			<title>Hard On Bush, Soft On Terror</title>

			<description>&lt;P&gt;By passing the &apos;Military Commissions Bill&apos; today, the Senate has validated that which was already&amp;nbsp;precedent.&amp;nbsp; That, and the affirmation that enemy combatants can be held until the end of the war, and under the military jurisdiction and control.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So if this war takes 10, 20, 50, or 60 years to complete, then that&apos;s how long they&apos;ll be there.&amp;nbsp; Watching democrats like Kucinich and Leahy demand that enemy combatants (a&amp;nbsp;special class of people&amp;nbsp;they just can&apos;t get a grip on) be given constitutional rights was quite revealing.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;They are whining about constitutional violations when the object of the bill are&amp;nbsp;terrorists, not Joe Blow across the street.&amp;nbsp; They are the ones who believe that the U.S. Constitution is a suicide pact.&amp;nbsp; Well, it isn&apos;t.&lt;IMG height=71 alt=&quot;This picture was proudly swiped from rushlimbaug.com.&quot; hspace=5 src=&quot;http://www.phillysonline.com/lunch_counter/images/2006/09/29/democrats2006.jpg&quot; width=205 align=left vspace=5 border=0&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

			<title>Giuliani Weighs In On The Clintons</title>
			<link>http://www.phillysonline.com/lunch_counter/categories/2006And2008ElectionCycle/2006/09/28.html#a990</link>
			<description>&lt;P dir=ltr&gt;The country&apos;s honorary mayor, Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, takes the high road.&amp;nbsp; Which leaves Bill and Hillary down there.&amp;nbsp; &quot;I know President Bush doesn&apos;t say that about President Clinton,&quot; said Giuliani. &quot;I think the reality is that any American president, if they had known about an attack, would have done everything they could to stop it.&quot; </description>

			<title>Bush and Karzai on the NIE. </title>
			<link>http://www.phillysonline.com/lunch_counter/categories/2006And2008ElectionCycle/2006/09/27.html#a988</link>
			<description>&lt;P&gt;Yesterday, President Bush and Afghanistan&apos;s President Karzai gave a press conference at which Jennifer Loven of the Associated Press demanded to know how Bush can say that the Iraq war has made us safer, when the partially-leaked National Intelligence Estimate says the war has fueled jihadism around the world. We quoted Bush&apos;s answer, as well as Karzai&apos;s contribution, &lt;A href=&quot;http://powerlineblog.com/archives/015383.php&quot;&gt;yesterday&lt;/A&gt;, and video of Karzai was on Hot Air yesterday, too. But Bush was also excellent, and if you haven&apos;t seen it, the video is well worth a look:&lt;/P&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;P&gt;The Democrats evidently aren&apos;t happy with the release of the &quot;&lt;A href=&quot;http://www.phillysonline.com/lunch_counter/2006/09/26.html#a985&quot;&gt;key judgments&lt;/A&gt;&quot; of the National Intelligence Estimate on global terrorism, because now they&apos;ve &lt;A href=&quot;http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060927/ap_on_go_pr_wh/terrorism_intelligence;_ylt=A9FJqZcltRpF2ukAWwis0NUE;_ylu=X3oDMTA2Z2szazkxBHNlYwN0bQ--&quot;&gt;demanded that the White House release the entire report&lt;/A&gt;. &lt;/P&gt;</description>

			<description>&lt;P&gt;Sen. Allen accused by one person, and not from 17 others who knew him from college some 30 years ago, of using the N word.&amp;nbsp; And boy&amp;nbsp;is the left in a political tizzy over that?&amp;nbsp; They have a one-page playbook. Don&apos;t discuss issues, destroy them personally and professionally so you can win by default.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

			<title>Democrats War On Bush, Not Terrorism</title>
			<link>http://www.phillysonline.com/lunch_counter/categories/2006And2008ElectionCycle/2006/09/26.html#a985</link>
			<description>&lt;P&gt;Haven&apos;t heard one peep from anyone wanting to find out who leaked to the New York Times again.&amp;nbsp; The level and preponderance of people willing to commit treason is astounding.&amp;nbsp; Bush isn&apos;t &apos;playing politics&apos; when he says that the leaker, whoever it was, was playing politics by leaking a sentence out of context from a secret report called a National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), to give the wrong impression that that is the overall conclusion of the report.&amp;nbsp; On that point, he is obviously right.&amp;nbsp; If only the democrats would devote half their energy to fighting this war instead of fighting Bush and undermining the war effort and the troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, we may have been out of there by now.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; So for this reason alone, I&apos;m glad the President ordered the key judgements of the report declassified.&amp;nbsp; That&apos;s only fair.&amp;nbsp; Right?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;</description>

			<title>If bin Laden Is Dead, Does That Mean The War On Terror Is Over?</title>
			<link>http://www.phillysonline.com/lunch_counter/categories/2006And2008ElectionCycle/2006/09/23.html#a981</link>
			<description>&lt;P&gt;Great news in the war on terror.&amp;nbsp; According to leading democrats in Washington, getting bin Laden is the goal.&amp;nbsp; So if, as French intelligence (an oxymoron if there ever was one) has it, he is now dead, does that mean that the war on terror is over?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Oh how fun it would be to go back to that pre-9/11 mindset.&amp;nbsp; Somebody better inform the Islamofascists around the world that it&apos;s over.&amp;nbsp; Sounds like a good job for Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.&lt;IMG height=373 alt=&quot;Democrat&apos;s plan for Iraq and the war-on-terror.&quot; hspace=5 src=&quot;http://www.phillysonline.com/lunch_counter/images/2006/09/23/democrats_plan.jpg&quot; width=600 align=left vspace=5 border=0&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) expressed his &apos;extreme displeasure&apos; with comments made by President Chavez of Venezuela.&quot; hspace=5 src=&quot;http://www.phillysonline.com/lunch_counter/images/2006/09/22/rangel.jpg&quot; width=110 align=right vspace=5 border=0&gt;Chavez, who&amp;nbsp;sounds very much like these&amp;nbsp;liberals&amp;nbsp;over the last 4 years.&amp;nbsp; That&apos;s why it is&amp;nbsp;they who are &apos;defending&apos; Bush.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;</description>

			<title>John McCain&apos;s Public Opinion Poll In His Home State</title>
			<link>http://www.phillysonline.com/lunch_counter/categories/2006And2008ElectionCycle/2006/09/18.html#a976</link>
			<description>&lt;P&gt;Am wondering why there hasn&apos;t been any polls taken in Arizona to test the will of the people there concerning the position their Sen. John McCain has taken regarding removing effective tools of the war on terror.&amp;nbsp; So focused on polls and our &apos;image&apos; around the world as McCain and most democrats are, I wonder if the people of Arizona are on board with their Senator, on removing the tools that have saved lives at the risk of costing us more innocent lives?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
