Republicans Reportedly "transitioning" away from the FISA Telecom Immunity fight….
Glenn Greenwald Reports that The Hill is reporting the following:
I’m still traveling and so have only a little bit of time to comment, but The Hill is reporting that the GOP is de-prioritizing their efforts to enact the Rockefeller/Cheney FISA bill:
"House Republicans are poised to shift their focus from national security to the economy, hoping to rally opposition to what they claim are Democratic plans to raise taxes amid the economic downturn.
Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) is expected to announce Thursday that the House GOP floor emphasis will transition away from passing the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and earmark reform to "stop the tax hike.""
I tend to think that the Republicans, at least the ones in the Senate realize that they are not going to win this fight and that it could cost them some serious votes in the coming election. So, I tend to think they’ve changed their priorities.
Unlike some of the more of the ardent Right Wingers or as the rest of the World calls them, the Right Wing Lunatic Fridge, I know that if these companies get immunity, America’s Justice system would be totally undermined. Now, do I believe that the Bush Administration broke the law? I do not know that, as I have zero proof of such claim.
My feelings are, if the Bush Administration has done nothing wrong, then what do they have to hide? If they’ve done nothing wrong, they should not have a problem with the investigations or lawsuit, because they would be vindicated.
Unlike some of the more far right Conservatives, I do not believe that Corporate power should be protected. Every American, of any Religious persuasion, and yes, that does include Muslim, have the right to legal recourse, if they feel that they’ve been unfairly investigated. That is one of our Nation’s founding principles.

Iraq News Update via AP
The Dutch are cowards.
I think it’s the best movie ever made, about Islam.
I personally think we need to follow Ann Coulter’s Advice.
We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren’t punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That’s war. And this is war. – Source
No wiser words have been said.
This is what happens, when you don't fight a war, like we did in World War 2
Two Words. Carpet Bomb.
What we should have done, in the first place!
Now we’re stuck in the middle of faction wars.
Stupid morons. ![]()
Update: What’s even more stupid than that, is the fact that the now that this increase in violence has occurred, the far lefty liberal Moonbats, are now starting to sing that old tired song….
What song? Oh, "The Surge is not working!" and "Iraq is falling apart!", and on and on it goes. I find it quite interesting that when things were going fine in Iraq, that the Moonbat crowd did not have a THING to say about the surge. In fact, the silence was quite deafening.
But now that the Surge, which I personally think was a stupid term, it should have been called, "What we should have done, in the first place!", is encountering some violence, the liberals are now breaking out of the defeatist hymns and striking up the band.
I just wonder, how long will it be before the Magic Negro and the Closet Lesbo for President will be leading the charge into the politics of defeat again?
Should be interesting…..
Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for progressive thought, Unions and the like, but these Liberal Defeatists, like the one I linked to above, don’t speak for me, at all.
Funding the very terrorists we're supposed to be fighting against
That’s right folks.
Via WorldNetDaily:
Just days after it was announced the U.S. would transfer $150 million directly to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas’ government, members of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terror group, the declared military wing of Abbas’ Fatah party, were told they would receive cash grants, WND has learned.
According to Palestinian militant sources familiar with the issue, earlier this month, 20 members of the Brigades leadership in the West Bank city of Ramallah complained to PA Prime Minister Salam Fayyad they did not have enough money to pay their bills, including, for many of them, rent for their apartments.
Last week, according to the informed sources, Fayyad told the complaining Brigades leaders he would provide them with a one-time grant of $3,000 each, or $60,000 to the Ramallah-based Brigades leadership.
The sources said after Brigades leaders in other West Bank cities, including Hebron and Nablus, heard of the grants, they also demanded pay increases.
"Some of the other fighters accused Fayyad of favoring the Brigades leaders in Ramallah since that’s where Fayyad lives," said a militant source. "So he gave grants also to other cells."
Unreal. Can the lies and deceptions, from this feckless administration, be any clearer?
I guess Ron Paul was correct. ![]()
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. ![]()
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.
