My Favorite Quotes

“At a time when our entire country is banding together and facing down individualism, the Patriots set a wonderful example, showing us all what is possible when we work together, believe in each other, and sacrifice for the greater good.”

- Ted Kennedy, after the Patriots first Super Bowl victory.

“It is thus necessary that the individual should come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation; that the position of the individual ego is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole … that above all the unity of a nation’s spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual … this state of mind which subordinates the interests of the ego to the conservation of the community, is really the first premise for every human culture … we understand only the individual’s capacity to make sacrifices for the community; for his fellow man.”

- Adolf Hitler, 1933

“All our lives we fought against exalting the individual, against the elevation of the single person, and long ago we were over and done with the business of being a hero, and here it comes up again: the glorification of one personality. This is not good at all.”

- Vladimir Lenin, 1909

“We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society.”

- Hillary Clinton, 1993

Arkin Hurts His Own

 

Arkin Blasts the Troops and NBC falls to Second Place

Bill Arkin is a traitor and should be hung, but he has harmed his own network more than he has harmed America. When is the MSM going to figure out that the country isn’t going to put up with their BS anymore? The demographics are pretty easy to figure out.

The 18 to 25 crowd educated in government schools, have not a clue who the vice president is and couldn’t identify one of their state senators, gets their news from the Daily Show. They don’t watch network news.

The 26 – 34 crowd, also educated in government schools think that the constitution grants them a democracy and gets their news from Entertainment Tonight. They don’t watch network news.

The 34 – 49 crowd ALSO educated in government schools think that the “less fortunate” are entitled to government subsidies and some get their news from the networks and newspapers, while the rest of them (the Americans who, according to Richard Gephardt “won life’s lottery) get their news from cable and talk radio. This segment is very divided. They generally approve of the war in Iraq and generally support Bush.

The over-50 crowd, most of whom were educated in pre-government schools, get their news from talk radio and cable. They don’t watch network news.

So, when three out of four key demographics don’t watch the network news, then who does? When will it occur to the network news people that unless Congress passes a revised form of the fairness doctrine (if the Dim’s gain total control, you can take it to the bank), their ratings will continue to fall.

Americans don’t have to be told that the war in Iraq is unpopular. They know what they believe and while the MSM is destructive and encourages the Islamofacists, the truth is their influence is dwindling daily. Without assistance from Congress, and with God’s help, the end of the left-wing MSM is near. Perhaps with a hand from Pelosi, Murtha, Kennedy and the incredibly arrogant John Kerry, the bed-wetting liberals will dig their own grave between now and 2008. If the good guys don’t re-take the House, we are in deep shitzle.

The Clinton Path to Islamofacist War - Year Seven: 1999

 

The Clinton path to Islamofacist War – Year Seven: 1999

The Chronology that documents Clinton’s conversion of the US military into humanitarian relief workers (and a lab for social engineering) while on a direct path to the Islamofacist War we

find ourselves in today. With an overwhelming disregard for the role of the military and the national security of our country, here is what he does this year:

January 13: The Washington Times reports that President Clinton backed away from an announcement on funding the first part of a deployed national missile defense after US attacks on Iraq prompted Russia to halt its ratification of the STAT II arms treaty.

February 12: The US Senate votes to acquit President Clinton on both impeachment charges.

March 24: The US military forces in coalition with NATO allies commence on a seventy-eight-day bombing campaign against Serbia and Serb forces in Kosovo in response to the Yugoslav government’s campaign of violence and repression against the ethnic Albanian population in Kosovo.

May 7: NATO airplanes mistakenly bomb the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, killing seven. China accuses the US of conducting a deliberate attack.

May 25: The US House of Representatives Select Committee on US National Security releases a three-volume report detailing the transfer of sensitive dual-use US military-related technologies to China. The report includes the satellite/rocket-related cases pertaining to the Loral and Hughes companies. “The seriousness of these findings and their enormous significance to our national security”, the commission states, includes theft of some of America’s most sensitive technologies, including nuclear weapons design. Good job, Bill. It is almost as if we put a guy in charge who had no credentials to do the job – well, actually, that is EXACTLY what we did. Let’s not do it again, OK?

May 27: The Russian Duma adopts a resolution condemning the NATO actions and postpones ratification of the STAT II treaty. They still think they are in charge.

June 10: NATO suspends bombing in Kosovo after Serb forces begin to withdraw. By God, the Russian thing worked.

