Nancy Pelosi in Tears !

By Zardoz Z. Bachman

During an interview with Tim Russert on Meet the Press, the head of the House Democrats Nancy Pelosi was in tears after Tim Russert pointed out that her draconian remarks are bordering on hatred for the President and in fact putting American lives at risk. When he confronting her with remarks from Senator Tom Delay(R), who very pointedly criticised Sen. Pelosi for making comments to undermine the President’s authority as Commander in Chief in front of the troops — her tear ducts began to emit copius ammounts of moisture. At one point, Pelosi took out a hankie and dried them, recognizing, perhaps, that her remarks may indeed have been over the top and in fact potentially giving moral support to the enemy. At the very least it made the viewer wonder just how far this deep hatred lies for the President by the Minority leader. The display of emotionalism does nothing to inspire strength from the Democratic side of the aisle. Making one ask about the motivations behind such leadership. What would they have done differently when we were held hostage by the US Security Council given the information at hand at the time on WMD from MULTIPLE national intelligence agencies.

The Democrats are going down a slippery slop here. Their anti-war rhetoric on the left does not wash with Kerry’s NON STANCE on Iraq which is fundamentally no different than that of the President. What specifically would he be doing differently if indeed he does not believe in pulling out ? He has NOT committed to pulling out, or providing a deadline for pulling out. How is this different to the President’s policy and strategy?

Pelosi’s display indicates the undercurrent level of weakness being projected by the left in the Democratic party. This hurts them. Does mainstream America really want that level of emotionalism during a conflict? The party of “cut and run” is how they are beginning to be branded. The yellow party. Kerry is in a box. There does not seem to be any clear plan from the democrats except to BASH BUSH at all costs as though somehow this will cause Republicans and Independents to vote Democratic ! What shallow thinking.

Al Gore — is antoher prime example. Going on a Dean like rant, openly criticizing the leadership and the entire administration this past week in an effort to energize the left side of the party and inject some emotion in the so far boring campaign for the Democrats, ala Kerry’s persona. Talk about giving terrorists a reason to rally! The Gore speech was a text book case of it. This would have been unheard of from a former senator during WWII in the 40’s ! What happened to America’s nationalism and support for their President in a time of national attack? The islamic terrorists MUST feel that they are getting traction on the psychological warfront here in the states. Raising the spector that perhaps a signficant act over the summer will help tip it over the edege as it did in Spain to support their agenda. The current rhetoric on the part of democrats are putting us ALL at risk ! Indirectly increasing the likely hood for a another tragedy as the enemy now sees the door opening in American resolve as open criticism of the President from top ranking congressional leaders increases. Fueling hope that Bush will be gone in November and achieving a moral victory over the U.S. Will they be right ? Or will Americans support each other, democrats and republicans and get behind our current leadserhip as we did in the early months after 9/11 BEFORE party politics reared it’s ugly head? Time will tell. Let’s stop playing into the hands of the enemy. Work quitely behind the scenes with the President. In my opinion, remarks from high government officials which give comfort and aid to the enemy, are unnacceptable from a minority leader in a time of conflict. If anyone should resign it should be Nancy Pelosi - zzb

Kerry: More Troops Would Protect Enemies from Abuse

ScrappleFace: Kerry: More Troops Would Protect Enemies from Abuse: “2004-05-28) — Democrat presidential hopeful John Forbes Kerry today promised to add 20,000 more Military Police to the U.S. force to help protect enemy prisoners from abuse by existing troops, and another 20,000 to protect American civil rights at home.

‘We have enough troops assigned to killing the enemy,’ said Mr. Kerry, ‘but there’s a yawning dearth of troops to keep an eye on the troops, and to watch ordinary Americans at home to make sure they have enough civil rights. If elected, I will station troops overseas to monitor our soldiers, and soldiers on the streets of major American cities to enforce human rights.’

Mr. Kerry conceded that, eventually, even more troops would be needed to monitor the behavior of the MPs and stateside ’street monitors’.

