John Kerry recently volunteered that he was prepared to “kick [the Swift Boat Veterans’] ass from one end of America to the other” and that he would “demolish” us. He ought to take a Christmas cruise to Cambodia to calm down. Maybe he could take a side trip to tour “Genghis Khan” ruins.

It is a little difficult to imagine Kerry (“I voted for it before I voted against it”) kicking the most decorated living serviceman, Bud Day, a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, or our salty commander, Adm. Roy Hoffman, anywhere. Perhaps Kerry had in mind using a “Rice Fanny Grenade” as he did by mistake on himself shortly before leaving Vietnam. If so, based on the record, he is in far more danger than anyone else.

Kerry and his friends certainly seem to show much greater anger and hatred toward us than toward the murderous al Qaeda terrorists. This is actually a positive thing. Based on his record of switching to adopt the North Vietnamese position in 1971 and (after voting to send our kids to Iraq) proposing to cut and run in Iraq, it is likely that Kerry will be endorsing our positions by 2008 and (in his words) “Swift Boating” himself. If not, it is OK. After living for 34 years with his claim that our comrades, living and dead, were like the army of Genghis Khan, we will always remember and be grateful for the support of the American people in 2004. Nothing he will ever say can demolish that or will speak nearly so loudly.

Mr. O'Neill is a Houston attorney who clerked for Chief Justice William Rehnquist during the Supreme Court's October 1974 term. He authored the New York Times No. 1 bestseller, "Unfit for Command" in 2004.

Now all I have to say about Kerry is that he is a complete blithering idiot. When it comes to making a stand, he doesn't know how to do that. All he knows how to do is to make sure that his comments come at a time that will get his ugly face on the news.

Well this time he really put his foot in it by trying to make everyone think that he is "the war hero that resides in his own mind, and no where else.
John (I did it before I didn't) Kerry is a joke, that would do this country a whole lot of good if he would just go off somewhere and disappear. His best attribute is to lie, and he does that very well. To him the truth is the alien thing, and I don't think he even knows what the truth is.

In my post for yesterday, I quoted a paper written by Retired Army Command Sergeant Major, J. D. Pendry, who writes for Random House, that hit the nail right on the head directly when he talked about Kerry. "John Kerry. Dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our Soldiers of terrorizing women in Iraq. Iraq, the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time' the same words you used to describe Vietnam."

Now that is correct. The only thing that Kerry can come up with that is the same as something he said before, is if another situation of the same kind comes up and then he can go back through his Rhetoric....always the same...always changing the same ways...always wrong!

John Kerry, you, like Ted Kennedy should be ashamed of yourself. If you two would ever learn how to tell the absolute truth, I think the world would come to an end. Your lies are the only things about you that is consistant. You really need to get a life, and learn Religion. It would do you both good. Maybe Jesus could correct you and set you on the right path. Actually I know He could....but you two are so stupid and dense, that you won't find that out till Judgement day, and by then it will be too late to realize your mistakes in your lying. By then you will be residing with all your drinking buddies in the hot place below.

That time can't come too soon for me.

God bless America

The war that the UN stopped between Israel and Hezbollah only hurt Israel, but it was almost crucial for us, for Israel to win that. Since we were instrumental in keeping that from happening, then we have consequences that ARE going to hit us. And the Liberals are the ones who will not believe this....but wait till it happens, they will be the ones to say..."what happened? Why didn't the republicans do anything?"

The Democrats, in their minds are never wrong. And in the event that they are, (which is most of the time) they turn the blame to anyone else around...cause in their minds they are NEVER wrong. But I am here to let them know that they are almost always wrong.

But that was only the first story that I have here to press my point on your idiotic liberal ideas. Here is the second, written by a Vietnam Vet, named J.D. Pendry, who is a retired Army Command Sergeant Major, who writes for Random House and is copywrited J.D. Pendry 2006.

