LOL!!!! Well, you have a point there......
Dean has refused to appear with Mehlman, I can't wait to see if they are actually on together today. It will be a most interesting first.
I thought dean NEVER went on with any pubbie, just after - to refute all the truth.
Nearly every pundit has said the cease fire shows up as a win for Hizbulla in the 'perception is reality' world.
Hiz managed to hold off the Israeli military.
[When will Western nations learn? Anything less than total defeat of the enemy is considered win in the Islamic world. They consider forcing a foe to a cease-fire or truce as a win.]
There was an excellent article in the Wall Street Journal this week, an interview with Norman Podhoretz, who absolutely skewers Buchanan, Buckley and others who have turned against President Bush. I will try to post a link. I don't think he named names but it was clear who he meant.
Chertoff is very subtle. I'd just love to see Feingold say: "You have to level with the People if we have terrorts here."
And to hear Chertoff respond: "The people KNOW we have terrorist here. They aren't as stupid as you think. Do you think we ask them to be diligent for kicks".
Sorry Johnny but you are waaaay to late. One of the problems I have with McCain is he want to be president so bad he'll say and do anything to try and get it.
Do you know which day? I have a sub. IF it was in the Opinion Journal (or whatever it's called) - I think it's free content.
Well, all those MSMers were shouting that America & Israel are alone, refusing for ceasefire, killing civilians (forget Israeli civilians killed). Now they agree to some sort of it and the same MSM shouting that Israel lost & Hezbolla won. What they want them to do?
I'd love the Podoretz link....thanks, maica.
Clearly the MSM smokes funny stuff and then spews their musings to the sheeple.
Unrepentant Neocon
Norman Podhoretz stands IV-square for the Bush doctrine.

EAST HAMPTON, N.Y.--If Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, then Iraq was lost--according, at least, to the conspiracy-minded--on the pages of Commentary magazine and the other house organs of the neoconservative movement.
---snip---
The point of his voluminous WWIV essays (currently being expanded into a book) is to limn the ways in which George Bush has done precisely that. "The military face of the strategy is pre-emption and the political face is democratization," he says. "The stakes are nothing less than the survival of Western civilization, to the extent that Western civilization still exists, because half of it seems to be committing suicide."
---snip---
Mr. Podhoretz is having none of it. "I always knew they didn't like this policy, the Bush doctrine," he says, speaking of increasingly vocal antagonists like George Will and William F. Buckley. "They had doubts about it going in, and not just because it violates in their view conservative principles but, you know, it's hubris, it's Wilsonianism, it goes beyond the limits of power, it's nation-building, and so on. But for reasons of solidarity or because they were not willing to join with the left or the far reaches of the Buchananite right, they were careful, they voiced their doubts only through hints or veiled asides. So when they came, so to speak, out of the antiwar closet, I certainly was not all that surprised.
"They've declared defeat, basically," he continues. "What can I say? I think they're wrong. I think Iraq has gone not badly but well, is not a disaster or a crime or a delusion, but what's more is a noble, necessary effort."
As we prepare to listen to the two Chairmen of the 9/11 Commission, freeper malia made an astounding find about Thomas Kean. This find alone should have disqualified him from serving on the Commission.
"According to 1998 Senate testimony of former CIA director James Woolsey, powerful financier Khalid bin Mahfouz' younger sister is married to Osama bin Laden,. (US Senate, Senate Judiciary Committee, Federal News Service, 3 Sept. 1998. See also Wayne Madsen, Questionable Ties, In These Times,12 Nov. 2001)
Bin Mahfouz is suspected to have funneled millions of dollars to the Al Qaeda network.(See Tom Flocco, Scoop.co.nz 28 Aug. 2002)
Now, "by sheer coincidence", former New Jersey governor Thomas Kean has business ties with bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudi.
Thomas Kean is a director and shareholder of Amerada Hess
Corporation , which is involved in the Hess-Delta joint venture with Delta Oil of Saudi Arabia (owned by the bin Mahfouz and Al-Amoudiclans).
Now you would think that being a business partner of the brother-in-law and alleged financier of Enemy No. 1 would also be considered a bona fide conflict of interest, particularly when your mandate as part of the 9/11 Commission's work is to investigate Enemy No. 1.
Let the terrorists and their cohorts in the MSM present their own set of fantasy as facts.

The same sentiment was echoed by Dan Henninger on Fox show - Journal Editorial Report.
