Rush to UN Commissioner: Kiss Our Posterior December 9, 2005 Louise Arbour, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, accuses America of undermining a worldwide ban on torture and of weakening human rights around the world. Here’s her statement for Human Rights Day: “The principle once believed to be unassailable — the inherent right to physical integrity and dignity of the person — is becoming a casualty of the so-called war on terror.†The “so-called†war on terror? Obviously the UN High Commissioner — whose office is in the city where the Twin Towers once stood — doesn’t believe it. Arbour criticizes America for holding prisoners in secret detention centers, which she calls a form of torture. Making innocent people beg for their lives before beheading them before video cameras doesn’t merit a torture complaint from the UN High Commissioner. Nor does blowing up innocent women, children, or wedding parties. Holding terrorists involved in these deeds in secret is torture, according to the UN. The High Commissioner does praise “past U.S. leadership.†Translation: the Clinton Administration. Yup — the people who did nothing to combat terrorism. Ms. Arbour: if the UN had done its job and stood up to Saddam, instead of looting Iraq via Kofi Anan’s corrupt Oil-for-Food scandal, we might not be in Iraq now. If “past U.S. leadership†had responded to terrorist attacks — instead of staining intern dresses — we could have disposed of bin Laden and his cronies long ago. Instead we get lectures from people like you. Ms. Arbour: let me put this to you in diplomatic terms. From the people of America to you: Place your lips on the collective American posterior — and kiss it. Read the Background Material on the Morning Update... (NYT: Annan Defends U.N.

It's Open Line Friday! December 9, 2005 “We might call this White Flag Day here on the EIB Network. Or you can sing a song, ‘I'm dreaming of a white flag Christmas.’ It's been a wonderful and marvelous week." “Would somebody tell me what the Democrat Party is doing that is inspiring anybody to give them more power? Would somebody tell me what policy they're advancing, what idea for economic growth, what idea for national security?” “Liberals think accurately quoting them is attack politics. Accurately quoting them is mean-spirited.” LOL “I told you people, and I've been telling you for the longest time, that when the Democrats lose power -- and when they're out of power, and when they feel power even further loosening from their grasp -- they get wacky. They just get crazy, and in the process they tell us who they really are because of the panic that sets in.” “Bill Clinton and his administration first talked about firm evidence linking Saddam Hussein's regime to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, years before George Bush made the same statements.” “We're learning now all of these things that Clinton said about Saddam in '98, including the fact that he was linked to al-Qaeda. That's ignored by the Democrats, ignored by Howard Dean, ignored by the media -- because, of course, the template is to blame Bush for all this, and of course it's also to promote McCain and his anti-torture amendment.” “No Democrat presidential candidate, folks, has received even 50% of the vote since 1980, in the popular vote. That has not happened. Now, you tell me this is a party on the rise? You tell me this is a party that's going anywhere?” “Joe Lieberman is speaking out for the war like a true statesman. Democrats, on the other hand, are continuing to crack up. Kerry is out their slandering soldiers again; Murtha has been exposed as somebody who likes the bright lights a little bit too much. Howard Dean has surrendered before the French even have the chance to surrender!” “This balanced budget, the way the Democrats mean it, is tax increases -- and nobody wants a Democrat balanced budget the way they're going to do it. History has proven this.” “John Kerry doesn't think anybody has the right to question him. Nobody has the right sometimes to even look at him, such is his countenance.” Additional Quotes for Rush 24/7 Members Only... “The American people know what's at stake here. They do want us to win. They're not hoping that we lose. They do support the troops. They're not going to get behind the loser bandwagon.” “Have the Democrats tried to fix any mistake they thought and they admitted that they made after the 2004 race? Or even after 2002? No. Zip. Zero. Nada.” “I want to help you look at things in a different way. We constantly do that here.” “Imagine General Dean leading our forces. ‘We can't win this.’ Everything Dean says is about-faced. ‘We're going to change direction every second I think about it.’ These guys are becoming jokes.” “Bill Clinton is hunting for the Nobel Peace Prize, pure and simple. It's the Jimmy Carter Bash America Tour all over again.” “The official position of the United States is Kyoto sucks.” “Nobody wants to be part of Kyoto, except a bunch of poor nations that are using it to get into the back pockets of wealthy nations. It's not going to stop global warming because we're not causing it.” “Bill Clinton spent more time staining the dresses of interns than he did dealing with terrorism, and Dick Morris will tell you this because Dick Morris was there.” “The New York Times is trying to say the Bush administration lied and got faulty information about this link between al-Qaeda and Saddam via torture. The New York Times story is just factually wrong, and it may be more problematic than that.” “There's nothing the Democrats can glom onto. Nothing that they have used that they thought would destroy the president has worked. They're imploding everywhere.” “If you watch any of the cable news shows at night, you can see veritable panic. The economy is way up, on the upswing. Bush's approval numbers are coming back.” “I think the Democrats are telling us exactly who they are. They are anti-war. They are anti-military, anti-victory, and anything good that happens in this country is not going to help them the way they've positioned themselves.” “We told you when Dean was hired he wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut on policy. He's a candidate.” “Liberalism is a doom and gloom PsyOps operation. The media is their propaganda arm. Their whole outlook is doom and gloom. Who is the brain that put this party in this position?” “Stay on offense. Be confident. The real question is this: What happens when the Dems lose more seats in the Senate in '06 and '08? What happens when the left loses more seats in the House?” “The Democrats are just going in a totally different direction. They're not moving up. They're not going forward. They are not building. They don't do it attitudinally. They don't have confidence. They are disrupted amongst themselves. They are not unified, and that's a big thing to them.” “The Republicans may not be doing everything we want them to do, but they're not imploding, and they're not falling apart, and they are not obsessed and totally dominated by negativism and doom and gloom. They still remain their optimistic and cheerful selves.” “You've got a president who is rock solid in his beliefs, and he's not going to be talked out of what his policy is.” “This whole notion that the Republicans are going to lose seats and the Democrats are going to take back the House? Folks, I'm telling you, the real question is: How many more seats are they going to lose in the House and the Senate?” “The media is not just wrong; they are sometimes dead wrong. They're 180-degrees wrong. Bush economic plan? They labeled it a bad plan, a horrible plan. It's a good plan. It's a great plan. The economy is roaring.” “Look at what has happened since the conservative crackdown began. Harriet Miers withdraws; Sam Alito nominated. Bush has gone on the offensive about the progress in Iraq and the absolute necessity for the war on terror, and it's working.” “The Democrats don't have a policy on anything that they can announce, that people will stick to. They've got one senator off the reservation and they're trying to scalp the guy: Joe Lieberman. They're trying to do whatever they can to keep him from harming them. Why? Because he's out telling the truth. He's got an alternative point of view.” “Hillary is being heckled by the kook fringe on the Democrat left, and her chalkboard voice that reminds us all of our first and second wives is driving everybody nuts -- and Bush's poll numbers are taking off. Now, somebody tell me: Where is this whole bit of thinking that the Democrats are going to take back the House and Senate?” “This is liberals and this is the bureaucracy. Everything worked as it was supposed to, meaning we have to find out what's wrong with it.” “Chris Matthews was just beside himself because the Democrats are losing ground. Bush is still in office.” “Who among us believes that Lieberman is getting more attention than Murtha?” “Murtha is smoking McCain on media attention by a factor of a hundred to one, and Chaka Fatah, you can't do anything 'til Hagel shows up? You can't do anything until maverick Chuck Hagel defects from the Republicans? It's not up to you guys to have your own plan?” “We're not supposed to question the left. We don't have what it takes to question them. They're smarter than the rest of us and we are just too dense to be able to understand them.” “What will the left be left with? That's got a nice ring to it. Or what do they deserve to be left with? Give them the shovels, folks. I'm telling you, they're burying themselves.”

