WHERE IS THE CIA LEAK INVESTIGATION?
Not the phony one but the serious one. Who in the CIA is leaking
classified and secret information to the Washington Post, designed to
harm the war effort and endanger the nation and the troops. How do you
draw the line between spying for the enemy and putting it in the
newspaper for them to read it?
THIS IS NOT NEWS
The biggest turncoat is former President Bill Clinton, who not only
spoke out against the war and a sitting president, but also did it on
Arab soil. As usual, Clinton tried to have it both ways, telling
students at the American University in Dubai, it's a "good thing"
Saddam is gone, "but I don't agree with what was done." What a slime
bug...
WHAT IS THE ANSWER?
If a captured terrorist knows where a nuclear bomb has been planted in
some American city, and when it is timed to go off, are millions of
Americans to be allowed to be incinerated because we have become too
squeamish to get that information out of him by whatever means are
necessary? Ramsey's answer: Let them all die.
DID YOU KNOW?
Five million Iraqi students are back in school, with 51 million new
Ba'ath-free textbooks in circulation
• Academics forced into exile under Saddam are coming back to teach
in Iraqi universities
• There are now over 200,000 trained Iraqi security forces personnel
• The Ministry of Industry has issued 7661 licenses for new
businesses
• There's been a LARGE boost in economic activity due to tax-cuts
• A complete rebuilding and renovation of major telecommunications
infrastructure
• A new sewer system is stimulating the Iraqi economy & improving
health conditions
• Public Health Centers are bringing family healthcare to Iraqi
neighborhoods
JUST A REMINDER
From the day America moved to oust Saddam, the usual suspects -- from
CBS to the New York Times -- eagerly predicted calamity and searched
fervently for any signs of it. Yet virtually all their prognostications
failed to materialize.
Casualties? Minimal. Oil fields? Protected. Saddam attacking Israel?
Never happened. Post-war refugee problems? Nope. Iraqis weren't
leaving; they were returning in droves to their Saddam-free homeland.
And since Saddam's removal, guess which part of Iraq has garnered
virtually all of the Bush-bashing media's attention? Why, the Sunni
Triangle, of course, Saddam's home turf.
Never mind that nearly everywhere else, there is no "insurgency."
Never mind that the "insurgency" is doomed so long as virtually
everybody but a handful of Sunnis opposes it.
Never mind that across Iraq, the progress is overwhelming, as
Americans and Iraqis together build schools, enhance security, empower
civil society, and ensure a brighter economic and political future.
Never mind that most of the fighting -- and dying -- for the new, free
Iraq is being done by patriotic Iraqis. And never mind that the
endlessly-reported U.S. death toll is half the rate even of U.S.
training deaths each year.
Never mind that literally millions of Iraqis -- alone in the Arab
world -- have twice stood up to terrorist bullies, voting first to
elect new leaders and just recently to ratify their new constitution.
And that includes 105,000 Iraqis in Fallujah, once the heart of the
insurgency, who turned out last month to vote on the new constitution.
Oh, and never mind that before each of these elections, al Qaeda
proclaimed loudly that merely holding the election -- regardless of
outcome -- would be a "crushing defeat" for their cause.
To the left-leaning media moguls and those in their employ, none of
this matters, because all of it vindicates President Bush.
Which is partly why so little of it gets reported.
BRING THEM ON - OVER THERE
By bringing the fight to a Muslim land, by making that land the
central front of the war on Islamic terrorism, the United States has
effectively forced Muslim terrorists to kill Muslim civilians. That is
why the so-called Arab street is rising--not against us but against the
terrorists, as we saw in Jordan after Zarqawi's disastrous hotel
bombing. The population of the Islamic world is choosing sides not
between jihadists and Westerners, but between jihadists and people just
like themselves. We are, slowly but surely, converting bin Laden's war
into a civil war--and that is a war bin Laden and his followers cannot
hope to win.(Wiliam Stuntz)
CLEAN UP THE CIA BEFORE THEY SELL US OUT
Do you remember back a few months when it was reported that the CIA
had determined that Iran was probably 10 years away from being able to
develop a nuclear bomb? It was in all the papers, and it made almost
everyone feel much relieved. It certainly put those hothead alarmists
and warmongers in our places. We had been citing Israel's assertion
that by the spring of 2006, Iran could have the bomb.
My, how time flies. This week, El Baradei, the chairman of the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed Israel's assessment
to the British liberal newspaper, The Independent, and stated that if
Teheran indeed resumed its uranium enrichment in other plants, as
threatened, it will take Iran only "a few months to produce a nuclear
bomb."(Tony Blankley)
