Despite the Democrats in the US and their allies around the world opposed to Bush's Premptive Strike Policy, it seems they now see the value in premption. The Dem Libs now advocate Premption Capitulation which means don't offend terrorists, and they won't bother you.
Now that strategy is the same as saying to criminals, if you don't anger them or upset them, then criminals won't rob, steal, rape, or kill.
Couple that philosophy along with the Murtha Re-deployment of troops to Okinawa to stand ready in the Middle East is pure, unadulterated idiocy.
Premptive Capitulation and the Murtha Re-deployment strategy are the same as waving the white surrender flag.

Iraqi President: USA Presence PREVENTS Invasion
In a speech at the Woodrow Wilson Center, according to Agence France Press, yesterday Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said it plainly, "The American presence has always prevented any kind of foreign invasion to Iraq."
He added, "That's one of the main reasons why we think that we need an American presence even symbolical, in the country, to prevent our neighbors attacking us... I think that our neighbors must understand that our patience is limited... And we mean all of them!"
One more item from Talabani, "The immediate departure of coalition forces would only unleash the terrorists. I cannot promise when or how the American presence will completely end in Iraq but I can promise that American soldiers DO NOT FIGHT IN VAIN!" (emphasis mine)
A quick scan of this morning's New York Times shows no mention of the significant analysis by the Iraqi president.

Uncontrolled Rage
Welcome to an insight into the real Bill Clinton!
George Stephanopoulis has referenced his former boss’s anger as Purple Rage.
Once again the American people were subjected to that wagging finger routine as Bill Clinton lashed out in uncontrolled rage when interviewed by Chris Wallace.
His true temperament should now be apparent as well as his inability to take criticism along with his self glorified perspective on his job as the President.
He dared Wallace to check the Richard Clark book on the facts. Whether Chris Wallace did or not, Mahout cannot say. But Mahout did, and Bill Clinton is trying to lead the American people down a slippery slope with his lies during his Sunday interview. Richard Clark points out that Bill Clinton was completely distracted from dealing with the terrorism issue by his extramarital and sexual liaison with his intern Monica Lewinsky. Richard Clark also points out that the Bush 43rd administration did not demote him, but that he, Richard Clark, himself asked for and received the transfer into the internet intelligence division to focus on the use of the internet in terrorism.
The real truth is this: Bill Clinton cannot tell the truth about himself and his inept presidency.

Bumper Sticker Spotted
Recently spotted bumper sticker was one of an American eagle next to the American flag. The bumper sticker read: "America---protecting Europe's A-- since 1917."
Well stated and right on target.

Missed Opportunities Results in Failed Leadership
The Clinton Administration continues their pursuit of a legacy. Their legacy, however, is not what they want it to appear. While their pursuit is one of grandiose leadership, it actually is one of failed opportunities to thwart the growth of terrorism.
Powerlineblog.com notes a few highlights:
“* January 25, 1993: Mir Aimal Kansi, a Pakistani, fired an AK-47 into cars waiting at a stoplight in front of the Central Intelligence Agency headquarters in Virginia, killing two CIA employees.
* February 26, 1993: Islamic terrorists try to bring down the World Trade Center with car bombs. They failed to destroy the buildings, but killed 6 and injured over 1000 people.
* December 11, 1994: A bomb explodes on board Philippine Airlines Flight 434, killing a Japanese businessman. It develops that Ramzi Yousef planted the bomb to test it for the larger terrorist attack he is planning.
* June 25, 1996: The Khobar Towers bombing, carried out by Hezbollah with Iranian support. Nineteen U.S. servicemen were killed and 372 wounded.
* February 24, 1997: An armed man opens fire on tourists at an observation deck atop the Empire State Building in New York City, United States, killing a Danish national and wounding visitors from several countries. A handwritten note carried by the gunman claims this was a punishment attack against the "enemies of Palestine".
* August 7, 1998: Al Qaeda bombs U.S. embassies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya, killing 225 people and injuring more than 4,000.
* December 1998: Jordanian authorities foil a plot to bomb American and Israeli tourists in Jordan, and arrest 28 suspects as part of the 2000 millennium attack plots.
* December 14, 1998: Ahmed Ressam is arrested on the United States–Canada border in Port Angeles, Washington; he confessed to planning to bomb the Los Angeles International Airport as part of the 2000 millennium attack plots.
* January 2000: The last of the 2000 millennium attack plots fails, as the boat meant to bomb USS The Sullivans sinks.
* October 12, 2000: AL Qaeda bombs USS Cole with explosive-laden speedboat, killing 17 US sailors and wounding 40, off the port coast of Aden, Yemen.
Between 1993 and 2000, everyone who was paying any attention knew that the threat from Islamic terrorism was grave and getting worse. The catastrophic losses that occurred on September 11, 2001, could just as easily have happened in 1993, when the first plot to destroy the World Trade Center was carried off successfully, but the terrorists had miscalculated the effect of their explosives, or in 1995, when the plot to destroy eleven American airplanes in flight was thwarted by counter-intelligence work in the Philippines.
What did the Clinton administration do in response to this grave threat? Essentially, nothing. Worse, Clinton tried to sweep the problem under the rug, lest it disrupt the surface calm and prosperity for which he was eager to claim credit.”
