Prissy: Vouchers would lead to jihad schools!

Clinton raps vouchers

"First family that comes and says 'I want to send my daughter to St. Peter's Roman Catholic School' and you say 'Great, wonderful school, here's your voucher,'" Clinton said. "Next parent that comes and says, 'I want to send my child to the school of the Church of the White Supremacist ...' The parent says, 'The way that I read Genesis, Cain was marked, therefore I believe in white supremacy. ... You gave it to a Catholic parent, you gave it to a Jewish parent, under the Constitution, you can't discriminate against me.'"

As an adoring, if somewhat puzzled, audience of Bronx activists looked on, Clinton added, "So what if the next parent comes and says, 'I want to send my child to the School of the Jihad? ... I won't stand for it."

The former first lady said that vouchers would also accentuate divisions, singling out government-financed Protestant and Catholic schools in Northern Ireland and similar arrangements in the Netherlands as examples of poorly functioning systems.

Worse still, some parent comes along and says "I want to send my kid to a school that will inculcate him with values contrary to those of his mother and me, turn him against his country and deprive him of the skills and the mindset to be a competitive, productive, successful American."

Oh -- wait. We already have that under the NEA/AFT monopoly!

Hell, Dubai Ports World couldn't do much worse.

We're not certain that Prissy, who sent her daughter to an exclusive crackpot left wing private school -- ironically, using taxpayers' dollars -- gets this, but there already exist "divisions" -- those who can afford to opt out of their public schools if they find them lacking and those who cannot.

This is what passes for genius on the Left?

Saddam tapes affirm that invasion was justified ... in 1995!

With the defection of Hussein's son-in-law and the revelation that Iraq was deceiving the world and maintaining its WMD and WMD programs and the knowledge that Iraq was providing safe haven for one of the vermin involved in the 1993 WTC bombing -- to say nothing of the plan to assassinate GHWB -- "shock and awe" should have been unleashed on Baghdad in 1995/1996.

Of course, this was at a time when presidential approval poll points trumped leadership. Teenaged boys have a tough time with disapproval. Soldiers have next of kin; cruise missiles do not.

Adolescents make poor Commanders in Chief.

ISG top guy Charles Duelfer, reacting to the tapes, repeated his MSM-ignored 2004 conclusion ...

...

Charles Duelfer, who led the official U.S. search for weapons of mass destruction after the war, says the tapes show extensive deception but don't prove that weapons were still hidden in Iraq at the time of the U.S.-led war in 2003. "What they do is support the conclusion in the report, which we made in the last couple of years, that the regime had the intention of building and rebuilding weapons of mass destruction, when circumstances permitted." (Emphasis ours)

...

To us, Duelfer's 2004 conclusion -- which we actually bothered to READ in 2004 -- was match point.

Ignore that that which once existed ceased to exist with no proof of its destruction (required by the 1991 armistice) and that evidence suggests that the stuff that once existed might have been moved elsewhere: Saddam obviously intended to make more at his earliest possible convenience.

Wether you're killed by bio or chem weapons this week or two years from this week ... you're still dead.

Why this conclusion has been mostly quashed by the MSM and only tepidly pointed out by the Administration is baffling. Actually, the MSM part isn't so baffling.

In a sane world, it'd be incumbent upon Saddam's defenders to explain why allowing his regime to survive was sensible policy.

Pentagon confirms authenticity of abuse photos: official

Photographs of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib that surfaced publicly for the first time are authentic but had been investigated previously by the US military, a defense official said.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the pictures matched those gathered by the US military two years ago as part of its investigation into the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.

Australian public broadcaster SBS aired the images, 15 of which also were posted on the website of the Sydney Morning Herald.

The graphic photos show naked inmates at the jail forced into sexually humiliating positions, handcuffed to beds and hooded.

The US defense official said only one of the photographs could not be authenticated because there were no people in it.

"The other 14 can be matched to a CID photo log and are authentic," he said. The CID is the army criminal investigation unit that probed the abuse scandal.

"There is nothing new here," he said. The images "have been previously investigated as part of the Abu Ghraib investigation."

