Bush Calls It: NY Times “Disgraceful”

Posted on by


President Bush said yesterday that it was “disgraceful” that the mainstream media had disclosed a secret CIA-Treasury program to track millions of financial records in search of terrorist suspects. Bush accused The New York Times of breaking a long tradition of keeping wartime secrets.

“The fact that a newspaper disclosed it makes it harder to win this war on terror,” Bush said, leaning forward and jabbing his finger during a brief question-and-answer session with reporters in the Roosevelt Room. I noted that Bush then turned on his heels and departed.

Finally — some “official” and public anger on behalf of this administration with regard to the prodigious leak problems encountered during the second Bush term.

It is this kind of public display of anger that can only help the president rally support against such a contentious and heinous abrogation of the First Amendment as evidenced by the NY Times.

Vice President Cheney said:

The New York Times has now twice — on two separate occasions — disclosed programs; both times they had been asked not to publish those stories by senior administration officials. They went ahead anyway. The leaks to The New York Times and the publishing of those leaks is very damaging.

“Damaging” is being kind; there appears to be, and properly so, a growing swell of those who believe the NY Times and those responsible for the leak and its subsequent publishing should be prosecuted criminally. Count me as one of those persons.

We are at War, plain and simple. An issue such as this should cross all political leanings; we should be unified in our support of the War Against Islamists.

And yet, the NY Times is still playing in the Kiddies Pool by printing, in a puerile fit of pique, what amounts to the entire US intelligence community’s gameplan with regard to tracking money moved by terrorists. They are not stupid; they will now only go deeper and make this same tracking and identification that much more difficult.

We have collectively shot ourselves in the foot so that the DEM can slam our president and sell more papers when they are bleeding readers and cash. Make no mistake: this act by the New York Times was motivated by greed. How callow and craven is this?

This is beyond disgraceful; it requires a full investigation and a prosecution criminally by the US Attorney General and the Department of Justice.

Even John Murtha, yesterday’s Moonbat, urged the Times not to print the information.

That is how far off the reservation the NY Times has strayed.

Murtha The Moonbat, Part 243

Posted on by

Once again our beloved John “Jack” Murtha sticks his aged wingtip into his aged mouth and comes out with this:

American presence in Iraq is more dangerous to world peace than nuclear threats from North Korea or Iran, U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., said to a crowd of more than 200 in North Miami Saturday afternoon.
Murtha was the guest speaker at a town hall meeting organized by U.S. Rep. Kendrick B. Meek, D-Miami, at Florida International University’s Biscayne Bay Campus. Meek’s mother, former U.S. Rep. Carrie Meek, D-Miami, was also on the panel.
Murtha is another Democrat who, perhaps at one time was a clear-headed thinker, but now says that the war cannot be won militarily and needs political solutions. He said our 100,000 troops in Iraq should be pulled out immediately, and deployed to peripheral countries like Kuwait. Tactically that makes excellent sense; let’s delay our response time as much as possible to Iraq when it begins to slip into flames as Sunnis fight Shiites over alignments and allegiances with the US against Islamists. I’m sure, as many Left leaners believe, that once we leave “bygones will be bygones” and all will play well in the sandbox and never run with scissors.
“We do not want permanent bases in Iraq,” Murtha told the audience. “We want as many Americans out of there as possible.”
It would appear that a number of Democrats enjoy comparing Iraq to Vietnam; there is one very close similarity that I should like to point out:
Like Vietnam, should we completely pull out of Iraq prior to as much stabilization of its government as we can acquire, there would in all likelihood be killing on the order of the Khmer Rouge reign, from 1975 to 1979, where an estimated 1.5 million to 2 million Cambodians were systematically murdered — after we fled Saigon in Hueys.
History does tend to repeat itself.
And the comparison of the United States to Iran and North Korea possessing nuclear capabilities in terms of a world threat?
Beyond ridiculous.
Moonbat.

Another Blogger To “The Usual Suspect” List!

