| Last week, the world was told that Syria’s President Bashar Assad is poised to use chemical weapons against his own people in a last-ditch effort to retain power despite his growing unpopularity.[SNIP]In fact, there has been a story around since 2006 that Syria inherited a large chemical weapons stash from its neighbor Iraq when Hussein tried to rid his country of evidence of WMDs just before the 2003 invasion that toppled him from power.That story has received blessed little attention over the years in large part because it would have given credence to the claims of the Bush White House

Comments: Assad equals Saddam equals Morsi equals Khadafy equals Khameini equals madman. No matter which side we are on in the Middle East we are on the wrong side unless we stand with Israel.

An entire industry was built around the "Bush lied, people died" fabrication propagated by the Democrats and their media court eunuchs. In this myth, we learned that Arab dictators are innocent victims of bloodthirsty Republican cowboy-presidents, victims who would never dream of stockpiling WMDs or hiding them from UN inspectors. The people who spread these lies are now in charge of national security. I believe 0% of what they say.

I´m not going to worry about Syria´s WMDs until I see Chemical Ali surface there.
Bush has been vindicated on lots of things.If we had an honest media,his blame for the economy wouldn´t even exist.When you have morons claiming 4.5% unemployment was a failed policy or tax cuts don´t work,only government leeches who don´t want to work believe it.
Now,the more people who get shoved into permanent unemployed status,it actually drives Obama´s approvals up.

Of course there were WMDs in Iraq and were transferred to Syria before the war. This is a very good summary of those events. Must read please?

Up here in MA we have a retired colonel(?)Hunt who has stated unequivocally that those weapons in syria are NOT saddam´s. His reasoning? If they were saddam´s, Pres. Bush would have told us. No one did a follow up question to ask him what all those caravans leaving iraq were carrying.

Some years ago I read a book written by someone whose name I have forgotten but it must have been Gen Sada because the author had been in the Iraqi air force, had defied orders to execute, just as Sada says, and described the planes flying to Syria with weapons of mass destruction. If all this was not known, it should have been known. I read the book and I certainly do not have access to any information unavailable to our government.

In September, 2012, the U.S. government made a special request at the U.N. for help in dealing with Syria´s possession of WMDs (various forms of chemical weapons) that the Zero administration said had been moved to Syria from Iraq just before the Iraq war. President George W. Bush listened too closely to the critics on Iraq, kept postponing the invasion, waiting for UN sanctions, and apporval for the invasion. That gave time for Saddam Hussein to send the weapons to Syria. I suspect that the Bush administration didn´t say anything about the WMDs after the invasion because it would have made them look bad for delaying the war.

Of course President Bush was right about saddam´s WMDs -- but the media decided on the motto "Bush lied -- people died" and that´s the story WE got....
Sooooooo now the truth is coming out and President Bush is being vindicated....
OMG -- WE desperately need grown/ups in the White House....

I think it was the Swedes that released the video of the conga line of trucks going from Iraq to Syria before the war started. The video disappeared extremely fast. Never seen the media move so quick on that one.
The left in this country will never ever be able to admit that Bush was correct. There is not enough duct tape in the country to keep their heads from exploding. I suspect they would vote tea party before admitting that Bush was correct on WMD´s.

C? Swati tolja. and tolja and tolja. Sada said it, and Loftus and others said that the Russians helped Saddam get WMD out of Iraq, and a third author stated that, at the time of our invasion, Saddam´s sons transported weapons from a site north of Baghdad across the border to al Qaim in Syria, where there were transhipped to - I believe- the Bekaa valley.
Shame on the naysayers and the sheep who believed them. Shame on the liberal press and the Democratic swine who were willing to smear George Bush. Someone will pay the butcher´s bill.

The question would be, "where did Syria get these WMD?".
Did they have a Chemical weapons program that the Obama administration failed to detect?
Did they get them from Iraq before the Gulf War?
Did someone else provide them to Syria?
None of these are good outcomes for Obama admin, Sec. Clinton, U.N. Rice, etc...
Either they failed to detect a WMD program, failed to detect WMD smuggling operation, or BUSH WAS RIGHT!

#1 is right.
And don´t forget, Iraq had plenty of time to move its WMDs to Syria (probably with Russian help).
For there was a long interval between the first steps taken against Saddam Hussein in 2002, until the war on Saddam actually commenced.
Iirc, this interval was about 9 months -- during which time President Bush sought (and got) United Nations approval.
Yet the MSM revisionist history is that there was a "rush to war" in Iraq. Nothing could be further from the truth; but sadly, that is what most people believe today.

Not only were chemical/biological weapons moved from Iraq to Syria, our troops in the first Gulf War also were exposed to some of these weapons. I know of more than one Gulf War veteran who has given birth to children with handicaps caused by Saddam´s chemicals. Furthermore, troops were making pre-war sperm donations in case they were exposed to chemicals which cause birth defects. Sadly, some handicapped children were not diagnosed until after a younger child was born, and military parents had more than one handicapped child. I also know of Gulf War vets who had serious post war health problems caused by chemical/biological exposures. Saddam sowed what he reaped.
My concern is that Assad and others are willing to use chemical weapons on American soil as well, hence Obama´s three week vacation to Hawaii. Obama is "getting out of Dodge" for the apocalypse date -- may we ask WHY???