June 11: Kosovo troops begin entering Kosovo. Russian troops arrive in Pristina three hours before NATO troops arrive in Kosovo.

June 20: Serb forces completely withdraw from Kosovo, which signals NATO to end its bombing campaign throughout Yugoslavia. Nice job of doing nothing, Bill.

July 14: Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak visits the USZ for the first time since taking office on July 6th. He and President Clinton pledge to make peace a top priority. Words – symbolism – the essence of the Clinton Presidency.

July 15: A congressionally mandated Commission to Assess the Ballistic Missile Threat to the US, led by former secretary of defense, Donald Rumsfeld concludes that “Ballistic missiles armed with WMD payloads pose an immediate strategic threat to the US”. The report is in stark contrast to the Clinton administration’s definitive 1995 NIE that there would be “no threat from long-range ballistic missiles for at least 15 years”. The report adds that “the threat to the US posed by these emerging capabilities is broader, more mature and evolving more rapidly than has been reported in estimates and reports by the Clinton administration’s intelligence community”.

July 19: President Clinton reports to Congress that “consistent with the War Powers Resolution, about 6,200 US military personnel continue to participate in the NATO-led SFOR operation in Bosnia and another 2,200 troops will support SFOR from other parts of the region. In addition, US military personnel will remain in Macedonia in support of the international security presence in Kosovo. Saxophones play while Rome burns.

November 2: At a ceremony in Oslo, President Clinton meets with Barak and Arafat who agree to designate February 13, 2000 as the target for achieving a framework agreement on the permanent status of peace issues. February 13 has come and gone eight times since then. The ceremonial Presidency – I guess that is what people want.

December 15: President Clinton reports to congress that “consistent with the War Powers Resolution, 8,000 US troops will continue to serve as part of the NATO-led KFOR security force in Kosovo while another 1,500 US troops are deployed in other parts of the region in support roles. Clinton continues to turn our troops into a police force on behalf of his CARING Presidency.

His was probably the most ineffectual Presidency in history, yet he did tremendous damage to our military, our defense and our national security. He was fortunate that the majority of the constituency were too stupid, ill-informed, self-centered and careless to prevent it from happening. I think it is even worse right now.


If you were bin-Laden, what would YOU do? 

Wait until next week for 2000.

The Clinton Path to Islamofacist War - Year Six

 

The Clinton path to Islamofacist War – Year Six: 1998

The Chronology that documents Clinton’s conversion of the US military into humanitarian relief workers (and a lab for social engineering) while on a direct path to the Islamofacist War we find ourselves in today. With an overwhelming disregard for the role of the military and the national security of our country, here is what he does this year:

January 26: President Clinton declares publicly, regarding Lewinsky, “I did not have sexual relations with that woman.”

February 23: Bin Laden issues a joint declaration with the Egyptian Islamic group Al Jihad, the Jihad Movement in Bangladesh, and the Jamiat-ul-Ulema-e-Pakistan under the banner of the “World Islamic Front”, which states that Muslims should kill Americans, including civilians – anywhere in the world. No response from the US.

April 16: The US ambassador to the UN, Bill Richardson – and a Democrat candidate for the Presidency – visits Afghanistan and Pakistan. In Afghanistan, he asks the Northern Alliance resistance to stop its successful offensive against the Taliban and their al-Qaeda allies. He asks the Taliban to turn over bin-Laden. They ignore him. He then calls for an end of military supplies to all warring factions and calls for a religious clergy conference to discuss peace. The Northern Alliance believes him an honors the arms embargo. Pakistan however, steps up arms supplies to the Taliban and sends in military enforcements form the army and religious schools. Within a few months, the Taliban and al-Qaeda regain a military advantage and with support form Pakistani air power, capture most of the Northern Alliance areas of resistance. Nice call Bill, we can hardly wait or you to sit in the big chair. The US does nothing.

June 8: A US grand jury investigation of bin Laden initiated in 1996 issues an indictment charging bin Laden with “conspiracy to attack defense utilities of the US and that he heads a terrorist organization called al-Qaeda and is a major financier of terrorists around the world”. No sh*t.

August 6: Monica Lewinsky testifies under immunity to a grand jury.

August 7: US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania are bombed simultaneously killing 224 and injuring more than 5,000 – Osama bin Laden takes credit for the attacks. No US response.

August 17: President Clinton undergoes four hours of grand jury questioning. Afterward, he says, “I did have a relationship with Ms. Lewinsky that was not appropriate.”

