The Saudis have been playing a double game since 9/11, maintaining their alliance with the U.S. while aiding the jihad worldwide; now [Senator Arlen] Specter and the bill’s other sponsors are trying to put a stop to the duplicity.
... the Saudi Arabia Accountability Act of 2005 could change all that. It calls upon the Saudis to take genuine anti-terror steps, including to cooperate openly and fully with American anti-terror efforts; to close all “charities, schools, or other organizations or institutions” both inside and outside the Kingdom that aid in terrorism anywhere around the world, “including by means of providing support for the families of individuals who have committed acts of terrorism.” And it calls for sanctions to punish noncompliance. Such measures are the only way that Saudi Arabia could today become a genuine ally of the United States. Senator Specter and the other senators who sponsored this bill are to be commended — and every American should hope that their efforts bear fruit.
This bill is much-needed.
NO SURPRISE HERE: Hillary’s against a Constitutional amendment to ban the burning of the U.S. flag.
What kind of madness is this?
WASHINGTON (AP)——The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people’s homes and businesses—even against their will—for private economic development.
Why should this Court increase the power of the state to seize the property of the people?
This is what’s wrong with the Supreme Court changing the laws of this land in the guise of aggressive interpretation of the Constitution. The Supreme Court sucks at making laws. This decision is a monstrosity. With this decision the Supreme Court is encouraging the very animosity it has been designed to resolve.
It’s not unreasonable to view this as a power grab by the Supreme Court itself, as it will inevitably create conflicts which the court system will then be able to rule on.
The Supreme Court is abusing its authority so as to increase its own dominance of American life.
We’re going to have to do some thinking about how to get the Supreme Court back on track.
This is most likely why we’re hearing less and less about Iraq in the press. Things are improving there very rapidly, and MSM wants to keep you from finding out about it:
Your editor returned to Iraq in April and May of 2005 for another embedded period of reporting. I could immediately see improvements compared to my earlier extended tours during 2003 and 2004. The Iraqi security forces, for example, are vastly more competent, and in some cases quite inspiring. Baghdad is now choked with traffic. Cell phones have spread like wildfire. And satellite TV dishes sprout from even the most humble mud hovels in the countryside.
...What the establishment media covering Iraq have utterly failed to make clear today is this central reality: With the exception of periodic flare-ups in isolated corners, our struggle in Iraq as warfare is over. Egregious acts of terror will continue—in Iraq as in many other parts of the world. But there is now no chance whatever of the U.S. losing this critical guerilla war.
Read the whole thing.
How easy it would be for MSM to run that story! But they don’t.
In their continuing efforts to control what you think and how you vote, MSM has chosen to suppress this information.
MSM is now as distinguished for hiding the news as it is for reporting it.
The number of stories they are hiding is about as great as the number they’re publishing.
The boy’s parents said he told them he saw searchers on the path he was on several times and each time he hid from them because he feared they might kidnap him.
“His biggest fear, the told me, was that someone would steal him,” Jody Hawkins said.
“He gets very focused on something,” she said of the two thoughts that went through his head: stay on the trail if you get lost and “don’t talk to strangers.”
His father, Toby, said they never discussed how that should be changed if you get lost.
“This may have come to a faster conclusion had we discussed that,” he said.
HOSPITAL SUPERBUGS. You really do have to be careful when you go to a hospital.
ROVE CRITICIZES LIBERALS ON 9/11:
“Conservatives saw the savagery of 9/11 in the attacks and prepared for war; liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers,” Mr. Rove, the senior political adviser to President Bush, said at a fund-raiser in Midtown for the Conservative Party of New York State.
...”Has there ever been a more revealing moment this year?” Mr. Rove asked. “Let me just put this in fairly simple terms: Al Jazeera now broadcasts the words of Senator Durbin to the Mideast, certainly putting our troops in greater danger. No more needs to be said about the motives of liberals.”
Bingo.
