Neo-Con Shill William Kristol Tells Bush "Pardon Those Who Tortured and Give Them a Medal"

This is too rich….

Via the Weakly SubStandard:

One last thing: Bush should consider pardoning–and should at least be vociferously praising–everyone who served in good faith in the war on terror, but whose deeds may now be susceptible to demagogic or politically inspired prosecution by some seeking to score political points. The lawyers can work out if such general or specific preemptive pardons are possible; it may be that the best Bush can or should do is to warn publicly against any such harassment or prosecution. But the idea is this: The CIA agents who waterboarded Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and the NSA officials who listened in on phone calls from Pakistan, should not have to worry about legal bills or public defamation. In fact, Bush might want to give some of these public servants the Medal of Freedom at the same time he bestows the honor on Generals Petraeus and Odierno. They deserve it.

You know, I am quite well known for my controversial comments on this Blog. That is what I do, I like say stuff to make the Liberal Left and the Neo-Con Right, have a knee-jerk reactions.  So, I am going to say something, that will most likely get me face time on some Neo-Conservative Blogs and possibly on a few Liberal Blogs too.

This crap above is a living example of why I sometimes believe, that we should have just kept our noses out of the situation in Germany back in the 1940’s and let Hitler have the damn lot of them. But no, we had to intervene in that situation and they proceeded to come over here and basically take our damned country over, including the Republican Party.

But, that is the price that a Nation pays for being the World’s Policeman…..and we’ll keep paying that price, until somebody, somewhere wakes up and realizes that being the Nation’s Policeman is not in our best interests.

Let me be clear on something……..

While I might dismiss some of the more idiotic fearmongering that goes on. I do realize that the terrorism is a real thing.

If you wish you can stop by my bookstore’s section on Islam. There are some very interesting books on this Religion of war. (No, I don’t buy the lie that islam is a “religion of peace”)

Who carried out the attacks in India?

While I don’t agree with their brand of Conservatism, The Weekly Standard’s Information here is interesting:

While it is certainly possible that the group is taking credit for another’s handiwork, the Indian Mujahideen has been implicated as being behind several recent attacks in India.

The group claimed credit for the July 25 and 26 bombings in Ahmedabad and Bangalore. At least 36 Indians were killed and more than 120 were wounded in the attacks. The Indian Mujahideen took credit for the Sept. 13 attacks in New Delhi that resulted in 18 killed and more than 90 wounded. The group also claimed credit for the July 25 and 26 bombings in Ahmedabad and Bangalore that killed 36 wounded 120, the bombings in Jaipur last May (60 killed, more than 200 wounded), and bombings in Uttar Pradesh in November 2007 (14 killed, 50 wounded).

Indian intelligence believes the Indian Mujahideen is a front group created by Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Harkat ul Jihad al Islami to confuse investigators and cover the tracks of the Students’ Islamic Movement of India, or SIMI, a radical Islamist movement. The groups receive support from Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence and are al Qaeda affiliates.

I tend to believe that more information is going to come to light, as a result of this event. Something tells me that Pakistan’s hand is in this. Perhaps they are not as friendly as we thought.

Two Words…. Who Cares?

I’m sorry, I just cannot get excited about this or even remotely care.

I mean, a warning gets issued and then terrorists attack. Big whoop!

I mean, terrorism happens everyday.  I do believe that somehow or another, the Neo-Con’s either knew about it, or knew something. Of course, this will give the Beady-eyed one something to use as a saber rattler; for what he does best; fear-mongering.

If America would stay out of foreign affairs, we wouldn’t have these problems.

I just wonder what the Magic One’s response will be?

Let's say thanks to our troops

You might notice the new thingy on the left there, that says “Let’s say thanks to our troops!” Well, what that is about is this here.  Everyday our American Military serves this Country Faithfully. Right now, we have soldiers serving in two wars. Not matter what you feelings about the events leading up to Iraq, or the fact that we’re even there; one thing that cannot be debated, argued or even dismissed, is the fact that our United States Military is the best, the bravest and the strongest. It is also a fact that they are doing the jobs, that the rest of us will not or cannot do…. and for this the fine men and women serving deserve our praise, honor and respect. Not to be ignored, there are also brave men and women fighting a war, against extremists in Afghanistan, in a country that is increasingly hostile to our presence.

Seeing all of this, I believe that some respect is due. So, I ask you, nicely, to click on the widget on the left and send a nice message to our Military serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Quote of the Day

This is America today—a country that is losing its ability to manufacture things but has to continue to pander to rich Arabs and the Chinese Communists for money just to survive. In addition to our jobs, savings and investments, it looks like our sovereignty and national pride are being sacrificed as part of this process.


Clear and Present Stupidity….

John McCormack ponders over at the Neo-Con Weakly Substandard:

I haven’t a clue why support for keeping the prison open decreased since July, but I imagine support would be a lot higher if more people read Thomas Joscelyn’s excellent article on the terrorists at Guantanamo, “Clear and Present Danger”, in this week’s issue of THE WEEKLY STANDARD.

Uhmmm….. Could it be that the rest of sane America knows that over 90% of the people being housed in that facility are not actual terrorists?

Could it be, that the rest of sane America has wised up to the Neo-Conservative fear-mongering of the last 8 years?
