That seems to be what this Arianna Huffington moonbat is saying.

As it's inconceivable that liberals could lose any election, it must be the case that the 2000, 2002, and 2004 elections were stolen. He's kind enough to give us one more chance to demonstrate we're not cheating -- by losing -- and then he wants to go Ukrainian on us.

The New York Times apparently sees nothing wrong with disclosing the existence of two vital national security programs, but deems the non-outing of a non-undercover CIA agent a grievous threat to this nation’s survival. So much so that in the minds of its editors it merits indicting everyone from Dick Cheney on down.

Although their hopes ultimately proved groundless, the left still managed to make hay out the Valerie Plame affair. They even succeeded in destabilizing the administration for a time by hamstringing some of its most capable operatives. It would, however, be short-sighted not to see that the trouble was entirely of the administration’s own making.

To begin with, the investigation should have never been allowed to proceed in the first place. If you remember, Patrick Fitzgerald obtained his mandate only after Attorney General John Ashcroft recused himself citing a potential conflict of interest. Rather than this being an act of magisterial uprightness, it was in fact a dereliction of duty. We are at war and at this critical time the attorney general has no business of stepping aside when spurious charges are being leveled against the administration.

Rather than giving a free hand to the detractors, Mr. Ashcroft should have launched a probe into the apparent attempts in some government agencies to undermine this nation’s war effort. As far as the matter of Ms. Plame was concerned, Mr. Ashcroft should have looked into it himself and had he seen any reason for concern appoint an honest man to conduct an inquiry. But instead he fumbled and the ball was snatched by Patrick Fitzgerald whose sham investigation kept distracting the administration from the pressing task of fighting the war whose issue will decide our future.

In a more peaceful period it may have been entertaining to watch liberals quivering with hope at the prospect of Fitzmas only to be bitterly disappointed when if failed to arrive. But these are very serious times and there should be no place for people like Mr. Fitzgerald to be conducting inquiries occasioned by nothing more than specious partisan accusations.

...We must insist that the president do his duty and prosecute those who have so badly undermined our national security. Failure to do so would be a betrayal of the Constitution which expressly mandates the executive branch to act in such situations. To honor its constitutionally assigned duties, the administration must spring into action and launch a criminal probe. We are in the midst of a war whose outcome will decide whether we survive as a nation, and this president needs to come to terms with the obvious fact that there are traitors among us. This is not unusual, for there are traitors in every war. But whereas in the wars past they were dealt with just severity, today they are given a free pass. So brazen have they become that they even award themselves the Pulitzer prize for their acts of treason.

Those at the New York Times have shown complete disregard for this country’s national security and by disclosing vital programs seriously diminished our ability to persecute the war on terror. The vast majority of Americans cannot but be enraged by these acts of treachery. It is time for the president to do his duty and bring to justice those responsible. Once he begins this work, the nation will cheer him on.

Jun 29, 2006 — MULTAN, Pakistan (Reuters) - Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend with a glass lightbulb in his anus.

Wednesday night, doctors brought Mohammad's misery to an end after a one-and-a-half hour operation to remove the object.

"Thanks Allah, now I feel comfort. Today, I had my breakfast. I was just drinking water, nothing else," Mohammad, a grey-beared man in his mid-40s, told Reuters from a hospital bed in the southern central city of Multan.

"We had to take it out intact," said Dr. Farrukh Aftab at Nishtar Hospital. "Had it been broken inside, it would be a very very complicated situation."

Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn't know the bulb was there.

"When I woke up I felt a pain in my lower abdomen, but later in hospital, they told me this," Mohammad said.

"I don't know who did this to me. Police or other prisoners."

The doctor treating Mohammad said he'd never encountered anything like it before, and doubted the felon's story that someone had drugged him and inserted the bulb while he was comatose.

\/\/hatever, Mohammed...

The Associated Press calls these clowns “hackers,” but they’re really the lowest link on the net parasite food chain, script kiddies with beards, using commonly available brute force cracking tools to exploit known website vulnerabilities: Arab hackers shut down Israeli sites.