August 20: President Clinton orders synchronized air strikes in Afghanistan and Sudan. In Sudan, the US strikes a pharmaceutical plant suspected of being a chemical weapons factory. In Afghanistan cruise missiles strike camps used by OBL terrorist organizations. Hardly anyone was at the pharmaceutical factory which did not contain chemical weapons, and no one was at the OBL camps.

September 9: Kenneth Starr tells House leaders that he has found substantial and credible information that may constitute grounds for impeachment.

September 15: Following the Taliban and al-Qaeda capture of Bamiyan, the Hazara stronghold in central Afghanistan, massive atrocities are committed against the civilian population. On Afghanistan’s western border, Iran masses 200,000 troops in response to the Taliban’s northern offensive which is backed by Pakistan. No US response.

September 21: The New York Times reports that in August, a small group of presidential advisors met with Clinton reportedly with evidence that bin Laden wished to obtain weapons of mass destruction and chemical weapons to use against US installations. No US response.

September 23: The UN Security Council adopts Resolution 1199 demanding a cessation of hostilities in Kosovo and warning that additional measures to restore peace will be considered. Wow.

November 13: President Clinton agrees to pay Paula Jones $850,000 to drop her sexual harassment lawsuit.

December 11: The House Judiciary Committee approves four articles of impeachment against President Clinton which involve perjury and obstruction of justice in the Jones case.

December 19: President Clinton is impeached; the House approves two articles of impeachment.

December 20: Polls show that President Clinton’s approval ratings are higher than ever.

You couldn’t make this stuff up. Bin Laden’s original strategy was to attack a middle-eastern country (like Egypt) with an outcome like that in Iran after the Shah got thrown out, but after watching the US fail to respond for six years in a row, he has decided to attack the US instead on 9/11. Wait until next week for 1999.

The Clinton path to Islamofacist War - Yar Five

 

The Clinton path to Islamofacist War – Year Five: 1997

The Chronology that documents Clinton’s conversion of the US military into humanitarian relief workers (and a lab for social engineering) while on a direct path to the Islamofacist War we find ourselves in today. With an overwhelming disregard for the role of the military and the national security of our country, here is what he does this year:

February 23: A Palestinian gunman opens fire on the observation deck of the Empire State Building in NYC killing one and wounding six others before he kills himself – this to avenge sins of the enemies of Palestine.

March 13: President Clinton utilizes US military forces to evacuate certain US government employees and private American citizens form Albania.

March 25: US military forces deploy to Congo and Gabon for a standby evac of Americans from Zaire.

May 15: President Clinton issues the secret Presidential Decision Directive 56 (PDD-56) which guides the policy for PDD-25 on the US role in international peacekeeping operations. A controversial feature of the directive is that UN-associated NGOs are given a voice in the field through the creation of a “Civilian-Military Operations Center.” The directive also urges the inclusion of the NGOs in the planning and policy-making circles in Washington. AMAZING.

May 16: A classified report form the Defense Technology Security Administration (DTSA) concludes that Loral and Hughes have transferred expertise to China that significantly enhances the reliability of their nuclear ICBMs and that the US national security has been harmed in a significant way. Can you imagine what happens when the Iranians and the Chinese partner up?

May 29: President Clinton orders US military forces deployed to Freetown, Sierra Leone to evac certain US government employees and private US citizens. The US military has become our bus drivers, but then again, how would Bill Clinton know what to do with them?

September 9: The Department of Justice begins a criminal investigation into allegations that Loral and Hughes illegally passed technical assistance to China.

September 10: With the Middle East peace process stalled for more than a year, SecState Madeleine Albright makes her first official trip to the Middle East.

September 26: After returning form the Middle East and accomplishing nothing, SecState Albright signs three agreements related to the ABM Treaty at the UN. Deeply criticized by military experts as a severe threat to our national security, the agreement re-imposes restrictions found in the defunct 1972 ABM treaty between the US and the USSR on a national missile defense system. Why?

November 1: President Clinton issues PDD-60 which formally abandons guidelines issued by the Reagan administration in 1981 that prepared the US for fighting and winning a protracted nuclear war.

December 5: President Clinton issues a “presidential determination” waiving provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Act of 1987 to authorize the re-opening of the PLO office in Washington, DC>

December 19: Monica Lewinsky is issued a subpoena to appear at a deposition in the Paula Jones lawsuit.

