Grant's Eye on the World
As we slowly move towards normalcy, we find a few roadblocks thrown in the way. Never fear, Americans can and do move around or over roadblocks. With some of those roadblocks actually 'in the road', I hope we run over them, not around. Let's take a look.
Fast Forward to 1967
Billie-bob's finest hour returns. What? He's going back into public office? No, hehe, he's watching some of his pre-presidential legacy come to fruition. Hehe, you want to know what's funny? Even if the ol' slimester disagrees with these idiots, he can't say anything. Well, maybe he can, the left overlooks hypocrites of the highest order. And he certainly is a hypocrite of the highest order.
Thousands Attend Anti-War
Rally, March to
Oppose Military Retaliation for Attacks;
September 30, 2001; AP
I have a real hard time following the liberal logic. Well, sorry, those two words are mutually exclusive.
Banging drums, singing
songs
and waving giant
puppets, several thousand anti-war
demonstrators marched Sunday to call for peace
following the terrorist attacks.
Notice anything in all this? Something really obvious I mean. Have you noticed that there weren't any mass protests during the Kosovo fiasco? I mean over a 5 year period Milosevich was accused of mass genocide for the deaths of 2000 people, and then they still couldn't find that much of a body count. Yet where were all the protestors then?
The peace rally and march had a festive
atmosphere, with families spreading out picnic
blankets in a park and performers leading the
crowd in songs with lyrics such as "No more
killing, no more war, no more violence
anymore."
I like a good picnic as well as the next guy, but you have to wonder if New Yorkers were invited to this picnic. Is there any doubt in your minds that those on the far left are socialists? If so, you're either blind or totally stupid.
We're here to honor and mourn the victims of
the
violent attacks," said Maria Ramos, coordinator
of the Washington Peace Center, which helped
organize the march. "Calling a criminal act an act
of war gives it too much dignity."
(In best John Lennon voice) ". . .all we are saaaayyyyinngg, is give peace a chance . . ." Well Maria, peace was given a chance. Looks like it didn't work. Wanna know what's worse? Reducing a heinous and overt act of war on innocent people to a criminal act. You want to take up your protest and picnic to Manhatten? I wouldn't give your festive group a snowball's chance in hell to see midnight. Course I don't give this peace effort that much chance anyway. Ask John Lennon.
As We Creep Back to Where We Were, the
Creeps Creep Back To Where We Are
We are now starting to find some other articles reappearing in the news. Here's one that made me take a second look.
Torricelli calls for board of inquiry; September
29,
2001; CNN.com
This is the typical pot calling the kettle black kinda story. Ol' Torrch here is playing tough guy.
Sen. Robert Torricelli, a New Jersey
Democrat, is
calling for a board of inquiry to investigate what
he described as "intelligence failures" prior to
the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York
and Washington.
Just a few short weeks ago, the Torrch here was featured right cheer on this ol' website. He was a senator from an anonymous state with no party affiliation. Looks like he's been identified this time around.
"It's not clear to me that unless we take a
look at
what went wrong and how our systems failed,
we're going to succeed in preventing any future
attacks," he said, adding that he was drafting
legislation to create such a board.
Think this is also true for certain Democratic senators from New Jersey who accept bribes, kickbacks and personal favors from mafia boys?
Torricelli, a member of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee, said the inquiry board
would be made up of "distinguished Americans
who understand law enforcement. . .
Excuse me (barf). There, that's better. That's tellin' em Bob - "distinguished Americans who understand law enforcement." You know what Bob? When all is said and done, you just might be the first senator ever to share a jail cell with someone where you actually helped move quick legislation to incarcerate them. And they say there's no justice! Hehe.
And the Photo Op Hits Keep Right on Comin' . . .
Rain, sleet, snow, dead of night won't keep me outa this one. "Ahh needs eekwal taaaime."
Jesse Jackson says will not go to Afghanistan
to
mediate in terror attacks; by Maura Kelly; AP
9/29/01
Who invited you anyway? The Taliban say they didn't.
Jesse Jackson said Saturday he will not travel
to
Afghanistan to mediate its dispute with America,
but will appeal for the handover of suspected
terrorists and the release of aid workers being
held there.
You sure you're not supposed to be with that left wing picnic in the first story Jess?
But Jackson said he decided not to make the
trip
after a delegation from Pakistan could not
persuade Afghan officials to release eight
Christian aid workers from prison and turn over
Osama Bin Laden, the prime suspect in the Sept.
11 attacks.
You're not suffering from cold feet are you Jess? They crucify Christians over there you know.
Jackson disputed reports that he initiated
contact
with Afghan leaders.
``I would not have known how to contact them,''
he said. ``I couldn't call 1-800-TALIBAN.''
After 2 letters and 1 phone call, I would have suspected they'd have at least had a return address somewhere. If not, then perhaps those letters were forged. . . . . You don't think those letters were faked, do you? Hehe, that's the way I heard it Jesse. That's the way I heard it my friend. (Hehehe) These liberals are a hoot, man! You can't write fiction this good.