Posted on by


As yesterday I welcomed aboard AB Freedom, today I would like to welcome Bushwack of the American and Proud Of It blog to my Usual Suspect list!

Bushwack describes himself:

I am an American, a God fearing, gun toting, Truck driving, motorcycle loving, Troop supporting American; if you don’t like the country you live in, get the hell out.

Bushwack has a very creative blog, and its appearance is professional and well done! I suspect Bushwack has some rather amazing computer and HTML talents.

In addition, he is aligned with (or perhaps created) another blog that I would highly recommend, entitled Absolute Zero — which is an anti-pedophile blog describing itself as “A community of individuals pledged to fight paedophiles on the web. We are committed to the safety and emotional well-being of all children. This site will serve as a resource for those committed to our fight wherever you may be in the world.”

You would do well to frequent Bushwack’s American And Proud Of It! blog, and his aligned Absolute Zero blog!

Welcome aboard, Bushwack!

New To “The Usual Suspect” List

Posted on by


I have clearly been remiss in a number of my duties;

Amidst this I have somehow managed to let AB Freedom escape me.

I plan to rectify the situation now.

Please welcome “AB Freedom” to the Bloviating Zeppelin “Usual Suspect” list!

ABF describes himself as a “Single male beating back and exposing the socialist LIEberals just long enough until Alberta achieves independence.”

For this alone you should read his blog!

It is FAR past time that I expand my US list to include those without the American borders, though I have commented a number of times on his own blog.

You think our GOP problems extend solely to the northern border? Think again! AB Freedom takes and makes a stand clearly in opposition to the bulk of his country and for that, he pays a price. But is he alone? I’ll let you make that decision.

WELCOME, once again, AB Freedom, to the BZ Usual Suspect list!

The Animals In The Forest

Posted on by
Imagine a new Hulking Giant in your forest. This new Giant is just that: massive, powerful, muscles rippling, larger than anything you’ve ever seen. You watch the giant flex its claws, open its mouth and casually yawn exposing teeth the size of your entire body. Your burrow happens to be a short distance from where this new Hulking Giant has chanced to make his home.
The new Giant is ferocious and ominous. Fellow animals have disappeared. You’ve seen their dessicated bodies in the forest but you’ve not yet seen the attack. And you’ve noticed that, wherever the Hulking Giant goes, many fellow smaller animals are nearby, praising the Giant or merely attempting to lend support by their presence.
You realize they are attempting to curry favor with the Giant so they are not eaten; fearing they may be killed but hoping it will not happen.
There is another giant in the forest. This is the Old Hulking Giant. This giant lives a distance away. This Old One has seen the New Hulking Giant on the periphery of his domain, not yet crossing into the clearing, but staring hard, daily, at the Old One. The Old One has seen animals in the mouth of the new Hulking Giant but he has not seen the new Hulking Giant kill or eat an animal. And he has seen the other animals at the feet of the new Hulking Giant.
There are two other Lesser Giants in the forest. The Old One has seen these Lesser Giants roaring and stomping, gnashing their teeth, coming up to the periphery of the Old One and bellowing, slashing with their claws, foaming with anger and violence.
These Lesser Giants are smaller and certainly less powerful than the new Hulking Giant, who is immense indeed.
The Old One knows this: if he gets into a fight with any of these Giants, it will not be a test of wills. It will be To The Death.
The Old One knows that some day very soon, one of these three will make a move and cross his clearing. Worse yet, he believes he has seen one, or perhaps both, of the Lesser Giants speaking to the new Hulking Giant.
What does the Old One do? Will he try to locate their lairs and kill them in their sleep, one by one? Or will he wait for them to attack and confront them?
The Old One knows he has strength and energy to take on perhaps one or even both of the Lesser Giants. But what would happen if, in their defense, the new Hulking Giant appeared for a fight?
The Old One also realizes this: the other animals in the forest know he is old and they doubt his power and maybe even his will to use it. The Old One wonders: with whom will they side when I am in my fight?