‘If we’re going to occupy cities like Baghdad, Najaf, Boston or Kansas City,’ he said, ‘we need to ensure that we’re adhering to the highest ethical standards to avoid a repeat of my experience committing atrocities in Vietnam.’” - Scrapple Face

Kerry is really reaching here. Left wing democrats want us to cut and run out of Iraq. Kerry however wants to add more troops… TO PROTECT IRAQI PRISIONERS from our soldiers !! He wants to add soldiers to watch other over our soldiers and protect prisoners ? — How about adding more troops to kill the enemy ?? His logic is disgusting !! To say this on a day we dedicate a memorial to WWII veterans ! It is like slapping the military across the face ! What are your thoughts? - zzb

Kerry Flips Again !

My Way News: “WASHINGTON (AP) - Bowing to pressure, John Kerry decided Wednesday to accept the nomination at the Democratic presidential convention in July, scuttling a plan to delay the formality so he could narrow President Bush’s public money advantage.

He turned quickly to his backup plan, issuing a statement with a blunt appeal for campaign donations that could go to national and state party organizations.”

Here is a guy that clearly blows with the wind. This article is a real time example of the kind of leader he will be. He is running on a “vote for me I am not George Bush” strategy. Will that really work ? What new ideas does Kerry present to the country ? Any one know ??

HoustonChronicle.com - Despite bike spill, Bush celebrates with daughter

HoustonChronicle.com - Despite bike spill, Bush celebrates with daughter: “AUSTIN — President Bush, slightly injured after a mountain bike mishap at his Crawford ranch, had dinner Saturday night in Austin to celebrate daughter Jenna’s graduation from the University of Texas.

Bush was riding his bicycle downhill near the end of a 17-mile ride when he fell off, suffering abrasions to his face, right hand and both knees, according to spokesman Trent Duffy.

Bush was wearing a bike helmet ” - Houston Chronicle

This will not be the only spill the President is likely to take this year. If the situation in Iraq does not stabilize by August, he will have fallen right out of office. If the Iraqi situation does stabilize, and he deals with the so called prisoner “abuses” quickly and fairly, GW and the republican party will make it through. Much depends on what image Kerry can conjure up for himself given the economy is growing. Mr. President, better keep the helmet and shin guards on ! Main Street media will be his biggest adversary. –zzb

A Rumor to Watch… Syria / North Korea / WMD ?

By Zardoz Z. Bachman



There is some speculation that the North Korean train explosion a few weeks ago had more to it than meets the eye. During one of the morning news shows this Sunday 5/16/04, a correspondent said that some sources indicate that Syrian government agents were aboard that train. Curiously the North Korean army responded in “chemical and bio-hazard” suits to one section of the derailed train. According to that reporter, there are un-confirmed reports that warheads might have been on board that train for destinations unknown when the accident occurred. The war heads were allegedly capable of delivering chemical or biological payloads.

It was also implied that Syrian involvement may be linked to the WMD rumored movements from Iraq to Syria weeks before the Iraq war began. One may recall some accounts that truck convoys were being monitored by US intelligence agencies during the weeks leading up the present conflict.

Draw your own conclusions. Especially if these rumors have any validity. If this is indeed the case… we need to wrap up Iraq and start drawing up plans with Israel to deal with their neighbor. We have not seen or heard anything further, yet this source revealed that this story was unfolding as something being investigated from “reliable sources”. So don’t read too much into it. One must wonder however about Colin Powell’s presence in the area today in Jordan. Could it be possible that there really are links to Syria between these incidents ? Could it only be coincidence ? Is something brewing that may be leaked to mainstream media in the coming days ?…

Next Stop Belmont !

No Doubt this horse has the stuff champions are made of. History in the making as Smarty Jones looks very strong to be the sure odds on favorite to be the first Triple Crown winner in this century !

The Belmont won’t be a push over, but given the fact the this horse pulled away from the field like he did it appears very likely, barring some last minute unknown entry, that Jonesy boy will be wearing a crown in 3 weeks. This horse ran in the final stretch like he had afterburners switched on… the rest of the field looked like they were a sorry lot.