Zawahiri, Bin Laden Agree with Democrats December 8, 2005 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: The Islamic army in Iraq, a so-called terrorist group said today that it had killed a US security consultant, according to an Internet statement. This is a Reuters story out of Dubai. The group said that the man was killed because the US government did not fulfill its demands which included the payment of compensation to Iraqis affected by US attacks. Now, the statement's authenticity could not be verified and no pictures or video accompanied the statement. It was posted on a website that's often used by Reuters. Reuters says insurgents. Reuters not allowed to use the word terrorists, but that's who this is. This is verified, and if it's true, I just want to tell you what will come next. The Democrats will blame torture for this, and if we just wouldn't have tortured people at Abu Ghraib and Club G'itmo and wherever else we're doing it, why, this wouldn't have happened. I just want to prepare you because that's what's coming. Early Christmas present here for the Democrats. Osama bin Laden's deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, has released a new video, appears in this new video that was first released on al-Jazeera. That's the terrorists' favorite website and network. Zawahiri says, quote, "Iraq is a catastrophe for America, and Americans will leave. It will only be a matter of time." That's the early Christmas present for the Democrats, the Democrat National Committee headquarters, because this guy, al-Zawahiri is in complete agreement with Howard Dean, he is in complete agreement with Murtha, he is in complete agreement with Dingy Harry Reid, he is in complete agreement with Barbara Boxer and Nancy Pelosi. Howard Dean just days ago predicted our military can't win in Iraq, trying to clarify his statements, by the way, saying that he was cherry picked, he was taken out of context. He makes a stab here in explaining what he really meant. We'll get to that audio in mere moments. Now, in this pre-Christmas video, Ayman al-Zawahiri in a gift-wrapped present to the Democratic Party says, "I say to Bush, you entered Iraq with lies; you will lose Iraq and lie about it, and you will leave with the pretext that you have completed your mission. America only has to decide on the number of troops it wishes to lose before withdrawing." My gosh, folks, what a bonus this is for Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Dingy Harry, Barbara Boxer, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, and all the rest. I mean, perfect, right out of their playbook! Zawahiri's obviously been listening to them. "You entered Iraq with lies." Do you know what's that's gotta make a Democrat activist feel like today when they here Zawahiri say that? "You will lose Iraq." Can you imagine, folks, the rush that Howard Dean got when he heard Zawahiri say that? "And you will lie about losing in Iraq, and you will leave with the pretext that you have completed your mission. America only has to decide on the number of troops it wishes to lose before withdrawing." Right out of the Democratic Party handbook. I mean, it's a bonus, folks, a bonus. It's like two Christmas gifts in one. Zawahiri also echoes Murtha and Nancy Pelosi's claims that we've made no progress. He even says that we are stealing the oil from the Iraqi people, which is a favorite talking point of the Cindy Sheehan mob and the Michael Moore mob, the kook fringe liberal Democrat. Ah, we're stealing the oil from the Iraqis. It's their oil and we're stealing it from them. There's something in the terrorists' goody bag for hard-core kook fringe anti-war environmentalist wackos, too, according to a new book. I mean, what a day for the Democrats. They just have to be unable to contain their joy over this. Osama bin Laden, the CEO of big terrorism says that he wants America to sign the Kyoto global warming accord. Worldwide climate destruction is because of the United States, and we've got to sign Kyoto. Osama bin Laden, in bed with environmentalist wackos on the left (story). Zawahiri and bin Laden in bed with the Democratic Party. Apparently the liberal Democrats of this country have finally found their political soul mates. Al-Qaeda terrorists, amen al-Zawahiri and Osama bin Laden. You know, politics, it does make for strange, sometimes deadly bedfellows, but remember the enemy of my enemy is my friend, is the active philosophy here with the Democrats, because we can't beat these guys and they're telling us we can't beat them and the Democrats agree, so had to be a great day.