Gore laments U.S. 'abuses' against Arabs

JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - Former Vice President Al Gore told a mainly Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed "terrible abuses" against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment.

Gore said Arabs had been "indiscriminately rounded up" and held in "unforgivable" conditions. The former vice president said the Bush administration was playing into al-Qaida's hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications.
"The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake," Gore said during the Jiddah Economic Forum. "The worst thing we can possibly do is to cut off the channels of friendship and mutual understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States."

Gore told the largely Saudi audience, many of them educated at U.S. universities, that Arabs in the United States had been "indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable."

"Unfortunately there have been terrible abuses and it's wrong," Gore said. "I do want you to know that it does not represent the desires or wishes or feelings of the majority of the citizens of my country."

On Iran, Gore complained of "endemic hyper-corruption" among Tehran's religious and political elite and asked Arabs to take a stand against Iran's nuclear program.

Iran says its program is for peaceful purposes but the United States and other Western countries suspect Tehran is trying to develop nuclear weapons.

"Is it only for the West to say this is dangerous?" Gore asked. "We should have more people in this region saying this is dangerous."

Probe of domestic eavesdropping leak expands: report

Federal agents have interviewed officials at several law enforcement and national security agencies in a criminal investigation into The New York Times' disclosure of a U.S. domestic eavesdropping program, the newspaper reported.

In a story posted to its Web site to appear in its Sunday editions, The Times said the investigation was focused on circumstances surrounding its disclosure late last year of the highly classified program.

Officials and others interviewed by the Times said the investigation seemed to lay the groundwork for a grand jury inquiry and possible criminal charges, the Times said.

Many described the investigation as aggressive and fast moving, with the initial focus on identifying government officials who have had contacts with Times reporters, particularly those in the newspaper's Washington bureau.

It said an FBI team had questioned employees at the FBI, the National Security Agency, the Justice Department, the CIA and the office of the Director of National Intelligence, and that prosecutors had taken steps to activate a grand jury.

President George W. Bush has condemned the leak as a "shameful act" and CIA Director Porter Goss told a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on February 2:

"It is my aim, and it is my hope that we will witness a grand jury investigation with reporters present being asked to reveal who is leaking this information."

The Times characterized the case as one that pits the government, for which "the investigation represents an effort to punish those responsible for a serious security breach" and news outlets, for which the inquiry threatens confidentiality of sources "and the ability to report on controversial national security issues free of government interference."

The newspaper's executive editor, Bill Keller, said no one at the paper had been contacted in connection with the investigation, and defended the Times' reporting on the story.

"What our reporting has done is set off an intense national debate about the proper balance between security and liberty," Keller said in the story.

"What our reporting has done is set off an intense national debate about the proper balance between security and liberty," Keller said in the story.

No, Mr. Keller, what your reporting has done is put the kybosh on a useful tool in the War on Jihadistan.

Well done ...

Similarly, your fellow travellers have revealed the existence of secret CIA prisons, needlessly inflamed the Mohammedans with false tales of flushed Korans and disproportionate coverage of Abu Ghraib -- and let's not forget, portraying Club Gitmo as a modern day concentration camp -- in general, undermined the war effort and spurred on the enemy whenever possible.

When it's all over, how much American blood -- military AND civilian -- will be on the hands of the MSM?

We used to hang traitors.

20 January 2009

A thought occurred to us a moment ago ... Come January 20, 2009, The Evil Idiot Genius George W. Bush will no longer be President of the United States, yet the War on Jihadistan will surely rage on.

Suppose that some unfortunate twist of fate befalls us and ... oh ... let's go for the the King of the Kooks ... Howard Dean is elected in 2008.

He settles into his chair behind the big desk in the Oval Office when it suddenly occurs to him: the survival of 300 million of us -- to say nothing of Civilization -- relies in huge part on the decisions he makes.

We are hip to the notion that, to Lefties, government is a giant gumball machine from which goodies -- paid for with someone else's quarter -- are dispensed to the lumpen masses in return for votes.

But "provide for the common defence" is the greatest charge the national government has.

