PRESS TRUST OF INDIA ^ | 12/14/03

I hope so cause the American Media so far isn't touching this....

All over talk radio, though....

Or, as I said in a mass e-mailing to virtually everone I know:

"Anyone that can comprehend the significance of this find and still maintain that "there is no link between Iraq and Al Queda" or that "there is no proof that Iraq was involved in 9-11" has a head so far rectally inserted as to be capable of ... voting for Howard Dean."

Thats great news

Eva, no matter how authentic, no matter what the provenance of the document, no matter tests are performed, or handwriting analysis, or analysis of the paper, the ink, and all the rest, no matter even if the Las Vegas crime lab goes over it and pronounces it authentic on CSI, Noam Chomsky and George Galloway will never believe it.

As far as I'm concerned I'm already OK with it. It's already been authenticated sufficiently for me when Ayad Allawi says that the document is authentic.

Here's an older story that links the former Iraqi government to the Abu Sayyaf terrorist group in the Philippines:

But don't you realize, there's no connection between Iraq and 9/11? /sarcasm.

The Dems look like they are on an accelerating train headed for a thick brick wall.

Their instincts are 180 degrees out of phase with their best interests.

I'm astounded by how far some will go out on a limb to express their contempt for Bush when I read it in minor web discussions. But then I see the same stuff coming out of the mouth of their lead candidate.

The rationale for this war is not difficult to comprehend or even genuinely controversial compared to recent US actions. Add in 9/11......

The left is utterly unable to comprehend, to mentally step out of their shoes and see things from another perspective. When that train hits the wall there's a little part of me that's afraid of what their desperation would entail. Not in terms of being unable to combat it, but what that combat will mean to the Republic.

[El Gato]

A great result would be for the current Dem slate to hang their heads in shame and withdraw, opening the door for HC to enter the race in haste and fury.

And then making George McGovern and Michael Dukakis look like viable Presidential candidates. :)

[El Gato]

The Dems look like they are on an accelerating train headed for a thick brick wall.

More like steel reinforced concrete, I'd say. Of course we won't be able to call them on it by getting together and buying some TV time, when one of the 9 dwarfs or BroomHillary start pulling out the "No Connection" stuff come about September 2nd. The Supreme Court says we can't.

Great news, I was not questioning the veracity, only hoping for the proof.

[oprahstheantichrist]

"Atta, who was trained by Palestinian terrorist Abu Nidal,..."

Wasn't Abu Nidal the guy that Ollie North named as the reason his house was security wired back in the eighties? Remember right after 9-11, when the internet rumor mill credited him with naming Osama years in advance, when in fact it was Abu Nidal? Anyone else remember that?

Perhaps he was right after all....

[John Valentine]

The memo IS the proof.

Let's put it this way: If I were on a jury at a murder trial, on this evidence, I'd vote to convict.

[Sonny M]

Wasn't Abu Nidal the guy that Ollie North named as the reason his house was security wired back in the eighties?

As a matter of fact, you are correct. If you go to snopes.com, they list the urban legend about North and Bin Laden, and also give the real version, which was North speaking about......Abu Nidal.

Based on the history of the left wing in this country, and based on the numerious statements made on left wing websites I have a bad feeling I know how they will react next year after election day. If we are lucky, they will just be demoralized and quit and leave america alone.

That is not likely, I fear that alot of lefty's will go off the deep end, and make accusations that the elections were rigged, thus giving themselves rationalization to commit acts of terror against people, in the misguided belief that they are actually quite popular. Some of these people are showing signs of mental illness, and I think next years election is going to make them go over the edge and start doing alot of rash things.

And thanks to the idiotic Supreme Court decision on the "campaign finance reform' law we can't buy televison air time to counter the networks' passivity on the issue.
