Bush Comes Under Fire In Iraq

President Bush went on a secret trip to Iraq as a farewell tour and he was attacked while there. A reporter from one of those backwards countries there called Bush a dog and threw his shoes at the president. Bush ducked the first shoe and the second sailed past his head. The president waved off a Secret Service agent who was moving in to remove the president.

The soles of shoes are the nastiest of insults in that part of the world. The shoes were intended to be the nastiest of insults but only demonstrated that the guy throwing them is a sissy who could not hit a target from 12 feet away. Probably explains why they prefer bomb vests.

There were a few comments from the left wing moonbats indicating that it was too bad the guy missed, he should have thrown an IED, and he should have put a hand grenade in the shoe. There is no restraint when it comes to the hatred of the left toward George Bush. Perhpas the left sides with the reporter because they too are a bunch of sissies who could not hit anything.

Now I know that if this had happened to Barack Obama there would be similar comments from the fringe of the right. There are fanatics on both sides (though the fanaticism of the left seems to run across the entire spectrum) but the reaction would be much different in this case.

The left would read similar comments about their messiah and they would start whining about how mean the right is and how all they think about is killing people. Terry Bisson, the science fiction writer who goes by Thinking Meat, is always ready to point out how un-Christian like any right winger who talks about killing is. Discuss killing someone who desperately needs it and Bisson is immediately there to discuss how deranged the right is. He is not alone as many of the loons on the left do the same thing.

But where are these paragons of virtue in this instance? Have any of them called the moonbats who wished the attack had been more lethal any of the names they love to spew at the right?

Of course not. They have different sets of rules for the wackos on their side.

While I believe there are many people in this world that should be removed from it in short order (like people on death row and terrorists) I would never want to see the president of my country harmed regardless of which party he represents.

It was interesting to see the video. The president has pretty good reflexes.

Too bad this did not happen to Hillary. Then she would be telling the truth when she said she came under fire. Well, at least more of a truth than what she told in the past.

An Obama Win Would Be Good For Iran And Bad For Israel

Iranian parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said that Iran would prefer to see Barack Obama win the US presidential election. The statement indicates that Obama is considered more rational and flexible than John McCain. This is coming from the nation that also desires to wipe Israel off the map. It is no coincidence that Iran wants a flexible president so that the country can manipulate him and take advantage in order to attack Israel.

This endorsement comes at a time when Iran is working on plans for a preemptive strike against Israel and God’s chosen people. Iran is not likely to be foolish enough to attack while George Bush is still in office because that country knows Bush will not play games nor will he negotiate without precondition. If Iran attacks, Bush will retaliate and the blow would be devastating.

Iran will wait until the election is over and if their chosen one is elected they will attack Israel after the inauguration. Iran knows that Obama is not a big supporter of Israel and that Joe Biden has said that Israel should get use to a nuclear Iran. Couple this with Jesse Jackson’s statements that support for Israel will decrease in an Obama administration and it is no wonder that Iran is licking its chops at the thought of a rookie at the helm.

This just might be the crisis Biden was talking about.

On another note, Al Qaida said that it wanted John McCain to win so that the continuation of Bush’s policies would drive our economy to even greater depths. This is a veiled endorsement of Obama. Al-Qaida knows that if it endorsed Obama he would lose so they say they want McCain to drive Americans to Obama.

Al Qaida knows that Obama would be a push over compared to McCain and, like its pals in Iran, wants the candidate that it can manipulate. They want the rookie so they can continue to work on America’s demise.

American Jews need to pay special attention to what is going on. A vote for Obama is a vote for appeasement and complacency which will certainly be of dire consequence to Israel.

Will They Say McCain Staged this to Scare Us?

Every time there is a major event and the threat level increases the Democrats claim that it is fear mongering. The Democrats make these claims because they know that America views them, and rightly so, as weak on national security. The believe that Republicans trump up threats in order to scare up votes.

Obama recently had the opportunity to show how he would handle the, dare I say it, 3 am call when Russia invaded Georgia. He gave three different responses form his Hawaiian vacation spot and each one was progressively sterner. He blew his chance to look like he had a clue and it is likely his poor performance led to his selection of Joe Biden as a running mate.

Now the Russian president is claiming that American missiles placed in ally countries close to Russia will elicit a military response. Russia is saying it will respond to us with military force because it does not like what we are doing in sovereign nations (with their blessings). The countries agreeing to missiles had been on the fence about them until Russia invaded Georgia. Then they decided they needed protection though the missiles will be there to deter threats from nations other than Russia (but could be used if Russia invades).

Russia is playing a dangerous game. They should think twice before they attack our interests or they might not like the response. The Russian president does not want a Tomahawk missile hitting his house.

Anyway, how long will it be before the Democrats claim that Bush and McCain manufactured the events in Georgia in order to scare Americans? How long will it be before they claim that the Russians are helping us by showing how weak Democrats are on defense? They have claimed crazier things.

Maybe if we are lucky we can get Obama to cut short his convention and go over to Russia and scream Hope and Change until they convert.

The Squeeker of the House

Nancy Pelosi, the worst Speaker in the history of Congress, has evidently decided she did not like being called such by me and millions of other people who see her for the ineffective moron that she is.

