Ross Calloway: War On Terror

Hard On Bush, Soft On Terror

Fri, 29 Sep 2006 05:51:14 GMT

By passing the 'Military Commissions Bill' today, the Senate has validated that which was already precedent. That, and the affirmation that enemy combatants can be held until the end of the war, and under the military jurisdiction and control. So if this war takes 10, 20, 50, or 60 years to complete, then that's how long they'll be there. Watching democrats like Kucinich and Leahy demand that enemy combatants (a special class of people they just can't get a grip on) be given constitutional rights was quite revealing. They are whining about constitutional violations when the object of the bill are terrorists, not Joe Blow across the street. They are the ones who believe that the U.S. Constitution is a suicide pact. Well, it isn't.

Bush and Karzai on the NIE.

Wed, 27 Sep 2006 21:10:41 GMT

Yesterday, President Bush and Afghanistan'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's answer, as well as Karzai's contribution, yesterday, and video of Karzai was on Hot Air yesterday, too. But Bush was also excellent, and if you haven't seen it, the video is well worth a look:

To Change the Subject, Ask for Something You Can't Get.

The Democrats evidently aren't happy with the release of the "key judgments" of the National Intelligence Estimate on global terrorism, because now they've demanded that the White House release the entire report.

Democrats War On Bush, Not Terrorism

Wed, 27 Sep 2006 04:27:13 GMT

Haven't heard one peep from anyone wanting to find out who leaked to the New York Times again. The level and preponderance of people willing to commit treason is astounding. Bush isn't 'playing politics' 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. On that point, he is obviously right. 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. So for this reason alone, I'm glad the President ordered the key judgements of the report declassified. That's only fair. Right?

War In Iraq Increasing Terrorist Threat

The Clinton Show On Fox News Sunday

Mon, 25 Sep 2006 03:59:01 GMT

Well that's what it was. And he was his 'ole self again, when he gets riled up. As he practically leaps out of his chair to get in Chris Wallace's face, and poking him with that famous finger, Bill Clinton said his piece in defense of his efforts to get bin Laden. Also accusing Chris Wallace of doing 'a conservative hit job' on him, as a 'right-winger.' Yup, poor victim Bill, that vast right-wing conspiracy again. All in all, it was a perfect display of a man on a mission to embarrass himself in making excuses and admissions in his 'obsession' with bin Laden. All over this legitimate question, 'Did you do enough to connect the dots and go after Al Qaida?'

If bin Laden Is Dead, Does That Mean The War On Terror Is Over?

Sat, 23 Sep 2006 23:44:03 GMT

Great news in the war on terror. According to leading democrats in Washington, getting bin Laden is the goal. 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? Oh how fun it would be to go back to that pre-9/11 mindset. Somebody better inform the Islamofascists around the world that it's over. Sounds like a good job for Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter.

John McCain's Public Opinion Poll In His Home State

Mon, 18 Sep 2006 13:29:06 GMT

Am wondering why there hasn'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. So focused on polls and our 'image' 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?

Religion Of Peace And The Pope

Some Muslims react to the Pope of centuries ago the same way they react to cartoonists.

Depends On What The Definition Of Torture Is

Wed, 13 Sep 2006 22:52:51 GMT

65 tortured bodies found around Baghdad. How could they tell they were tortured? Do you think they found ipods full of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the bodies, or was it something more acceptable, like body parts ripped off and single gunshots to the skull?
