MY PREDICTION: 0 stories on Saddam's terror training camps by the EneMedia. And if they finally break down and say anything it will be all about how Cheney planted the evidence.

The strategy behind the 'hoax'ocaust. Will we keep slip slidin' away?

Chester Inspires The Comment Of The Day

It's apparent that at least some of the responders are unaware of Iran's intentions.
When the leaders of Iran get to together, they end their meetings with "Death to Israel! Death to America!" It's not an empty threat.

Iran has successfully tested its Shahab-3 missiles...firing them off of freighters and detonating them at high elevations.

According to President Reagan's chief scientific advisor, William E. Graham, the sole purpose of a test like that would be to detonate nukes at high elevations...creating EMP nukes (electro-magnetic pulse nukes.)

EMP nukes fired from the Atlantic and detonated over the east coast would shut down all the electricity as far as Chicago and St. Louis and cover the entire east coast.

There would be no refrigeration, tap water, working toilets, trucks, cars, etc.

It would result in chaos and pestilence for half the country.

The nexus of Muslim fanaticism and EMP nukes means we must act quickly and dramatically.

THAT is why the former Secretaries of Defense and State were brought to the White House. We are about to ebark on an extraordinary venture to protect our very existence.

If we don't..."Death to America!" will not be just a slogan...it will be a dream come true for the demented, twisted Islamists and their messianic 'million-man-Jonestown-kool-aid' fantasies.

Golf, anyone?

The Neo-Syndicalists will now commence foaming...

"But I'm prepared to make an exception for Pat Robertson."

I have to admit amazement that the Catholics have selected such a clear-eyed Pope. He may even deserve that capitalization if he keeps this up...

"The best of us live in the hope of receiving judgment, not escaping it."

WALL WATCH: "The world is getting flatter but the great wall is getting thicker."

And now ... just in "time" ... the garden of the Finzi-Continis.

QandO Has Had It Today

And I'm nearly there myself:

The best defense is a good offense, offense, in this case, being to transmit the culture and values that have underpinned Western economic and political dominance to the Muslim world. That means promoting democracy, limited government, human rights, and free markets to a region of the world where they have been essentially nonexistent for the last millennium. And, even then, I'm not sure it's possible to do effectively. I just think it's the only policy that has any chance of succeeding.

Whether we'll actually even attempt to do so, and do so consistently, over the long term—is an open question. In the current political climate of America, I doubt it. And the only thing that will change the political climate is, I think, another—or perhaps more than one—terrorist attack. And a truly horrific one.

As I've related before, back in the early days after 9/11, Sci-Fi author John Ringo predicted that America would pull together for a while, but would soon fall back to squabbling, until there was another terrorist attack, at which point the cycle would start all over again. He predicted the cycle would repeat until the patience of the electorate snapped, and we went to full-scale war with the Muslim world.

Apparently, he was right. Maybe that's what it will take for the current generation of Americans to learn what our grandparents learned to their dismay in the 1930s: that liberty must be defended, and that our society, for all its faults, is far, far better than anything that is available to replace it.

So, you know what? To that end, I'm perfectly prepared to let the Left have its way.

I'll make a deal with the Left: You wanna impeach President Bush? Go ahead. Knock yourself out. In fact, let's just go to the polls and turn the whole government over to the Democrats. You wanna run the whole show? Fine. Elect Howard Dean President. End all surveillance against possible enemy combatants, unless you can get a warrant based on probable cause. Withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan immediately. Permanently kill the PATRIOT Act. Do whatever you want to do. I'm perfectly willing, at this point, to do it your way.

I mean, really, what's the worst that can happen? An American city goes up in nuclear fire? Well, it'll probably be New York, Chicago, or LA. You know, a major city. I don't live there, nor do most Americans. So we'll be fine.

But here's the other half of the deal: If that happens, we get to march on Washington, drag you naked and screaming from your offices, and hang you from the ornate lampposts that line The Mall. Then, free from roadblocks thrown up by infantile political fools, maybe we'll get serious about defending the United States, her people, her freedoms, and her values, in an increasingly hostile world.

The only little problem here is that one of the hits we take turning our cheeks in the warm-ups may put us down so we can't get back up. And that would include my family that I love so dearly.

Frick.

RTWT. Period.

Today's miracle. And today's predictable pronouncement from the loony bin.

Think small (cap).

And down the MSMemory Hole with the net...

Gotcha!

"It is no wonder that genocide is so often preceded by efforts to disarm the people."

Someday there may be a Wretchard of the left. I'm not holding my breath though: What do you leave behind?

"The second rule is to give credit to people that they are sincere in their beliefs."

"[I]t is these Democrats, not George W. Bush or their Republican critics, who have raised the question of whether they are on America's side."

Pure motives? ... NYeT!