Glad you liked it! By the way, I used to live in Fayetteville, N.C. when my dad was stationed @ Ft. Bragg. My dad is retired Army (22 yrs). I was an Army brat, born in Wurzburg, Bavaria, West Germany (I know, it's just "Germany" now. That's what my birth certificate says. Anyway, I'd love to shake destruction until his teeth rattle! He's obviously a product of his environment. Poor bastard!

I really wish I could run into you one day. Ya' know, just to say "hi". Let's meet and do lunch.

ain't dat da' troof! fo-shizzle! Nuts! Whacked! Mental! Koo-koo-4-coco-puffs! Politically, it's great for the the republican party! Keep talk'n Howie! Keep babbling incoherently John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi! Keep up the great work! Just like I told destruction, all of these idiots who are obviously invested in the defeat of America, enjoy the freedom to spew their garbage in spite of themselves and at the sacrifice/s of our military. These morons are just all over the place. "I voted for, before I voted against", "I made a mistake in my vote for the war but I support the troops"???? HUH???? NIGGAH WUT? NIGGAH WHO? HUH???? Sadly, it reflects the trbl w/ today's democratic party. No core! No principles! No vision! No courage! No plan! How anyone takes them seriously is beyond comprehension. If they REALLY lived by these standards of wanting INSTANT SUCCESS, they would have given up on gov't Welfare and Education a long, long time ago. But no, on those issues they want to be judged on their intentions, not the pathetic results of their failed programs. For Bush and conservatives, they want INSTANT SUCCESS and are just giddy to claim failure, defeat and way too eager to retreat for the sole purpose of having a campaign issue which they hope will acquire more power for their side! You say you support the troops? Sure you do? With friends like that, who needs enemies? I know, I know, how dare me question your patriotism. You're the gold standard. NOT!

The assumption by the critics that our troops are somehow poor little, itty bitty sitting ducks is ABSURD! My co-worker has his nephew there and this morning, he gave me 3 recent letters sent by his nephew for me to read. The letters talk alot about being sick of MRE's and requesting instant MAC & CHEESE. It talks about being real busy as of late w/ plenty of "GAME" to shoot. He's a 21 yr. old Marine Sniper. He talks about being real pissed about a spike in activity and injury/death of fellow soldiers. He talks about the motivation which that gives him to kill as much "GAME" as he can and brags about the rapidy increasing number of "kills" he's accumulating. He's proud of the fact that he's killing enemy terrorists who are trying to kill them and inoccent Iraqi's. He talks about missing home and dreading the night patrol he's scheduled to go out on. Not because he's scared, but because he'll have to eat MRE's. He takes pride in his skill as a sniper and continues to refer to the enemy as "GAME" (which I find fucking hillarious!). That's exactly the attitude one needs to have over there and I couldn't be prouder of the guy! Our boys and girls are kick'n ass over there! Unfortunately, liberal pussies try to use "civilian" logic to interpret military circumstances. BIG MISTAKE, HUGE! That makes the liberal perspective on this war flawed @ the root. In short, they just don't get it!