Pelosi struck back in order to deflect from the low approval ratings she and her Congressional minions have posted and called George Bush a complete failure. The news reporting this claims that it is a departure from her usual attacks which take place in private but that is a bunch of bunk. She has been attacking the president for a long time and now she has stepped up those attacks:

“You know, God bless him, bless his heart, president of the United States, a total failure, losing all credibility with the American people on the economy, on the war, on energy, you name the subject,” Pelosi replied. She then tsk-tsked Bush for “challenging Congress when we are trying to sweep up after his mess over and over and over again.” My Way News

The economy is slow and has the potential to collapse but we have had a great economy for seven years since Bush took over the Clinton recession and dealt with 9/11. Unemployment is low and though volatile, the stock market is hanging in there. Nancy and her Democrats are responsible for the down turn because it all took place while they were the majority. If they blame everything from the past on the majority Republican Congress it is only fair to return the favor. Nancy told us she had a plan for gas prices. They went from $2.19 to over $4.00 on her watch. She and her moonbat buddies are refusing to allow us to drill in the places where we know there is oil. There are platforms off the California coast over known deposits but they remain idle because of Congress. The Democrats have opposed any effort to help the energy problems so Nancy should keep her yap shut. Let’s not forget that Democratic policies are partly responsible for the housing problems. Give everyone a loan or you are discriminating.

The war is going a lot better and despite the best efforts of the Democrats to lose it, we are winning. The surge is working and we will soon employ those tactics in Afghanistan and squash the resistance.

As for them having to sweep up after the mess? The only mess left behind by a president was the stains Bill Clinton left behind. This Congress is the true do nothing Congress. They have not passed any of the budgetary items and will likely use continuing resolutions until after the election because they believe they will have Barack Obama as president and he will rubber stamp their wasteful bills.

Pelosi has been an absolute disgrace as Speaker and she lacks leadership skills. I doubt she could lead a group of people out of a burning building. When you watch her and the rest of the Democrats it looks like the blind leading the blind. It is truly amazing to see them in action. If Pelosi had any brains she would actually be dangerous.

Has this president made mistakes? Sure he has and there are some things that I disagree with him on but I know we have not been attacked since 9/11 and that attack was the result of Clinton’s weakness. How many attacks on US interests took place on his watch? We had 9/11 and the response made some people think twice about screwing with us.

The reality is that Nancy Pelosi is an idiot. She either has no brain or the Botox was injected too far and paralyzed what few brain cells she has. Either way, she is a disgrace and needs to be replaced by a button that does absolutely nothing more efficiently.

Recruiting Station in New York Bombed

At 3:45 this morning a bomb went off at a Times Square recruiting office shattering the glass front with an impact that was felt in surrounding buildings. No one was injured in the blast and police are looking into reports of a person on a bike who might have delivered the explosive.

Those who join the military expect that at one time or another they will be put in harm’s way, especially during this period in our history. It is part of the job and most accept it willingly despite what the idiots at Code pinko would have people believe. What our military does not expect is for this kind of violence to be perpetrated on our own soil, the very soil members of the military swear to protect with their lives.

Sure, there are protests against the military conducted by people who live under the very blanket of freedom provided by those protested, and those protests, while despicable, are a reaffirmation of the concept that our military protects our rights. Without the United States military, and those who have paid the ultimate price, protesters would suffer fates similar to those in China and other countries where public dissent is squashed by military forces acting on behalf of the government. The fact that our military protects protesters while military forces in other countries kill them is a testament to the concept of freedom our founders so brilliantly designed. These freedoms exist even if idiots like those in Berkeley California are too self absorbed to see them.

The bomb in Times Square elevates the resistance to our military to a new level. Certainly, this could have been an act of terror but I dismiss this idea because a terrorist would have wanted a detonation when people were around so as to maximize death and destruction. The person who did this in the early morning hours is a coward who was making some sort of statement. The bomber chose this particular time because he lacked the testicular fortitude to confront the recruiters with his violence, and act that would have allowed them to dispatch him in short order.

We live in a free country because our freedoms are protected by a class of people who are a cut above the average citizen. Our military is not out enforcing law or imposing the will of the government upon the people. It is protecting us so that we may live as we wish, within the confines of our laws and customs. This bombing shows that some people cannot live within the confines of our laws and must use illegal means to make a statement. It also has the potential to incite others to step up their attacks from nonviolent protest to something quite dangerous. How long will it be before the recruiting office in Berkeley is targeted by a “peaceful” protester?

Was this is an act of war perpetrated by a person or persons intent on disrupting the operation of our military and its mission or was it an act of violence that will not escalate or be mimicked? If it was the latter then the police need to catch the criminal and he needs to be sent to prison for a long time. If it is the former and war is being declared on our military by a cowardly force intent on disruption than they should be aware that our military specializes in war and the violent destruction of those intent on causing harm. If it is war they want, just say the word and we will give them more than they can handle.

The dope smoking, long haired, hippies were able to mistreat our military back during and after the Vietnam War. We will not allow this to happen again. No matter who the attacker is, aged hippie or the misguided youth, we will not allow them to attack with impunity.

Not on my watch.
