The Battered 'Dubya'

Washington, DC (TLS). President Bush has really taken a beating of late as there has been little good news to celebrate, with the exception of a roaring economy that boasts the strongest stock market in history, the fact that in less than one week the government has foiled two terrorist plots on our own soil, and that since 9/11 there has not been one single terrorist attack of great consequence against Americans.

With all of this terribly bad news it is easy to see why Mr. Bush would be so battered.

Seriously, it is, in fact, easy to understand why 'Dubya' was been taking a beating in the news. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine, and Newsweek are all making certain that all you hear is the bad news.

Yes, the Leftwing monopoly on the news is still alive and well--and very powerful.

Thus, in spite of the strongest stock market in history, a unusually low unemployment rate, a very low rate of inflation, no terrorist attacks against Americans, and two foiled attempts at terrorism in one week, the President is still viewed with disdain by the mainstream media, and it does all it can to portray him in derogatory terms.

To show you just how powerful and influential the mainstream media still is, consider this: they have managed to turn Americans against the War on Terror and the War in Iraq, in spite of overwhelming support early-on.

Yet they claim we need to bring back the 'fairness doctrine' because some conservative commentator on the radio hurt their itty-bitty feelings.

So, the Left wants to take it over too. They want it all, not just mainstream TV, but they want conservative talk radio as well.

Granted, Dubya has made some mistakes along the way. All Presidents do. Hindsight is 20/20. And there have been times I have been very angry and disappointed with the President, especially over the Border Patrol debacle and the unfair prosecution and imprisonment of two honorable Border Patrol agents.

Yet, I like Mr. Bush. I always have. I believe that deep inside he is an honest man of honor. He has tried to keep his word, even to a fault. He has stuck to his guns, even when it cost him support. This is called leadership.

If the President has one fatal flaw when it comes to politics, it is in one of his greatest strengths. His ability to be decisive and then stick to his guns come thick or thin can easily turn into stubbornness. And in this business one cannot afford to be bull-headed. Flexibility is sometimes in order.

The President is in dire need of some irrefutable good news....not just the good news one expects to hear from Wall Street or conservative talk radio, but good news that the mainstream media cannot ignore--such as the capture or killing of Osama bin Laden.

It is not simply that Mr. Bush needs the good news for the sake of political fortune, but for his own personal sake. The President has appeared tired of late, a far-off look of sadness and longing in his eyes that one is not accustomed to seeing in Mr. Bush. It is clear that being a 'war-time President' in an era of unprecedented danger has begun to weigh heavily on him.

The President needs to know that many of us out here wish for some good news to come his way every bit as much as he does.

KANSAS GOVERNOR LIED ABOUT NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS

Washington, DC (TLS). According to official statistics of the U.S. military, fully 88% of Kansas' National Guard troops are stateside and capable of being deployed in the aftermath of the Greensburg tornado disaster.

This means that Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius lied.

The Kansas Governor has been in a war of words with President Bush ever since she used the tornado disaster as a platform to bash Bush and criticize the war. Sebelius, almost immediately after the disaster, claimed that National Guard troops were not available because 'most of them had been deployed to Iraq.'

This is a complete fabrication and barefaced lie.

In fact, Guard troops are available from a variety of sources, including neighboring states. Only a fraction of National Guard personnel have been deployed to Iraq.

The fact that Governor Sebelius immediately began the blame game after the tornado struck is highly suspicious. But it is a part of a national trend ever since Hurricane Katrina. Blame Bush for all death and injury in the wake of a natural disaster.

This was the modus operandi of the Democratic machine in Louisiana after Katrina. The Louisiana Governor, a U.S. Senator, and the Mayor of New Orleans, all in unison, blamed Bush for the aftermath.

In actuality, had the state of Louisiana and local New Orleans officials following official, written protocol and mandatory disaster policies, most of the residents of New Orleans would have been evacuated before the hurricane struck. Official policy states that school buses are to be deployed as evacuation vehicles in the event of a major disaster. Government officials in Louisiana knew several days in advance that New Orleans would take a hit.

Yet the school buses remained parked in the lots.

And when the storm waters rose, thousands of buses were sitting there flooded under several feet of water--buses that could have been used to save thousands of lives.

At present, there are truckloads of lies being perpetrated by Democrats and Leftists on a variety of issues. Yet to date, no source within the mainstream media has taken them to task.

Why?

Barack Hussein Obama claimed this week that Osama bin Laden was responsible for 10,000 American deaths.

Ahem. Senator, actually, it is less than 3000.

Yet the mainstream media grants him a pass as they always do Democrats. If this had been President Bush, the gaffe would have been blared all over the airwaves, complete with endless jokes by the late-night comedians.

But when Obama does it, nary word.

Who, then, is going to confront Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius about her lies?

Don't hold your breath.

SWORN AFFIDAVIT PROVES ISLAMIC JIHADISTS PLANNED TERROR PLOT

Washington, DC (TLS). A sworn affidavit by an FBI informant, who worked on the plan to thwart a terrorist plot in the making against U.S. soldiers on our own soil, shows beyond any doubt that the men who were arrested were, in fact, Muslim extremists intent on carrying out the Jihad.

In spite of CAIR's insistence that Islam had nothing to do with the terrorist plot, including demanding that news outlets avoid connecting the terrorists to Islam, The Smoking Gun has the goods that prove just who these men are.

A link is provided below that will take you to the website of The Smoking Gun. There you will find a 20-page sworn affidavit, provided by the FBI, that shows that the men who planned to kill in cold blood 'as many U.S. soldiers as they could,' are Islamic Jihadists.

It is entirely irrelevant that the men may not be connected directly with Al Qaeda or any other international terrorist organization, as if this makes them any less Muslim or any less terrorists.

In fact, the document you will read below provides details of the six men using Al Qaeda tapes and other materials by Osama bin Laden as sources of training to carry out this particular part of the Jihad. Whether or not they are actual members of Al Qaeda is a moot point. They nonetheless consider themselves as part of the Jihad, and obviously consider Osama bin Laden as a hero who models for them exactly how to conduct terrorist attacks against the West.

Be sure to read the entire document. It is a real eye-opener. And it erases any doubt that the terrorist plot uncovered by the FBI on Tuesday was, in fact, the work of Islamic terrorists.
