This Is Not A Democracy, It's A Republic........
Oh God!! Wait till your friends see Olie's name on this blog..BOOM!! BTW: Olie was one squared away Marine!
Ollie called it. You don't even have to be a democrat or republican to see that the agenda in Congress is to distract the public from real issues.
Instead of spending all their time passing meaningless bills calling for a withdrawl from Iraq or this witch-hunt for the AG, they should spend their time working on real issues like the weakening dollar, educational spending, and healthcare costs (and no freebie health fantasies like clinton offered today).
uhh actually hate to break it to you guys but ollie wrote an op ed about a month ago strongly AGAINST the surge and in fact, was highly critical of joe Lieberman and john mcain and questioned the veracity of their rheotic regarding the people they talked to in Iraq.
North claimed he knew all of them and would not have responded in the affirmative to the type of ideas and statements put forth by mcain, kagan and co.
Just wait liberals will replace the BALD EAGLE with a dopey pink chicken replace OLD GLORY with the rainbow flag of gays and enviromentalists wackos and replace OUR NATIONAL ANTHEME with some stupid song like AGE OF AQUARIUS the song of the drug freaks
Thanks for giving me potential nightmare material Fire.
More Troops = More Targets
by Oliver North (More by this author)
Posted: 01/05/2007
For months, advisers to President George W. Bush have been trying to convince the commander in chief that more U.S. troops in Iraq will improve prospects for victory. Senators John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), both recently returned from Iraq (and a courageous surprise stopover in Ramadi, capital of bloody Al Anbar Province) also support adding more American troops. Unfortunately, they are wrong.
"I believe there is still a compelling reason to have an increase in troops here in Baghdad and in Anbar province in order to bring the sectarian violence under control," McCain said after his visit. For his part, Lieberman said the idea of sending another 30,000 troops to Iraq is "exactly" the course of action he hopes to see the president take.
McCain and Lieberman talked to many of the same officers and senior NCOs I covered for FOX News during my most recent trip to Iraq. Not one of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Guardsmen or Marines I interviewed told me that they wanted more U.S. boots on the ground. In fact, nearly all expressed just the opposite: "We don't need more American troops, we need more Iraqi troops," was a common refrain. They are right
I don't think the surge is seen as permanently putting and keeping more troops there. Baghdad and surrounding areas had become so infested that just expecting the Iraqi's to clean it up wasn't realistic.
I think we all agree that the Iraqi's need to take over major responsibilities as soon as possible.
Ollie is right about the dems though ... they will do anything and sacrifice anything to score political hits. They really don't give a damn about anything except polls and votes.
Despicable creatures they are.
Lester stupider then a turkey
Actually Firebird turkeys are quite intelligent, let's try "more stupid than an amoeba?"
All right Lestard, I read Ollie's missive. He has a point. His point is send more "trainers" over rather than combat troops. That would still be sending targets there.
Regardless, I disagree with him. I am allowed to do that 'eh.
The demon-rats are doing just what they promised to do - start endless investigations and issue endless subpoenas. Promise kept.
End the war by pretending to fund the troops but instead using the money that would have gone to supply them, (with bodyarmour, bullets, equipement repairs and those nifty new armoured vehicles that can withstand an IED) but instead going for pork projects such as peanut storage, spinach production, and issuing a timeline for withdrawal. Promise almost kept. The prez will veto, of course, but HEH! At least they TRIED!
The big lie they are now spouting (except I beleieve THEY actually believe it!) is that this is what the American people voted them into office to do.
What a joke! Not a single one of these creeps stood on any issues, had any platform. Their motto was for change - but never defining that change. Had we had more true conservatives in office (like George Allen and Rick Santorum who unfortunately got caught in the wave) and not the rino's we had there perhaps we would have a prayer.
Now all we can do is sit back and watch these socialist hacks make a train wreck out of our country.
Won't take them long - look at the hell Jimmah Carter caused in just four years. THAT was 30 years ago - they've gotten much better at it over the years. Two years should be plenty of time for them flush this country right down the toilet.
OT: I heard a hilarious radio commercial today. It was for one of those on-star type car directional systems. You hear the wife say, "Go left!" The husband exclaims, "NO! We've been going left since Roosevelt!" Then the on-star fella says his spiel (alluding to the political slant you DON'T have control over, but this system gives you the control over WHERE you travel on the road). Then you hear the female directional voice say, "Go right."
