BUT WHATEVER WE DO ... LET'S NOT TELL FOLKS WHO'S BEHIND ALL THIS
It was the 11th night of rioting and attacks in and around Paris last night. Turn on almost any broadcast or cable newscast and you'll hear all about it. Thousands of busses and cars have been burned. Police are being shot at. Paramedics are being attacked. By who? By "youths." That's pretty much it. All of this trouble is being caused by "youths." Now that we've reached the 11th night of this violence, you will hear the occasional newscaster actually say the "M" word. Every once in a while ... but very sparingly ... someone will breach the walls of political correctness and actually let you know that these "youths" are Muslims. French police have discovered a bomb-making factory in Paris. These rioters are chanting "It's Baghdad here." France, the leader of the Axis of Weasels, is under attack. Paris, home to those who condemned America for removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, is under siege -- by Muslim jihadists -- by the very people France tried so hard to protect and appease. It's not just France. These wonderful peace-loving Muslims are attacking cruise ships off the African coast. Oh .. you didn't know they were Muslims? What a surprise! We heard all weekend long that "pirates" attacked a cruise ship chock full of Americans off the coast of Somalia last week. Funny how the media didn't identify Somalia as a Muslim stronghold, and report that the so-called pirates were almost certainly Muslims. Then we have the Muslims who cut the heads off three Christian school girls in Indonesia within the last few weeks. France, in case you didn't know, is home to Europe's largest Muslim community. Sixty million French, and about 10% of them are Muslims. For the past five years these Muslims in France have been confining their attacks to synagogues, Jewish schools and other symbols of Judaism. Officials didn't seem to get all that worked up over the attacks as long as Jews and Jewish institutions were the target. Now the attacks have spread beyond Jewish targets. How many cities are under attack in France now? Sixty? It's not just France. Mark Steyn writes in the Chicago Sun-Times that in Brussels Belgian police officers are advised not to be seen drinking coffee in public during Ramadan. In some Swedish cities ambulance drivers will not go into Muslim areas without police escorts. This isn't the first time that France has been under attack by Muslims. It happened before. It happened in 732. The French (amazingly) turned them back. If they hadn't, the entire history of the Western world might be very much different today. If you want the details, Read Steyn's column.. America too. Since September 11th the list of Muslims arrested in America for plotting terrorist activities is much longer than 99% of Americans realize. Do you see what's happening here? Radical Islamists are emboldened. They're encouraged. They're attacking France right now and Weasel-in-Chief Jacques Chirac is talking about a "spirit of dialogue and respect." Respect? Respect hell! These Islamic radicals are determined to remake Europe to their liking, an Islamic state. They're encouraged. How could they not be? Every time they cut off some more heads from the torsos of Christian school girls, every time they shoot a child in the back, every time they attack a nursery in Paris, or kill a school teacher in Baghdad; every time the step up their violence against the West the leaders of the countries they hate start talking about the spirit of dialogue and respect. In Paris officials are already talking about more money, more jobs, more programs, more handouts to appease the rampaging Muslims. In America? We can't even manage to get a common sense immigration policy that would severely restrict (if not eliminate) any and all immigration and visitors from Islamic countries. They've openly expressed their hatred of us, and their desire to see as many of us dead as possible ... and we do next-to-nothing to keep them out of our country. Profiling? Good God no! We can't profile. We can't treat anyone of Middle Eastern appearance at an airport security checkpoint any different than we would treat an 89-year-old woman in a wheelchair. Multiculturalism? We have to keep that fraud alive too! We can't even suggest that the Judeo-Christian culture of America is in any way superior to the culture of violence that permeates the Muslim countries of the Middle East and the Pacific Rim. At some point we're going to realize that we're slap in the middle of World War IV here, the war against the Islamic Jihad. Perhaps we will come to that realization before winning that battle will be too bloody to imagine. EVERYBODY KNOWS .......
Well, there he was; CNN's intrepid correspondent Dick Uliano reporting on the intelligence that George Bush used to justify his removal of Saddam Hussein from power. Uliano was talking about WMDs. No less than two times during his bit he said "Everybody knows the intelligence was wrong." What intelligence? The intelligence reports that Saddam Hussein had WMDs. At one point in the report Uliano said that the intelligence was " ... simply wrong. The weapons did not exist."
Everybody knows? How in the hell does Uliano know what "everybody knows?" This is journalism? Here's a column you need to read from Jack Kelly of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Read the column and you will discover that the 4th Infantry Division discovered in an ammo dump in Iraq 55 gallon drums of chemicals which, when mixed together, formed nerve gas. Nerve gas, in case Dick Uliano doesn't know it, is a weapon of mass destruction. Perhaps Uliano feels that this wasn't a WMD find because the chemicals weren't mixed together yet. How long does that take? Two minutes? These chemicals were stored next to some missiles that were configured to carry liquids. Do the math. There's more, of course. Uranium was also found in Iraq. And yes, some of that uranium was enriched. Enriched, you're on the way to an atomic weapon. Not enriched, you have the materials for a dirty bomb. Both are classified as WMDs. The Democrats are pushing the big lie here that there were no WMDs in Iraq, and the media is doing all it can to help the story along. THE POWER OF GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS
Running out of time here ... need to get to the studios to get on the air. But we also have this strange story out of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in California. It seems some parents were not all that pleased with some sex education courses and materials that were being used in their own government schools. (Serves them right.) So ... they filed suit. They lost. The 9th Circuit wrote that "there is no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children.... Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students." So ... aren't you so proud that you are one of those wonderful parents who have turned your children over to the government to be "educated." Now you get some idea as to just how the government views your role in this matter. Congratulations.  Here's Neal injecting himself into the penguin exhibit on his sneak peak tour of the Georgia Aquarium.
PLAME SOURCE REVEALED?
Here's an interesting little tidbit regarding Joe Wilson...the former ambassador and husband of Valerie Plame, the supposedly "outed" CIA "agent" at the center of the special prosecutor's investigation of the Bush administration.
It would seem that Mr. Wilson...who has been so outraged over the leaking of his wife's name....was outing her long before Robert Novak did. The revelation comes in the form of Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely. Vallely says he was in the green room at Fox News with Wilson in 2002 and Wilson told him his wife was a CIA operative. That's a full year before Novak published it. Some secret, huh?
Could that be the reason Fitzgerald didn't charge anyone with outing Plame? It looks like Joe Wilson himself was one of the first people to out his wife. By the way, Wilson has had his lawyer send a nasty letter to Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely denying everything. But why would Vallely lie?
Sounds like Wilson has some explaining to do. Of course, the media will never hold them accountable.
AFRAID TO SHOOT
When we send troops to fight in a war, the idea is that they kill the bad guys and win the war. But there's some disturbing news from the front...and it may be resulting in more Coalition casualties. Those in the Blame-America first crowd are always quick to condemn our troops when terrorists are killed, or when there is some question about whether the deceased is a terrorist. The left is always concerned about the rights of the terrorist first.
All of this has evidently taken a toll on U.S. and British troops, who are increasingly hesitant to shoot for fear of a court martial. According to a story in the London Times, British troops are dealing with World War II levels of battle stress and troop morale has dropped dramatically. As far as the U.S. goes...there is a new policy in place that is particularly outrageous. According to the new rules of engagement, soldiers can't shoot Islamic terrorists unless fired upon. That has to be reassuring to the soldiers on patrol.
If we're going to get rid of the Islamic terrorists in Iraq, we have to kill them all. Waiting for them to fire before we send them off to see Allah is a dangerous policy. Nobody ever won a war by being nice.