JERUSALEM - Pro-Palestinian hackers shut down hundreds of Israeli Web sites as Israeli troops invaded southern Gaza after the abduction of an Israeli soldier, an Israeli newspaper reported Thursday.

The Jerusalem Post said about 700 Web sites were shut down early Wednesday morning in the campaign. Their home pages were replaced by the message, “Hacked by Team-Evil Arab hackers u KILL palestin people we KILL Israeli servers.”

By early Friday, all the Web sites mentioned in the report were back in service. The report could not be independently confirmed.

Among the sites mentioned were Israel’s largest bank, Bank Hapoalim, as well as a hospital in Haifa, BMW Israel, Subaru Israel and Citroen Israel.

The paper reported that the hacker team, with at least six members, is apparently based in Morocco and began attacking U.S. government Web sites in 2004.

This is a wake-up call to everyone who runs a website that expresses a non-jihadi opinion, however. Start getting very familiar with security issues, and research the security holes in any open source or PD software you’re using. I’ve made it a priority at LGF ever since developing the LGF system.

Pelosi Responds to Supreme Court Decision on Guantanamo Military Commissions

Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today following the United States Supreme Court decision that trying Guantanamo detainees before military commissions violates U.S. law and the Geneva Conventions:

“Today’s Supreme Court decision reaffirms the American ideal that all are entitled to the basic guarantees of our justice system. This is a triumph for the rule of law.

“The rights of due process are among our most cherished liberties, and today’s decision is a rebuke of the Bush Administration’s detainee policies and a reminder of our responsibility to protect both the American people and our Constitutional rights. We cannot allow the values on which our country was founded to become a casualty in the war on terrorism.”

Uh Nance? The people in Gitmo are NOT American citizens, nor were they captured on American soil. They don't even qualify as "Enemy Soldiers" according to the Geneva Conventions.

Idiot.

 Update:

Found this posted on LGF by spinoneone:

Let's not get too hot on this. If: 1) Geneva applies then these guys are in Gitmo until either hell freezes over or Osama signs a deal, because as POWs they do NOT get a trial no matter what the yapping heads are saying on CNN at the moment; or, 2) Congress specifically authorizes a court of some sort for the Gitmo 450 because the boys at SCOTUS said Congress has not authorized any sort of court for the Gitmo gang; or, 3) Bush declares them all partisan terrorists and therefore subject to the full force of Geneva -- and executes them. Any of the three possibilities will end the problem.

Excellent point. 

Supreme Court blocks Bush, Gitmo war trials.

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that President Bush overstepped his authority in ordering military war crimes trials for Guantanamo Bay detainees.

The ruling, a strong rebuke to the administration and its aggressive anti-terror policies, was written by Justice John Paul Stevens, who said the proposed trials were illegal under U.S. law and international Geneva conventions.

The case focused on Salim Ahmed Hamdan, a Yemeni who worked as a bodyguard and driver for Osama bin Laden. Hamdan, 36, has spent four years in the U.S. prison in Cuba. He faces a single count of conspiring against U.S. citizens from 1996 to November 2001.

The ruling raises major questions about the legal status of about 450 men still being held at Guantanamo and exactly how, when and where the administration might pursue the charges against them.

It also seems likely to further fuel international criticism of the administration, including by many U.S. allies, for its handling of the terror war detainees at Guantanamo in Cuba, Abu Ghraib in Iraq and elsewhere.

Let's just hang those Marines accused in the Haditha incident. Get it over with. They don't need a court martial. They're guilty. The media already decided the case.

A few other Marines and soldiers are also accused of murder in Iraq. Save our tax dollars. Just hang them, too.

Forget the stresses of combat. Forget that war really is hell. Whatever you do, don't mention the atrocities committed by the terrorists or insurgents.

Those two young American soldiers tortured to death a few weeks ago? Bury that story fast. The terrorists are the good guys. We're the only torturers.

Don't close Guantanamo. Put our troops in the cells. There's no surer way to quell the media's outrage over Gitmo than freeing the terrorists held there and filling it with our soldiers. Don't worry about individual charges. Collective guilt applies.

