Actually a caller asked RUSH about him the other day.

RUSH basically said he could never know what Buckly is thinking, but RUSH feels he may be(coming) more of a paleo-conservative like Buchanon and was only 'for Iraq' if it was going to be quick and easy, otherwise he was more of a 'play defense' isolationist.

Good post and comments

Of course we know the usual suspects, but we will be surprised at the others who get swept up by these inquiries? Perhaps not.

Ya know what .. I don't think I will be surprised

And I don't care what party they are from

If they are leaking and putting our country in danger???

Then throw the book at them

I don't think playing political games with our lives is funny

There are those who claim to be Reagan Republicans

And my advice to them is .. Start acting like one then

[freema]

Ethnic cleansing are words that are so inspiring to America. NOT. And the Right's response was............

[cajungirl]

We are on the same page with your post.

[Bahbah]

Weasley: "We are on the edge of the abbess in Iraq." I think he meant the abyss. LOL.

[snugs]

The thanks is mine :0)

I admired Rush for his comments about Buckley. He didn't blindly follow his position but stated why he disagreed.

Very classy of Rush.

Except for Friday, Rush was outstanding this week. And I thoroughly enjoyed Roger too.

[OldFriend]

Just heard a soundclip of Barney Frank......I simply channel surf and catch the most amazing egregious lies and slander coming from the left. And sometimes from the right. Pathetic, isn't it.

BTTT

I was saying this all week to other FReepers who were saying things like "Why even take a chance with arabs renting a terminal".

I said, why are you so quick to make enemies out of every arab nation. To tell them it is USELESS to even try to ally with us because you are screwed anyway because you are "a-rab".

I asked, "Don't you think that is MORE dangerous to National security?" and they acted like it was some stupid question. They asked "who is saying we want to make them all our enemies?" and "if you can't quote it, then its just your spin".

It will be VERY sad if we make a few more MILLION enemies just because some people can't get over their personal issues with "a-rabs" or "Muslims" and would ignore every other aspect of the UAE history, the security checks it has already gone through, or various "pros/cons"... blinded to everythig else, just because of some (sometimes understandable, and hopefully temporary) psychological dysfunction.

[Mo1]

The whole 'review of all terminals' was just an excuse to kill THIS deal, and that much was transparent to me. I guess it could kill any 'arab deal', but who knows.

I don't think it's because of an arab deal

Something else is up and pushing this reaction from the Hill and I don't think it has anything to do with national security

I just can't pin point it though

[Bahbah]

It will be VERY sad if we make a few more MILLION enemies just because some people can't get over their personal issues with "a-rabs" or "Muslims

And how amazing is it that it is by and large dems who have come out screaming about this.

[Mo1]

On ABC, Jack Murtha just called General Peter Pace a liar.

Keep talking Murtha .. you are sinking your party

[snugs]

Do you think there is another take over of a US company/operation in the wind?

Or is it something to do more with just politics?

I think you may well be right with your thinking that there is more behind this than we are seeing.

[snugs]

Just shows how hypocritical they are.

[bray]

President Bush never fires until he sees the reds of their beedy little eyes! There is no sense in entering the fray 24/7 like the rats do. What has it ever won them? Low phony poll numbers, big deal November is all that matters!

Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters

[Morgan in Denver]

My rational side knows you're right. My emotional side wants to fight back more often and more effectively.

[samantha]

You are right, the Old MSM has been in this blame Bush mode for so long they cannot help themselves. They are like Alcoholics that just need another drink. In this case they need another blame Bush moment. They are so over the top and ludicrous in their accusations and blame, you wonder when they are going to blame their "septic tank problem,their dog peed on the carpet, or their wife/husband cheating on them on Bush. They make the very extreme,loony tune, really radical Conservatives that blamed Clinton for everything look really normal. AGHHHH! Clinton certainly did enough bad things,more than 5 other Presidents,but not the level that was pushed by the radicals. After a while the Public realized it was overkill and unfair even to a sleazeball like him and they began feeling sorry for him and his ratings improved and I think that is what the Juan (crash Dummie) Williams point really is. That is Juan's fear because his Mom even likes GWB. George Bush is a very decent,nice, like-able Guy and all this piling on will come back to haunt all that have done it, including those ^%$%#@$$((*&^% Pubbies that will be begging him for his support down the Road.

Or is it something to do more with just politics?

I'm leaning toward politics and back rooms dealings

Democrats don't give a hoot about national security .. for if they did .. they wouldn't be running to the NYT and WP with all their leaks

[Morgan in Denver]

Agreed. The FNS round table is on now here too. Once again, Brit Hume is a sole voice of reason and understanding.

BTW, for what it's worth, Michael Brown came across on FNS as credible to me.
