Andrea strikes again!

If anything, Sen. Leahy's Kangaroo hearings yesterday was a glaring testament to how utterly beholden he and his party are to the rancid sewer rats befouling the legal profession, namely, the trial lawyers association. This group 'just happens' to be one of the party's most lucrative sources for campaign contributions.

In fact, the Democrat party today is but a wholly-owned subsidiary of these vultures.

Polls show Americans, by overwhelming margins, support the notion of Military tribunals to try 'suspected' terrorists. Wisely, the public properly sees these tribunals as the only suitable venue for meting out justice in cases of foreign combatants seized in the on-going War on Terrorism.

The attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon were unquestionably acts of war -- not ordinary crimes. Acts of war demand military tribunals both to punish the perpetrators and to guard vital national secrets.

Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind the atrocities of September 11, is a war criminal who merits none of the safeguards and constitutional protections of an ordinary criminal trial.

Americans instinctly understand this principle, thank you very much.

Hence, as much as the media might strain to fan 'controversy' in the beltway, the President's Executive Order authorizing military justice for terrorists enjoys the sweeping endorsement of the heartland.

Accordingly, Osama Bin Leahy and his Taliban ilk of holy Warriors can not -- and do not -- speak for ordinary Americans on this issue.

Of course, "Supreme Leader" Leahy's one and only agenda is clearly to bash the President in the hopes of splintering his political coalition at home. Mr. Leahy's petty obsession with hating Bush is not only shallow and myopic, it is inimical to the national interest itself.

These hearings essentially open up another battlefront, albeit political, yet one our enemies abroad will use in their propaganda war to weaken commitment and undermine international resolve. Bottom line: Leahy's media extravaganza in the Senate yesterday only gave aid and comfort to the enemy.

Worst of all, Leahy darn well knew it.

Make no mistake: Our enemies closely monitor these and other open proceedings. Inexorably, Leahy's partisan antics offer Mullah Omar and Bin Laden their first glimmer of hope. Leahy's message? "Keep your chin up, boys -- that smirking chimp's solid wall of support is now about to crumble -- I'll see to it!".

Unfortunately for this pathetic wretch from Vermont, his silly Jihad will, like the Taliban, fall flat on its face -- swept away, lickety-split. The public obviously is in no mood for goofy frolic and romp. They, unlike the fatuous fools on Capitol Hill, know war is serious business, and no time for petty rivalry and partisan sport.

The fallout from Leahy's whimsical 'dirty bomb' gambit will backfire, big time. Those yet to fathom the seismic shift the dramatic events these past three months have had on the political landscape will have their heads handed back to them on a platter.

Don't ever underestimate the Democrats' inexhaustible penchant for high dudgeon suicide missions, however. They'll be more -- plenty more -- from these tone-deafs who never let anything ever get in the way of proving what kamikaze nutballs can do. I guarantee you that much.

Memo to Leahy: El hombre de Tejas has the upperhand, and, guess what? It's going to stay that way, pal, whether you like it or not. Forget about tilting the scales in your favor, that feisty Texan you love to hate is one battle-hardened hombre.

Now put *that* in your pipe and smoke it.

My two cents..
"JohnHuang2"

The average American isn't nearly as exercised. He knows that a judicial system capable of elevating Johnnie Cochran to celebrity status as a reward for turning O.J. Simpson's murder trial into a civil-rights circus perhaps isn't the best protection against a larger threat.

It should surprise no one that The New York Times editorial board opposes tribunals.

Bull's eye!

75% support tribunals, so let the socialist dems whine about the rights of terrorists. The country is watching, hopefully they'll remember next time when we vote.

Let 'em bleat. Nobody's listening to them this time...

Andrea Peyser is NY's Ann Coulter an all plain spoken no nonsense kinda gal. She has no patience with political correctness and other Leftist Barbara Streisand garbage. When it comes to the issue of military tribunals that frighten the President's critics she points out how being overly sensitive to terrorists rights cost the lives of 6,000 plus Americans. Its time for the critics to stop whining and shut up already since its clear that at this time in our history the American people aren't exactly worried we might be doing too much to stop the threat of future terrorist attacks upon the United States. No they worry we aren't doing nearly all we can to make sure none ever happens. Andrea is asking the hysterical critics to step back and look at the big picture and cool it. After all we're at war and while we're at it as Andrea would undoubtedly agree we've got a country to defend. Our government cannot afford to be derelict in this duty on account of critics worrying that we're overreacting to a terrible danger. Just ask the dead in New York and Washington D.C whether they can exercise the constitutional rights the rest of us take for granted.

Amen.

I hope they keep up the whining, louder and louder. I believe it will come back on them.

Actually, she is a liberal by ancestry (lifestyle liberal) and a pro-abort and therefore NOT up to Annie's standard BUT there is no denying that when she is good, Peyser is very good indeed!

Excellent!! The only improvement would be if someone took your words and made a speech to thousands and thousands of people.

I saw some of this on FOX News last night. The first thing I thought of was that these were words by Hillary but spouted by Leahy. I just think that any leftist that spouts off now against Bush is doing so because Hillary orders it done. That way, she is not on record of attacking the President but her anit-Bush/conservative message still gets out. Am I being too paranoid? Should I get the tin-foil hat?

Another good one my friend...

John.....you need to get these post's of your's published...

They are that good!

When it comes to attacking President Bush, the lefties all follow the same script. hillary! is just one more of them. But then, where hillary! is concerned, paranoia makes sense.

If you allow spoiled brat children to whine long enough, without giving in...they have to re evaluate the importance of whinning. Usually they give up and act like the rest of the children!

Yesterday I read a ruling of federal district court judge Sands in the embassy bombing case, U.S. v. bin Laden, that he issued in early 2000. He was ruling on a motion by the defense asking for a bill of particulars from the government prosecutors. It's obvious from the opinion that the defense was asking for all sorts of information that could be put to sinister as well as to legal use, e.g., the names of the unindicted co-conspirators in the case (presumably government informants.)

I think Patrick Leahy has just made it a lot harder for himself politically to continue to block President Bush's appointments, judicial and otherwise.

Like Rush said yesterday, how can we have trials when 1 out of 4 judicial nominees of Bush have been blocked by liberals in the Senate?

That's right liberals, no justice, no peace.

"In fact, the Democrat party today is but a wholly-owned subsidiary of these vultures. "

Wrong. The dems are a wholly-owned subsidiary of GREED, POWER and SOCIALISM! The dems are a parasitic cancer that feeds on the host (taxpayer) until it dies and then wonders what the hell went wrong. Always has, always will!

That is why socialism NEVER works, every time it is tried.
