The American Spectator

/p>

The only people who have tried to make a direct link between al-Qaeda and Iraq are Democrats like Bill Clinton and leaker of classified documents Democrat Senator Jay Rockefeller. Only fools with their heads buried up their derrieres would question whether the war on terror is a “proper war.” Just read what the terrorists have said and are saying if you seriously doubt this is a war — a war on a larger and more dangerous scale than Democrats, their media stooges and paleoconservatives want to believe. To treat the threat of Islamic terrorism lightly, as did the Clinton administration and Democrats, is to invite disaster as illustrated by 9/11.

It would behoove people to actually read the Geneva Conventions to appreciate how systematic the Bush administration is in adhering to the rule of law. As one now in Iraq it is amazing to see how far things have progressed since March of 2003 when we initially entered the country. The “Bush war” is being won with minimal casualties (averaging less than 800 deaths per year in 5/12 years better than the murder rate in Democrat Philadelphia, Baltimore City, DC and Richmond combined). Even more despite “war fatigue” (boredom) the American public has had to sacrifice absolutely nothing for the war effort not even higher taxes.

p>Finally, Democrats and their mindless automatons feel empowered to lie about President Bush, because too many conservatives have been duped into swallowing their propaganda and spouting liberal clichés about him. By hurting the most conservative President in modern US history, liberals have been able to derail our movement and regain the power they crave. Unlike Bill Clinton, George W. Bush is more concerned with actually governing and protecting America than chasing a legacy. He knows the liberal media, academic establishment and Europeans hated Reagan so he’s in good company. Whether history vindicates President Bush is irrelevant. What is important is that he continues to fulfill his Constitutional responsibility and keep America safe. If the American people think that’s unimportant they can elect Barack Obama and follow the advice of Mrs. John Kerry and “learn to live with terrorism like Europeans do.” br> — Michael Tomlinson br> Habbaniyah, Iraq /p> p> CELEBUTANTE VERSUS WRITER/ACTOR/ECONOMIST br> Re: Ben Stein’s Porn Star for Obama : /p>

I never thought in a million years I’d defend Paris Hilton, but Ben Stein’s “Porn Star for Obama” piece was not worthy of print on your web site. It’s ugly and cruel, and I wonder why Ben felt he needed to watch the Paris’ sex tape video (I’ve not seen it nor do I have any interest in seeing it).
