New Republic today has a three-person byline story:
John B. Judis, Spencer Ackerman & Massoud Ansari.
The title of this piece is July Surprise.

"Late last month, President Bush lost his greatest advantage
in his bid for reelection. A poll conducted by ABC News...
discovered that challenger John Kerry was running even
with the president on the critical question of whom voters
trust to handle the war on terrorism.... This spring, the
administration significantly increased its pressure on Pakistan
to kill or capture Osama bin Laden, his deputy, Ayman Al
Zawahiri, or the Taliban's Mullah Mohammed Omar, all of
whom are believed to be hiding in the lawless tribal areas of
Pakistan."

*********************************************

So the latest liberal conspiracy is that the White House is
pressuring Pakistan to deliver bin Laden during the Democrat
convention!

*********************************************

Here is proof the liberals are afraid that bin Laden will be
captured! They don't want him captures. It is their big
fear that he will be capured before the election. So they are
doing damage control in advance, just in case!

It is always the case: Good news for America is bad news
for the Democrats

Well, it's about time. He should have pressured Pakistan from
day one. I guess that makes Bu**** a hero. Got it.

If so, they learned it from Reagan. You did know that he cut a deal to
provide Iran illegal military materials and in return they held onto the
hostages they'd taken from the US embassy long enough to embarass Carter
didn't you?

I'm surprised that a (seemingly) intelligent person could forgive Bush for
the lies that have led to the deaths of so many innocent Americans.

It seems that political bias is able to overcome the critical facilties of
any Republican supporter.


Tell me, Bart! Do you still believe that Saddam had WMD?

Of course Saddam had them. He used them on his own people.

I can think of a hundred thousand reasons why Saddam needed
to be stopped. Can you doubt it?

I don't believe Bush lied. He made the right decision based on
the information he had. I also know that much of the intelligence
the President has at his disposal will never be revealed to insure
it won't be compromised.

Bush sent a message to the world. Tyrants will be punished.

I can only fault him for taking so long to respond. He has more
patience that I. He showed great diplomatic restraint. He shows
the proper resolve now, not to let thugs rule by terror.

I fault many other nations for failing to step forward and
address issues like this throughout the world. The USA can't
do it alone. It is too bad the UN is inept and unable to take
decisive action when it needs to be done.

When did he use them on his own people?

Why did the Allies do nothing at the time?

Yes.

In international law there is only *one* acceptable reason to invade a
sovereign state.

If you can think of more than one reason, then you are favouring the
disregard of international law.



I don't believe Bush lied.

Really? He said that Saddam had WMD. Do you still believe that Saddam had
WMD when the invasion occurred?

Nonsense!

No .... the message is that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts
absolutely.

patience that I. He showed great diplomatic restraint. He shows

He is a thug. He rules Iraq by terror.

So, you are saying that a mental defective, like Bush, can override the UN??

Then please share them with us. Frankly, I cannot come up with a single
reason that justifies cutting short the hunt for Bin Laden to run after
Saddam, let alone spend millions of dollars and hundreds of American lives -
not to mention Iraqis.

You honestly believe they stopped the search for Bin Laden? Don't you
remember all the reports where they thought they were closing in on him?
Talk about twisting! You must base what you believe is going on by what the
liberal press tells you. If you were on the inside and part of those seeking
Bin Laden you would not make such STUPID statements. Some of these post make
me laugh. The word "Blind" comes to mind.

They didn't stop, but they didn't go after him full time either. Instead of
100K+ troops in Iraq, how about 100K troops in Afganistan??? Now
if that had happened, I could say Bu**** was actually doing something.
We only have about 10K troops "looking for BL." And, that includes
trying to keep Afganistan stable. What a joke.