What a year, Bill! You continued to threaten and weaken our national security, while using the military as a peacekeeping police and rescue force. Good luck with that Paula Jones thing.

I realize that I am preaching to the choir here, but if there is somebody out there who actually knows someone in the left-wing media in a position to publish this, then please do it.  This kid runs the air traffic control tower in Baghdad.  Amazing perspective.  If the left-wing media never publishes pieces like this one, then it is no suprise that we see only one awful side to this story.  It is clear that the left-wing media is purposely managing a propaganda war to embarass Bush and convince those twelve stupid-a*s Republicans to vote for this disgraceful resolution tomorrow.  Unbelievable.

E-Mail from Tazz, Airman in Iraq to Rush Limbaugh

February 15, 2007

Hey Rush,

I am scratching my head here. None of this makes any sense… but I wonder what you think about all of this…

The national news media shows lots of our American servicemen and women dying over there in Iraq and getting killed, helicopters being shot-down, roadside bombs going off…etc…etc. Yet, when you are there, when you work with Americans and Iraqis who are actively engaged in re-building the country, who are out going after the enemy… there’s this ever-present sense of optimism, this prevailing up-beat mood of doing good. Just go talk to the wounded servicemen at Brooks or Bethesda… they’ll tell you the same. Likewise… the Iraqi gentlemen (civilians) I worked with were excited about their economic prospects. They were eager for their families to experience a better life than the life they had under a totalitarian regime.

Rush, there’s an upbeat mood out there in Iraq. The country and its new democracy are moving forward. And the enemy hates it.

On the subject of “civil war” or “civil strife” in Iraq…

From what we can tell… there’s no “civil war” or “civil strife” as the news media puts it. The terrorists are coming from outside the country and killing civilians – as many as possible – to gain a foothold in Iraq. They play this stuff on TV to make us sick. It’s working… we are getting sick… but Iraq is getting strong. If there really is civil strife in the country… then WHY don’t WE hear statements in the news about Shia leaders taking responsibility for Sunni killings, and vice-versa? WHY? This is why: Because they aren’t doing that Rush. THAT’S WHY we NEVER hear news reports from the so-called “civil strife” combatants themselves… because there aren’t any… the IRAQIS are trying to build-up their country and make it work… MEANWHILE the enemy comes and kills everyone they can… and they run away from the scene (or die in the blast themselves).

One more thought…

I HATE DOING MATH…BUT THINK ABOUT THIS….

Rush…there’s anywhere from 500 to 1,000 road vehicle convoys per day in the country of Iraq. One or three of these vehicle convoys (at most) get hit by an IED each day, which destroys maybe one or two vehicles. Most convoys have anywhere from 20 – 100 vehicles…NOW…what’s your odds (e.g. CNN reporter) of being tagged by an IED????

In Summary…

I remain confused, amazed, and dumbfounded by the news-media view on the war. And yet Americans are buying it…WHY??? How can we believe only one side of the story without seeing the whole picture… the whole story as it unfolds? Does ANYONE really know (other than those who are there) what’s REALLY happening in Iraq??? Is there any chance of getting any of this news reporting being done right???

America is doing good things over there. Our troops are awesome… they are an inspiration… a model of courage and of selfless patriotism. Why don’t people back home trust them?

Mega Dittos Rush

Very Respectfully,

Tazz

Clinton Path to Islamofacist War - Year Four - 1996

 

The Clinton path to Islamofacist War – Year Four: 1996

The Chronology that documents Clinton’s conversion of the US military into humanitarian relief workers (and a lab for social engineering) while on a direct path to the Islamofacist War we find ourselves in today.

February 6: President Clinton issues a waiver to lift sanctions and permit four satellites including a Loral product to be launched on Chinese rockets despite the January reports that China continues to export nuclear technology to Pakistan. On the same day, Clinton’s friend and Chinese Triad mafia member Charlie Trie attends a White House coffee with Wang Jun, China’s top military-industrial arms dealer who had a multi-billion dollar stake in getting access to American satellites.

March 10: The US deploys two carrier battle groups to the waters off Taiwan, calling China’s live-fire exercises which are intended to intimidate Taiwan “reckless and risky”.

February 14: On liftoff, the Chinese launch of its Long March rocket fails killing several people and destroying a $126m Loral satellite.

March 14: The Clinton administration announces a decision to move a commercial communications satellite from the Munitions List to the Commerce Control List of dual-use items along with the export license from State to Commerce.

