Saddam had WMDs

Posted by rightwinger on July 7, 2008

550 tons of yellowcake was found in Iraq. From the LA times, dated July 6, 2008:

MONTREAL — The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein’s nuclear program — a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium — reached this Canadian port Saturday, completing a secret U.S. operation that included an airlift from Baghdad and a voyage across two oceans.

The removal of about 550 tons of “yellowcake” — the seed material for high-grade nuclear enrichment — was a significant step toward closing the books on Hussein’s nuclear legacy. It also brought relief to U.S. and Iraqi authorities who had worried that the cache would fall into the hands of insurgents or Shiites hoping to advance Iran’s alleged nuclear ambitions.

Democrat Congressman Delahunt Wants Terrorists to Harm Cheney’s Aide

Posted by rightwinger on June 30, 2008

Democrat Congressman Delahunt is for the terrorists. He wants them to kill Cheny’s aid. Sounds like a traitor to me. We are in a War declared by Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri. On page 47 of the 9/11 Commission section 2.1, it states “A Declaration of War.” In February 1998, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri together issued a worldwide fatwa to all Muslims. The fatwa called for “the murder of any American, anywhere on earth.” Three months later bin Laden went on the say that “it was more important for Muslims to kill Americans than to kill other infidels.” “We do not differentiate between military or civilian. As far as we are concerned they are all targets.”

What About Precedence?

Posted by rightwinger on June 25, 2008

The reality is there is no precedence for allowing enemy combatants the right of habeas corpus. In fact the opposite is true. In the Johnson v. Eisentrager, 339 U. S. 763 (1950) case the US Supreme Court ruled that habeas corpus should not be given to WWII enemy combatants.

JUSTICE SCALIA, with whom THE CHIEF JUSTICE, JUSTICE THOMAS, and JUSTICE ALITO join, dissenting. Today, for the first time in our Nation’s history, the Court confers a constitutional right to habeas corpus onalien enemies detained abroad by our military forces inthe course of an ongoing war. My problem with today’s opinion is more fundamental still: The writ of habeas corpus does not, and never has, run in favor of aliens abroad; the Suspension Clause thushas no application, and the Court’s intervention in this military matter is entirely ultra vires. America is at war with radical Islamists. The enemy began by killing Americans and American allies abroad: 241 at the Marine barracks in Lebanon, 19 at the Khobar Towers in Dhahran, 224 at our embassies in Dar es Salaam and Nairobi, and 17 on the USS Cole in Yemen. See National Commission on Terrorist Attacks upon the United States, The 9/11 Commission Report, pp. 60–61, 70, 190 (2004). On September 11, 2001, the enemy brought the battle to American soil, killing 2,749 at the Twin Towers in New York City, 184 at the Pentagon inWashington, D. C., and 40 in Pennsylvania. See id., at 552, n. 9. It has threatened further attacks against our homeland; one need only walk about buttressed and barricaded Washington, or board a plane anywhere in the country, to know that the threat is a serious one. Our Armed Forces are now in the field against the enemy, in Afghanistan and Iraq. Last week, 13 of our countrymen in arms were killed. The game of bait-and-switch that today’s opinion playsupon the Nation’s Commander in Chief will make the warharder on us. It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed. That consequence would be tolerable if necessary to preserve a time-honored legal principle vital to our constitutional Republic. But it is this Court’s blatant abandonment of such a principle that produces thedecision today. The President relied on our settled precedent in Johnson v. Eisentrager, 339 U. S. 763 (1950), whenhe established the prison at Guantanamo Bay for enemy aliens. have transported prisoners there, but would have kept them in Afghanistan, transferred them to another of our foreign military bases, or turned them over to allies for detention.  Those other facilities might well have been worse for the detainees themselves.

“It will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed.”

Posted by rightwinger on June 14, 2008

This is Justice Scalia’s dissent in the Guantanimo Bay detainee decision 6/12/2008.