This is pretty strong stuff. It represents one way to look at the people who are involved in opposing the current war and is also critical of GWB in a way that I too find fault with him. Enough fault
for everyone. When I was still on the battlefield, anchored at Nha Be, directly alongside the Rung Sat Special Zone, Congress voted to cut the funding for us folks fighting the war I was in. We had no one at home to watch our back. Same now. The guys on the line are doing their job fighting the enemy outwardly, our President needs to lead the charge fighting those who would undermine our troops by fighting them inwardly. No one did that for us, and you know the bitterness i feel about that.

NO PUNCHES PULLED HERE.

JIMMY CARTER, you're the father of the Islamic Nazi movement. You threw the Shah under the bus, welcomed the Ayatollah home and then lacked the spine to confront the terrorists when they took our embassy and our people hostage. You're the runner-in-Chief.

BILL CLINTON, you played ring around Lewinsky while the terrorists were at war with us. You got us into a fight with them in Somalia, and then you ran from it. Your weak-willed responses embolden the killers. Each time you failed to respond adequately they grew bolder, until 9/11.

JOHN KERRY, Dishonesty is your most prominent attribute. You lied about American Soldiers in Vietnam. Your military service, like your life, is more fiction than fact. You've accused our Soldiers of terrorizing women in Iraq. Iraq, the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time; the same words you used to describe Vietnam.

JOHN MURTHA, you said our military was broken. You said we can't win militarily in Iraq. You accused United States Marines of cold-blooded murder without proof. And said we should redeploy to Okinawa. Okinawa, John? And the Democrats call you their military expert. Are you sure you didn't suffer a traumatic brain injury while you were off building your war hero resume? You're a sad, pitiable, corrupt and washed up politician. You're not a Marine, sir. You wouldn't amount to a pimple on a real Marine's butt. You're a phoney and a disgrace. Run away John.

DICK DURBIN, you accused our Soldiers at Guantanamo of being Nazis, tenders of Soviet style gulags and as bad as the regime of Pol Pot, who murdered two million of his own people after your party abandoned South East Asia to the Communists. Now you want to abandon the Iraquis to the same fate. History was not a good teacher for you, was it? See Dick run.

TED KENNEDY, for days on end you held poster sized pictures from Abu Grhaib in front of any available television camera. Al Jazeera quoted you saying that Iraqis torture chambers were open under new management. Did you see the news this week Teddy? The Islamic Nazis demonstrate real torture for you again. If you truly supported our troops, you'd show the world poster-sized pictures of that atrocity and demand the annihilation of it. Your legislation stripping support from the South Vietnamese led to a communist victory there. You're a bloated fool bent on repeating the same historical blunder that turned freedom-seeking people over to homicidal, genocidal maniacs. To paraphrase John Murtha, all while sitting on your wide, gin-soaked rear-end in Washington.

Harry Reid, Nancy Palosi, carl Levine, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, russ Feingold, Hillary Clinton, Pat Leahy, Chuck Schumer, et al ad nauseam. Every time you stand in front of television cameras and broadcast to the Islamic Nazis that we went to war because our President lied. That the war is wrong and our Soldiers are torturers. That we should leave Iraq, you give the Islamic butchers the same ones that tortured and mutilated American soldiers - cause to think that we will run away again and all they have to do is hang on a little longer.

American news media, the New York Times particularly. Each time you publish stories about national defense secrets and our intelligence gathering methods, you become one with the sub-human pieces of camel dung that torture and mutilate the bodies of American Soldiers. You can't strike up the courage to publish cartoons, but you can help Al Qaeda destroy my country. Actually, you are more dangerous to us than Al Qaeda is. Think about that each time you face Mecca to admire your Pulitzer. You are America's axis of idiots. Your Collective Stupidity will destroy us. Self-serving politics and terrorist abetting news scoops are more important to you than our national security or the lives of innocent civilians and Soldiers. It bothers you that defending ourselves gets in the way of your elitist sport of politics and your ignorant editorializing. There is as much blood on your hands as is on the hands of murdering terrorists. Don't ever doubt that. Your frolics will only serve to extend this war as they extended Vietnam. If you want our Soldiers home, as you claim, knock off the crap and try supporting your country ahead of supporting your silly political aims and aiding our enemies. Yes, I'm questioning your patriotism. Your loyalty ends with self. I'm also questiong why you're stealing air that decent Americans could be breathing. You don't deserve the protection of our men and women in uniform. you need to urn away from this war, this country. Leave the war to the people who have the will to see it through and the country to people who are willing to defend it.