April 5: The LA Times reports that the Clinton administration approved a shipment of Iranian arms to the Bosnian government in 1994.

April 9: President Clinton orders US military forces to Liberia to evacuate “private US citizens and certain third-country nationals because of the deterioration of the security situation and resulting threat to American citizens”.

May 10: Loral completes an engineering report that instructs China how to improve its faulty rockets and missiles, including solving fatal problems in guidance systems. This assistance enhances the ability of Chinese ICBMs to hit American cities with precision.

May 10: Sudan expels Osama bin Laden because of international pressure applied by the US and Saudi Arabia. He returns to Afghanistan.

May 20: President Clinton reports to Congress on the continual deployment of US military forces to evacuate the US embassy in Liberia and to respond to the various isolated attacks on the American Embassy complex.

May 23: The Clinton administration announces that China will not be sanctioned for transferring the ring magnets to Pakistan saying that there is no evidence that the Chinese government has willfully aided or abetted Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program.

June 1: In Hong Kong, Clinton donor Johnny Chung meets China Aerospace Corp. executive Liu Chaoying, a lieutenant colonel in the People’s Liberation Army who attended counterintelligence school. Her company builds satellites and rockets and provides equipment for China’s nuclear tests. The company also owns China Great Wall Industry Corp., which had been sanctioned by the US in 1991 and 1993 for selling missiles to Pakistan.

June 23: President Clinton waives sanctions under PL 101-246 for the Asia-Pacific Mobile Telecommunications (APMT) satellite to be exported for launch from China.

June 25: Khobar Towers, a military housing facility in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia is attacked as a fuel truck carrying a bomb explodes killing nineteen US military personnel and wounding 515 more.

July 9: President Clinton waives sanctions under PL 101-246 allowing the Globestar satellite to be exported for launch from China.

July 9: Liu Chaoying arrives in the US and at the home of Democratic fundraiser Eli Broad and a subsequent photo op with President Clinton. Liu and Chung incorporate Marshall Investment, Inc., a front for the Chinese People’s Liberation Army and a funnel for PLA funds traveling through Marshall to the US Democratic Party.

August 23: Osama bin Laden issues a Declaration of Jihad against the US and calls for support of Islamic revolutionary groups around the world.

September 3: US forces launch forty-four cruise missiles at military targets in southern Iraq. President Clinton announces a widening of the no-fly zone.

September 27: The Taliban movement captures Kabul and gains control of 90 percent of the country. The Clinton administration announces that the Taliban will bring stability to Afghanistan.

December 20: The NATO-led Implementation Force (IFOR) peacekeeping mission ends in Bosnia and the UN-mandated Stabilization Force (SFOR) mission begins. The 54,000 troops of IFOR are replaced by just 18,000 SFOR troops. The US contingent is reduced to 3,600 troops in Bosnia.

The Clinton Path to Islamofacist War - Year Three - 1995

 

The Clinton path to Islamofacist War – Year Three: 1995

The Chronology that documents Clinton’s conversion of the US military into humanitarian relief workers (and a lab for social engineering) while on a direct path to the Islamofacist War we find ourselves in today.

February 27: In Somalia, 1,800 US combat forces arrive in Mogadishu to assist with the removal of the UN Operations in Somalia (UNOSOM II) peacekeeping operation.  Symbolism over substance again.

March 3: The UNOSOM II international peacekeeping force is withdrawn from Somalia, in the midst of continuing instability.

March 8: Three unidentified gunmen kill two US diplomats and wound a third in Karachi, Pakistan. No response from the US.

March 31: The US-led peace operation in Haiti gives way to a UN peacekeeping operation, called the UN Mission in Haiti, or UNMH.  Get out without headlines.

June 3: NATO and other European Union countries agree to plans for a rapid-reaction force of up to 10,000 troops to protect UN peacekeepers in Bosnia. The US offers to provide air support, intelligence, transport and other equipment – but no ground troops. No ground troops assures no headlines underscoring the deaths of US soldiers.

August 8: Two of Saddam Hussein’s sons-in-law, both key aids, defect and are granted political asylum abroad. One of them, Hussein Kamel is the principal architect of Iraq’s programs of WMD and claims that Saddam intends to invade Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. He also claims Saddam has huge stockpiles of WMD. We ignore the claim and do nothing.

