Running Scared: Congressional Republicans

The Wall Street Journal takes to task the liberal republicans who have torpedoed the republican agenda in the latest budget. Who needs the Harry Reids and Nancy Pelosis when we’ve got these turn coats?

  • So, let’s see: These Congressional giants are demanding that Americans be taxed more to pay subsidies to defray the soaring heating bills caused in part by Congress’s refusal to allow more drilling for domestic oil and gas. In another bitter irony, the House has already voted for Alaskan drilling five times since 2001, only to be stymied by the Senate. Now that the Senate has maneuvered to pass ANWR with 51 votes by using the budget process to elude a filibuster, the House 25 are doing Harry Reid’s dirty work.

  • America can survive these policy setbacks; the question is whether the Republican majority will, or even should. If a GOP Congress can’t vote to sustain its own wildly successful tax cuts, or to explore for more domestic energy, let’s just turn Congress over to Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi and at least have truth in liberal advertising.

Have WMD been found in Iraq? Yes. Just not in the quantities expected.

  • June 23, 2004: 1.77 Metric Tons of enriched uranium for bomb making found in a nuclear facility in Iraq.

  • June 23, 2004: DOE experts find 1,000 radioactive materials in “powdered form” to be easily dispersed.

  • Cyclosarin (nerve agent) found in 17 warheads found by Polish intelligence officials in Iraq after being tipped off by citizens.Citizens told Polish authorities they were being sold on the black market to terrorists.

  • August 8, 2005: Mosul, Iraq warehouse where US soldiers find 1,500 gallons of chemical agents.

  • May 17, 2004: Sarin gas found in IED exploded when US Convoy is passing by in Iraq.

  • Much more info in Richard Miniter’s new book, “Disinformation 22 Media Myths that Undermine the War on Terror.”
  • If we knew there were no WMD, why were our troops wearing Chem Suits during the seige of Baghdad and why were there chickens in cages on the fronts of their vehicles to detect chemical and biological agents?

  • P.S. All of these weapons were supposed to have been destroyed by Saddam following weapons inspections during the 1990’s

The Liar’s Club: Who’s Lying Now?

Who cares about our country? The Democrat leaders were on board with the war from the git-go and now they say they were duped by the President because he lied. Well, if George Bush lied then so did the intelligence agencies of FRANCE, GERMANY, AND BRITAIN in addition to our own CIA.

For a Commentary about the Bush Lied Liars Club read here.

Here’s another member of the Liar’s Club here.

Remember as you peruse, for the Democrats to win on this issue the country must lose the war. Whose side are they on? Theirs and to*^%!!* with the rest of us. Just who is rewriting history here?

So…for the Bush Lied crowd if he lied then so did the current members of your Bush Lied Liar’s Club.

“What is at stake is how to answer the potential threat Iraq represents with the risk of proliferation of WMD. Baghdad’s regime did use such weapons in the past. Today, a number of evidences may lead to think that, over the past four years, in the absence of international inspectors, this country has continued armament programs.” — Jacques Chirac, October 16, 2002

“The community of nations may see more and more of the very kind of threat Iraq poses now: a rogue state with weapons of mass destruction, ready to use them or provide them to terrorists. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow.” — Bill Clinton in 1998

“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security.” — Hillary Clinton, October 10, 2002

“Iraq is not the only nation in the world to possess weapons of mass destruction, but it is the only nation with a leader who has used them against his own people.” — Tom Daschle in 1998

“We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction.” — Ted Kennedy, September 27, 2002

“There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein’s regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed.” — Ted Kennedy, Sept 27, 2002

“The threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but as I said, it is not new. It has been with us since the end of that war, and particularly in the last 4 years we know after Operation Desert Fox failed to force him to reaccept them, that he has continued to build those weapons. He has had a free hand for 4 years to reconstitute these weapons, allowing the world, during the interval, to lose the focus we had on weapons of mass destruction and the issue of proliferation.” — John Kerry, October 9, 2002

“We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandates of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them.” — Carl Levin, Sept 19, 2002

“As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process.” — Nancy Pelosi, December 16, 1998

“There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years. And that may happen sooner if he can obtain access to enriched uranium from foreign sources — something that is not that difficult in the current world. We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.” — John Rockefeller, Oct 10, 2002

“Saddam’s existing biological and chemical weapons capabilities pose a very real threat to America, now. Saddam has used chemical weapons before, both against Iraq’s enemies and against his own people. He is working to develop delivery systems like missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles that could bring these deadly weapons against U.S. forces and U.S. facilities in the Middle East.” — John Rockefeller, Oct 10, 2002

‘We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.” — Bob Graham, December 2002 *

A Nation at War: Democrats Win Trust War? At What Price?

Poll: Most Americans Doubt Bush’s Honesty

Most Americans say they aren’t impressed by the ethics and honesty of the Bush administration, already under scrutiny for its justifications for an unpopular war in Iraq and its role in the leak of a covert CIA officer’s identity.

Almost six in 10 _ 57 percent _ said they do not think the Bush administration has high ethical standards and the same portion says President Bush is not honest, an AP-Ipsos poll found. Just over four in 10 say the administration has high ethical standards and that Bush is honest. Whites, Southerners and white evangelicals were most likely to believe Bush is honest.

Bush, who promised in the 2000 campaign to uphold “honor and integrity” in the White House, last week ordered White House workers, from presidential advisers to low-ranking aides, to attend ethics classes.

The president gets credit from a majority for being strong and decisive, but he’s also seen by an overwhelming number of people as “stubborn,” a perception reinforced by his refusal to yield on issues like the Iraq war, tax cuts and support for staffers under intense pressure.
More than eight in 10, 82 percent, described Bush as “stubborn,” with almost that many Republicans agreeing to that description.
