 DID JUST A FEW OF YOU WAKE UP THIS MORNING?
 Oh sure .. you woke up, or you wouldn't be reading this. But did you WAKE UP?
While you were sleeping British intelligence agents were thwarting another terrorist attack. This one would have been a biggie. Twenty-one people, all Muslims, apparently all Arabs, are in custody. Officials say their plot has a strong Al-Qaeda connection. What plot? Glad you asked. They were going to blow up several airplanes flying from England to the U.S. The The attack was going to be on several airplanes flying from Britain to the United States. The airlines to be attacked were Continental, American and United. They were going to blow them all up, killing hundreds of passengers on board. A police official in the UK said the plan was "intended to be mass murder on an unimaginable scale." It is fabulous news that this plan was thwarted and no one was hurt. So now that there has been such a public foiling of another terror attack, will this convince the appeasers who don't believe in the War On Radical Islam? It should. Too many people have become complacent since 9/11. Today is your reminder. Right now, there are people in the world that want to kill you. These people are fanatics. They're fanatics of the worse kind .... religious fanatics. They're intelligent. They have money. They have resources. They're determined. They don't care if they die ... and they're very very patient. Their goal is to bring the entire world under Islamic law ... or do die trying. Either way they believe they will receive the reward of eternal paradise. How do you fight an enemy like that? They will never stop trying to kill us. We say negotiations, they hear appeasement. We say peace plan, they hear surrender. We say peaceful coexistence, they plot to grow their numbers and their strength while we're wallowing in our own political correctness. There is only one way to address radical Islam, and that is to completely and absolutely destroy it. We seek the Islamofascists throughout the world. We locate them, and then we destroy them. This global war on radical Islam is a fight for our Western civilization and culture. It's a fight for our very way of life. While we all celebrate the thwarting of another Islamic terrorist attack, the Islamofascists merely shrug this temporary setback off and head back to the old drawing board. The next terrorist attack on the west is being planned as you read or listen to these words. In fact ... there might even be an urgency on the part of the Islamic radicals to pull off a terrorist attack as quickly as possible ... just to show the Muslim world that they are still viable ... still strong ... still capable of delivering death. A few minutes of patting ourselves on the back is fine. Today's foiled terrorist attack proves that very point. Whether it's deposing a terror-friendly regime in Iraq, or cleaning out Hezbollah from Lebanon, we have to prevail. Perhaps the events of this morning will convince more people. AND WHAT ABOUT AUGUST 22ND? Here's a link to an article by Robert Spencer which was written last month. The title of the article is "Iran's Day of Terror?" Spenser is just one of many experts on Islam who believe that Iran might well be planning a massive terrorist attack by August 22nd, and possibly overnight on August 21. This particular night is known as the Night of the Sira'a and Miira'aj to Muslims. It's supposed to be the night Mohammed ascended to heaven. The Night of the Sira'a about 11 days away. Spenser writes of one Farid Ghadry, the president of the Reform Part of Syria. Ghadry believes that Iranian president Ahmadinejad is promising to illuminate the night sky over Jerusalem on that evening. Well ... a group of airliners exploding en route to America would certainly light up the sky, wouldn't it? Just a thought. DON'T FLY COMMERCIAL TODAY UNLESS YOU HAVE TO  Overreaction?