August 30: NATO begins a campaign of massive air strikes against Bosnian Serb military targets around Sarajevo under Operation Deliberate Force, which lasts for about one month. No victory – no loss.

September 28: The Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement on the West Bank is signed in Washington. The fake handshake photo-op follows. It looks like Arafat smells a fart. Following the signing, President Clinton hosts a summit attended by Jordan’s King Hussein, Egypt’s Hosni Mubarack, Israel’s Yitzhak Rabin and the PLO’s Yasser Arafat.  Photo Op looks like Clinton brokered the peace agreement.

November 4: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin is assassinated in Tel Aviv, by an Israeli. The message is clear: Israel does not want peace with the PLO.

November 13: A bomb hidden in a van explodes at the US military headquarters in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia killing seven and five Americans. No US response.

December 17: Presidential elections are held in Haiti. Although former president Aristide is not permitted to run, his protégé Rene Preval wins with 89 percent of the votes cast. The vote is marred buy only a 28 percent voter turnout and multiple boycotts. We declare victory.

Though the Dayton Peace Accords are signed on November 21st of 1995 resulting in a stabilized Balkans, the pattern of continued use of the military in symbolic gestures designed to present an image of President Clinton’s feeling the pain of others continues. Always Tomahawks, never troops results in no headline accounts of body bags and assures high poll numbers.

By the mid-1990’s the world not only doesn’t remain a safer place, it continues to get worse. As you can see, the pattern of minor appeasement combined with vague, non-supportive and purposeless military leadership sends a message to our enemies that the US simply does not have the stomach for serious combat and is led by a President who “despises the military”, favors commerce and future favors over National Security and clearly fails to understand (charitable view) where his actions are leading this country.

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest.

The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling among a nation’s military is far worse.

A man who has nothing which he cares about more

than himself is a miserable creature who has no

chance of being free, unless made and kept so

by the existence of better men than himself.”

- John Stewart Mill

The Clinton Path - Year Two: 1994

 

The Clinton path to Islamofacist War – Year Two: 1994

The Chronology that documents Clinton’s conversion of the US military into humanitarian relief workers (and a lab for social engineering) while on a direct path to the Islamofacist War we find ourselves in today.

January 6: President Clinton labels three types of satellites as “civilian”, thus circumventing sanctions on China in order to allow exports to proceed.

February 28: US military aircraft under NATO control shoot down four Serbian Galeb planes in the former Yugoslavia while patrolling the no-fly zone.

April 10: NATO-led US warplanes strike Bosnian Serb forces in Gorazde.

April 12: US combat-equipped forces are deployed to Burundi to assist with the evacuation of US embassy personnel and other citizens from Rwanda.

May 4: In Cairo, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat sign the agreement on the Gaza Strip and Jericho area formally setting terms for the withdrawal of Israeli forces.

July 13: President Clinton (now thoroughly distracted by the Paula Jones sexual harassment law suit filed in May) issues presidential waivers under PL 101-246 to allow US satellites to be launched from Chinese rockets.

July 22: In Rwanda, US forces begin a three month “intervention” to assist NGOs and international organizations to provide relief to refugees of the civil war and to assist with the deployment of UN peacekeeping troops. By mid-August, US troops participating at the peak of the mission total 3,600 with most deployed outside of Rwanda.

August 5: US aircraft, operating under NATO and acting upon requests of UN protective forces, attack Bosnia Serb heavy weapons in Sarajevo’s heavy-weapons exclusion zone.

September 19: 20,000 US forces enter Haiti under code name Operation Uphold Democracy as the lead force in the multinational operation to restore Jean (the crook) Bertrand Aristide to power.

October 15: President Clinton lifts sanctions he had imposed on China for selling missile technology to Pakistan.

Leadership involves conduct. Conduct is determined by values.

Values are what makes us who we are.

- General H. Norman Schwarzkoff

November 1: A newly operational Afghan militant force called the Taliban, created by Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence Agency around Islamic schools and funded by the Saudis emerges from northwest Pakistan and captures Kandahar. On the same day, President Clinton issues a waiver on sanctions on China for missile-technology exports.

November 10: Iraq accepts the UN-designated land border with Kuwait as well as Kuwaiti sovereignty as confirmed by UN Security Council Resolution 833.

November 19: The UN Security Council approves Resolution 958 which authorizes the use of air power to support the UN Protection Force in Croatia.

December 12: China transfers ring magnets to an unsafely guarded nuclear facility in Pakistan violating the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and contravening US laws that require sanctions.

