An Excellent Video

I like this video. I think no matter what your opinion is of the Iraq War and Politics behind it. Our troops deserve nothing but our support. Anyone one who does anything other than this, quite frankly, is un-American.

 

 

What strikes me, is how the person the introduced this, is like so no interested in handling the story. He can’t even smile when doing a report? Can you say Bias?

Saturday Political Headlines!

It’s the weekend. I am taking it off from writing Political articles. Hey, we all need a break. So….. Here’s the stuff that’s happening in the Political World…:

The Obama/Hillary Primary Saga Continues and Continues….

Meanwhile, the rest of the world is going to hell and a hand-basket.

The Economy is killing the Movie industry.

People want to know what will Fox News do, if a democrat takes the White House, I wonder, "who cares?" I’m sure they’ll have plenty to do, like smearing the President. (anyone remember Bill Clinton????!?!?!)

Obama’s Pastor makes an appearance, conservative media goes ape…..

Obama’s Pastor is also beyond the Pale, so says Philly Mayor. I was thinking Black Nationalist myself.

The Corner Says that the chickens of identity politics are coming home to roost.

How to avoid a Democrat Disater

The latest on the Basra Situation in Iraq

The Defeatist drums just continue to pound.

Students of Virginity?

The Gender wars continue, Dude…. errr Ummm.. Ma’am.

Team Hillary crosses the line……. again?

Death toll in Iraq hits 4,000, Which is why must FINISH the JOB!

Unlike some in the Blogging community, who think we should just turn tail and run, without finishing what we started. Well, I am not among that crowd.

The Article: U.S. death toll in Iraq hits 4,000 (via msnbc.com)

A roadside bomb killed four U.S. soldiers in Baghdad on Sunday, the military said, pushing the overall American death toll in the five-year war to at least 4,000.

The grim milestone came on the same day that rockets and mortars pounded the U.S.-protected Green Zone, underscoring the fragile security situation and the resilience of both Sunni and Shiite extremist groups despite an overall lull in violence.

A Multi-National Division — Baghdad soldier also was wounded in the roadside bombing, which struck the soldiers’ patrol vehicle about 10 p.m. in southern Baghdad, according to a statement.

4,000. That is now the new number of dead in Iraq, since the war started. It is indeed a sad reminder that freedom is not free and the, quite frankly, war is hell. Sad

However, I believe that if we leave Iraq, before the job is complete, before we fix what we broke, we will dearly pay for it later.

I realize, like many of my Liberal counterparts on the left and far left, that we did go into that country on some bad information. However, unlike them, I realize that we’ve been there too long now, and that country is leaning on us, for us to just walk away and leave them poor people holding the bag, would be tragic mistake of Biblical proportions.

I believe if we left Iraq too fast, it would become a death trap for those people, they need us. We are just now making headway, and if we don’t continue the path we are on, our nation will pay for it, one way or another.

Thoughts and Prayers go out tonight, on this 31 degree night here in the United States,  to some very brave Men and Women, who are fighting, so we can have the freedom to blog, to argue, and just general be truly free.

God Bless our troops.

McCain sneaks off to Iraq……again

As if this guy couldn’t get any lamer

This Happens: News Via AP: McCain makes unannounced trip to Iraq (via Yahoo News)

Sen. John McCain, the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee for president who has linked his political future to U.S. success in Iraq, was in Baghdad on Sunday for meetings with Iraqi and U.S. diplomatic and military officials, a U.S. government official said.

Details of McCain’s visit were not being released for security reasons, the U.S. Embassy said.

McCain’s visit was not announced and he was believed to have been in the country for several hours before reporters were able to confirm his arrival. It was unclear who he met with; no media opportunities or news conferences were planned.

McCain, a strong supporter of the U.S. military mission in Iraq, is believed to be staying in the country for about 24 hours.

"Senator McCain is in Iraq and will be meeting with Iraqi and U.S. officials," said Mirembe Nantongo, spokesman for the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

Gee, I wonder if he had half of the United States Armed Forces with him this time? I wonder what he said to those people in Iraq, "Well Boys, It looks like we will be here for 100 years. Get used to it."?

Oh, to be a fly on the wall during those meetings!

Saturday Short takes

I am going to be away from the Computer and Blog, and basically news coverage for the rest of the afternoon.

So, here are your Saturday Political and News Short takes…..