Do you want to know the truth??? Before the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Ajaj, one of the bombers who was trained in Afghanistan in an al-Qaeda training camp was stopped by the INS at the JFK airport and was arrested. His lawyers made a motion to have his belongings returned to him including his terrorist bomb making kit that he brought with him from his training at an al-Qaeda training camp. Guess what??? His bomb making terrorist kit was released to another co-conspirator working with Yousef and the 1993 World Trade Center was implemented as planned. Do we really want the justice system handling these terrorists? As Scalia said Americans will die. I hope all the ACLU liberals know that American blood is on their hands.

Read the full article for yourself.

If you don’t believe me about Ajaj’s terrorist kit being returned to a co-conspirator and ultimately Yousef the 93 WTC tactical mastermind, read the court case for yourself.

U.S. V. Salameh, United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit., 4 Aug. 1998, section 154-155

United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York had ordered the government to return Ajaj’s belongings, including the terrorist materials.

Hate Fest at University of California at Irvine

Posted by rightwinger on May 30, 2008

Yes, we have free speech in America, but not when it incites violence. I’m not an expert on the Constitution, but I do remember from my secondary education that yelling “fire” in a theater is considered illegal due to the violence that would ensue with the hoards of people trying to escape. Wake up America!!! Israel is first then they are coming for us.

We should not negotiate with Terrorists

Posted by rightwinger on May 16, 2008

Wake up America! We can’t negotiate with terrorists.

From the Congressional Hearing: 9/11 Five Years Later: Gauging Islamist Terrorism (Serial No. 109–212)

You asked for a status report on all this, Mr. Chairman. I would just say that I think there have been some steps made in the right direction. I am encouraged by some of the statements coming out of the Administration, alas, very lately, about the character of the enemy and the nature of this ideological movement. But much, much more needs to be done. Specifically, I would suggest we need to get this country on a war footing, to mobilize it as we have in the past when we faced similar kinds of problems. We have to. And I commend Congressman Sherman for this. We have to bring coherence to this effort because whether it is the Khatami visit, or whether it is the notion that we can’t negotiate with the bin Ladens of the world, rightly so, but we can negotiate with their Shiia Islamofascist counterparts in Iran is crazy making and, I think, discredits our efforts.

It is imperative, moreover, that U.S. policy be coherent and that still is not always the case. For example, it was striking that, in his excellent speech before the Military Officers Association of America on September 5th, President Bush forcefully explained why it is not possible to appease or negotiate with Islamofascists like al Qaeda and its allies. He then proceeded to show convincingly that the behavior and ambitions of such Sunni extremists are shared by their Shia counterparts led by Iran. Yet, his State Department is actively promoting the notion that we can safely and successfully engage in negotiations with Islamofascists like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the ruling mullahs in Tehran.

What did Obama say in NC?

Posted by rightwinger on May 10, 2008

Meeting with our enemies has not been successful in the past. Specifically this is not recommended in dealing with Al Qaeda. I think Obama needs a history lesson.

In his victory speech after the North Carolina primary, Sen. Barack Obama said something that is all the more remarkable for how little it has been remarked upon. In defending his stated intent to meet with America’s enemies without preconditions, Sen. Obama said: “I trust the American people to understand that it is not weakness, but wisdom to talk not just to our friends, but to our enemies, like Roosevelt did, and Kennedy did, and Truman did.”

I assume the Roosevelt to whom Sen. Obama referred is Franklin D. Roosevelt. Our enemies in World War II were Nazi Germany, headed by Adolf Hitler; fascist Italy, headed by Benito Mussolini, and militarist Japan, headed by Hideki Tojo. FDR talked directly with none of them before the outbreak of hostilities, and his policy once war began was unconditional surrender. FDR died before victory was achieved, and was succeeded by Harry Truman. Truman did not modify the policy of unconditional surrender. He ended that war not with negotiation, but with the atomic bomb. (Real Clear Politics) Read the full article for yourself.