Well, I take heart in the fact that when the Islamist use their weapons on the US they will probably kill the people who voted to trust them
Having the terrorist kill several million US socialist in NYC, LA and San Francisco might be the best thing that could happen to the US. It is much cleaner option than a civil war

When I was a kid, women were demanding “Equal Pay for Equal Work.” Somewhere along the way in the last 50 years, that has been conveniently truncated to “Equal Pay— Period.”At least, that SHOULD be the slogan — if truth in advertising laws could be applied to political posturing — because Equal Pay Day, which falls on Tuesday, April 9, is not about equal pay for equal work, but just about increasing women’s pay arbitrarily as a form of Marxist social engineering.The press release I got from the (George Soros-funded) National Partnership for Women & Families lamented

Last week, I somewhat audaciously proposed a “Restoration Amendment” to free the U.S. Constitution from decades of judicial precedent and neglect and return it as much as possible to the original intent of our nation’s founders.Many readers were grateful for the effort and pitched in with their own ideas for how the federal leviathan could be tamed, but many others were dismal and dismayed — certain that any honest effort to reform the nation was already a lost cause, and that the Constitution was already good enough if only people would follow it.

A recent letter to the editor got me thinking about the origins of our great country, and how far astray we have gone from the principles enshrined in both the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States of America.[SNIP]What was needed was an amendment which both stated plainly its intended goal — to strip the federal government of the power it has grabbed without authority over more than 200 years — and at the same time provided a clear mechanism for restoring America to the principles envisioned by the founders.

Some time ago, a reader presented me with a yellowed newspaper clipping from 1936, which seems to grow more relevant every day.It is a syndicated column by Frank R. Kent of the Baltimore Sun and was written just after the re-election of FDR.[SNIP]Kent’s column is a welcome reminder that the horror conservatives feel today at the willful blindness of their fellow citizens is nothing new. Indeed, I am more and more impressed by the similarities between our current regime and that of Roosevelt.President Obama, although from a very different background than FDR,governs from almost the same sense of privilege.

The much talked-about schism in the Republican Party is better defined as a schism between the lovers of liberty and the lovers of power.But let’s be more specific: This schism is really a love triangle as the libertarians and authoritarians vie for the affections of the American people.It’s nothing new, a spat as old as the political feud between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, but it made for headlines last week when Sen. Rand Paul thumbed his nose at his Republican handlers and went directly to the American people with a real live filibuster on the floor of the Senate.

“The devil,” wrote Shakespeare, “hath power to assume a pleasing shape.” It is just such a devil that has been summoned forth from the still warm remains of Hostess Bakeries in the form of millions of dollars of assistance money being paid out to thousands of former Hostess workers.At first glance, it is a very pleasing devil indeed.[SNIP]But wait a minute. Why should those former Hostess workers get extra help from the federal government when so many other people are out of work, too? What makes this former cupcake maker the Hostess with the mostest?

They say that justice delayed is justice denied.If that is the case, then surely the families of Harvey Mad Man and Thomas Running Rabbit can rightly complain that there is no justice in Montana.The two men were murdered execution style in 1982 by Ronald Allen Smith, who during his trial confessed to the murder and said he had wanted to know what it felt like to kill someone.He also rejected a plea bargain for life in prison and insisted on the death penalty.[SNIP] Maybe we can learn from the case of Eddie Anderson.

What part of “self-evident” don’t Americans understand? Or more to the point, I suppose, what truths in the Declaration of Independence are left that Americans actually DO understand?Somehow, in 237 years, we have gone from declaring the NECESSITY of dissolving political bands with England and explaining proudly why we must do so ... to the current pusillanimous acquiescence to tyranny which we are assured by the villains in Washington, D.C, is better than the alternative.Don’t you believe it.

With apologies to Kris Kristofferson, “immigration reform” is just another phrase for “nothing left to lose,” and as Janis Joplin sang in her version of “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Nothing don’t mean nothing honey if it ain’t free.”Let’s face it, whether you are talking about immigration reform by George W. Bush, immigration reform by John McCain, immigration reform by Barack Obama, or immigration reform by Marco Rubio, all you get is the same old “nothing left to lose.” And maybe, at long last, they are right — maybe we have sunk so low, there is nothing left to fight for.

President Obama’s second inaugural address is now history, and unlike various posthaste pundits, I will reserve to history the right to judge it.Nonetheless, the occasion of the inauguration does remind us that it is wise to be wary of speeches in general, and their grand pronouncements in specific, for oftentimes rhetoric does not reflect reality.Take, for instance, the president’s highly praised 2009 inaugural address.[SNIP]Perhaps the disconnect between the president’s words and his actions comes about because most Americans think of government as a necessary evil to be endured whereas President Obama views it as a means to an end—namely redistribution

What do these all have in common: The Ottoman Empire, the Nazi Empire, the Soviet Empire and the New Islamic Caliphate?If you are a student of history, you will recognize that the first three of these expansionist empires have all been the underlying or overt cause of millions of deaths, and that they were central players in three world conflicts. The fourth empire, which is the only one still extant, cannot yet be measured in terms of the damage it will eventually do, but it is the largest in both geography and population and it is still growing.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- With time running out on the chance to pass gun control legislation, President Barack Obama on Monday warned Congress not to use delaying tactics against tighter regulations and told families of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims that he´s "determined as ever" to honor their children with tougher laws. Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes. Some conservatives have called on Obama to give up golf, especially since popular public tours of the White House have been canceled because of

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.