No,Commander in Cheif, you don't get off the hook either. Our country has two enemies: Those who want to destroy us from the outside, and those who attempt it from within. Your Soldiers are dealing with the outside force. It's your obligation to support them by confronting the axis of idiots. America must hear it from you that these people are harming our country, abetting the enemy and endangering our safety. Well up a little anger please, and channel it towar the appropriate target. You must procescute those who leak national security secrets to the media. You must procecute those in the media who knowingly publish those secrets. Our Soldiers need you to confront the enemy that they cannot. They need you to do it now!'

This article was written like I said by J.D. Pendry and is something that almost every American needs to read. We are in danger here, and we need to realize this. Cause if we don't, this country will cease to exist as I have said before, and it will not be in a good way. America....the choice is yours. Become the pawns and slaves of Islamic Extremists? or Stay free Americans. If your answer is to stay Free Americans, then you need to stop the crap that the Liberals are handing us daily, and let them know that they need to stop it too. America IS worth fighting for and to keep our freedoms, we need to fight. To hell with the Cindy Sheehan's of the world, people who are just bitter pariahs of the worst kind. We need to let her know she is wrong....the Liberals are WRONG. America needs to stand up and do the right thing. Finally.

God Bless America....

The story below I will keep in Italics, and my comments will be in regular type. As usual I will use Bold and Underlining to accentuate my thoughts and the important parts of this story. All I can say on this one is, when will they ever learn that the secret stuff was secret for a reason?

By DEB RIECHMANN, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - President Bush on Wednesday acknowledged for the first time that the CIA runs secret prisons overseas and said tough interrogation forced terrorist leaders to reveal plots to attack the United States and its allies.

Don’t you idiots realize, that without the secret places talked about here, and without the ”tough interrogation” used in these places, so many more people would have died over the years? One KEY fact has to be brought out here people. Terrorists and the enemy, who have been rigorously trained in WAR, and use tough interrogation(actually torture) methods themselves, have probably been also trained to not give up informationInformation that could save an American soldiers life or the lives a hundreds of Civilians, if given up. If nothing else works to get this information to save lives, then Hard Interrogation MUST BE USED! In order to save lives. 

Bush said 14 suspects — including the mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks and architects of the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole and the U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania — had been turned over to the Defense Department and moved to the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for trial.

I say, who the hell cares what we do, as long as we prevent another attack on the United States? What we don’t know, wont hurt us, but it sure as hell can kill us if it isn’t used! People, we have to have this kind of work, no matter how unsavory it may be to your palets, it has to be done, for national security. If the normal person knew the things that were done during World War II, and in Vietnam, you would be amazed. We are at war. War is NOT pretty, and can be very cruel. MOST OF THE TIME IT IS. Get on with your lives. Now I mostly am not talking to the American public, and I so wish that this was being read by Harry Reid, Dicky Durbin, John Kerry, and others who cannot comprehend the fact that we are at war, and much much worse can and WILL BE DONE to us, if we don’t do it first and find out their secrets!

"This program has been, and remains, one of the most vital tools in our war against the terrorists," Bush said. "Were it not for this program, our intelligence community believes that al-Qaida and its allies would have succeeded in launching another attack against the American homeland." Now people....reread these last two paragraphs until their message sinks in. Do you want us to be attacked again?? Cause if you do, then keep doing the crap that your doing now, and it WILL HAPPEN AGAIN!

Releasing information declassified just hours earlier, Bush said the capture of one terrorist just months after the Sept. 11 attacks had led to the capture of another and then another, and had revealed planning for attacks using airplanes, car bombs and anthrax. Nearing the fifth anniversary of Sept. 11, Bush pressed Congress to quickly pass administration-drafted legislation authorizing the use of military commissions for trials of terror suspects. Legislation is needed because the Supreme Court in June said the administration's plan for trying detainees in military tribunals violated U.S. and international law.