Ignore history. Let's pretend that warfare can be waged with absolute sterility, without so much as giving the enemy a broken fingernail. War isn't about fighting. It's about making people happy.

Civilian casualties? The thousands of Iraqis slain by terrorists were legitimate targets. Iraqi civilians are only innocent victims when Americans kill them.

And avoid the true potential parallel with the Vietnam War--after we cut and ran those peace-loving Communists killed at least ten million civilians in cold blood in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.

Let's all get on-message: America is the real evil empire, American troops are homicidal maniacs, and the world would be a better place if we just surrendered and let a non-partisan committee of Islamists, Chinese, Russians and Europeans run it.

Think of how much better off the world would be without us: If American-imperialist thugs had stayed out of World War II, we wouldn't have that nasty Israel problem. The European Union would've come into being decades earlier (speaking German, but what's not to like?). The Japanese would've solved China's over-population dilemma. And the Soviet Union would still be building the workers' paradise.

As for Iraq, not only should we get out now and let all those flower-child terrorists, insurgents and militias inaugurate the Age of Aquarius, we must get our barbaric troops under control.

That means punishing a young Marine if he so much as writes a playful song about the war that turns into an internet hit. Forget the real lyrics to "Mademoiselle From Armentieres," or that old marching song from the Philippines, "The Monkeys Have No Tails in Zamboanga." Forget all those hilarious "Jody" calls and cadences. Just punish that guy with the guitar and the sense of humor (the WWII cartoonist Bill Mauldin should've stood trial at Nuremberg).

Thank god we have the media to tell the world how rabid we are. And we won't mention what would happen to every journalist in Iraq tomorrow if our troops disappeared overnight. Bad taste to hint that our enemies might not be champions of free speech. And let's not pile on while the press is still mourning Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

Okay, now let's be serious: I do not condone criminal acts in wartime. If any of our soldiers or Marines charged with murder or other serious crimes are found guilty, they should be sentenced accordingly under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

But let's give them a fair trial first. And let's remember that an act committed in the heat of battle is different from walking into a McDonald's and killing a half-dozen people for meth money.

Isn't it remarkable that, to the media, our troops are guilty until proven innocent, while our enemies are innocent even after they're proven guilty? Compare the media feeding frenzy over Haditha with the utter lack of detailed human-interest reporting on the thousands of victims of terrorist atrocities. And just wait: In no time, we'll hear that those terrorists arrested last Thursday in Miami were unfairly entrapped by the feds.

There is no question: Discipline must be maintained within our military. And discipline is maintained. Anyone who knows anything about wars throughout history has to be astonished at how few criminal incidents our troops have been involved in during their time in Iraq. We have a humane, magnificent military. Given the nature of counter-insurgency operations, we've set a statistical record for good behavior.

Our troops will never be given credit, though. To get the media's attention, an American soldier must die, suffer a crippling wound, or commit a crime.

Pfc. Kristian Menchaca and Pfc. Thomas L. Tucker were kidnapped, tortured and slaughtered while on patrol. Their mutilated bodies were found dumped on the roadside and wired with bombs.

Just so we're on the same page, by mutilated I mean: They had their eyes gouged out, their limbs had been hacked off, they were beheaded and some reports indicate their genitals had been removed and stuffed in the mouths of their severed heads. Their bodies had been savaged to the point of not being recognizable – DNA testing was needed to ensure proper identification.

Were there rushed resolutions put forth by Congress condemning this animalism? Of course not. What we saw was John Kerry, D-Mass., from the bowels of Congress (sarcasm intended), lecturing the newly formed Iraqi government on its need to engage in self-help – while lecturing America on its need to "cut and run." His timeline for "cutting and running" had gone from Dec. 31 at the beginning of the week to July 2007 three days later – showing even his diatribes are fraught with indecision.

Dick Durbin, D-Ill., Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., Harry Reid, D-Nev., et al. expressed not one word of outrage at the swine who perpetrated these atrocities – not one – zip – nada. They were too busy assailing the president, the Iraqi government and the troops for war crimes. There was no condemnation from the "Hollywooders" either.