Pretty funny!
ollie north nailed it alright.
"Not one of the soldiers, sailors, airmen, Guardsmen or Marines I interviewed told me that they wanted more U.S. boots on the ground. In fact, nearly all expressed just the opposite"
Tickle, tickle.
Bush's lack of results is going to make it almost impossible for a conservative to get elected for the next 12-16 years.
If he had stayed focused and gotten something accomplished and if he had listened to the military and gone into Iraq the way we planned since 1991, then he might not have had all these issues and Iraq would be a much nicer place today.
But he has become the poster child to get the vote out for liberals, and will probably continue to be the motivating factor long after he is gone.
The deficit that he burnt through over the last 6+ years is astounding and that will be felt long after the problems in Iraq are over.
On other points its dispicable that he made such a rookie mistake with Abhu Grahib, and letting weapons of mass destruction get out of Iraq.
I suspect the liberals will vote on impeachment (unsuccessfully) before the year is out over the Attorney General attempt to hijack justice from the grass roots up(another rookie mistake). Its unfortunate that they will not impeach him for letting Syria get their hands on Sadam's goods or for the inevitable fall of Iraq to Iran.
Bush is probably the best thing that ever happened to Iran and Syria.
Ronald Reagan was smart enough to bring effective people in to get the job done (like Ollie North).
Next time conservatives pony up to the plate for the Presidential election they better land a smart president and not someone that claims a handicap but bolsters it with a 'good' VP.
Excellent point on Col. North.
BZ
Brett - Why do you keep referring to a two-term president as "rookie".
I won't try to address all your erroneous verbage, just one - the '91 military plan.
The recommended plan was to oust Saddam while were were there. However, the military was held short. It's the same kind of mistake made when Patton wasn't allowed to fight the Russians after WW2. If he had, there would have been no cold war. Likewise, if we had taken Saddam out in '91, Iraq would be relatively stable now.
Bush Jr. did exactly that, took out Saddam - quickly too. How is that not a specific objective?
Most of the bombings are secular Shia and Sunni in-fighting, not entirely directed at US troops. I find it difficult to measure Bush's success by his ability to resolve a 1500 year old religious problem.

"letting weapons of mass destruction out of iraq"?
do we have another conspiracy theorist?
There's a huge difference between plausible theories and crackpot theories like 9-11 was an inside job.
It's quite possible that WMD were spirited off to Syria, especially when you have a sitting Senator making a trip by himself to Syria in 2002 to warn them Bush was planning on invading Iraq.
SEN. ROCKEFELLER: No. The — I mean, this question is asked a thousand times and I'll be happy to answer it a thousand times. I took a trip by myself in January of 2002 to Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Syria, and I told each of the heads of state that it was my view that George Bush had already made up his mind to go to war against Iraq — that that was a predetermined set course which had taken shape shortly after 9/11.
Nice guy.
no it's just another conspiracy theory actually. and you made it worse by attempting to back it up
Uh, actually Lestard, he didn't.
What a joke! Not a single one of these creeps stood on any issues, had any platform.
I can see why that happened. The Republican Party, in abandoning every conceivable principle it has, now looks like the Democrat-lite Party.
I can see why it was easy to confuse the two. Damn those confused voters.
So, we can either bash moonbats or we can look to how fucked up your party is (it certainly isn't mine...not in the sad ass shape it's in now) and figure out what to do going forward.
I will hold my tongue on Rick Santorum other than to say he's a big-government statist who is much a part of the problem as the rest of them. He and Hillary can go hug each other and share stories about their collectivist viewpoints. I'm sure it'd be romantic.
Of course, as a libertarian, it's very tempting to tell the Republican Party to self fornicate. However, I'd almost rather eat broken glass than ally myself with any Democrat. I have far more in common with the "Old Right", which never was much to begin with but far more than the Democrats.
And people wonder why I'm pissed off all the time.
"self fornicate" ROTFLMAO!!!!
Don: Bitter, party of one.
Party of One. I love it. I'm only a Party of One because I've castigated all the non-believers.
I guess there's something wrong there, eh?
Geekioni (party of one) ... I can understand your bitterness. I also understand that many side with Republicans simply because they're so disgusted with the dems. I really can't argue with you because you're right on with the big government schtick.
