So for the survivors of their war with us, it must be simply astounding that our leaders work overtime to undo what our warriors achieve.
Like the Senate Intelligence Committee that put out a misleading and wholly inaccurate "report" that is either a lie or reflective of the complete idiocy of the authors. I declined to delve into the extensive exercise in obscuring history. Thankfully, somebody had more intestinal fortitude than I:
Democrats and two useful Republican idiots on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) have colluded in a disgraceful sham, published late last week as a report on “whether public statements regarding Iraq by U.S. government officials were substantiated by intelligence information” prior to the March 2003 invasion of Iraq.
All one really needs to know about this exercise in legerdemain is revealed by SSCI Chairman Jay Rockefeller’s diktat — over Republican protest and adopted without a vote — that the Committee would focus myopically on prewar statements made by administration officials. That is, the SSCI opted to overlook the overflowing stream of bellicose commentary, often less restrained, by Democrats.
Do read it all. The abuse of power that the committee majority engineered in the service of partisan political purpose that our enemies are surely stunned to receive as more ammunition in their propaganda war is revolting and unworthy of our Senate. They run the risk of running afoul of McCain-Feingold limits on political advertising with this exercise in erasing history.
Just as amazing from our enemies' point of view is our Supreme Court's ruling that unlawful enemy combatants must have access to our courts:
It has been the objective of the left-wing bar to fight aspects of this war in our courtrooms, where it knew it would have a decent chance at victory. So complete is the Court's disregard for the Constitution and even its own precedent now that anything is possible. And what was once considered inconceivable is now compelled by the Constitution, or so five justices have ruled. I fear for my country. I really do. And AP, among others, reports this story as a defeat for "the Bush administration." Really? I see it as a defeat for the nation.
Our enemies must be dumbfounded that they can gain so much help from within our country even as they get their jihadi asses kicked on the battlefield. No wonder the jihadis believe God is on their side.
This is truly a depressing week for the good guys.