December 22: President Clinton announces that the US Army peacekeeping force in Macedonia will be replaced by five hundred soldiers from the 1st Cavalry Division.

While Clinton was dramatically reducing the size and capability of our military while at the same time sending them helter-skelter off on weakly planned peacekeeping missions only as a symbolic show of “concern” and conducting social experiments with “don’t ask, don’t tell” and women in combat roles, he was getting tremendous help from the liberal left wing of the Democrat party.

In his incredible book, “The Enemy At Home”, Dinesh D’Souza points out that what Muslims really hate is not America per se, but the American culture which has become increasingly vulgar, trivial, and disgusting. It is not just the reality shows where contestants eat maggots or the talk shows where guests reveal the humiliating details of their sex lives, it is “high culture” which liberals define as intellectual, refined and sophisticated.

As an example of the latter, Vagina Monologues, is a play that has won countless rave reviews and Hollywood accolades and is now routinely performed in more than twenty countries, including China and Turkey. In the book version of the play, now sold in translation in Pakistan, India and Egypt, the author offers what she calls “vagina occurrences”: “Glenn Close gets 2,500 people to stand up and chant the word c*nt … there is now a c*nt workshop at Wesleyan University … Roseanne performs ‘What Does Your Vagina Smell Like?’ … Alanis Morissette and Audra McDonald sing the c*nt piece … and on and on.

The debate over the culture war that has been going on since the sixties has been pretty much confined to our domestic agenda – until now. The Muslim community is very afraid that the current vulgarity is being exported into their traditional cultures and that is why they hate us. When we debate issues like abortion, school prayer, divorce and gay marriage, we are debating two radically different views of liberty and morality. Issues like divorce and family breakdown are symptoms of a great moral shift that has occurred in American society and continues to divide and polarize this country, and is at the root of the anti-Americanism of traditional cultures.

The Clinton Path to Islamofacist War

 

The Clinton path to Islamofacist War – Year One: 1993

The Chronology that documents Clinton’s conversion of the US military into humanitarian relief workers (and a lab for social engineering) while on a direct path to the Islamofacist War we find ourselves in today. George Bush haters, get your facts right.

“In less than three years as commander in chief, Clinton

and his team, while increasing the number of overseas

deployments, reduced the total active-duty force from

2.1 million to 1.6 million men and women. The Army

was reduced from eighteen full-strength light and

mechanized divisions to a vulnerable twelve. The Navy

was reduced from 546 to 380 ships, toward a targeted

reduction of 300 – the smallest naval force since the pre-

world war II period.”

“And on his watch, our military was deployed more often

than during any other Presidency in history, not to fight actual wars

but to manage poorly planned and unclear peacekeeping missions

with unclear rules of engagement in places like Somalia, Haiti,

Rwanda, Colombia, Cambodia, Bosnia, and Kosovo all resulting in

little if anything gained in terms of democracy and the development

of civil societies in these countries.”

February 26: In New York, the World Trade Center is bombed by Islamic terrorists. A car bomb planted in an underground garage kills six people and leaves ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND injured. Investigators believe the mastermind of the attack, Ramzi Yousef, is financially connected to Osama bib Laden.

April 12: NATO air forces begin enforcing the UN-mandated no-fly zone over Bosnia, involving sixty US, French and Dutch warplanes.

April 9 – 18: In Iraq, US planes bomb Iraqi antiaircraft sites that had tracked and attacked US aircraft.

April 13: US forces in association with NATO enforce the ban on all unauthorized military flights over Bosnia-Herzegovina.

May 4: In Somalia, Operation Restore Hope is replaced by the UN Security Council Operation UNOSOM II, with enforcement powers and a mandate to disarm warring factions, in Accordance with the Addis Ababa agreements of January 1993. Out of 22,700 multinational troops and logistics personnel, 2,900 are US forces, primarily combat SUPPORT personnel assigned to the UN Logistics Support Command. Restore Hope was established under US command in December 1992 to establish a secure environment for humanitarian relief operations.

June 19: US aircraft fire on an Iraqi antiaircraft site displaying hostile intent.

June 26: The US attacks the Iraqi Intelligence Service Headquarters in Baghdad, launching 23 Tomahawk Cruise Missiles (Clinton’s favorite – as there is almost no risk of US casualties) in retaliation for an attempted assassination of the former US president George Bush while he visited Kuwait. The assassination attempt was hatched by Iraqi agents.