Hmmmm ... can you handle Dennis Kucinich in a debate? How about Hillary? Obama?
The Don in '08?
Don Geekioni/Carey Carter(sp) ticket
Don Geekioni/Carey Cartter ticket
We have an offer you can't refuse!!!
Thanks, but I think I'm too libertarian to be a viable candidate. I'll eventually offend everyone on this forum.
I'll probably get Goldwatered anyway.
ROFL
jenn- awesome comeback
Of corse you think the Gonzales investigation is a waste, it exposes the conservatives total contempt for the American government system
This is simple cons
3rd grade government class
3 branches
Executive
Judicial
legislative
when attorneys are leaned on by the executive brance by means of the Attorney General, you are undermining American government
The judicial branch os not another arm of the executive branch
simple as that
THAT IS WHY THIS IS AN ISSUE
it is called 3rd grade government class
cons do not get it
Sao Jared Clinton should have been impeached for firing 98 AGs?
These guys are at will employees. At the will of their boss, the prsident.
They are not part of the judicial branch, ONLY the Supreme Court is the judicial portion of the govt.
It is not an issue that he fired 8 guys for NOT DOING THE JOB.
As usuall YOU do not get it
shot down again as usual
Screwhead ... when said attorneys are neglecting their duties in favor of advancing the agenda of the democrat party, they need to be canned. US Attorneys are political appointments. They can be fired at will and no justification need be given.
Idiot, you're the one that needs remedial government classes. Just show us one example of illegal behavior concerning said firings.
The treasonous dems know there's nothing there.
bush is like "hey I don't want qualified people, I want CRONIES. you know " heckova job Brownie"? I'm a communist. it's not a merit based system. deal with it, bitches"
les you dumb shit
Bush wants people who DO THE JOB,
they were fired for not doing the job they were hired to do, prosecute illegal activity.
their performance evaluations were virtually spotless.
gonzo's aide is going to take the 5th. LOL. "I take the 5th" that's like Bush leaking something to the new york times about himself. the attorney generals aide taking the 5th
She's taking the fifth because she knows the dems are on a witchhunt.
"The Fifth Amendment privilege protects not just the guilty, but also the innocent, who fear that even their entirely truthful responses might provide the government with incriminating evidence from their own mouths. (Ohio v. Reiner, 532 U.S. 17 (2001) (dictum).) "The privilege serves to protect the innocent who otherwise might be ensnared by ambiguous circumstances." (Slochower v. Bd. of Higher Ed. of the City of New York, 350 U.S. 551, 557-58 (1956).)"

virtually spotless like MINE on this fuckin board
a good way to avoid perjury is to TELL THE TRUTH
"a good way to avoid perjury is to TELL THE TRUTH"
You don't get it. Telling the truth doesn't matter and it isn't what the dems are looking for. They're looking for any inconsistency or disagreement with other's statements to accuse everyone they possibly can of perjury. They know there was nothing illegal about canning those attorneys and they don't care ... they just want to keep this senseless mess in the limelight up til the '08 election. All they need are some flimsy accusations of perjury so they can scream for a special counsel appointment and drag this thing into '08.
Get your head outta that Shia's ass and start smelling something better ... like the coffee.
ouch
a good way to avoid perjury is to TELL THE TRUTH
lester
Yeah RIGHT! What a joke. They'll try and get her 30 years even while she says the fifth. "The inflection in your voice while you stated the fifth was different and contradictory in your third rendition to the inflection you used in your two hundred and thirty forth! Your testimony will, of course be turned over to a grand jury for an immediate indictment for purjury!"
Something to hide?
What a maroon. Go play over on Screwballs site, you've been given way more than enough time to prove you can have a semi-itelligent conversation and have failed.
Take the hint.
she has a degree in law. I think she knows how to give testimony.
No doubt, it's keeping track of every word uttered in the thousands of pieces of correspondence that worrying. The dems are salivating at having anyone testify, then scour the records for the slighest misspeak so they can yell PERJURY! WE GOT YOU Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Sick bastards
This is the agenda of the democrats, that and pork.
Note: cyberstalking.
Note: What a fucking psycho certain leftard commenters are.
darwin- again, telling the truth eliminates the risk of that.
scooter libby was a lawyer too. they are not going to be "tricked" into perjury. they ARE perjurers