Possibly ... but today will be a miserable day to fly commercial in the United States. You cannot take any liquids, gels or lotions onto airplanes in your pockets or your carryon luggage. You also can't take any remote controls. Remote controls? You're probably thinking "who carries a remote control with them when they fly?" Look at your car keys. See that little goody that opens your car doors at the push of a button? That's a remote control. If it isn't in your checked luggage, it's not going with you. Have a nice trip! IRAN PRESIDENT TALKS TO WALLACE Former '60 Minutes' correspondent Mike Wallace sat down in Tehran this week for an interview with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The interview, parts of which will air on the 'CBS Evening News' tonight, will be broadcast in its entirety on '60 Minutes' this Sunday. So what did the Iranian weird-beard have to say? About what you would expect. He complained about the Bush Administration, saying "see how they talk down to my nation." I wonder if Wallace asked about Iran's backing of Hezbollah or the recent revelation that the Hezbollah fighters that kidnapped Israeli soldiers had trained in Iran. I suppose we'll have to wait and see on that one. But when asked what he thought of Ahmadinejad, the always-liberal Wallace couldn't wait to gush about the terrorist. "He's an impressive fellow, this guy. He really is. He's obviously smart as hell," said Mike Wallace. Then he went even further: "You'll find him an interesting man. I expected more of a firebrand. I don't think he has the slightest doubt about how he feels about the American administration and the Zionist state. He comes across as more rational than I had expected." Well isn't that special! ANALYZING THE LIEBERMAN DEFEAT Pundits are lining up to try and figure out what the defeat of incumbent Senator Joe Lieberman in the Connecticut primary means. Is this a true indication of the national mood? Is everyone who has ever supported the war headed for defeat this fall? Does Lieberman have a prayer of keeping his seat running as an Independent? Well, let's take a look at these questions and more. As for whether or not this is some sort of national trend...probably not. Connecticut has a tradition of being very unpredictable as far as elections go. Remember, Lieberman also irritated the leftists in Connecticut with his feelings on such things as affirmative action and vouchers. Does this mean the GOP is in trouble this fall? Well, yeah! But we already knew that, didn't we? This was an incumbent Democrat being defeated by an anti-war Democrat. This doesn't really make things any worse for Republicans ... things are already tough enough. Hillary Clinton voted to invade Iraq...and hasn't exactly come out as hard against the war as some of her colleagues would like. She faces her own version of Ned Lamont this fall...an anti-war Democratic challenger of her own. So really, the defeat of Joe Lieberman may cause more problems for Democrats than Republicans. But can Joe win? Absolutely. It turns out the Republican candidate for Senate in Connecticut (yes, there is one) is pretty weak...and a lot of Republicans are expected to go Lieberman's way. It's an interesting race to watch, but people shouldn't read too much into it. LARRY KING LIVE  What fun! In case you missed it, the producers at Larry King Live thought that it would be a nifty idea to put me and Air America's Randi Rhodes on the air together [transcript | video] to discuss the situation between Israel and Hezbollah. Ms. Rhodes, unable to carry her point of view forward in any logical manner, resorted to the usual: "You said so-and-so about all Muslims and you called Muhammad a so-and-so!" I challenged her to prove her assertions ... and those who listen to her show can see what she comes up with today. I, on the other hand, saw no use in reminding Ms. Rhodes that she once called for the assassination of George Bush on her radio show. Ms. Rhodes finally came forward with the brilliant idea of treating terrorism as a "law enforcement problem." Nuff said. Newsbusters watched and dissected the exchange for you.
Anyway ... I thought you might like to read just a smidgen of the email I received after the show! Web Guy didn't have time to go through it all, so maybe I'll have some goodies to share with you on the air today. So ... here we go into the wonderful world of email! - People like you do love to spread hate, start wars and cause the death of the innocent, but it's how you make your money. Low lives like you would do anything for a dollar, but you already know this and you already know that you're a lowest of the low lives.
- Hi Neal, I enjoyed watching the Randi Rhoads Show tonight - you know, the one with you and Larry King as guests.
- I saw your debate with Randi Rhodes on Larry King. She's going to need an ambulance stat. You sliced her into shreds. Enjoyed every minute of it.
- I caught you on "LARRY KING LIVE" last night. Good job on your part. Randi Rhodes however?? I think that I am a pretty bright guy, but I could not find the slightest bit of reason in any argument she made. The phrase "USEFUL IDIOT" kept superimposing itself over her caterwauling.
- I nearly lost it when, after failing to make a point or to show you in error, she fell back into that clichéd Liberal fallback position of personal attack. "I've just shown myself to be a fool, but you said something mean about Arabs." As my sainted Baptist Grandmother would say..."OY VEY."
- It is 9:40 Wednesday night and I have just finished watching you debate with that kook Randy on Larry King Live. It was hilarious to see you make her out to be the nincompoop that she is. You were as enlightening as I thought you would be. I am an everyday listener to your show and will continue to be as long as you remain on the air. So great job and I'll be hearing you tomorrow!
- Unequivocally, i think that you are one of the most vile and evil human beings on the planet. although i don't wish evil on anyone, i would not care one bit if you died a painful, protracted and agonizing death. you are a sick twisted hateful person.