Let me break it down for you Scooter, Your dumb ass and all those who share your warped logic, enjoy the freedoms and opportunity this country has to offer in spite of yourselves. Get it? Got it? Good!

John Kerry Calls American Troops Terrorists December 5, 2005 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: John Kerry beginning to undermine the war in a big effort now, in a big way. Let's go the sound bite. This is Face the Nation yesterday. Bob Schieffer says, "Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, he takes a very different view, Senator Kerry. He says basically that we should stay the course, because he says real progress is being made. He says, 'This is a war between 27 million Iraqis who want freedom and 10,000 terrorists.' He says we're in a watershed transformation. What about that?" JOHN KERRY: I don't agree with that. But I think what we need to do is recognize what we all agree on, which is, you've got to begin to set benchmarks for accomplishment; you've got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis, and there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of -- of -- of -- historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not. Iraqis should be doing that. And after all of these two and a half years, with all -- RUSH: (laughing) Iraqis ought to be terrorizing Iraqi women and children! He (interruption). Yes he did. Yes he did just say it. Cue it back up, Mike. Yes, he did. He said, "...and there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of customs, the historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not. Iraqis ought to be doing that." Here, listen to it again. If you didn't believe it the first time you heard it, listen to it again. JOHN KERRY: I don't agree with that. But I think what we need to do is recognize what we all agree on, which is, you've got to begin to set benchmarks for accomplishment; you've got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis, and there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, uh-uh-uh, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of -- of -- of -- historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not. Iraqis should be doing that. And after all of these two and a half years, with all of the talk of 210,000 people trained, there just is no excuse for not transferring more of that authority. SCHEIFFER: But you're not saying -- RUSH: There's so much... I'm sorry I even have to play this buffoon for you, but he's assumed the position of official Democrat Party spokesman on this. He's putting himself out there, so we have to deal with it. There's so much wrong with this. You've got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis? What's been going on the last year and a half that he hasn't noticed, number one. Number two: "After all these 2-1/2 years and all the talk of 210,000 people trained, no excuse for not transferring more of that authority"? What are we in the process of doing? All these people are trying to do is get ahead of something that is already happening so they can take credit for it. But this business that US soldiers are terrorizing Iraqi women and children, you now, if you doubted John Kerry during the 2004 presidential campaign, if you doubted anybody, the Swift Boat Vets, if you doubted anybody about him, you shouldn't now. It is clear what he thinks of the US military. His view is common throughout the Democratic Party. The only Senate Democrat who sounds like FDR or Truman right now, is Joe Lieberman. You've got the likes of John Kerry and Dick Durbin now echoed by Harry Reid and Ted Kennedy as the voice of the modern Democratic Party, which despises the US military and feels no compunction whatsoever to characterize them as terrorists. Let's go back to April 22, 1971 -- and this is Kerry, testifying before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee about his tour in Vietnam. JOHN KERRY: They told the stories of times that they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in the fashion reminiscent of Jen-giss [sic] Khan, not isolated incidents, but crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with a full awareness of officers at all leveled of command. RUSH: So he came back and he lied about atrocities that he never saw. He accused men of committing these atrocities. He never saw them. He lumped himself in at some point with having participated in them, but he never saw these things committed. That truth has come out. He has not seen US soldiers terrorize kids and children in the dead of night in Iraq, and yet he can't help it because this is who he is -- and who he is, is a carbon copy of today's modern Democratic Party. This is how they view the American military man and woman; this is how they view their own country. We are the terrorists. We brutalize. We're the barbarians. We are cowards. We are doing things like this under cover of darkness. It is shocking to have to play this stuff for you, but I feel compelled to do it because so many people still want to have their head in the sands about all this. How much longer do we have to pretend these people are patriots? How much longer do we have to do that, folks? We've got Ramsey Clark, John Kerry, Dick Durbin, Ted Kennedy -- who, of course, said that our running of Abu Ghraib prison was no different than a change of management. In fact, we're doing it just as badly and doing just as rotten things as Saddam did. They don't speak like patriots, folks, and they don't act like patriots. In this comment, John Kerry is anti-American. He's trying to get away with making you think he is pro-American and pro-military because we're in a situation that the president put us all in that's untenable and it's not these people's fault; it's all Bush's fault. But make no mistake that's not how this is heard around the world. This is cheered by our enemies. This is not patriotism. This is not patriot speech. It's not patriot actions. This is pure anti-American, anti-anti-US military and these are the mouthpieces of the Democratic Party today who are assigned the effort of saying these things: constantly slam our own country, pretending that they're slamming Bush. And it's true incidental they hate Bush. There's no question. But they have to know that they're pounding our institutions, and the people who support them know it. International Answer, Code Pink, all these other loon, left-wing peace groups are all part of the same organization. They are invested in our defeat. They are now agitating for our defeat. They are seeking our defeat -- and I, for one, find nothing patriotic about it. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: So you've got Durbin comparing interrogators and military personnel in uniform to Pol Pot's thugs, Soviet gulag operators, and Nazi soldiers and so forth -- and, of course, all hell descended on Durbin after that. I'm just wondering if this comment by Kerry will cause a similar crescendo. I mean, when he actually has gone out now and repeated what he said in April of 1971. Those were total lies in 1971. He couldn't substantiate these allegations he was making, and now he comes back and basically accuses young soldiers, American soldiers, of terrorizing Iraqi kids and children and breaking their historical and religious customs, and that there's no reason for this, and that it must stop. This is clearly agitating for defeat. It's a disguised attempt here, folks, at ripping Bush. But this is an all-out assault on their own country. These people are not courageous. It doesn't take any guts for Kerry to go to the Senate floor or to go on Face the Nation in front of a friendly audience and say what he says. They like to think of themselves as courageous, but that term it misused -- usually by them to define their opposition to the war. What these people are doing is not gutsy. It doesn't take courage or guts to do what they're doing at all. It's the easiest thing in the world. Liberalism is the easiest, most gutless choice anybody can make. Courage is speaking for freedom while faced with tyranny, not speaking for tyranny while living in freedom -- and these people are advocating tyranny by suggesting Saddam shouldn't have been deposed, maybe we shouldn't even proceed with this trial, that Iraqis were better off. I mean, these are the people that claim, folks, to have all these interests in human rights and civil rights and freedom and love and tolerance, and they're willing to consign the Iraqi population back to this thug dictator and all of his evil and all of his horrors -- and at the same time they want to be called courageous for doing so! Well, this is the exact opposite of courage. Courage is when you are tyrannized, when you're living in tyranny, and you dare speak up for your own freedom. These people are living in freedom. They're protected by it, and they are speaking up for tyranny -- and you've gotta add Jimmy Carter to this list. Add Carter, and Bill Clinton as well. Carter in many ways is difficult to distinguish from Ramsey Clark, because Carter is out there currently constantly embracing dictators, from Castro to that pot-bellied little fool in North Korea, Kim Jong Il or Kim Jung Il, Kim Il Jung, whatever they go by. They're always just out there traveling the world denouncing us. Clinton himself often comes close, but he pulls back. He'll go over to Dubai and rip the soldiers. He will not call them terrorists, but he'll demoralize them and attempt to make illegitimate their effort, then he'll come back and change his mind when he's speaking to an American audience. I guess he thinks this is courage, too, telling an audience what it wants to hear, even trying to triangulate the war. Then in the meantime, you've got Joe Lieberman who is the black sheep of this party because he speaks the truth and defends his country, but he's totally ignored. He's an outcast in his own party. Instead, you've got people like Cindy Sheehan and John Murtha, lauded, praised, because they undermine the war -- and in the process, undermine their country. Then you've got the media, nothing more than the Democrat National Committee house organ, the Democrat National Committee Times, the Democrat National Committee NBC, the DNC-ABC, and it's sickening. It is just sickening -- and they must pay a price. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Listen to this again. John Kerry, Face the Nation yesterday. Again, nobody watches this show, and that's why you may have missed this. JOHN KERRY: [T]here is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, uh-uh-uh, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of -- of -- of -- historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not. Iraqis should be doing that. RUSH: Now, folks, is it me, or does this man sound like he has dementia? He just blabs away. If you saw the whole appearance, he just blabs away, says whatever enters his mind, regardless of its possible effect on our troops, regardless of whether it makes any sense. As long as he's being paid attention to, he will pursue any hapless effort again at winning the presidency. But it's totally hapless. Don't forget, this is the guy -- and the reason he does this is because he knows that he's never going to be scrutinized by the press. That pitiful performance of his outside the White House last week where he contradicted himself inside of six sentences about his policies on troop withdrawal, whether it would work or not work? It was one of the most incoherent convoluted things he said since he said, "I voted for it before I voted against it," but he's confident he can get away with this because he knows he's not going to be scrutinized. Remember, this is the guy when CBS a bunch of the press were running around asking him some questions, he gave this long, winding answer that nobody could make sense of, and CBS said, "Senator, you want to do another take on that? We don't have a sound bite in there." Now, rather than air it as rambling incoherence, in vain search of a cogent thought, the media gives him take two, which is what he got -- and in this case, he says this; there's no outrage from Bob Schieffer. There's not even a raised eyebrow from Bob Schieffer. There's a, you know, stroke the chin with the hand and give it considerable thought; "Why, senator, you may be on to something, hmmmmm." It's just absurd. But at the same time all these people think they're being courageous! Kerry, I'm sure, thinks this is a great act of courage -- just like he thought when he thought April 22nd, 1971, was a great act of courage.

