Thursday digest
- Another shameful performance as the Godfather of Hezbollah arrives on a US speaking tour. With the REAL Secretary of State on his way out, things are not encouraging.
- Comparison time. Slick Willie: inauguarated in 1993. First World Trade Center attack: 1993. George W. Bush: inauguarated in 2001. Second World Trade Center attack: 2001. And only now is the microscope being put on Bubba. I think Bill Clinton needs to suck it up and just be thankful that he hasn't had to face any tough questions before now.
- W. has acknowledged the long-rumoured secret CIA prisons in Europe and has pledged to transfer the detainees from those facilities (including the alleged mastermind behind 9/11) to Gitmo. He also acknowledged that information gleaned from these captives led in part to the arrests in London this summer. In other words, what they obtained saved innocent lives.
Some may argue that Gitmo is no better than where these suspected terrorists came from, but I would point those people to the case of Canadian citizen Abdurahman Khadr. Khadr was once imprisoned there but was released after being found to have committed no crime and also for co-operating with Western authorities.
I don't see what's so difficult to grasp about that concept.
If you don't believe me, look it up yourself.
- Finally, here's a great idea: send a Support Our Troops magnet to every loony left pol you can think of, especially Nanaimo-Cowichan's NDP MP Jean Crowder, a woman who I am convinced hasn't worn a bra since at 1970 at the latest.

Because "worrying" gets results, right?
The troops themselves as well as their families are the strongest supporters of the mission to rebuild Afghanistan.
Or, like everyone else in society, do they just not know what's best for them, needing socialists to tell them what truly is?
I'd suggest that the launch of the "Wear Red Fridays" campaign by the wives and other family members of Canadian troops is a good indication of their continued belief in the worthiness of the Afghan mission.
As for O'Connor ... I agree. Islamofascism can't be eliminated by gunshots because it's an ideology and ideologies can only be weakened. Neo Nazism is stil alive 60 years after Hitler's death.
Bob, I am interested. What do you think the role of the Candian Armed Forces is?
Oh yeah, and almost everyone I know in the Canadian army is chomping at the bit to go to Afghanistan.
I think he was saying they can't be completely wiped out ... which isn't reason enough to quit the fight.
I've also never heard of a military commander who DIDN'T say he needed more troops.
Anyways, I think that Chris Farley's Ghost has hit on the bigger issue, which is the role of the Canadian military.
So pull out now, then wait till they rebuild al-Qaeda and at that time, bomb them again? Isn't that kinda like treating the symptom rather than the disease?
Why do you weaken your point at the end by taking a cheap shot at Jean Crowder? Who cares if she wears a bra, and what does that have to do with anything? It is hard to take someone seriously when he shows himself to be a sexist ass left over from some previous century.