We wonder how the Loony Left will react when and if one of its own comes to the realization that this is serious stuff. It's one thing to carp and criticize from the outside, to put politics ahead of sanity for the sake of getting elected and not having to produce anything of value in order to make a living.

But with responsibility comes ... well, responsibilty.

Suddenly, listening in on those on al Qaeda's speed dial might seem sensible to a President Dean.

We are confident that even the daffiest candidates of the Loony Left (though The Lunatic Al Gore might be an exception) are poseurs -- that their acts are a sop to the true nuts at Moveon.org and The Daily Kos whose support would help them attain the top office ...

We wonder what would happen, if, having ridden the bright, elusive butterfly of Bush-hatred into the Oval Office, a Moonbat-in-Chief suddenly ... grew up.

Whither the Disloyal Opposition then?

We hear Hamas is hiring.

Prissy rejects Wal-Mart bux

Hillary Clinton Returns Wal-Mart Cash

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton gathered checks from Hollywood friends, John Kerry's wife and even a former Republican congressman, but records filed Friday show she returned cash from an even older ally - Wal-Mart.

...

Clinton returned $5,000 to the political action committee of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., a company with long ties to the Clintons dating back to their days in Arkansas, where Wal-Mart is headquartered.

Clinton campaign spokeswoman Ann Lewis said the money was returned 'because of serious differences with current company practices.'

The senator served on the Wal-Mart board from 1986 to 1992, and was close with the Walton family that created the nation's largest retailer.

Update 14: CIA Chief Says Wiretap Disclosure Damaging

CIA Director Porter Goss said Thursday that the disclosure of President Bush's eavesdropping-without-warrants program and other once-secret projects had undermined U.S. intelligence-gathering abilities.

"The damage has been very severe to our capabilities to carry out our mission," Goss told the Senate Intelligence Committee. He said a federal grand jury should be empaneled to determine "who is leaking this information."

His testimony came after National Intelligence Director John Negroponte, who directs all intelligence activities, strongly defended the program, calling it crucial for protecting the nation against its most menacing threat.

"This was not about domestic surveillance," Negroponte said.

MA Women Sue Wal-Mart Over Emergency Contraception

Three Massachusetts women have filed suit againt Wal-Mart because the store's pharmacy does not sell an emergency contraceptive.

The suit filed in Suffolk Superior Court seeks a court order compelling Wal-Mart to stock the so-called "morning after pill," in its 44 Massachusetts pharmacies.

The plaintiffs are Katrina McCarty of Somerville, Julie Battel of Boston, and Dr. Rebekah Gee of Boston. All three were turned away when they tried to buy emergency contraception pills at area Wal-Marts.

Gee says she regularly prescribes the morning after pill to her patients as a stand by emergency contraceptive...but when she went into a local Walmart with a prescription for it, she was told they couldn't and wouldn't fill it.

House Clears Budget-Cut Bill for Bush

WASHINGTON - The House on Wednesday narrowly approved Congress' first attempt in eight years to slow the growth of benefit programs like Medicaid and student loan subsidies, sending the measure to President Bush.

The bill passed by a vote of 216-214, largely along party lines. Republicans hailed the five-year, $39 billion budget-cutting bill as an important first step to restoring discipline on spending. Democrats attacked the measure as an assault on college students and Medicaid patients and said powerful Washington lobbyists had too much influence on it.

The measure is a leftover item from the GOP fall agenda. Bush is eager to sign it into law.

It blends modest cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and student loan subsidies with a renewal of the 1996 welfare reform bill and $10 billion in new revenues from auctioning television airwaves to wireless companies. There's also $1 billion in new spending to extend an income subsidy program for dairy farmers and a reprieve for physicians who had faced a 4 percent cut in Medicare fees.

The $39 billion in cuts are generally small — a 0.4 percent cut in Medicaid funding and 0.3 percent cut in Medicare over five years — compared with deficits expected to total $1.3 trillion or more through 2010. Still, the bill set off a brawl between Democrats and Republicans and whipped up opposition from interest groups like AARP.
