Never forget

Never forget what the enemy did to us that day and who our enemy is.

The Path to 9/11

I watched "The Path to 9/11" tonight, and I hope that makes any moonbat reading this mad as all get out. And yes, I watched the warning slate at the beginning, and the second one at the 8:35 p.m. mark, and the great Lewinsky lie at 8:51, and the third warning slate at the end at 9:40. Just in case you didn't happen to see them during tonight's broadcast (either because you missed it or because ABC edited them out), here are some important scenes from "The Path to 9/11" via RedState.

For some background material that I'm certain didn't make it into the movie, here is a story about a speech William Jefferson Blythe Clinton (our only elected president to be impeached) gave to the Long Island Association on February 15, 2002 where he admitted that he had the chance to extradite Osama Bin Laden and decided not to. Also, here's a more complete list of opportunities we had to capture Bin Laden. (And more classic Clinton quotes.)

By the way, this post is also a means of helping to diffuse the moonbats' Google Bomb that Brit Hume reported a few days ago.

"Hezbollah fired 140 rockets IN ONE DAY"

But that wasn't the headline. Instead the headline was "Nazareth boys first Arab deaths in Israel rocket attacks". Only when you get to the very last paragraph do you read this:

On Wednesday alone around 140 Hezbollah rockets fell on northern Israel, with almost 1,000 fired since the beginning of the conflict eight days ago.

Here's some good (that is, accurate) journalism from the Aussies: "Photos that damn Hezbollah".

Anybody know where I can find a Hezbollah rocket counter for my blog?

You MUST watch this video

"Islam" does not mean "peace"

It means "submission".

Talking points for al-Zarqawi's death

It seems many in the media want to create their own spin on al-Zarqawi's death. The vile left (sorry, redundant) are creating and using their own talking points on the event. So I thought I'd take a shot. No, I don't expect anyone to notice or even use them. But you gotta be prepared.

Here we go.

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and seven aides were sent to eternity when two 500 pound laser-guided bombs were dropped on them by the armed forces of the United States of America.

TALKING POINTS

1. This is good. A bad guy has been removed from the Earth. No more will he perpetrate acts of evil.


2. This is great. Al-Qaeda in Iraq must now find a new leader. We might see increased short-term, random violence, but the snake has had its head cut off. It must now grow a new one. This is not an easy thing to do. Moreover, growing that new head will provide our side an opportunity to gather better intelligence on the evil-doers as they create their new networks.


3. This is outstanding. The Unity Government of Iraq has been given a tremendous boost. What a great day for freedom and democracy in Iraq. (Sorry to offend all the liberals out there with those offensive words, freedom and democracy.)


4. Do it again. Once again, the world has seen the capabilities of the armed forces of the United States of America in action. There is no better military in the world. Let’s see another example.

In summary: al-Zarqawi is dead. Good. Great. Outstanding. Do it again.

END OF TALKING POINTS

God Bless America.

Moussaoui Verdict: Wrong, Wrong, Wrong

For his involvement in the heinous acts of September 11, 2001, Zacharias Moussaoui has been blessed with life at a taxpayer cost of over $100,000 per year. This is incredibly distressing to me. It means that twelve Americans sat together for days, deliberated a verdict, answered an onerous verdict form, and couldn't arrive at the correct one.

"The correct one" you may ask? Indeed, the correct one. And here is a wonderful argument for its justification from Patrick Buchanan's Right from the Beginning:

A modern society that outlaws the death penalty does not send a message of reverence for life, but a message of moral confusion. When we outlaw the death penalty, we tell the murderer, the rapist, the cutthroat that, no matter what he may do to innocent people in our custody and care, women, children, old people, his most treasured possession, his life, is secure. We guarantee it — in advance. Just as a nation that declares that nothing will make it go to war finds itself at the mercy of warlike regimes, so a society that will not put the worst of its criminals to death will find itself at the mercy of criminals who have no qualms about putting innocent people to death.

How prescient Buchanan was then. And how awful the verdict is today.

Is it any wonder the terrorists do not fear us?
