Bushie's got nothing to lose. Have the FTC call the jerks before them on interstate commerce of defective product and service. Hold them to the standards of all other businesses and industries that pawn off defective merchandise and engage in misleading and false advertising. Its not about Free Speech. Its about commerce.

Good gawd, I hope this too blows up in their face. The pajamahadin have struck again, lol!
I'd be willing to bet that the average American would be horrified at not only the level of bias in the MSM, but the jihadis "staging" of events in the Middle East to favor their agenda. I saw all I needed to when I viewed that video from Palestine, where the Palestinians were carrying their latest martyr (under a sheet) upon their shoulders. They set him down, and when the MSM cameras left (but this Documentarian still rolled), the "dead" guy got up from under his sheet and walked away.
Then, we had the "Hollywoodized" shootouts between the Palestinians and the Jooos, and the role the (conveniently nearby) Red Thingy's ambulances played completely busted up. "Staging" these events is dispicable, but then reporting it as news, and thus, causing further hatred and death is traitorious.

(1) During the cold war a section of Yugoslavia was called Macedonia. This was done purely to create issues with Greece which had a section called Macedonia as well. (2) The constitution of West Germany was written so that the states of East Germany could be added with little or no effort when the time was right.
Iraq has Shia Arabs areas and Kurdish areas that sprawl into neighboring countries. The Iraqi constitution should be ammended and debated so that Kurdish and Shia Arab areas in neighboring Iran and Syria are open for inclusion into Federal Iraq.
Iran and Syria are pretty sure we won't invade but they're probably convinced their own minorities might rise up if provided with total air cover. And the Shia Arab parts of Saudi Arabia (the unmentioned threat) and Iran is the section with the oil. Iran and Syria would understand the threat and back down in some face-saving way.
Check it out - one of the Carter Center's own, Dr. Kenneth W. Stein - an expert in Middle East politics and history, takes on Jimmuh's Palestine: Peace, Not Apartheid. It's a major smackdown.

Being a former President does not give one a unique privilege to invent information or to unpack it with cuts, deftly slanted to provide a particular outlook.
Worked for Carter in the past. Slick Willie, too.

Ouch. Anyone with the slightest tinge of honesty in his soul would would be unable to venture forth from the darkest recesses of his home after Professor Stein's statement, lest someone aware of it might see him. Mr. Carter, however, will be unfazed, I'm quite certain, claiming special knowledge because of his special work experience.

Carter has been forced to gulp twice in one week-once over being accused of being anti-Semitic on C-Span, once over a long-time and expert colleague basically saying that Carter fabricates truths about the conflict. Beautiful.

Carter has never really gotten the justifiably vicious review of his presidency that he deserves.
The entire nation was just so glad at his departure that nobody got around to it.
However, in the future, Carter and Clinton will be inexorably tied together as utterly wasted, worse-than-useless presidencies. Being peers at the bottom of the class, comparisons will be inevitable.
And this will irritate both of them more than anything else.

Not according to too many true believers (like my siblings, unfortunately). Just last month I was listening to them spew the old "Carter was too decent a man to be a good president" line. GAG!

NO GOP-DEM strategy(s) regardless of merits will work when POLITIX MATTERS MORE THAN NATIONAL SAFETY/SECURITY. Nothing will work iff people or Pols wilfully do not want anything to work becuz of nepotist desires for power, ala movie FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE, the end-scene where honest Roman Soldier-General walks away wid his Lady love whilst Roman Emperorships go to the highest bidders. THE DEMS KNOW AMER IS IN A FIGHT FOR ITS VERY LIFE, IDENTITY + espec its EXISTENCE, yet prefer to humiliate their own country + POTUS despite recognizing the merits/worth of his policies in regards to overall US security. THE DEMS KNOW IFF WE DON'T FIGHT "OVER THERE", AMER IS GONNA SEE NEW TERROR + ENEMY ARMIES "OVER HERE", IN OUR OWN BACKYARDS, ERGO DEGRADE DUBYA + AMERICA. America's enemies no longer desire or tolerate the "status guo" - ANY COLD WAR PRETENSE OF "BUYING THEM OFF" WID US $$$/ECON CONCESSIONS IS NO LONGER ACCEPTABLE, and indeed only adds to their preceptions of our weakness and national divisions. THEY WANNA KILL US, FOREVER AND EVER, NOT MERELY TO HURT US, AND NHAVE NO QUALMS USING OUR OWN VALUES AND SYSTEMS, ANYTHING AND EVRYTHING, AGZ US.