- I saw you for the first time tonight on Larry King. I have never listened to you before, but your looks tell me you are an evil person. I have always believed that the eyes are the "windows to the soul" and what I see through those "windows" is dark, mean, evil, angry, and a tremendous amount of hatred. It is not I that hates you; YOU are the hater of mankind. I read the headlines of some of your past shows and listened to most of one. It is hard for me to comprehend that anyone can have such hatred within him. It is quite obvious that you would support the neo-cons. Someday you will have to answer for your nastiness, and it won't be to anyone here on earth. A Greater Power than you or I will be the judge. If you don't believe that, then you don't believe in the Bible.
- You are incredible. You made Ms Rhodes look like an absolute idiot. You let her spew her garbage and Let Larry be the demon by stopping her. Then you diminished her comments with pure common sense. You have a real since for importance of the letting these extremist babble their crap. Nice job. I just wanted you to know how your appearance on CNN played. Ms Rhodes looked like an idiot and you looked like a good alternative. Far Tax!!!! Common sense!!!! Your my man. Run for president in 08. You do have a chance. I don't care what is out there. Do it for us.
god bless randi rhodes.
- I think you should leave USA because you and people like you doing harm to this great country. Plus you are a aboused child put your head in a toilet and kill your self mother f****r.
- I listened to your interview on Larry King tonight from Vancouver, Canada. I have to convey that I was impressed by the clear understanding you have of the mechanisms of terrorism and how you communicated it. You were absolutely correct when you stated that a peace agreement with these terrorists, which would only be achieved through significant compromise from Israel and the rest of the civilized world, would undoubtedly be perceived as a sign of weakness from the Western world. I believe that anyone who fails to realize this is making a considerable mistake which will reveal fatal in a not so distant future. I am a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and can assure you that we, here, have a significant number of "dormant" terrorist Hezbollah cells who are just waiting for the opportune time to terrorize us and our neighbors. Unfortunately, a large number of Canadians, perhaps due to ignorance, are promptly and wrongfully sympathetic to the Hezbollah cause.
- Neil, too bad your debating opponent wasn't someone who wasn't more willing to hear your point of view. I hope Larry King invites you back so that we may hear more from you. Best wishes, Allan Waxman, Toronto
REDNECK SCRAP BOOK We're starting to assemble quite the assortment of redneck mailboxes. Here's the latest. More in the Redneck Scrap Book. READING ASSIGNMENTS
Fresh off his primary loss, Hillary Clinton has thrown Joe Lieberman under the bus. She says she'll back his challenger, Ned Lamont. But Hillary has her own problem. She's being challenged by an anti-war Democrat in New York.
There's more evidence that the so-called Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon are actually soldiers that were trained in Iran. In fact, bodies of Iranian Revolutionary Guards have been found among the dead.
A new survey is out in which Americans rate news personalities. At the top: Diane Sawyer. At the bottom? Star Jones. But you may be surprised where your favorite news reporter or anchor rated.
The International Herald Tribune has pulled a cartoon featuring Ann Coulter...in a burqa. For those that don't know, that's the outfit women in Islamic countries wear that covers them from head to toe. Some people don't have a sense of humor.
Columnist Jed Babbin writes in an open letter to RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman that it's time they recognize their real enemy and it isn't necessarily the Democratic party. It's the mainstream media, with all of their slanted news coverage and outright propaganda.
Robert Novak points out that Hillary Clinton's confrontation with Donald Rumsfeld last week was calculated down to the last sentence to serve a single purpose. And that is to distance herself from the war in Iraq and appear to be more anti-war to her base.
Pat Buchanan takes a look at Joe Lieberman's defeat in Connecticut and wonders what it all means. He also says Lieberman will be under extreme pressure from his own party to bow out.
In its coverage of the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict, the mainstream media continues to do the work of Hezbollah and take their side. Victor Davis Hanson says the real problem in this war is the west and their perception of Israel.
In his second column on the subject, Thomas Sowell looks at many so-called studies and what they report. Not surprisingly, many of these studies are useless and serve no purpose, other than to further a particular point of view by the person conducting the study.
Ever wonder what it is about Israel and Jewish people that the Islamic world despises so much? Michael Medved attempts to answer that question. An interesting column for those who may wonder what all the fuss is about. Sorry, Muslim martyr, that was 72 white grapes, not virgins. Disappointed? |