July 9: UN protection forces, including 350 US soldiers, are deployed to participate in the UN protection of the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.

There are ways in which a ruler can bring

misfortune upon his army by attempting

to govern that army in the same way as

he administers a kingdom, being ignorant

to the conditions which obtain in an army.”

- Sun Tzu, The Art of War

August 3: An Army Ranger task force of more than 1,100 soldiers is deployed to Somalia as a “quick reaction force”.

August 31: The Oslo Accords are agreed to by Israel and the PLO during secret talks in Norway. After 45 years of conflict, the two agree to recognize each other. Arafat signs a letter recognizing Israel and renouncing violence.

September 13: The Oslo Accords are signed by Israeli and Palestinian leaders at a White House ceremony.

October 3: In Somalia, eighteen American soldiers are killed in a Mogadishu firefight with irregular forces loyal to warlord Mohammad Aidid. Some 500-1,000 of Aidid’s fighters are killed by US troops.

October 7: President Clinton announces that the US will withdraw all combat forces and most logistics units from Somalia by March 31, 1994.

Today, 2007: “Somalia has two rival governments — the weak, internationally recognized transitional government, marooned in the inland city of Baidoa, and the Islamist forces, a popular grassroots movement that controls much of the country, including the battle-scared seaside capital, Mogadishu.” New York Times

North Korea Lies Again

 

North Korea Pissing on the USA Again … Who’s in charge here?

U.S. experts who visited Kim in Pyongyang last week said North Korea would propose a freeze of its main nuclear reactor and a resumption of international inspections in exchange for energy aid and a normalization of relations with Washington. Kim said Thursday that any moves by North Korea would depend on the U.S. attitude.

"We are going to make a judgment based on whether the United States will give up its hostile policy and come out toward peaceful coexistence," he said, adding that the U.S. was "well aware" of what it had to do.

In 1994, when NK threatened to turn South Korea into a “sea of fire”, the Clinton administration sent (good GOD!) Jimmy Carter to practice his “smile”diplomacy with the churlish Dear Leader Kim Jong Il. The resulting framework agreement was a fraud; NK did not agree to any substantial verification process to monitor its ongoing nuclear activities. Instead, through the agreement, the NKs became the largest recipient of foreign aid in Asia – among other things UNLIMITED food aid for a dictatorship whose Stalinist policies were causing the death by starvation of over two million of its own citizens.

And, not only that, but the US, South Korea and Japan agreed to build two nuclear power plants for them.

In spite of Pyongyang’s history of lying and cheating, Clinton actually declared, “This agreement will help achieve a vital and long-standing American objective, an end to the threat of nuclear proliferation on the Korean peninsula.”

For the next six years, the Clinton administration ignored NK’s role in nuclear and other missile-related activities in China, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Lybia. The administration’s lack of resolve, and inability to take on accountability for what was going on in the international community and in Asia and the Middle East helped to escalate programs of weapons of mass destruction in all these regions. Clinton played golf, read the polls, and avoided making decisions that might be perceived by the American public to be militarily aggressive. God forbid! All the guy ever cared about were his poll numbers. Thank God W doesn’t.

China’s missile buildup along the Taiwan Strait and in the Himalayas adjacent to India had little impact on the administration.

Instead Beijing was rewarded with repeated presidential waivers, including satellite-launching agreements with US aerospace companies that resulted in the perfection of China’s intercontinental ballistic missiles. “friends of Bill” and his commerce secretary, Ron Brown were rewarded with permission to sell previously restricted military-related technologies to Chinese companies with direct ties to the military. In addition, Chinese companies and middlemen were granted bargain-basement sales on supercomputers, despite the formal objections and complaints form the Department of Defense and other agencies.

The Clinton administration also lifted restrictions on the sale of our own communications encryption software, which has enabled the Chinese military to operate its weapon-development programs at higher levels of secrecy. IN the ultimate coup de grace, the administration transferred the responsibility for licensing sensitive military technologies from the State department to the Department of Commerce, which appeared to act as a fundraising arm of the Democratic National Committee.

Beijing has been in bed with NK for years, yet continues to act as though they are our “partners” and want to assist us in these bi-lateral talks to get NK to step away from their nuclear program. All of the classified advanced thermonuclear research secrets that escaped our national laboratories during the Clinton administration, ended up in the hands of the Chinese and NK, while we continued to spend hundreds of millions in aid.
