I keep wondering when the public is going to wake up to what the dems are really doing ..?? It's seem hopeless!
Bump for later read.
A few comments:
I'm not sure if we can trust info from Gary Sick. He was the main conduit of a lot of the conspiracy-theorizing regarding Pres. Bush 41's role in "Iran-contra," which was never proved or even seemed very plausible.
McGovern's position is a good summary of the left's perspective. The left has developed a "vendetta" mentality, in which they fantasize about their enemies (conservatives) confessing to all manner of horrible things. Sort of like Stalinist show trials. Or the trials describe in Orwell's 1984, in which the people who rebel against Big Brother are forced to publicly confess to such crimes as deliberately spreading venereal disease.
This leads the left into a sort of passivism (which they mis-represent as pacifism, which it is not), an attitude that nothing can be improved, that anything anyone tries to make a bad situation better (Iraq), will only make it worse. They themselves are afraid to try any sort of helpful action (i.e. anything beyond empty criticism), because then they would be responsible for consequences, which they can't bear to contemplate. Navel-gazing and random criticism of others is so much more safe and self-pleasing.
It's ironic, but this strain of the denial of the possibility for human progress of any kind, any improvement in the human condition anywhere, is now called the "progressive" position.
It also tells you what the left is afraid of. They are pulling out all the stops to ensure America and Iraq will fail together, because they are terrified that America might actually succeed in helping Iraq become a decent country.
If Iraq does become a decent country, with America's help, that will validate in spades everything Pres. Bush and the people who the left disparage as "neocons" have stood for: An active American presence in the world, which is able and willing to effect change for the better in totalitarian hellholes that need it very badly.
That would be the worst diaster imaginable for the left. It would even be worse for them than the collapse of the USSR was.
The possibility of actual progress, real progress, an increase in human decency in a place where suffering and horror, routine inhumanity, had been the norm, scares the left because it would show that their agenda of human stagnation and decline is not inevitable. And for conservatives, the most moronic of the knuckle-dragging stupid, the most ape-like examples of humanity, to be able to actually do this, when the ivory-tower leftists progressively insist that such progress is utterly impossible, would shatter their world-view and possibly shatter their identities as "progressives" and leftists. And they know it.
The horror of this prospect is what is motivating the left to its frenzy of anti-war action.
They know they're standing on the edge of the abyss, and American success in Iraq is all it will take to make the ground they're standing on start to crumble.
Thanks for the ping!
I heard D'Souza on National Puppet Radio over the weekend saying the STUPIDEST things about Vietnam, apparently for the sake of promoting his new book. He bought into the idea that the Communists, even after the Tet offensive, were indigenous patriots, instead of foreign invaders from the North; that the South Vietnamese people's desire to get rid of their brutal government was the reason the war happened to begin with (rather than a Soviet-organized invasion); that bombing the North didn't do any good; that the war was unwinnable by us as a military conflict. And so on. The entire Communist propaganda line from back then—unchanged by the revelations from the Communists themselves since that time, showing every one of these statements to be false.
If I hadn't been so bored, I would have been disgusted.
Wahabbism must be destroyed.
Totally.
...Along with Sunni, Shi'ia, sufism, whatever...and every other faction of this pan-islamist nightmare, no matter from which branch of this unholy stench it emanates.
Either subjugated, or likewise destroyed. There is no other possibility or hope for the Judeo-Christian ethic, which, YES, is superior.
Carter's failure, as former Democratic senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan once said, was the result of being “unable to distinguish between America’s friends and enemies.”
According to Moynihan, the Carter administration had essentially adopted “the enemy’s view of the world.” Carter does not deserve sole discredit for these actions. This intellectual framework that shaped Carter’s misguided strategy was supplied by the political left.<<<
And now we are back in the same spot, with Carter type leading in Congress and pushing his agenda.
You are right, it is a good article.
Ping to another must read article.
Many years ago, I saw a poster that read, "Thinking is hard work."
Most of the Liberals, Democrats and Hollyweirdos I know are either too lazy or too busy to take the time or make the effort to think. And for those who do think, (a true minority), the reasoned outcome of thought simply points out how wrong they have always been. Even conservatives don't like to admit to having been wrong.
High volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel, WOT

How could lib politicos be so naive and stupid? Answer: They aren't!
America's evil twin is trying to kill us!
The reason we lost Iraq = The new Iraq Constitution reads:
NO LAW SHALL CON TRA DICT I S L A M.
Brit polls:
"Today, more than one in eight of their children support Al Qaeda. Almost four in ten would prefer to live under Sharia law. More than a third believe death should be the punishment for converting to another religion.
>>>A sobering 74 per cent want women to wear the veil.<<<
Obviously, the momentum is with radical, politicised Islam. And why?
Clearly, Iraq is a factor. And Ministers have questions to answer for so long tolerating the Islamist apostles of hate.
But the lead author of this report, Munira Mirza, delivers a damning verdict on where the real blame lies. 'The rise of multiculturalism, with its stress on "difference" and the downgrading of Britishnesss has led many younger Muslims to see themselves as separate from society,' she says. "

A good read and thank you for the ping.
One of many with the same result.
