Bush Foreign Policy Right On

[Craig Read]

The Libs and their useful idiot Howard Dean, with their elite cohorts the BBC, CNN and CBC in full battle array will simply not admit that Bush and the American Congress were right to invade Iraq.

Nary a comment as to the great victories that have been attained since 9-11.

It is hard to believe that serious people can have so moronic and narrow a vision of American national security.

Saddam was an obvious enemy, terrorist funder and destabiliser - and maniac - and he is gone. Libya was another, and it has just retired from the field, suing for peace and giving up its weapons of mass destruction. (Gadhafi went so far as to go on television to urge Syria, Iran and North Korea to do the same.) Iran has also gone softer, agreeing to spot inspections, something it never did before it faced 130,000 American troops about 100 miles from its border.

These gains are all a direct result of the Iraq War.

A spokesman for Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi told the London Daily Telegraph in September that Gadhafi had telephoned Mr. Berlusconi and told him: "I will do whatever the Americans want, because I saw what happened in Iraq, and I was afraid."

Howard Dean - the leader of the idiotic party - states that the US is not safer since the Iraq war - he quotes alerts, escorted planes and casualites. What a clown. Can someone tell CNN and Dean that a war has been going on since 1983. Hello.

Of course we have terror alerts. We will continue to have them until al Qaeda is extinguished, and you do not eliminate in two years a menace that was granted eight years of unmolested growth and metastasis when Dean's party was in power. The Do nothing Clintons are very directly implicated in the current war.

But hush don't tell CNN or the CBC, you might hurt their feelings.

The map is being remade - about bloody time.

Yes and if the Dems go soft on foreign policy and threaten as Dean has done - to pull out of Iraq - or claim as Dean has done - that the war on terror has NOT made the US safer - they will be decisively annihlated and with good reason in november.

It appears that the Dem voters are not as stupid as I had at first thought as well. Kerry is electable. Dean is not. Kerry is smart. Dean is not. Kerry supports pre-emption [though on Meet the Press it was revealed that he supported in the mid 90s cuts to defense spending and cuts to intelligence spending, good one John !], Dean supports isolation.

The American people have been thrown into pre-emption and will never support again, until the war on terror is won, isolation.

If the Dems fight that the war on terror is wrong or going badly, they will be destroyed in Nov.

Electing Kerry gives them a fighting shot, he is too smart to espouse something as stupid as isolationism.

I am VERY glad to see that Weasel Clark is finished.

Cut out the "Weasel Clark" talk, Rasputin. There will be no more petty insults of this manner in this forum.

Weasel is actually neutral, neither perjorative nor positive. Weasel is a both a noun and can be construed as a verb synonym which is closely connected with Evade. The noun weasel is nothing more than a description - albeit one centred upon a small carnivorous mammal with short legs and elongated body and neck [Roget's definition]. Some make excellent pets and are known to be friendly. It is up to one's imagination if the noun is bad or good. Weasel's for instance are great for killing pests. A Weasel can be considered sacred in some cultures and are known to be strong, valorous and loyal - if not really pesky.

So the noun is ambiguous. Turn to the verb function of Weasel. I can say someone is 'weaseling' around for example. What might it mean ? Well for example it might be more polite to say that Clark, who voted Rep until 2 months ago is hiding his true political leanings in order to appoint himself President ? If so isn't that a long winded way of saying 'concealing' or 'evading' or 'weaseling'. For instance to evade which is closely connect to weasel has the following entry in Roget's:

Entry:   evade

Function:   verb

Definition:   avoid

Synonyms:   balk, bypass, cavil, circumvent, conceal, confuse, cop out, deceive, decline, dodge, double, duck, elude, equivocate, escape, eschew, fence, fend off, flee, fly, fudge, get around, hedge, hide, keep distance, lay low, lie, parry, pass up, pretend, prevaricate, pussyfoot, put off, shift, shirk, shuck, shuffle, shun, shy, sidestep, slip out, sneak away, tergiversate, trick, waffle, weasel

Antonyms:   confront, face, meet, take on

Concept:   escape

The verb weasel is a legitimate word to describe someone who is evasive.

If I called Clark his supreme majestic genius that would be better of course though it would be entirely false. Evasiveness is more accurate. I suppose if one appelled to Clark's name 'Evasive' Clark in place of 'Weasel' that might be fine. However that strikes me as rather dogmatic. They both mean the same.

I suppose the posts listing Bush or the US as a rogue and crazy are okay, since apparently being nuts is not connected with being a carnivore with a short neck.

doesnt matter how you rant, this is just another piece in the huge heap of evidence that the US gov is a rouge gov just like any other. controlled by a few crazies.

Rogue in this case is actually rouge, maybe informing us that George W is a cross dresser. Not sure.

So instead of using Weasel to describe Clark we can use tergiversate. It is a word no one knows. We should address his supremeness as; Retired General Former Nato Commander soon to be obliterated Democrat Presidential aspirant and all around Tergiversater Wesley Clark......Well just kidding around. No need to get upset.
