I checked the C-span schedule this morning, both one and two, and could find no mention of his speech. That was at 5:30 am CST.

Faced with the quintessential terrorist regime of our time – a regime that both harbors and perpetrates terror on an unimaginable scale – the free world is muddling its principles, losing its nerve, and thereby endangering the successful prosecution of this war. The question many in my country are now asking is this: Will America apply its principles consistently and win this war, or will it selectively abandon those principles and thereby ultimately lose the war?

That is the question of the century.

[Valin]

Now there's shocking news! One might almost think that there's an agenda going on.

BUMP TO THE END OF ISLAM

[Phil V.]

The moral clarity emanated from an ironclad definition of terror and an impregnable moral truth. Terrorism was understood to be the deliberate targeting of civilians in order to achieve political ends. And it was always unjustifiable. With a few powerful words, President Bush said all that needed to be said: ‘Terrorism is never justified.’ . . . With that simple premise and those stirring words your great President breathed new life into the 50 year quest for the realization of "Eretz Yisra’el". The struggle for that Godly goal can now be couched in new terminology - a great and good terminology handed us by your great President Bush.

Prior to the calamity of 9/11 we were stumbling along in our attempts to make the world see that our cause was just and moral. Large segments of the world did not understand that "God gave that land to ME". The rest of the world thought that there was room for debate over the provisions of that Divine Title to our Promised Land.

Now, thanks to the stirringly simple concept of "good VS evil" and "There is no such thing as a good terrorist", we may, with clear conscience and world acclaim, move on the "Eretz Yisra’el".

May God bless your great nation and your great President. (putz!)

Thanks... I'm afraid that our president has become Powellized. Powell is the biggest threat to America this very moment. God bless BiBi... sure wish we had a president with such clarity and backbone.

"Question: Why is it suddenly politically correct to hate Jews? Huh?"

Because the left wing has been mostly in control of the West for nearly 40 years, and virtually in total control of it for the past 8, with considerable help from the propaganda machine of Emporer Bill. Yes, there are meny Jews in the left wing. They helped bring about the holocaust.

Probably because most Christians support Israel and the libs have become aware of that.

Netanyahu was sold out and trashed by Clinton. He recieved no support from him. And Clinton undercut him at every opportunity. I believe Natanyahu did support certain peace proposals in the interest of finding peace for his people and the Palestinians. I've heard him state very clearly that he wants peace for the innocent Palestinians too.

Whatever you think of him, he was not a part of the Barak agreements proposed 18 months ago. In my opinion Barak was ill-advised to offer what he did at that time. Clinton was licking his chops at the prospect of Israel's corpse in my opinion.

Netanyahu is a very capable good man. Perhaps this time he'll recieve some support from the US. After seeing Bush equivocate, I'm not betting on it.

I am ashamed of the wishy washy tactics of our President. He is not a good spokesperson for the Conservative cause. It's almost impossible to believe that he actually supports Israel.

Colon Powell on the APPEASEMENT OF TERRORISTS WORLD TOUR

Colon Bowel is fitting for a scared sh!tless humanitarianist compassionate conservative "warrior", who abandons jurisdiction by throwing his arms up or streching them out, whining "peace" "peace", only to find those Marines arms targeted and cut off.

Humanitarian war is our failure. We should assert jurisdiction, instead we assert terrorist identities and recognioze them for humanitarian reasons.

I fear compassionate conservatism, this entitlement for all mission, is a complete nonsense that is now being embraced for foreign policy. I don't know what these people are smoking. The only consolation is that they are doing the exact contrary of their intended goals. The whole region and our relations there are going ever more closer to the bankruptcy precipice every single day, a breaking of contracts with terrorists that should have been done long ago.

Powell is the biggest threat to America this very moment.

Anyone have a link to Free Republic? I used to post there and now my bookmark for it pulls up this site. What did Jim and John do, change the URL?

[ppaul]

At your suggestion.

LOL!

I am concerned that the State of Israel, that has for decades bravely manned the front lines against terror, is being pressed to back down just when it is on the verge of uprooting Palestinian terror.

These concerns first surfaced with the appearance of a reprehensible moral symmetry that equates Israel, a democratic government that is defending itself against terror, with the Palestinian dictatorship that is perpetrating it.

The deliberate targeting of Israeli civilians is shamefully equated with the unintentional loss of Palestinian life that is the tragic but unavoidable consequence of legitimate warfare.

Worse, since Palestinian terrorists both deliberately target civilians and hide behind them, Israel is cast as the guilty party because more Palestinians have been killed in Arafat’s terrorist war than Israelis.

No one, of course, would dare suggest that the United States was the guilty party in World War II because German casualties, which included millions of civilians, were twenty times higher then American casualties.

So too, only a twisted and corrupt logic would paint America and Britain as the aggressors in the current war because Afghan casualties are reported to have well exceeded the death toll of September 11.

My concern deepened when, incredibly, Israel was asked to stop fighting terror and return to a negotiating table with a regime that is committed to the destruction of the Jewish State and openly embraces terror.

Yasser Arafat brazenly pursues an ideology of policide – the destruction of a state –and meticulously promotes a cult of suicide.

I happen to be of the humble opinion that Bush actually DOES support Israel more than his words
recently would indicate. Some have said he has betrayed Israel, but I will reserve judgment for
a later time, after the events going forward have revealed themselves.

IMHO, I think (and hope) that there are Middle Eastern politics at play by Bush regarding
the upcoming attack on SADdam Hussein in Iraq and his removal. This expresses it quite well........
(Thanks for the post and ping, ppaul!)
Oh! And I would welcome good, reasoned feedback on this, folks! Thanks.....

Yasser Arafat brazenly pursues an ideology of policide – the destruction of a state –and meticulously promotes a cult of suicide.

With total control of the media, the schools, and ghoulish kindergarten camps for children that glorifies suicide martyrdom, Arafat’s dictatorship has indoctrinated a generation of Palestinians in a culture of death, producing waves of human bombs that massacre Jews in buses, discos, supermarkets, pizza shops, cafés – everywhere and anywhere.

Bump.
