Froggy writes of Howard Dean raising the white flag:

It is hardly surprising that someone like Howard Dean would predict a US defeat in Iraq. Being a huge loser himself and Chairman of a party chock full of losers, I would imagine that it is difficult to see any serious challenge as being achievable. As for Kerry, it’s not like he hasn’t been down this road before; the only difference is that instead of slandering US troops before the Senate, he is doing it as a Senator. Frankly, I don’t know what to say that
wouldn’t fall into the category of ad hominem attack, and that is not the way I like to write. So I’ll let you do it.

It’s a damn shame that Howard and John have forgotten the lesson of one of greatest Presidents – a democrat himself who refused to ever give in:

I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces – with the unbounded determination of our people – we will gain the inevitable triumph

Larry Elder posts both sides of what appears to be an email dialogue with a moonbat leftist:

What to do when you encounter someone who instinctively, pathologically hates President George W. Bush? Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean clearly spoke for many when he said, “I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for …” Consider, for example, the following anti-Iraq war letter I received, and my attempt to engage the sender in dialogue.

Read the rest.

Shockingly, there was no mention of “Bushitler” or “BushChimp”, though Cheney’s dark men make an appearance.

Yup, the levees were bombed. I knew it! I KNEW IT!

On Tuesday, black Katrina survivors told Congress they felt racism played a major role in the government’s slow response to the storm, with some residents telling Congress they believe the government bombed the levees to intentionally breach them.

Ernie the Attorney feels the same way:

Yes, let’s send some more people to Washington like this. As Congress decides how much money to appropriate to a region that has been devasted by an epic storm (a region, which by the way includes the Gulf Coast of Mississippi), it’s always good to hear from New Orleans conspiracy theorists who have no shred of scientific evidence to back up their ludicrous claims.

For example, read the article that contains this quote: “I was on my front porch,” Diane Cole French said at the hearings. “I have witnesses that they bombed the walls of the levee.” And watch the video associated with the article.

As Forest Gump said, stupid is as stupid does.

And we wonder why things are taking so long in New Orleans.. now you know…

Congress is now investigating the BCS.

What’s the BCS, you might ask? It’s the points and bowls system used to determine the national champion for college football.

Why is Congress investigating this? I’ve no idea. Where do they get the authority to investigate this? I’ve no idea of that either.

Coyote Blog has more:

Wow, it must be the 30th Amendment:  Congress shall make no law abridging the right of Division 1 college football fans to have a clear national champion.  I wonder if this is just a ploy to get free Rose Bowl tickets?

Everyone in Congress.  Go home.  Now.  Don’t come back.

Little Green Footballs has this post up about John Bolton:

John Bolton stands up against the appallingly corrupt United Nations, who passed six more resolutions condemning Israel on Thursday: Bolton Says Palestinian Resolutions Demonstrate UN Irrelevance.

I generally find the UN to be incredibly corrupt – and their machinations to be the worst stuff of global politics.

Bolton, I believe, has done a very fine job at the UN. He has said what needed to be said – and done it repeatedly.

President Bush, today:

Setting an artificial deadline to withdraw would send a message across the world that America is weak and an unreliable ally.

Setting an artificial deadline to withdraw would send a signal to our enemies that if they wait long enough, America will cut and run and abandon its friends.

And setting an artificial deadline to withdraw would vindicate the terrorist tactics of beheadings and suicide bombings and mass murder and invite new attacks on America.

To all who wear the uniform, I make you this pledge: America will not run in the face of car bombers and assassins so long as I am your commander in chief.

We’ll leave when the mission is done. And not a moment sooner.