From the September 7, 2006 Congressional Hearing 9/11 FIVE YEARS LATER: GAUGING ISLAMIST TERRORISM:

In order to defeat Al Qaeda the following recommendations are given to Congress:

I would just very quickly summarize some of those
ideological tools or counter ideological tools, if you would, as born
of very much the same sort of mindset that Ronald Reagan used
to defeat the last terrible totalitarian movement with global ambitions;
namely, Soviet communism.
They are, in short, a comprehensive
strategy using energy, financial, legal and security measures,
and integrating them into what might be called a political warfare
program. Its goals should be to undermine and divide the enemy,
to split apart and peel away the enemy’s base, to deny the enemy
the social support infrastructure and, needless to say, the safe havens
that shelter its forces, fund its operations and provide its
cadre, pitting enemy factions against one another wherever possible,
and most especially, discrediting the ideological belief system
that legitimizes its cause

For example, it was striking that, in his excellent speech before the Military
Officers Association of America on September 5th, President Bush forcefully explained
why it is not possible to appease or negotiate with Islamofascists like al
Qaeda and its allies. He then proceeded to show convincingly that the behavior and
ambitions of such Sunni extremists are shared by their Shia counterparts led by
Iran. Yet, his State Department is actively promoting the notion that we can safely
and successfully engage in negotiations with Islamofascists like Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad and the ruling mullahs in Tehran.

Friends and foes alike are affected in ways harmful to our interests by such a
manifest lack of consistency and principle. (One case in point is the recent, increasingly
aggressive behavior of Iran, both directly on the nuclear issue and in Iraq and
through its proxy, Hezbollah, in Lebanon. Another is the deal recently struck by our
putative ally, Pakistan with tribal leaders in its western territories, affording what
amounts to a safe haven there for al Qaeda.) The same applies to the American people. (p.16)

We have to bring coherence to this effort because whether it is the Khatami visit, or whether it is the notion that we can’t negotiate with the bin Ladens of the world, rightly so, but we can negotiate with their Shiia Islamofascist counterparts in Iran is crazy making and, I think, discredits our efforts.

The Weather Underground was working with Communist Countries

Posted by rightwinger on April 24, 2008

More on The Weather Underground. They were actively working with the Communists.

For his part, Ayers wasn’t just a terrorist; he was a communist terrorist aligned with and manipulated by Moscow’s communist apparatus, operating through Cuba, against the United States. Many members of the group traveled to Cuba, sometimes to meet with the Vietnamese communists, and others went directly to Hanoi, North Vietnam. One of their stated objectives was to prevent the U.S. from stopping a communist takeover of Vietnam. They succeeded, with the acquiescence of a liberal Congress, which cut off U.S. aid to the South Vietnamese government, and more than 58,000 American soldiers died in vain.

Senator John McCain was an American prisoner of war being tortured by the North Vietnamese communists while Ayers and his comrades were giving aid and comfort to McCain’s torturers.

The FBI was desperate to apprehend Ayers and his comrades because they were operating with foreign support and direction and the dozens of bombings they carried out between 1969 and 1975 did an estimated $100 million in damage. A policeman had been killed in San Francisco by a bomb planted by the Weather Underground at a police station. Seven others were injured. Eight were injured in the Weather Underground bombing of the New York City police department. Fifty-nine policemen were injured in a riot the Weather Underground promoted in Chicago.

In rebuttal, Obama noted that “President Clinton pardoned or commuted the sentences of two members of the Weather Underground, which I think is a slightly more significant act than me serving on a board with somebody for actions that he did 40 years ago.”

The Soros Connection

One of the terrorists pardoned by Clinton was Linda Evans, who became a “Soros Justice Fellow,” named after the controversial left-wing billionaire, George Soros, who spent millions of dollars to defeat President Bush in 2004. She was given a Soros grant to “increase civic participation of former prisoners.”

This is the same Linda Evans, according to an FBI report, who said that during a trip to Hanoi in 1969 she was shown an anti-aircraft gun, cradled it in her arms, and “wished an American plane would fly over.”

Bill Ayers Unapologetic for Setting Bombs

Posted by rightwinger on April 24, 2008

From the Chicago Tribune April 23, 2008:

“I hear the demand for a general apology in the context of the media chorus as a howling mob with an impossibly broad demand, and on top of that I’m not sure what exactly I’m supposed to apologize for,” he wrote. “The ‘68 Convention? The Days of Rage? The Pentagon? Every one of these can be unpacked and found to be a complicated mix of good and bad choices, noble and low motives.”
