Didn't he almost start world war 3 with the Russians in Bosnia over an airport?

I think that was Gen. Clark, (who also wanted to be our president.)

Once again I must commend you on your excellent preview thread. There is a wealth of information here, and I am always happy to know the line-ups ahead of time.

One undercurrent I saw beginning to bubble up last week is people sowing the seeds of doubt about Condi Rice. Tammy Bruce (of all people) started this muttering on Fox. I think this has more to do with trying to negate her as a potential presidential candidate than anything else, but I will be interested to see if there is any further stuff along this vein.

I suspect this comes from people who are allying themselves with either McCain or Gingrich, but time will tell.

Thank you very much for the post, Phsstpok. I am saved from having to listen to Alex Witt interviewing a "psychic" regarding the JonBenet case. Not to be believed. Now to read through your excellent material.

You're right.  I was thinking of Weaselly when I made that comment.  I have to go back and reread the articles on McCaffrey to see if I did him a disservice in my analysis.

Meema has pointed out that I was thinking of Wesley Clark when I made comments about General Barry McCaffrey. I withdraw the suggestion that he will be Bush bashing (he may, but the stuff I've linked to about him doesn't back that up). I also withdraw the comments about General Barry McCaffrey in the analysis and offer him an apology.

I will remove those comments from the blog version of this weeks posts

It will be interesting to see if the love affair between MCCain and the LW/DBM is still in effect or if the DNC has told the MSM to cancel it for the upcoming elections.

I can't wait to see the MSM/DBM try and demagogue Condi. That will be fun to see them all go home with spike marks on their foreheads.

John F. Kerry (he's running for President, you know)

John F Kerry served in Vietnam -- he has the hat and everything to prove it.

The main themes are the Democrat's newest campaign idea (number 98) of trying to convince everyone that George W. Bush has made the world less stable and that we are therefore more in more danger, not less.

To paraphrse--

Bush lied, people died, Hallburton (he blew up the levees too)

Troops aren't trained, Officers are incompetant, sh*& don't work. (Bush's fault, fire Rummy)

All you need to know

As Election Day approaches, each party is accusing the other of being soft on terror

Can anyone tell me how Democrats think they are going to sell this idea? I hear people like Harry Reid running around screaming, in the aftermath of the Carter Appointee Judges freak out about the NSA probram, that the President has agenda has "made the American People less safe". Umm where Democrats are on the record as opposing everything from the Patriot Act to Gitmo to the NSA program how do they expect to sell this. Their PR machine is usually way smarter then this. Completely in contempt of anything approaching intellectual honesty, but glib and clever. I just cannot get my head around how they thing this is going to sell?

McCaferty can blow hot or cold. He can out Clark Clark at times. I guess we will have to see which one shows up.