Listen... (SAN ANTONIO) -- Saying the "idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong," Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean predicted today that the Democratic Party will come together on a proposal to withdraw National Guard and Reserve troops immediately, and all US forces within two years. Dean made his comments in an interview on WOAI Radio in San Antonio. Click here to listen to the complete interview. "I've seen this before in my life. This is the same situation we had in Vietnam. Everybody then kept saying, 'just another year, just stay the course, we'll have a victory.' Well, we didn't have a victory, and this policy cost the lives of an additional 25,000 troops because we were too stubborn to recognize what was happening." Dean says the Democrat position on the war is 'coalescing,' and is likely to include several proposals. "I think we need a strategic redeployment over a period of two years," Dean said. "Bring the 80,000 National Guard and Reserve troops home immediately. They don't belong in a conflict like this anyway. We ought to have a redeployment to Afghanistan of 20,000 troops, we don't have enough troops to do the job there and its a place where we are welcome. And we need a force in the Middle East, not in Iraq but in a friendly neighboring country to fight (terrorist leader Musab) Zarqawi, who came to Iraq after this invasion. We've got to get the target off the backs of American troops. Dean didn't specify which country the US forces would deploy to, but he said he would like to see the entire process completed within two years. He said the Democrat proposal is not a 'withdrawal,' but rather a 'strategic redeployment' of U.S. forces. "The White House wants us to have a permanent commitment to Iraq. This is an Iraqi problem. President Bush got rid of Saddam Hussein and that was a great thing, but that could have been done in a very different way. But now that we're there we need to figure out how to leave. 80% of Iraqis want us to leave, and it's their country." Dean also compared the controversy over pre-war intelligence to the Watergate scandal which brought down Richard Nixon's presidency in 1974. "What we see today is very much like what was going in Watergate," Dean said. "It turns out there is a lot of good evidence that President Bush did not tell the truth when he was asking Congress for the power to go to war. The President said last week that Congress saw the same intelligence that he did in making the decision to go to war, and that is flat out wrong. The President withheld some intelligence from the Senate Intelligence Committee. He withheld the report from the CIA that in fact there was no evidence of weapons of mass destruction (in Iraq), that they did not have a nuclear program. They (the White House) selectively gave intelligence to the United States Senate and the United States Congress and got them to give the go ahead to attack these people." ==================================================== By Steve Holland WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush criticized Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean on Tuesday for saying it is wrong to think the United States will win in Iraq, calling him a pessimist trying to score political points. "I know we're going to win, and our troops need to hear not only that they are supported but that we have got a strategy that will win," said Bush, who is trying to restore American confidence in his Iraq plan amid waning support for the war. Dean stirred Republican wrath by telling San Antonio, Texas, radio station WOAI that "the idea that we're going to win the war in Iraq is an idea which is just plain wrong." He predicted the Democratic Party would come together on a proposal to withdraw National Guard and Reserve troops immediately, and all U.S. forces within two years. Bush said the scheduled Iraqi elections December 15 and the trial of Saddam Hussein are proof of progress in Iraq. He is to give a second speech on Wednesday looking ahead to the Iraqi elections amid calls from some Democrats for a timetable for an early withdrawal of U.S. troops. "Oh, there's pessimists, you know, and politicians who try to score points. but our strategy is one that will lead us to victory," Bush said when asked about Dean's remarks. Bush said the Saddam trial is proof of the change that has taken place in Iraqi society, compared to the days when Saddam was in charge and opponents faced "death or torture" instead of justice. ======================================= Dean Questions Iraq Strategy (12/05/05 -- WASHINGTON) - Democratic Chairman Howard Dean on Monday likened the war in Iraq to Vietnam and said, "The idea that the United States is going to win the war in Iraq is just plain wrong," comments that drew immediate fire from Republicans. In an interview with WOAI-AM in San Antonio, Dean criticized what he called President Bush's "permanent commitment to a failed strategy" while saying, "We need to be out of there and take the targets off our troops back." Dean recalled that the strategy to stay the course in Vietnam cost thousands more lives to be lost. "I wish the president had paid more attention to the history of Iraq before we had gotten in there," Dean said. "The idea that we're going to win this war is just plain wrong." Republican Chairman Ken Mehlman said Dean's "outrageous prediction sends the wrong message to our troops, the enemy, and the Iraqi people just 10 days before historic elections."

Pinkie Dick? LOL Seriously though,,,Destruction has come unhinged! He's not right in the head. His cables are crossed! Loco en el coco! LOL He's the poster boy for clueless, rabid liberals! Liberalism is easy and gutless which explains destruction. It takes courage to stand up for freedom and fight against trash like Saddam and these terrorists. It's neither courageous or patriotic to bitch and whine. Destruction is garbage. He's naval lint! He doesn't matter! Pray he's sterile! That piece of shit has no business spreading his demon seed! My guess is nature will take it's course. The strong will survive while the weak are devoured! note: Destruction, you might as well start walking under ladders, breaking mirrors, spilling salt, etc.....You can't do any more to bring about bad karma to yourself.

lol u really are insane, aren't ya'? my daughter what? LOL I feel sorry for you now. I don't think I can make anymore fun of you. Seek help!