Guess Your Ol' Friend Here Was Right
Again
For anyone who is interested, you can check last week's article in the archive to see where I accused Billie-bob of destroying the US intelligence agencies and sourcing his intelligence from poll data. I now can back up those statements.
Resentful west spurned Sudan's key
terror
files; David Rose; September 30, 2001; The
Observer (UK)
Any liberals still with me? Care to read on about Clinton and his foreign policy (more mutually exclusive terminology).
Security chiefs on both sides of the
Atlantic
repeatedly turned down the chance to
acquire a vast intelligence database on
Osama bin Laden and more than 200 leading
members of his al-Qaeda terrorist network in
the years leading up to the 11 September
attacks, an Observer investigation has
revealed.
I don't think Torrch is going to like this one bit.
On two separate occasions, they were
given
an opportunity to extradite or interview key
bin Laden operatives who had been arrested
in Africa because they appeared to be
planning terrorist atrocities.
Depends on the meaning of the word
atrocities, right Billie-bob?
None of the offers, made
regularly from the
start of 1995, was taken up.
One senior CIA source admitted last night:
'This represents the worst single
intelligence failure in this whole terrible
business.
It is the key to the whole thing right now.
It is reasonable to say that had we had this
data we may have had a better chance of
preventing the attacks.'
Stick around, it gets better folks.
He said the blame for the failure lay in the
'irrational hatred' the Clinton administration
felt for the source of the proffered
intelligence - Sudan, where bin Laden and
his leading followers were based from
1992-96.
He added that after a slow thaw in relations
which began last year, it was only now that
the Sudanese information was being
properly examined for the first time.
What a leader!!!
In 1996, following intense pressure from
Saudi Arabia and the US, Sudan agreed to
expel bin Laden and up to 300 of his
associates. Sudanese intelligence believed
this to be a great mistake.
'There we could keep track of him, read his
mail,' the source went on. 'Once we kicked
him out and he went to ground in
Afghanistan, he couldn't be tracked
anywhere.'
What leadership! What foresight! Ahhh, Billie-bob? Whose side were you on man?
US sources have confirmed that the FBI
wished to arrange their immediate
extradition. However, Clinton's Secretary of
State, Madeleine Albright, forbade it. She
had classed Sudan as a 'terrorist state,' and
three days later US missiles blasted the
al-Shifa medicine factory in Khartoum
Crazy Maddy NotSoBright to the rescue. If you care to look, that little mention of bombing the aspirin factory was in last week's commentary too. And she was interviewed on ABC after the WTC bombings telling Powell what he had to do!
Last year the CIA and FBI, following four
years of Sudanese entreaties, sent a joint
investigative team to establish whether
Sudan was in fact a sponsor of terrorism.
Last May, it gave Sudan a clean bill of
health. However, even then, it made no effort
to examine the voluminous files on bin
Laden.
You know what I think? When all the truth about how inept, stupid, dangerous, and farcical your administration was Billie-bob, New York might not be the safest place for you and the Missus to be. Not because of the terrorists, mind ya. But when the people of New York figure out who's to blame for all this, you might want to go back to Arkansas. What's that you say? They don't want you either?!!!!
Then There are Stories That Don't Please Me
One
Bit to Write
Since most of you think I enjoy sniping American royalty, I think you're wrong. I don't like it one bit. I love it! I cherish it. I'm enamored with it. I'm elated with it! I worship it! I can't get enough of it! Get the point?
Bill Clinton's Reputation Sinks Fast;
MSNBCnews.com; Mar 7, 2001
Why the old article? Don't ask me. It was on NBC's website. You see, they can't get over their love affair with the worst president in American history. Just why they keep writing and posting and reposting articles on the ex-impeached-president, I'll never know. But as long as they do it, I will keep writing about it. I adore it! I live for it! I . . .
THE SURVEY, conducted March 1-4, shows
that
52 percent of Americans say they have a
"somewhat negative" or "very negative" view of
the former president, while just 34 percent have a
"very positive" or "somewhat positive" view.
Damn! I'd like to see his poll numbers now. Maybe that's why they reposted this. They took some new poll and the numbers were so bad they had to repost the old poll to prop him up.
Both Bill Clinton and his wife, New York Sen.
Hillary Rodham Clinton, recorded their lowest
ratings ever in the history of the NBC-Wall Street
Journal survey, and for the Bill Clinton, the speed
of his fall is unprecedented.
You know me, ever the optimist. We've got a lot to be thankful for. Thank God he's not in office or he'd bomb Europe with that kind of poll data.
His approval rating has dropped so much, in
fact,
it's lower than in September 1998, after he
admitted his affair with Monica Lewinksy, and
independent prosecutor Ken Starr published his
graphic and damning report about the president's
behavior.
Whooooaaaa! Back up a there. Did you say he admitted his affair? I never heard him say that. When you guys going to repost that? I want to hear him admit it the first time!!!
