Mylroie must-read

Mylroie noted that after the first World Trade Center bombing in 1993, FBI probers in New York believed that Iraq was responsible. "The key is the identity of the mastermind of [the '93] bombing, Ramzi Yousef. ... The mastermind of the 9/11 strikes, we now know, is supposed to be Yousef's uncle, Khalid Sheik Mohammed."

Mylroie maintains that both Yousef and Mohammed were Iraqi intelligence agents who were given phony identities to conceal their ties to Iraq during Saddam's occupation of Kuwait.

Yousef, for instance, entered the U.S. before the '93 bombing on an Iraqi passport.

The Left said the same thing during Gulf War I

Leftists like Maureen Dowd and Chris Matthews have accused George Dubya of going to War in Iraq for his Daddy. The accusation always struck me as absurd and stale, but now I see it was more absurd and stale than I ever imagined.

"There are certain acts that transcend... ordinary human measure. Take President Bush's display of paternal love: starting a war to get his son (Neal) out of the news." - Lefty Writer Andrei Codrescu from his book Zombification.

So Gulf War I wasn't about Saddam's invasion and rape of Kuwait? It was just to change the subject from Neil Bush's S&L trouble? Apparently, the Left never tires of accusing Republican Presidents named Bush of bringing the country to war over petty familial concerns. According to the Left, Dubya did it for Poppy, and Poppy did it for Neil. And we're supposed to take these people seriously?

"Having gone to war in defiance of the U.N. and international opinion, the US stands isolated. Now the US and Britain have been totally exposed in that the threat of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) was a bogey and the story about Iraq buying uranium from Niger was a deliberate fabrication to dupe the US Congress and the world at large. By its own admission, the US is embroiled in a war of resistance with the Iraqi people, which is why it is relying on India and Pakistan amongst other countries to bail it out of the quagmire. It is not only question of body bags being received back home, but also the fact that the American army stationed in Iraq is frustrated. Indeed, its morale is at the lowest ebb, especially after knowing the mendacity of their government that they are fighting an illegal and immoral war."

From The Fronteir Post of beautiful, downtown Peshawar, Pakistan. Who knew Dana Milbank wrote for them?

More BS from BS

"Now that Saddam's regime has been toppled (Babs Is that a bad thing?)and we have yet to find any evidence of weapons of mass destruction, the Democrats and the media (Isn't there a huge overlap there?) have finally begun to fully investigate and publicize these false claims (Babs thought they were true when Clinton said it in 1998) and to ask the tough questions. Now that we have destroyed Iraq (Does Babs really believe this?), now that we are stuck rebuilding a country and spending tens of billions of taxpayer money (When has that every been a problem for Babs?)and now that we must break it to soldiers who were told "the road home goes through Baghdad" that they cannot go home, that they must stay in Iraq and continue fighting a guerilla war ... now we are questioning what brought us there in the first place."

"That questioning should lead us directly to National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice (Babs is blaming Condi, how feminist is that? Anyone smell a whiff of racism?"), one of the closest people to the president. "- Barbara Streisand, from her hideous website.

A Little 411 on Niger's Economy

The persistent uranium price slump has brought lower revenues for Niger's uranium sector, although uranium still provides 68 percent of national export proceeds. Industry officials have been working to reduce excessive costs of production, including personnel, electricity, transportation, hospital administration, mining town management fees and debt. Niger's two uranium mines (SOMAIR's open pit mine and COMINAK's underground mine) are primarily owned and operated by French interests.

Why Bush Put the Sixteen Words in the SOTU

Why hasn't Chris Matthews talked about Terry Jeffrey's new column?This is blockbuster stuff that the Left doesn't want you to know.

Stalin Tried to Kill John Wayne


SOVIET tyrant Josef Stalin ordered hitmen to kill movie idol John Wayne, it was claimed yesterday.

The murderous dictator feared that famously anti-Communist superstar Wayne would thwart his plans for a global red revolution.

British historian Michael Mann said: "Stalin saw him as a gigantic propaganda symbol against the Soviets."

From The Sun

Have we finally discovered why the American Left hated John Wayne so much?

Why Bubba Bombed


"Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces.

"Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors."

"Their purpose is to protect the national interest of the United States, and indeed the interests of people throughout the Middle East and around the world."

Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons.

I want to explain why I have decided, with the unanimous recommendation of my national security team, to use force in Iraq...

From Bill Clinton on December 16, 1998

Ms. Soderberg, what did you tell your President and when did you tell him?

Bubba Thought Saddam Had Terror Ties

"Saddam Hussein's Iraq reminds us of what we learned in the 20th century and warns us of what we must know about the 21st. In this century, we learned through harsh experience that the only answer to aggression and illegal behavior is firmness, determination, and when necessary action. "

"In the next century, the community of nations may see more and more 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, drug traffickers or organized criminals who travel the world among us unnoticed."

From Bill Clinton in 1998.

Apparently, Bubba was allowed to suggest a relationship between Saddam and the terrorists. We never heard any of the Leftist talking heads say (in 1998) that Saddam's secularism made a link with Al Qaeda unthinkable.

File This Under Bad Joke


"The national security adviser is responsible for the quality of the President's speech. And the idea that she is fawning it off on the CIA Director is passing the buck. Ultimately, though, the President is responsible. And I think you have a number of guys and Condoleeza Rice who came to office before 9/11, wanting to overthrow Saddam Hussein. They wanted to finish the job that Bush's father did not do. And the facts were not as relevant an issue as they've been throughout this process. So it's not just Condi. It's the whole team."

Nancy Soderberg, Clinton National Security Adviser, On Hardball.