God you're dumb!

vagina rot? LOL EXCELLENT!

since you're in the forgiving mood, how 'bout forgiving UBL, Zarqawi,Saddam,Uday,Qusay,Atta, and so on and so on..............

fagtard? LOL I like that one......LOL Hey,,,,,Destruction,,,, BOO! lol

damn those western christians! praise to Alah and UBL......lol sure???? we're the enemy! we're the ones trying to kill all non-muslisms.... BRUTO!

definitely isn't hard to do. she's just a talking head who read the teleprompter. but it's funny how she goes off script to challenge conservatives and never challenges liberals. regardless, I thought Mary did great!

If you don't wanna read it, you can go to the page and listen to Mary Matalin blow Couric right out of the water. http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/site_120105/content/stop_the_tape.guest.html Matalin Kicks Butt On Today Show December 1, 2005 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Back to the audio sound bites, the Today Show today, Katie Couric talking to Mary Matalin. First question: "So what is your assessment about what Senator Kerry just said that basically the very presence of US troops is one of the driving forces of the insurgency in Iraq and an estimated timetable for troop withdrawal is something that really needs to be discussed and debated?" An estimated timetable! (Laughing.) Anyway, here's what she said. MATALIN: It has been discussed and debated, and John Kerry was against that position before he was for it. He used to be for increasing the troop levels. Now he's for diminishing the troop levels. The notion that he or Sy Hirsch or any of these partisans would make about these generals being scared witless to tell the president or the vice president or the secretary of defense what they need is patently, patently absurd. You've heard from Casey and Abizaid and Fines and Pace. Every one of them has said they have gotten everything that they've wanted to get the job done, and they know better on the ground how to get this job done than people sitting in Washington -- and that's why two-thirds of the people, of the Iraqis and the soldiers on the ground in Iraq have confidence that they're going to succeed in this mission, versus two-thirds of the academics and journalists in this country who do not think we're going to succeed. RUSH: By the way, Mary stumbled into something. There is a new mantra, there's a new template out there today. I've seen it in the Washington Post, maybe the New York Times, two different newspapers. I'm not sure which two. It doesn't matter; they're all liberal: "Bush finally on same page as his generals." That's the new mantra! "Bush finally on page with his generals," fulfilling their myth notion that the generals have been pleading with Bush (sobbing), "Take us out! Get us out! We can't win! It's over!" So Bush makes a speech yesterday, and the reaction is, "Nothing new; just a rehash, but Bush is now on the same page with the generals." They're not going to let go of it. They're making up news, folks, they live in an alternative reality. They're still pushing something that isn't factual and isn't true because they, too, as the Democrats, are invested in our defeat. They're liberals. They want to do anything they can to get their power back and their town back. Washington is theirs, never forget this. As Democrats and liberals, they are born entitled to power. This is an interruption they don't understand and they are blaming everybody but themselves for this, and their total occupation now is obsession with getting that power back. Next question to Mary Matalin from Katie Couric: "The president talked about the progress being made. When it comes to training Iraqi forces, which I think everybody agrees is really a critical component, that transition of power to enable troops from this country to come home. The president said there are 120 Army and police combat battalions operating in Iraq. That's roughly 96,000 troops. But why, if that's the case, is the violence not declining? Is the very presence of US forces in Iraq fueling this insurgency?" You see, another mantra is this: that our presence is causing all this. We created the terrorists, Bush created them, just by going over there. We've made them so mad! This is quintessentially liberal, quintessentially appeaser oriented. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." They were like this with the Soviet Union, "Don't! Don't! Don't say that! Don't call them evil! Oh, no! They're going to nuke New York, oh no," and they got scared. You can't tell the truth about your enemies. No, no! That will make them mad, and by showing up and defending ourselves. That makes 'em mad; we shouldn't do this. So this mantra, "Our very presence is fueling the insurgency," here's Mary Matalin's reply. MATALIN: I don't know how many different ways to say to Democrats how much progress has been made in just a year. There are over 212,000 Iraqis trained, and two-thirds of those battalions are working side by side with the Americans. A third of them are working by themselves. In March, there were 400, 500 tips from locals. Now there are 4,700 tips. There's human intelligence on the ground. There's progress every day being made, standing up the Iraqi armies and security forces, and there's progress made every day on the political front where in about two weeks from tomorrow they're about to have the first self-determined elections in that region. They have the first and only constitution in that region. The per capita income has doubled. It's up 30% from where it was the year before. There's progress on every single front. RUSH: But Katie Couric, who was immune to the truth, said, "But as you know, Mary, the poll numbers are not really working in the president's favor, and before you sigh so audibly and visibly, Mary, let me ask you. I know that the latest Gallup poll shows that the president's job approval rating is at its lowest ever, it's at 37%. Why, if progress is being made, why do you think there seems to be a disconnect between what's going on in Iraq and how the American people are perceiving this war?" MATALIN: For eight, ten months now, the Democrats have been saying, "The president lied, the president lied, the president lied," with no evidence whatsoever, no shred of information. In that same period of time, the president's credibility has dropped 20 points. Now he's fighting back. Let's look at the polls, you want to talk about polls, let's look at the polls in Iraq: 80% of the Iraqis, 80% of Iraqis who are living there feel hope for their future, feel optimistic, 67% of the soldiers in Iraq feel optimistic about our success. So there's a disconnect -- that's right -- but the people who are living there, who are waging this war, feel optimistic about the success. The people here who are bombarded with relentless demagoguery from the Democrats, and, frankly, a disproportionate view of what's going on in Iraq in the mainstream media; it's affecting the polls. That's right. RUSH: I knew what Mary was going to say in this answer. She is very polite. Had I been there, when I got this question, had I gotten this question -- I almost wish I could go onto one of these shows and get these questions. "How do you explain the president's poll numbers being so low? How do you explain this disconnect?" I would sit there and I would say to Katie Couric: "You know something? You pose the greater threat to the future of this country than anything George Bush has ever done. Because you are nothing more than a slave to the Democratic Party. You look at these polls, and you're joyful about these polls, Ms. Couric. Why don't you admit that to me? You're happy to be able to report those polls. You want to take credit for having created and caused this. You don't realize what we face. It's because of people like you we're going to need a couple or three more 9/11s before the whole country gets on board because you're trying to make everybody believe this is a worthless cause, has no purpose, and it's only being done for Bush and Halliburton to get oil. It's irresponsible what you've done. You people in the mainstream press and your alliance with the Democratic Party is directly responsible for this disconnect and you ought to be ashamed of yourself." I would just take it to her. Boy, if it had been me, I would have just taken that right there. Of course, I did that once and that's why I've not been invited back on the show. END TRANSCRIPT Read the Background Material...