This is ridiculous! We are at War! How freaking many times does this have to be said for it to sink in. War causes things to be done that are NOT done in normal times. Bad things....yes and terrible things. The problem with following laws that protect people during peacetime, is that during war it only protects the bad guys.....never the good! The only thing it does for the good is to UNDERMINE their ability to win the war.

The president's speech, his third in a recent series about the war on terror, gave him an opportunity to shore up his administration's credentials on national security two months before congressional elections at a time when Americans are growing weary of the war in Iraq.

And I don’t believe the American public is growing weary of the war in Iraq. The press is constantly spinning the story there, so nothing good comes out......that is what the American public is growing weary about. Never hearing what actually happens there!

Democrats, hoping to make the elections a referendum on Bush's policies in Iraq and the war on terror, urged anew that Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld be made to step down. They argued that the White House has mishandled the war, mismanaged the detainee system and failed to prosecute terrorists.

This my friends is the ONLY thing coming out of the press that I have heard that has even an ounce of truth in it. ‘The Democrats are hoping to make the elections a referendum on Bush’s policys.’ There is nothing more to that. The have been spinning the truth for years, and now they think they can take advantage of the false truth they have been spinning cause they believe the lies they tell. That is the KEY here, in understanding the Liberal Mind.

"For five years, Democrats have stood ready to work with the president and the Republican Congress to establish sound procedures to bring terrorists to justice," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. "Unfortunately, President Bush ignored the advice of our uniformed military and set up a flawed system that failed to prosecute a single terrorist and was ruled unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court."

And in that line (LIE) told by Harry Reid, you will see it. How could they do what he said they have for five years, and have everything they say, blast what the president has done, always saying he is wrong? How can doing that all the time mean, that “they have stood ready” to work with the President? That is a double double lie lie!! And Harry Reid Knows IT!

With the transfer of the 14 men to Guantanamo, there currently are no detainees being held by the CIA, Bush said. A senior administration official said the CIA had detained fewer than 100 suspected terrorists in the history of the program.

Still, Bush said that "having a CIA program for questioning terrorists will continue to be crucial to getting lifesaving information." Earlier this year, an anti-torture panel at the United Nations recommended the closure of Guantanamo and criticized alleged U.S. use of secret prisons and suspected delivery of prisoners to foreign countries for questioning. Some Democrats and human rights groups argued that the CIA's secret prison system did not allow monitoring for abuses and they hoped that it would be shut down.

First off here people, there shouldn’t be monitoring of what they do there. The stuff they do is harsh to say the least....but wouldn’t you rather something like that be done to someone, to get information from them, to save lives, than to have that someone released, only to capture your son or daughter, and do the same and maybe WORSE to them? Think about that next time you come up in arms with the stupid democrats over this subject. Would you rather it be them or your son or daughter.....or us, when they finally invade this country cause the democrats have made it so easy for them to do?

"He finally acknowledged the elephant in the room that everybody had always been talking about," said Jumana Musa, advocacy director for Amnesty International USA. Oh my God, this organization is the worst of them all. If it was up to them.....the terrorists would torture and kill us all and it would be their right to do so, but let us raise a finger to protect ourselves like in Israel’s case....HEAVEN FORBID! Oh God please come help us and strike these people down with some common sense!

"I think what surprised me is he seemed to be asking Congress to legalize it through statutes, essentially allowing him to continue to detain people in secret by sort of putting forth all this information that they got from these folks and somehow using that to justify what has been recognized by U.N. committees as an unlawful act and contrary to our treaty obligations."

What Harry Reid and others don’t realize, is that this stuff has been constitutional since the beginning of the country, for the defense of this country. They are the ones who ARE NOT following the constitution. The Constitution is a Living document, true...but the founding fathers who wrote it didn’t mean for the Liberals to come in and make it a document that will weaken the United States, and that is exactly what they have been doing for the last 50 years or so!

