Dubya Speaks
Pundits and wonks probably don’t like the way George W. Bush speaks or carries himself, but it’s been refreshing compared to Clin-ton.
Watching his speech tonight, it’s remarkable how 9/11 has changed this man. Did anyone know he would be this authoritative and aggressive when it came to foreign policy? Up until that day, he did seem like just another guy. To a certain extent, that was good and bad at the same time. Now, I’m relieved he is in the White House and that he has surrounded himself with the right people to fight this war. In addition he is a man of his word…
Were the coalition to step back from the June 30th pledge, many Iraqis would question our intentions and feel their hopes betrayed. And those in Iraq who trade in hatred and conspiracy theories would find a larger audience and gain a stronger hand. We will not step back from our pledge.
We can’t turn back...not now.
Kill or Capture?
Iran’s meat puppet, Moqtada Sadr, is in Najaf and we’ve got 2500 troops waiting for him on the outskirts.
Meanwhile, a large force of 2,500 U.S. troops backed by tanks and heavy artillery—more than are currently besieging Fallujah—deployed outside the city of Najaf on Tuesday on a mission the top U.S. commander in Iraq, Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez, said aimed to “capture or kill” radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr.
This guy doesn’t seem to be able to sneak around like Saddam or Mullah Omar were able to do. Which isn’t saying much for a pudgy Iranian meat puppet. And as many other bloggers have been pointing out for a LOOONG time, the basic idea that Iran is behind a lot of this chaos is finally getting the attention that it deserves. Just hope we deal with them or hope they fall from within.
They have completely LOST it
By they, I mean the democrats.
Drudge has a story up about the St. Petersburg(FL) Democratic Club actually talking about killing Donald Rumsfeld.
We should put this S.O.B. up against a wall and say “This is one of our bad days,” and the pull the trigger.
Outside the sheer insanity of this scenario, one big point comes to my mind:
What in the HELL are Democrats doing threatening people with GUNS and GUN VIOLENCE?
Have they lost their minds? I swear, if these people want revolución, they had better pray for themselves. The rest of us won’t be so kind.

The Kerry-nator
I’m sure there is plenty of potential here with the Kerrysloganator...heh
Talk about flattering!
Hello to those of you coming from USS Clueless!!
I was just checking the statistics earlier today, and I was overwhelmed with the fact that I have gotten a MAJOR spike from Steven den Beste, over at USS Clueless. I couldn’t recall anything I had sent him to draw a mention (and both of the previous times I have sent him something - usually a comment on one of his current columns - I’ve gotten a hefty spike in traffic), and I thought I would look to see what it was.
I thought that maybe Steve or John had sent him an article or something, but the truth is much more startling…