Waste of time is right. They only start twitching and shooting sparks from their ears when they're blasted w/ truth. I'm out. It's my bday this wknd and I'm going to Disney World tomorrow. It's Mickey's Very Merry Christmas when they deck out the Magic Kingdom w/ Christmas stuff and fake snow on Main St., fireworks, toy soldier parades, etc...The kids will have blast and seeing my wife and kids happy makes me happy. You know the saying "happy wife, happy life"..LOL I'll be 32! Damn! I'm an old bag-o-dirt! LOL Anyway, I'm packing and getting everything ready. You know us "rich" republicans, always living the good life while poor democrats suffer.....LOL Take care and have a good wknd!

That's just Karl Rove spin...... Liberal critique just isn't complete w/ out squeezing in Haliburton. LOL PS..Yo Igloo, is it me or is DETROIT swirving right into Destruction/Michael Moore/Maureen Dowd land? You're either licking your lips to crush that softball DETROIT laid out over the plate or you're throwing your hands in the air and banging your head against the wall????????

lol @ smiley

Hey! That's low! Shame on you! How can you trash Sen. McCarthy like that? He was a war hero just like Murtha was! If Murtha is "untouchable" cause he's a decorated war veteran, then so is McCarthy (based on the standards liberals set w/ Murtha). Again, just illustrating the absurdity w/ liberal logic. LOL Don't tell me you're gonna demand standards from Repz you're unwilling to live by yourself? Anyway, you were saying..... "WMD's, Uranium in Niger, Al Qaeda bases in Iraq" Plz tell me you're kidding? Plz tell me you still doubt Iraq had WMD, Iraq "sought", not "bought" Uranium in Niger and the connection/s Al Qaeda had in Iraq? If so, then you haven't been doing your homework. You brought it up, so I can only asume you "genuinely" care and aren't just stuck in Michael Moore land, right? And for the record, here's a free tip I'll share w/ you to help you decipher media reports. If you want to know what Washington Demz are up to, just listen to what they accuse Repz of doing. Demz always expose who they are and their intentions w/ their rhetoric. You can call Bush tons of names, but a waffler he is not. Unlike folks you probalby agree w/, his core principles are not fluid and subject to change w/ the direction of the wind. ps. You forgot to blabber about Haliburton. lol

Thank goodness we have an omnicient patriot like yourself to clear up the spin for us sheep..... How do I get out of this vast right wing conspiracy crew? Read the report, check your recent history and get skooled on the lies you've built your house of cards to hide in. WARNING! Know how to play 52 pickup? Learn quick before you skool yourself?