The president declined to disclose the location or details of the detainees' confinement or the interrogation techniques. "I cannot describe the specific methods used — I think you understand why," Bush said in the East Room, where families of some of those who died in the Sept. 11 attacks heartily applauded him when he promised to finally bring the perpetrators to justice. "If I did, it would help the terrorists learn how to resist questioning and to keep information from us that we need to prevent new attacks on our country. But I can say the procedures were tough, and they were safe and lawful and necessary." Bush insisted that the detainees were not tortured.

By the way people.....Ask the Terrorists the same question about the prisoners they hold, and I will wager you they cannot say the same thing.....and that my friends is the difference between us and them.

"I want to be absolutely clear with our people, and the world: The United States does not torture," Bush said. "It's against our laws, and it's against our values. I have not authorized it, and I will not authorize it." Bush said the information from terrorists in CIA custody has played a role in the capture or questioning of nearly every senior al-Qaida member or associate detained by the U.S. and its allies since the program began.

He said they include Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the accused Sept. 11 mastermind, as well as Ramzi Binalshibh, an alleged would-be 9/11 hijacker, and Abu Zubaydah, who was believed to be a link between Osama bin Laden and many al-Qaida cells. He said interrogators have succeeded in getting information that has helped make photo identifications, pinpoint terrorist hiding places, provide ways to make sense of documents, identify voice recordings and understand the meaning of terrorist communications, al-Qaida's travel routes and hiding places, The administration had refused until now to acknowledge the existence of CIA prisons.

Bush said he was going public because the United States has largely completed questioning the suspects, and also because the CIA program had been jeopardized by the Supreme Court ruling. The Supreme Court ruled that prisoner protections spelled out by the Geneva Conventions should extend to members of al-Qaida. In addition to torture and cruel treatment, the treaties ban "outrages against personal dignity" and "humiliating and degrading treatment."

Administration officials said they were concerned the ruling left U.S. personnel vulnerable to be prosecuted under the War Crimes Act because the language under the Geneva Conventions was so vague. The Supreme Court ruling put a damper on the CIA's program, virtually putting the interrogation of detainees on hold until such prohibitions like "outrages against personal dignity" could be defined by law. "We're not interrogating now because CIA officials feel like the rules are so vague that they cannot interrogate without being tried as war criminals, and that's irresponsible," Bush said in an interview with "CBS Evening News."

The administration-drafted legislation would authorize the defense secretary to convene a military commission with five members, plus a judge to preside. It would guarantee a detainee's access to military counsel but eliminate other rights common in military and civilian courts. The bill would allow reliable hearsay and potentially coerced testimony to be used as evidence in court, as well as the submission of classified evidence "outside the presence of the accused." Senate Republican leaders hailed Bush's proposal.

"It's important to remember these defendants are not common criminals," said Senate Majority Whip Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. "Rather, many are terrorists, sworn enemies of the United States."

But Democrats and GOP moderates warned that the plan would set a dangerous precedent, ensuring the legislation would not likely sail through Congress unchanged. Republican Sens. John Warner, John McCain and Lindsey Graham have drafted a rival proposal. Unlike the administration's plan, the senators' proposal would allow a defendant to access to all evidence used against them.

The plan by Warner, chairman of the Armed Services Committee, also would prohibit coerced testimony. Graham, R-S.C., said withholding evidence from a war criminal sets a dangerous precedent other nations could follow. "Would I be comfortable with (an American service member) going to jail with evidence they never saw? No," Graham said. Also on Wednesday, the Pentagon put out a new Army field manual that spells out appropriate conduct on issues including prisoner interrogation.

The manual applies to all the armed services but not the CIA. It bans torture and degrading treatment of prisoners, for the first time specifically mentioning forced nakedness, hooding and other procedures that have become infamous during the war on terror.

___ Associated Press writer Anne Plummer Flaherty contributed to this report

Now if this whole post here doesn’t give you people some common sense to realize that we are at war and things that are NOT SAVORY is going to happen...and the worse things that happen, will be on the other side. You know that one Harry Reid, Dick Durbin? Our enemy? Cause they DO CONDONE torture...and they use it all the time. Good God men.......use your brains! It is possible to do you know.

God Bless America
