Nuclear Iran Not Complying With U.N. Demands

Well there’s a news flash. Not really. And that useless ElBaradei of the UN nuclear club (IAEA) is already in give-up mode.

IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei is now arguing that diplomatic efforts to get Iran to suspend enrichment may no longer make sense if the Islamic republic has the technical ability to enrich on a large scale, a diplomat familiar with the inspection process told The Associated Press.

What’s the end-game here? Looking for a willing host country to take the United Nations is a start. Ahmadinejad might get that attack he’s been asking and preparing for.

Dems Don’t Want To End War, Not Yet

Ending the war before it is won, which is all the democrats in Washington After losing a vote 67-29 to cut off funding for the war in Iraq, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev. waits in a hallway on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, May 16, 2007, for the Democrat's news conference to discuss Iraq. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) have been talking about, just hit a snag.   Having a chance to do it decisively by not funding it just slipped away.  They only got 29 votes in favor, where 60 would have been needed to override a veto.  Nineteen democrats voted against ending funding for the war, and twenty-eight democrats voted to end funding by March 31, 2008.   So, what does that say about the so-called mandate that Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi claim got them in the majority?  It all kind of goes up in smoke.  It’s exactly what you get when you kowtow to the far left Soros groups instead of ‘the people.’ 

They deceived themselves into believing that they got elected to END the war.  Taking their money and advice from the Soros wing of the party, and having absolutely no convictions of their own, I can see how they got that way.  They don’t want the war to end yet.  Not until they have used it politically to the fullest extent possible, leading up to the ’08 election. After losing a vote 67-29 to cut off funding for the war in Iraq, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nev., left, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., center, and Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., wait for the start of their Iraq news conference, Wednesday, May 16, 2007, on Capitol Hill in Washington. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) End it now, then what if we get attacked in our homeland before the election?   It’s curtains for them for sure.  It comes down to the democrats concentrating more on criticizing the administration than killing our enemy.  For them, Iraq is just a political tool to use to gain political power.  After all, it’s Bush’s war, not ours.  Never mind the 6,400 + casualties so far.  And never mind to our military families that have loved ones in harms way, doing the job we (democrats included) asked them to do.

Winning this war would be a snap if this bunch would only focus on our real enemy, as opposed to their enemy, republicans.

Katie Couric’s Ratings At CBS

CBS is scratching their heads over why the perky one’s ratings are so dismal.  Still in denial over their poor choice, experts look for other reasons, like you.  You sexist, racist white guys don’t like hearing news from a woman.  So says CBS News Senior Vice President, Standards and Special Projects Linda Mason.

I’m just surprised at how, almost 30 years after I worked on the “Evening News” as the first woman producer, that Katie is having such a tough time being accepted by the public, which seems to prefer the news from white guys, and now that Charlie’s doing so well, from older white guys. I guess they want the reassurance of a Walter Cronkite.

Linda, could it just be a lightweight with an agenda that people do not want?  Katie’s brand is power legs and a stack of papers in her lap.  A far cry from Walter Cronkite.  I don’t see a racial component in this equation.  Seems to me they are also in denial about why they have a paucity of minority news readers on the air.  As for Katie, the Canadian cable news program called Naked News may be an option.  There is more diversity there than on CBS.

Putin At It Again

Russian President Vladimir Putin is showing signs of delusion again, this time by comparing U.S. policies to that of Nazi Germany.   I don’t know who he reminds me of most, Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, or Kim Jong Ill? 

The comments were the latest in a series of sharply worded Russian criticisms of the foreign policy of the United States — on Iraq, missile defense, NATO expansion and, more broadly, United States unilateralism in foreign affairs.

 This guy is going the wrong way on a one way street.

Leakers Found Guilty

Great Britain shows that it has a pair, and that it takes the leaking of state secrets seriously.  In Keogh (L) and O'Connorthis country they give awards for leaking state secrets.  

This is an area that Bush hasn’t put enough emphasis, nearly zero.  And this is an area that apparently can only be restarted by Bush’s direct intervention, otherwise republicans and/or democrats would not have let the investigation just end by quitting.  Where’s the media on this? The investigation into the CIA leaks that were published in the New York Times has been called off because; the CIA doesn’t want to cooperate with the FBI, so the FBI says eh!, we can’t do an investigation because they don’t want to be investigated, so I guess the investigation is over.  And this makes sense to who?

As for the two Brits. . .

A civil servant and an MP’s researcher have been found guilty of breaching the Official Secrets Act.
They leaked an “extremely sensitive” memo about talks on Iraq between Tony Blair and President Bush.

Oh boy, two new books coming out.  Or to put it another way, you’ll read about it in their books before you’ll see news of this pair in the mainstream media.

French Fries Are Back

Since the people of France have chosen conservative Nicolas Sarkozy for their next president, in solidarity with their choice and the defeat of socialist candidate Segolene Royal, please be advised that French Fries are now again available at Philly’s.

Freedom Fries have come down, but Freedom never will.

Terrorists Nabbed, HERE

FBI gets six terrorists before they could make a surprise attack on Fort Dix.  Maybe by coincidence, all six are Muslims. No Buddhists, no Christians, no Jews, no whatever else.

Can we know if the Patriot Act played a role in bringing this terrorist cell down?  Sen. Joe Biden would like to know.

Nobody, not even Joe Biden, denies that terrorist cells like this one exist in this country.  And yet, people like Joe Biden want to kill the patriot act, and use the way-back machine to go back to a pre-9/11 mentality on security and defense.  In light of what happened today, I don’t think we’re ready to put down our guard just yet.
