#1 "Champ and ...Kerry ...are preparing the groundwork for the US to abandon Iraq" ...

East Asia + 1/2 of Pacific, Hawaii = EASTPAC?, 1/2 of CONUS-NORAM for "living space", but hey who's measuring???

I hear Californey may break up into six new states, but clearly there is no common link wid the above ....

Or is there???

#2 Hadda a dream the night before last. I was trapped in a hotel with Champ, and all the doors were locked -- except for the public area bathrooms. Champ didn't seem to care.

#3 That's not a dream - that's a nightmare!

#4 Excellent piece Doctor. Darth Bolton was interviewed yesterday and he mirrors your assessment on Champ's obvious lack of concern for our national security.

I suspect Champ, now realizing he's approaching the "the back nine" of his term, is anxious to complete his domestic social justice, redistro plan. Defense is a nice big pot of money, and the military generally didn't vote for him anyway.

He may have other things on his mind right now. That creamy Danish at the Mandela Memorial may have put FLOTUS over the top. Nothing like a little family scandal to occupy the press.

#5 SYMPOSIUM: IF I WANTED AMERICA TO FAIL …
Socrates (470-399 B.C.) – a renowned Greek philosopher from Athens who taught Plato, and Plato taught Aristotle and Aristotle taught Alexander the Great. Socrates used a method of teaching by asking leading questions. The Greeks called this form dialectic – starting from a thesis or question, then discussing ideas and moving back and forth between points of view to determine how well ideas stand up to critical review with the ultimate principle of the Socratic dialectic being Veritas – Truth.

Note: Above taken from the Ellis Washington Report, and there from a the video and column “If I wanted America to fail” by Ryan Houck, executive director of FreeMarketAmerica.org, a project of Americans for Limited Government. His work was inspired by Paul Harvey’s “If I were the Devil” published in 1964 and 1996.

#6 History warns either you influence events or events influence you. As dirty as foreign affairs and involvement are, reducing yourself to only responding to outside 'stimuli' means giving the initiative to others who, by the record, are not concerned with your good will or well being.

#7 Champ is nothing more than Buchanan with a wife. It's the American people who are the problem. They can be forgiven for electing him once. But twice, when it's clear what he was? There's only one reason he was re-elected. After what he's done with the power he got courtesy of them, I'd say we're even.

#12 Concluding that Champ does not care about National Security is off the mark. He most certainly does, it's just that his threat assessment has determine the American People are the greatest danger to his administration. See: the FBI's new Mission Statement.

#13 The war in Vietnam was declared "unwinnable" by Cronkite while the Democrats were still leading the country. Nixon took over and basically won the war. Democrats could not accept that and starved the South Vietnamese of support and they eventually fell.

The war in Iraq was declared unwinnable by virtually every member of the MSM. Bush doubled down with the surge and turned thing around and the war seemed to be won when the Democrats took over.

Seems they would rather lose wars than have Republicans get credit.

#15 Your right rjschwarz.

Democrats have been calling Iraq 'another Vietnam' since aout the day after it was started. Slimy Reid (spit!) as much as declared 'the war is lost' on the senate floor.

And they have been working overtime to make it (and Afghanistan) another pair of 'Vietnam' war ever since. Just so they can relive their 'Glory Days'. No matter how many American soldiers and Iraqi and Afghanistan civilian lives it may cost - in fact the more the merrier.

I wonder if Kerry still watches the films he created while he 'served' in Vietnam like the pathetic old man who still watching his big high school football win to relive his glory days. As I recall didn't he (Kerry) used to go back to sites with a camera and 're-enact' certain actions.

#16 American Power means no one can attack, assault, kill, maim, destroy Americans without they, themselves being on the fatal end of a response.

American Power means we are not having to put our children and our childrens children into extreme debt to other major countries around the world before they are old enough to get a job or before they are even born.

American Power means majority rule by all the people, and not minority rule by a few people over many people without representation.

American Power means being a good neighbor and being there when our friends need us when our friends are facing evil.

American Power. Means all of the above is worth fighting and dying to preserve for our friends, neighbors, and family.