Is it possible to have less credibility than the Clinton National Security team? Has Carter's economic team put out a press release lately?

Calling All Shrinks!

"It's the sixteen words we're talking about. It's the sixteen words we're talking about regarding a nuclear arms deal with Africa..."- From Chris Matthews on Hardball. How about three words, Chris? Take your meds!

Looks like "Get Condi" is coming to a political theater near you!

"If the national security adviser didn't understand the repeated State Department and CIA warnings about the uranium allegation, that's a frightening level of incompetence. It's even more serious if she knew and ignored the intelligence warnings and has deliberately misled our nation." - From the nostrils of the towering statesman Henry Waxman (D, CA).

Also, the Meltdown with Keith Olbermann and Heardbull with Chris Matthews featured segments of the "Get Condi" variety. The partisan Left's new narrative is that Bush is forcing Condi to take the fall--no doubt to destroy any headway Bush is making with the Black vote.

Bush's speech to the National Urban League has been largely ignored, instead the libs in the media are focusing on Bush's refusal to meet with the NAACP. And the beat goes on.

Thanks for the Memories, Bob

Here's a wonderful essay about Hope by John Steinbeck. It really underscores how dreadful the current crop of Hollywoodistas is.


Bob Hope

London, July 26, 1943


When the time for recognition of service to the nation in wartime comes to be considered , Bob Hope should be high on the list. This man drives himself and is driven. It is impossible to see how he can do so much, can cover so much ground, can work so hard, and can be so effective. He works month after month at a pace that would kill most people.

Moving about the country in camps, airfields, billets, supply depots, and hospitals, you hear one thing consistently. Bob Hope is coming, or Bob Hope has been here. The Secretary of War is on an inspection tour, but it is Bob Hope who is expected and remembered.

In some way he has caught the soldiers' imagination, He gets laughter wherever he goes from men who need laughter. He has created a character for himself --that of the man who tries to hard and fails, and who boasts and is caught at it. His wit is caustic, but it is never aimed at people, but at conditions and at ideas, and where he goes men roar with laughter and repeat his cracks for days afterward.

Hope does four, sometimes five, shows a day. In some camps, the men must come in shifts because they cannot all hear him at the same time. Then he jumps into a car, rushes to the next post, and because he broadcats and everyone listens to his broadcasts, he cannot use the same show more than a few times. He must, in the midst of his rushing and playing, build new shows constantly. If he did this for a while and then stopped and took a rest it would be remarkable, but he never rests. And he has been doing this ever since the war started. His energy is boundless.

Hope takes his shows all over. It isn't only to the big camps. In little groups on special duty you hear the same thing. Bob Hope is coming on Thursday. They know weeks in advance that he is coming. It would be rather a terrible thing if he did not show up. Perhaps that is some of his drive. He has made some kind of contract with himself and with the men that nobody, least of all Hope, could break. It is hard to overestimate the importance of this thing and the responsibility involved.

The battalion of men who are moving half-tracks from one place to another, doing a job that gets no headlines, no public notice, and yet which must be done if there is to be a victory, are forgotten, and they feel forgotten. But Bob Hope is in the country. Will he come to them, or won't he? And then one day they get a notice that he is coming. Then they feel remembered. This man in some way has become that kind of bridge. It goes beyond how funny he can be or how well Frances Langford sings. It has been interesting to see how he has become a symbol.

This writer, not knowing Hope, can only conjecture what goes on inside the man. He has seen horrible things and has survived them with good humor and made them more bearable, but that doesn't happen without putting a wound on a man. He is cut off from the rest, and from admitting weariness. Having become a symbol, he must lead a symbol life.

Probably the most difficult, the most tearing thing of all is to be funny in a hospital. The long, low buildings are dispersed in case they should be attacked. Working in the gardens or reading in the lounge rooms are the ambulatory cases in maroon bathrobes. But in the wards, in the long aisles of pain the men lie, with eyes turned inward on themselves, and on their people. Some are convalescing with all the pain and itch of convalescence. Some work their fingers slowly, and some cling to the little trapezes which help them to move in bed.

The immaculate nurses move silently in the aisles at the foot of the bed. The time hangs very long. Letters, even if they came every day, would seem weeks apart. Everything that can be done is done, but medicine cannot get the lonesomeness and the weakness of men who have been strong. And nursing cannot shorten one endless day in a hospital bed. And Bob Hope and his company must come up into this quiet, inward, lonesome place, and gently pull the minds outward and catch the interest, and finally bring laughter up out of the black water. There is a job. It hurts many of the men to laugh, hurts knitting bones, straines at sutured incisions, and yet the laughter is a great medicine.

This story is told in one of those nameless hospitals which must be safe from bombs. Hope and company had worked and gradually they got the leaden eyes to sparkling, had planted and nutured and coaxed laughter to life. A gunner, who had a stomach wound, was gasping softly with laughter. A railroad casualty slapped the cast on his left hand with his right hand by way of applause. And once the laughter was alive, the men laughed before the punch line and it had to be repeated so they could laugh again.

Finally it came time for Frances Langford to sing. The men asked for "As Time Goes By." She stood up beside the little GI piano and started to sing. Her voice is a little hoarse and strained. She has been working too hard and too long. She got through eight bars and was into the bridge, when a boy with a head wound began to cry. She stopped, and then went on but her voice wouldn't work anymore, and she finished the song whispering and then she walked out, so no one could see her, and broke down. The ward was quiet and no one applauded. And then Hope walked into the aisle between the beds and he said seriously, "Fellows the folks at home are having a terrible time about eggs. They can't get any powdered eggs at all. They've got to use the old-fashioned kind that you break open."

There's a man for you-- there is really a man.