John Murtha, D-Pa., wasn't even willing to acknowledge a half-ton of ordnance was responsible for killing Abu Musab al-Zarqawi – waiting instead to see if there would be opportunity to further bastardize our troops as barbaric murderers raging out of control, slaughtering innocent civilians. I digress to say, if Murtha is so averse to our military, he should stop collecting his military pension and benefits. In that there is talk he has aligned himself with the group Code Pink, they can pay his pension. After all, if they can give $650,000, as has been alleged, to terrorists in Fallujah – Murtha's compensation wouldn't amount to a hill of beans (pun intended).

From the book Anti-American Terrorism and the Middle East (a collection of source documents and statements from key militant Islamic figures), the late unlamented Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (subject of a recent gushing photographic tribute at the BBC) answers the question, “Is Islam a religion of peace?” (Hat tip: Brazilian Neocon.)

Islam is Not a Religion of Pacifists
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, 1942

Islam’s jihad is a struggle against idolatry, sexual deviation, plunder, repression, and cruelty. The war waged by [non-Islamic] conquerors, however, aims at promoting lust and animal pleasures. They care not if whole countries are wiped out and many families left homeless. But those who study jihad will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world. All the countries conquered by Islam or to be conquered in the future will be marked for everlasting salvation. For they shall live under [God’s law]. ...

Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does that mean that Muslim should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill the [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us? Islam says: Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender [to the enemy]? Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to paradise, which can be opened only for holy warriors!

There are hundreds of other [Koranic] psalms and hadiths [sayings of the prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.

Well.

Any more questions?

Now, the West is learning what it is to live under tyranny, how precious freedom is and how easily it is lost. Freedom of everything, including Patriotism.

We, here in Poland, went through it and in recent memory as well. Any sign of free Patriotism and Liberty were seen as enemy activity against the state. And a little further back (still within living memory of our older folk), our Flag, our Eagle and our language were Verboten or on the way there. Not to mention any sign of Patriotism.
I am sorry to see that of all places Great Britain is being forced to rescind its nationhood and Liberty. The French gave up on theirs a long time ago, but the Brits?

As a former inmate of the Global Workers' Paradise I offer a word of advice to my British friends:
Don't go there. Nip it in the bud. Once you let it start, it will prove nigh on impossible to stop. If you give any tyrant (and Islamonazis in particular) ANY portion of a finger they will cut out your liver.

And before anyone says that this situation is different, let me tell you this. Poland lost her independence for 120 years in the late 18th century under the Partition for several reasons. 1) inept politicians, 2) ineffective government, 3) traitors in hock to Russia, Prussia and Austro-Hungary and 4) strong political peer pressure and ostracism against those who dared to call enemies by name, point out responsible politicians and suggest changes.
Sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it?! We've got 1 and 2. Change 3 to Islamonazis and 4 to political correctness.

WESTERNERS, PLEASE DON'T GO DOWN THIS ROUTE. WE'VE BEEN THERE AND NEITHER THE JOURNEY NOR THE DESTINATIONS ARE NICE."

Following threats by extremist Islamic group, several corporations, chain of pubs ban England flag
Modi Kreitman

Following warnings by extremist Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, in which the group said that the red cross in the England flag symbolizes the 'blood thirsty crusaders' and the occupation of Muslims, some of the largest companies in England have ordered their workers not to wave the flags.

The flag has recently appeared in England on everything from bikinis to cars, and sold in endless versions in stores.

But the Islamic protest forced some corporations, such as cable companies NTL, Heathrow airport in London, and even the Drivers and Vehicles Licensing Agency to ban the flag in every form due to fears from reactions of Muslims.

The Sun tabloid newspaper has in recent days launched a campaign to bring back the flag, and has published a blacklist of companies preventing their workers from expressing their patriotism at work.

The hero of the day is a two year-old toddler, who was thrown out with his parents from Leicester, because he wore the England team's uniform.

Welcome to Dhimmitude.
