#1 Well Dan Darling,

If you get your head out of butt long enough to listen to everything that came out today indicating that congress knew all about this from day one, but no, the liberal BS flows.

Won't stick dirtbag.

#2 Hey!

Dan's reporting the news. You don't like it, do something about it.

Dan's also a moderator here, and we mods don't take kindly to name-calling.

#3 RG:

I know that Congress already knew about it - I posted the article saying just that the other day. All the same, we need to be aware of what's happening on Capitol Hill with regard to the prosecution of the WOT even if we don't like it, especially if the result of this stuff is another Church Commission or an attempt to make us fight a war by committee.

#4 "...with regard to the prosecution of the WOT..."

Thats right. Prosecute the HELL out of the War on Terror. You give 500 congressmen and women the likes of Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy, Conyors, and Murtha, "oversight" on the war on terror that they want stopped, immediately, you might as well ignore the voters that put them in a minority.

Steve, "we are moderators" big bad dog. You suddenly don't like rant, crawl under your bed, son.

#5 One more thing "DARLING".

Congress has too much oversite NOW. That is how this was leaked!

America elected this President for a second term becuase he promised to do this very type of security effort on behalf of America against terrorists, and if these morons, oh lets not let STEVE hear that, might hurt his wimpy ears, who are trying to alert Al Qaeda where there boys are being held, or that we are monitoring their conversations being made locally, then we need LESS oversight. A whole hell of a lot less!

They've been prosecuting not only the WOT but our leadership involved in the WOT since these Dhimi's lost the election!

#9 RG is angry at the Congress, but taking it out on DD. While I would not shoot the messenger, I do empathize with his fury at the fecklessness of Dhims. They are going to get a lot of innocent Americans killed. When that starts, the revolutions is here.

I think RG's sentiments represent a growing segment of the people, but he has the wrong target today.

#10 Angry at Congress - fine. I can barely say the word lately without spitting, myself.

But a shitstorm on Dan is not only uncalled for, it suggests an appalling ignorance and/or basic lack of housetraining on RG's part.

Dan is scarcely on the side of the anti-war weenies. That's why his stints here, at Winds of Change and elsewhere won him an internship at the American Enterprise Institute with Michael Ledeen and now a position with the Manhattan Institute.

And RG, if you don't know who they are, or what positions they take on this stuff, google is a good way to keep from embarassing yourself with more attacks on Dan and others here. Or you can search through the RB archives to see what other things Dan has posted - and what he's said about them.

#11 Looks to me like "RG" is confused: he thinks Dan is the article's auther.

Clue to RG: the name you see at the bottom of an article here on Rantburg, where it says "Posted by..." is **NOT** the author of the article; it indicates the person who **FOUND** the article and posted it on Rantburg for us to throw darts at, laugh at, or whatever.

In this case, the author of the article is a Washington Post professional jerkoff and moonbat named Dana Millbank.

White puts the pitch down the middle, RG swings, and it's ssstrike one...

#13 LOL. Classic comedy. In which one character is completely out of touch and brings on much hilarity. Obviously Case Latella.

#14 frankly RG - you owe Dan an apology

#15 Everyone is pissed off at the traitors in Congress, RG. Especially here at Rantburg. More like the Fury level of the emot-o-meter. These traitorious overfed, overbribed pigs are trying to snatch victory and security away from all of us.

Take a deep breath, count to a number between 10 and 10,000, and start coming up with some rational solutions on how to get this government unstuck off stupid. We do not need internal personal attacks, we need solutions, and we will need them in a timely manner.

#16 If every member of Congress placed greater value on to the safety and security of the US than they do on the stroking of their massive political egos, or their constant state of apology for American foreign policy, or their desire to be liked internationally, they might be trusted with information. As long as America's security comes second, third, or so below the meter as to be unmeasurable, questionable secrecies will abound.

#17 "frankly RG - you owe Dan an apology" - Frank G.

I am tired of watching conservatives apologizing. I am tired of a bunch of people calling themselves "conservatives" raising hell about the libs at their favorite conservative blog on the internet and then demanding others conservatives apologize to them if one of them steps on anothers toes and then looking for the TV remote. NEVER confronting a liberal and demanding an apology. I am tired of having a majority in the house, the senate, the oval office asking our 18, 19, 20, 21 year sons and daughters to go over there where the terrorists are and DOING SOMETHING, even to the extent of getting their arms and legs blown off if not out right killed fighting terror while this majority of conservatives on the hill allows these liberals run amuck since Vietnam, liberals standing up for any enemy of America that comes along.

Regarding Darling. Each evening I go to conservative and even Iraqi blogs and see highly orchestrated attacks on the war on terror by CAIR, MOVEON.ORG, George Soros, Green Peace, etc., etc. etc.. These people constantly posting articles such as Dans. Until that post I did not know Dan. He appeared to me to be one of those many libs at other sites dropping in posting an article to support their "cause", which they are doing EVERY DAY NOW in swarms at many of the other conservative sites. If a platoon is coming under a hell of a lot of fire and a stranger you do not know walks up with a notice that you ass is going to be kicked some more that stranger may find himself dancing to the tune of a 30 round clip. But there are a group of us who are doing a hell of a lot more than posting or commenting and then looking for the TV remote. We are trying to as much as we can to support those permanently disabled kids coming in from the battle field who look at you and say, "What did you do for me while I was over there losing my arms and legs for you?"

I am tired of conservative apologies. If people can post a bunch of comments and articles here, they can post comments at their representatives sites, or at the sites of their party in support of getting things changed on there area.

If all you can do is ask other conservatives for apologies, and not actively pursue the libs for an apology - NO - not anymore. Not this conservative.

#18 Fire discipline, RG. Fire discipline.

Nobody's saying not to shoot the bastards. But you might want to take at least the basic precautions to make sure it's not friendly fire you're shooting off.

AND .... there are plenty of posters here who are either current or retired military or military spouses. Tell us - I'm one of the latter - what we don't already know about young men and women losing limbs and lives on our behalf.

I personally have stood at the grave of several in the last few months. And one I care about very personally is about to deploy.

'nuff said.

#19 And there's the second pitch.. and it's strike two...

#20 RG, you're hollering at the wrong person. Again: Dan's not the guy who wrote the article. He knows it's political posturing as well as you do. He's a valued poster and a moderator here.

Conservatives are perfectly capable of apologizing when they're wrong. An "Oops, sorry, thought you were somebody else" would be perfectly appropriate.