Chick that was being "Pimped Out" to Governor of New York, is now mad because her photos got out to the press.

Obama Pastor-Gate continues on Saturday, I can’t believe people are still writing about this.

Living proof that far right wingers should not drive cars, Much less write Blogs and magazine articles.

A fine example of the legal system being abused…..in DAKAR.

There is progress in Iraq, or as this guy puts it, "The Surge is Working"… Some disagree, But I digress. Funny thing is, they put this story on page A13 in the Washington Post.

The Michigan and Florida Delegate-Gate Battle Continues. 

The House votes to tell President George W. Bush to kiss their collective backsides, in regards to telecom immunity. 

Oh Yeah and Obama Resko-Gate Continues as well.

See you all either Tomorrow or much later tonight.

Speak for yourself, idiot libber….

Now this here, is the type of people that I totally detest. Angry

Commentary: Why I Don’t Support the Troops (via Berkeley Daily Planet)

In the recent political battle around the Marine recruiting station in Berkeley there has been much confusion around the concept or slogan of “supporting the troops,” but opposing the unjust wars of the Bush regime. Many who oppose the Bush regime wars also say they “support the troops.” Let me say it straight out—I do not support the troops and neither should you. It is objectively impossible to support the troops of the imperialist military forces of the U.S. and at the same time oppose the wars in which they fight.

This idiot ought to be arrested and tried for treason. These are the one’s that the Far right are talking about. "Imperialist Military Forces", kiss my behind! Damn Liberal twit.

I see why they use the term "Moonbat" to describe these idiots.

Don’t like the country? Get the hell out and live in Russia or better yet, Iran. They’d love you there.

Democrats win Seat held by Rep. Dennis Hastert

Read about it here.

There is quite a bit that could be said about this. Many other Bloggers have already written much of it.

The writing is simply on the wall. I do not place the blame squarely on Bush himself. Because I am keenly aware of how things operate in Washington D.C., I know that the blame does not all go to him.

I blame the advisers who went to him, the ones who were the dye-in-the-wool Neo-Conservatives, who went to him and said, "We can change the shape of the middle east, by invading Iraq." He, of course, bought into that foolish mindset and the scramble for intelligence began and when they found a piece of questionable intelligence, they proceeded to cherry pick it, to suit their needs.

What followed was the quagmire that we are involved with now. This will end up costing this Nation for many years to come. Current cost estimates are at 3 trillion dollars.

Of course, this all did happen and it is not a nightmare, and at what cost? Conservatism is now in it’s death throws, Republicans are now the scourge of American, Obama is the new messiah for America and the Democrats will, most likely, hold the majority in the both houses of Congress.

America wants change and Obama and, somewhat, Hillary are offering that. But what kind of a change are they really going to bring?   What will we see? An end to a war, ended so fast that Iraq descends into chaos? Will we see Churches being closed because they dare to speak out against the Homosexual lifestyle? America’s tax system changed to force churches to pay income tax? Our civil liberties being taken away, the ability to set up a blog and criticize the government, taken away as a threat to national security?

Some of us have not forgotten the tragedy, which happened in Waco, Texas.  I often ask myself, if the liberals take the White House again, will there be more Waco’s? Will they be more Ruby Ridges? Will they be more out of control Government Police action?

I have always believed in balance in Government, the balance of two political parties, both checking one another and each preventing the other gaining total power in the houses of Government. However, what we are seeing now, with the Conservatives being chased to the fox holes, is possible throwing of our Government into a total liberal state, and quite frankly, that scares me to death. I believe in freedom, in all it’s forms, whether it be Speech, Religion, Expression, Press, or whatever else, and I am quite afraid that the Liberals do not believe in total freedom, oh they believe in freedom of speech, as long as it fits their political ideologies.

There are those who say that the Iraq War will bankrupt this Nation. I disagree, I believe that National Healthcare plan will bankrupt this Nation or at worst, place a bigger demand of foreign currency from China and other countries. This is totally eroding our Nation’s sovereignty, with each deposit that we take. 

It is going to be an interesting four years, after the liberals win Congress and the White House. I just have a sinking feeling that the United States is going to be stuck with buyers remorse, because many people are, to coin a phrase, "Betting the farm", on this new messiah, and I have sinking feeling that there is going to be this massive let down, when he gets in office and absolutely nothing changes. It is a grim outlook, but I am afraid it is the reality of the situation at hand.
