explain to the American people why the President's policies are right for America and the world we live in today - in fighting the war on terror, in keeping our economy growing and in responding to the new challenges of the 21st century.
After last week's debate, the Kerry campaign spin machine managed to mask their candidate's flip-flops on the war in Iraq, imposition of a "global test" for protecting America, and repeated denigration of our troops and allies.
If we plan to win the election, we must fight back against their spin and make sure our friends and neighbors get the truth.

Tell Me Again...... No WMD's or Terrorist Ties?????
By Scott Wheeler
CNSNews.com Staff Writer
October 04, 2004
(CNSNews.com) - Iraqi intelligence documents, confiscated by U.S. forces and obtained by CNSNews.com, show numerous efforts by Saddam Hussein's regime to work with some of the world's most notorious terror organizations, including al Qaeda, to target Americans. They demonstrate that Saddam's government possessed mustard gas and anthrax, both considered weapons of mass destruction, in the summer of 2000, during the period in which United Nations weapons inspectors were not present in Iraq. And the papers show that Iraq trained dozens of terrorists inside its borders. Full Story
Journalistic Methodology Used to Report Details of Saddam's Terror Ties

Forty-two pages of photocopied official Iraqi Intelligence Service documents, some hand-written and some typed in 1993, serve as the basis for Scott Wheeler's article, entitled, "Saddam Possessed WMD, Had Extensive Terror Ties." The memos reflect communication between the Iraqi Intelligence Service and Saddam Hussein, by way of his top assistant, the secretary to the president. Tables indicating the Iraqi regime's possession of mustard gas and anthrax in the summer of 2000 are included in the documents, as is a list of 92 individuals believed to have been trained inside Iraq for terrorism operations. rest of the story
