NEAL OUT
I'm off today playing golf with some friends on some desert courses in
Arizona. I did log on to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this morning to find
that the City of Atlanta has followed DeKalb County's lead and instituted a
total watering ban. No watering. Period. Sooooo .... I thought I would just take
the chance on behalf of Atlanta property owners --- who are going to lose
perhaps millions of dollars worth of landscaping --- to thank the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers for their arrogance and typical government ineptness in
draining Lake Lanier of several months worth of water that could have been used
by the residents of the metro Atlanta area. If you characters had climbed down
off your high horse and listened to the people who live around Lake Lanier it is
very likely this situation wouldn't have developed. Way to go. Just leave it to
government.
And now, some Nuze from the staff.
 FBI NABS 7 ISLAMIC TERRORISTS
 People who regularly work at and visit the Sears tower in Chicago and the FBI
headquarters in Miami can breathe a sigh of relief this morning.
The FBI picked
up seven people, one of whom allegedly had taken an oath to serve Al-Qaeda.
Apparently 1 of the men was arrested some time before yesterday, another was
picked up in Atlanta and the rest in Miami. A warehouse was raided and a
neighborhood cordoned off. Reports are that some of the men had surveyed their
targets and taken photos. A news conference today by the FBI should clean up
most of the facts.
So another terrorist attack has been foiled. Perhaps now those that believe
there is no terrorist threat...that the whole War On Terror is just a
mirage...will reconsider their positions. By most accounts, these 7 men were
radical Muslims...a sort of Al-Qaeda cell in waiting. Just what exactly were
they planning on doing to the Sears Tower? Blow it up? Fly airplanes into it?
I'm sure it wouldn't have been pretty.
This just proves one thing...that there continue to be people out there that
want to kill as many Americans as possible. After all, that is the stated goal
of Al-Qaeda and they're never going to stop. They killed 3,000 people on 9/11
and are going to be looking for a bigger score. Think something like that
couldn't happen in your neck of the woods? When was the last time you went to a
large sporting event? As big public shopping mall?
The terrorist threat in this country is real...and it's not a question of if
they will attack, but when. It's nice to know at least these 7 have been taken
off the street.
MORE GOOD NEWS FROM IRAQ
There's more good news from Iraq today. It's not even been two weeks since a
U.S. military jet dropped two 500-pound bombs on Zarqawi's head and sent him to
his desert sand nap, and already
somebody else has been captured. We don't have
a name, but reports are that a senior Al-Qaeda cell leader in Iraq has been
captured. One more down, many more to go.
It would seem that the tide is turning in Iraq....as we continue to crush the
insurgency. But don't expect the Democrats to jump on board just yet. We could
capture the entire Al-Qaeda cell in Iraq, and that wouldn't be good enough.
John Murtha and Nancy Pelosi would immediately go on 'Meet The Press' and
announce that the insurgency was going to come back stronger. Because remember,
it is the Democratic Party in the United States that is rooting for the failure
of America in Iraq. Their political lives depend on it.
Once the war ends and the troops start coming home, the left will keep
harping. They'll wonder aloud whether or not it was worth it. They'll
blame Bush for not pulling the troops out sooner. But the good news is the
American people are wising up to their game. While they may not be pleased
with how the war was handled, the public does not support cutting and running
and they most certainly do support the troops.
EARTH HOTTEST IT'S BEEN IN 2,000 YEARS
 The headlines are screaming today that thanks to global warming, the
Earth is
now hotter than it's been in 2,000 years! Boy, we've really screwed up the
planet, haven't we? It's now supposedly warmer than it was when Jesus was
hanging around. According to something called "The National Academy of
Sciences," using climate data for the last 200 years they have decided that
humans are responsible for making the Earth hotter than it's been in the last
2,000 years.
That's right...the temperature data barely goes back 200 years...and now they
know how hot the Earth was 2,000 years ago? That's strike one. Supposedly they
used data gathered from tree rings, lake sediments and so forth to determine how
hot it was all that time ago. But that is an educated guess and not fact. And
by the way, buried at the end of the news story is a fact the global warming
fanatics don't want you to know.
The overall temperature of the Northern Hemisphere only rose 1 degree in the
20th century. 1 degree! That's some global warming.
REDNECK SCRAP BOOK
I guess that's one way to
get your car washed... More in the Redneck Scrap Book.
READING ASSIGNMENTS
Saddam Hussein has ended his hunger strike...after skipping just a single meal.
That's not much of a hunger strike...sort of reminds you of some of Jesse
Jackson's hunger strikes. Maybe there was no hunger strike at all...perhaps it
was just leftovers day.
Katie Couric, who is scheduled to take over the CBS Evening News anchor chair
this fall,
is going on a national tour to find out what people want on their evening
newscast. Here's a start: no political bias, no cooking segments and
definitely no perkiness. Now get to work.
The Bush Administration was unsuccessful at stopping media stories about a
government program that tracks global financial transfers.
The New York Times and the L.A. Times both turned down the government's request
to withhold their reports. An interesting debate...where does the public's
right to know begin and end?
John Kerry's proposal to pull all of the troops out of Iraq was opposed in
2003...by The Poodle himself. sKerry criticized the very strategy he is now
supporting while on the campaign trail. Sort of like voting for the war before
he voted against it.
John Bolton, the no-nonsense US ambassador to the UN, says Iran and North Korea
face a choice. They can either come to the table and talk about their
nuclear programs, or face the consequences. Outstanding...perhaps Mr. Bolton
would like to run for president in a couple years.
Ann Coulter went on Neil Cavuto's show yesterday on Fox News and said the
Democrats should win this fall. She says this should be their 1994....they
ought to pick up enough seats in both houses of Congress and take back control.
If they don't win, Coulter says they may as well throw in the towel and rename
the party.
Senior Bush administration officials have announced for the first time that
they will shoot down any missile launch by North Korea that might threaten the
United States. Now how about going just a step further and blowing up their
entire military infrastructure?
Charles Krauthammer declares his love for Australia in today's column. He
explains it's because Australians don't hold back....they let the fur fly,
saying exactly what is on their mind.
Professor Mike Adams takes on the administration at the University of North
Carolina today and wonders if they're up to their old tricks again. In
fact, he's publicly accusing them of lying.
Mona Charen takes a look back at the Democrats who voted to authorize military
action against Iraq 4 years ago. Did you know that 81 Democrats in the
House alone voted for it? That's a lot.
Neal talked about this and now you can watch it. See News/Talk 750 WSB's