The current Borat movie has audiences rolling in the aisles over the premise that America is a narrow, intolerant, homosexual-hating, anti-Semitic nation unmasked by the comedian masquerading as a Moslem.
I'd like to offer a different interpretation. I think it shows clearly that Americans are by far the most tolerant, cordial, open and accommodating people in the world.
While the rest of the world continues to wallow in concerns about blood ties and clan loyalties from the village to the national level, the only people who've I've witness adopt children regardless of blood, color, race, religion, or national origin has been Americans by the legion[and we can probably throw in our Canadian cousins]. Americans will not only take them in, but many make the effort to preserve the best of the child's heritage and not the part that treated them like throw aways.

The article was good until it went to Iraq then it turned into fantasy. Iranian is the enemy, the sooner politicians and pundits really 'get' that the sooner we'll win. I hope it doesn't take a disaster for them to get it.
Might U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton have been given a unanimous vote from the Senate confirmation committee-had he only assured senators that America was not winning in Iraq?
Another reader wrote recently, inquiring why is it that a defeated Saddam easily put down insurrectionists in March 1991 and restored "order", while we the victors now cannot. I suggested he ask either Sen. Jay Rockefeller or Sec. General Kofi Annan who have both implied, in various ways, that Iraq was better off under Saddam.
But there is a paradox a militarily strong U.S. that abhors the savage methods that a weakened Saddam used to put down Shiite and Kurdish nationalists, and rightly refuses to employ such tactics in subduing terrorists and jihadist killers, is both criticized as Saddam-like (cf. Sen. Kennedy's comments about Abu Ghraib), and yet pilloried for being impotent for not restoring order. The only constant is that whatever the US does is seen as wrong.
It seems that the serial hysteria that engulfs Washington (whether Dick Cheney's shotgun or Marc Foley's email) has now concluded that Iraq is a goner, and therefore only those who reaffirm that canard can be expected to be judged wise and sober.
But while we scream, there are still the events on the ground that go on obliviously: the Iraqi government continues, the jihadists have not taken over the country or advanced a comprehensive agenda that captures popular support, and the U.S. military is constantly changing tactics. Vietnam is evoked constantly, but 1974-5 seems the only proper referent, when ten years of terrible sacrifice that led to an autonomous South Vietnam were abruptly thrown away by failure to aid and fund the anti-communists. Before the mythical lemmings run headlong over the cliff they should stop and consider carefully whether Iraq really is a hopeless fiasco, or in fact can be saved, and saved in such a fashion that 10 years from now the creation in the heart of the ancient caliphate of a consensual government in lieu of Saddam's Murder, Inc. will be considered a rare moral achievement.

For one thing, because the current insurrectionists are the same Nazis using the same methods they used to terrorize Iraq in the past. The difference is the Ba'athists/Nazis no longer have the machinery of the state to effect their terror but must rely on Saudi hand-outs to do the job.

The difference is the left doesn't care when brown people kill and mutilate each otherbut they do care when Western people do so. (Same with Slavery and random genocides throughout history)
#3
More like the Left doesn't care about brown people hacking each other, but don't want their own hides involved. They were real enthusiastic about sending troops to Somalia, Kosovo, etc. They didn't complain about Viet Nam until their draft numbers were coming up.
What they capture, they keep. When they lose, they complain to the U.N. By Raymond Ibrahim
IN THE DAYS before Pope Benedict XVI's visit last Thursday to the Hagia Sophia complex in Istanbul, Muslims and Turks expressed fear, apprehension and rage. "The risk," according to Turkey's independent newspaper Vatan, "is that Benedict will send Turkey's Muslims and much of the Islamic world into paroxysms of fury if there is any perception that the pope is trying to re-appropriate a Christian center that fell to Muslims." Apparently making the sign of the cross or any other gesture of Christian worship in Hagia Sophia constitutes such a sacrilege.
Built in the 6th century, Hagia Sophia Greek for "Holy Wisdom" was Christendom's greatest and most celebrated church. After parrying centuries of jihadi thrusts from Arabs, Constantinople now Istanbul was finally sacked by Turks in 1453, and Hagia Sophia's crosses were desecrated, its icons defaced. Along with thousands of other churches in the Byzantine Empire, it was immediately converted into a mosque, the tall minarets of Islam surrounding it in triumph. Nearly 500 years later, in 1935, as part of reformer Kemal Ataturk's drive to modernize Turkey, Hagia Sophia was secularized and transformed into a museum.

This is all grotesque. What I would like to see is an African "thank you" movement where some folks thank the Royal Navy for ending the Atlantic slave trade.

No guilt here, I never owned slaves nor has anyone in my family tree. As a matter of fact I don't remember meeting anyone that was a slave, except in theri mind.

Actually there are some Korean comfort women taken by force to work in Imperial Japanese Army brothels in WWII still alive today. Always brought a sense of irony when the blacks in LA were burning up Korean grocers and stores and rationalizing how it as pay back to the man back in the early 90s.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
