"WHAT I DID ON MY SUMMER VACATION" BY BILL KELLER
Damn. This is why I love the nuthouse.

How tiresome. What part of treason don't you understand? The deed is done and if I didn't know better, if the AG prosecutes, the NYT is dead. They were warned, from Democrat and Republican alike, all having national security portfolios, not to publish because it does cross the red line. There are no fogs of legal interpretation and the jeapordy of Operation SWIFT for financial gain is treason of the highest order.
Those creatures in the media who will see us die for their vanity and prejudices should be reminded of what this country used to do traitors.

The NYT reporters and its editor Bill Kellor and the publisher Pinch need to do the perp walk. Period.
Treason is treason. Does anyone doubt that FDR would've hestitated to arrest, prosecute and hang any private American enterprise, media or otherwise, that revealed either Magic or Enigma during WWII?
We better forget the Vietnam meme, it is not the rule it is the anomaly. I have no doubt the NYT and the LAT see this as their "Pentagon Papers" moment and the courts will back their right to publish these national secrets.
It is a bet I wouldn't take but they did. Lets arrest, print and book these effin treasonous bastards, close down and confiscate the entire contents of all their offices and printing presses and let them spend every last dime trying to prevent Kellor and Pinch from the fate they were all too willing to let Judith Miller suffer, which she did. Make the bitches scream and let us see whether the have the courage of their convictions.
There is another stream we will have to address, sooner or later. If Americans feel threatened by or are killed and maimed because of these treasonous activities and the most the Feds will do is forever beg on their knees Americans involved in private business to cease and desist from their direly ruinous activity, how far away is direct action?
I only mention it because we already can see an imperious judiciary and an out-of-control legal system that abuses the safety, rights and even livelyhood of Joe Sixpack is now getting blowback big time. Imperious judges and sleazy/incompetent attorneys have been killed and wounded in ever increasing numbers. In the end, if the judiciary, or a private enterprise such as the NYT are allowed to harm America's citizens by abusing the social compact between the citizens and their judiciary, they may have a lot more to worry about than a residency in a federal cellblock.
In this very city where devastation and destruction reached heights never perpetrated by a foreign enemy before on 9-11, the NYT is so effin arrogant to forget and deny that it ever happened and are facilitating a potential future attack. A second time will not be a charm and when the smoke clears, it will be too late to save them from an uncivil surviving citizenry. They would not be safe anywhere in this country.

"TELL THOSE DIRTY FASCISTS TO STOP THE NAME CALLING!"
Rick, better you than me brother. Frankly, I am so tired of the Left's wasted verbiage that in a passive sense its like looking at that satellite photo of NKorea at night, no lights. In an active sense I can imagine that the right must look like the entire fly fishing nation. We're all wearing hip waders and it ain't because we're fishing the Snake.
Let's look at one of this nitwit's propositions:
What was most disturbing was, even in 2000, the way the mainstream conservative agenda was beginning to resemble the politics of longtime racists like David Duke and Richard Butler, the Aryan Nations leader: bashing welfare recipients, attacking affirmative action, complaining about “reverse discrimination,†calling for the elimination of immigrants. Since then, this trend has only accelerated, to the point that old-fashioned haters like Duke and the National Alliance are finding their ranks thinned by followers who just become Republicans.
Okay. Well, which side has as its elder statesman a former Grand Beagle or Empirical Wizard or whatever they call those bed sheet fetishists? When David Duke found his Mother Teresa, was it Elizabeth Dole? Nay, he erected his shrine in dedication of Mother Sheehan. She of the "absolute moral authority" who is an anti-American, anti-Semitic worthless mother who traded fame on her son's grave which she left like potter's field (while pocketing his $250G life insurance) who is an icon for the Left. Is it the same David Duke that claimed redemption with the publication of that neo-con thinktank piece, "The Israel Lobby and American Foreign Policy," penned by two prominent members from the AEI and Heritage? No it was Messrs. Walt and Mearsheimer, from those bastions of liberal rectitude known as Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and the University of Chicago that published that anti-Semitic screed. See, being anecdotal in your case means asinine, and like, NKorea at night.
So call us bigots, racists, facists, house negroes, neo-cons (wink,wink), knuckle-draggers, what have you. In return, we won't let you play in the White House or do anything that requires adult supervision. And, we won't forgive you for taking away the comedians and debasing the worth of documentaries by slavishly classifying Leni Riefenstahl-style propaganda as such and awarding such with your most worthy narcissistic honors.

LA TIMES OFFERS MORE PROOF WHY NO ONE BOTHERS TO READ IT ANYMORE
Okay, anyone up for giving Terry a wedgie?

Now that is the nuthouse's needle and the spoon.
BTW, "Gettysburg" was a great movie in every scene that Martin Sheen wasn't in. He was a horrible Robert E. Lee and as the story goes, he wasn't the first choice. The best was Jeff Daniels as Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.

PREVIEW: TEAM USA VS. CZECH REPUBLIC
The USA team was absolutelty abysmal. You know, abilities aside Team USA plays soccer like, eh, girls except of course our women's team doesn't. Where is that winning attitude that all our other major league sports teams always bring to the game? Talk about deer in the headlights.
Not ready for primetime.
Is this how they coach kids' soccer teams in America? We would've been better off sending a Pop Warner team and let them play without pads and helmets.

SPINNING THEIR WAY TO DEFEAT IN NOVEMBER
Andy,
This is what you wrote and I responded to:
If you look at insurgencies throughout history they are sometimes quelled through force of arms, but never eliminated. In the modern era, western nations have, to put it nicely, a poor track record in defeating insurgencies.
You keep dancing your way around your original statement in your two later posts. Nice two-step there.
Don't like my translated version of "On War?"
One of the online versions translates the following:
War is an Instrument of Policy
the conception that war is only a part of political intercourse, therefore by no means an independent thing in itself
war is nothing but a continuation of political intercourse, with a mixture of other means
It may not be in the original German, but even you can understand the concept.
Yeah okay, you voted for Bush twice but who knows if you're still wearing your dancing shoes.
Sweet dreams.

Andy, instead of doing a tedious fisking, I will attempt to address all your points.
In tackling each of the conflicts in my original posting replying to the utter fallacies included in your previous post, you have nicely proved the Clausewitz dictum "... War is a mere continuation of policy by other means." In fact, it is when the political will fails or peace is accepted that is in contradiction to its own aims, a State has lost at War that it might've in fact won on the battlefield. To observe the political outcomes of the insurgencies is to only point out how victories are achieved without the wholesale genocide of the opposing side. To press the point, unlike the anti-war party (and perhaps yourself) President Bush understands well that is the political ground that victory will be secured, not through force of arms alone. That is why this Administration is so focused on the consolidation and maturation of the democratic process in Iraq. But make no mistake, the insurgency in Iraq will be militarily defeated as we and the others mentioned have done many times before as I stated in my response and in refutation to your original remarks.
By all means don’t rehash the Vietnam War. We abandoned an ally to the depredations of the communist hegemon. If the Democrat anti-war party had supported the RVN as we had promised by treaty, word and deed a free and democratic Vietnam would’ve survived instead of its tragic consequences. Repeat, a political party in America, the anti-war Democrat party, snatched defeat from battlefield victory. BTW, you would do much better if you didn’t rely on popular notions about the Vietnam War, especially considering those who have written about it most profusely supported the anti-war movement and their narratives tend to lean on the failed Tet Offensive (well, not failed if you are Uncle Walt Cronkite, eh?) and then trail off as if it had been our defeat and the remaining years of a free South Vietnam were an interlude before their inevitable desultory defeat. It fits the left's Orwellian treatment of history. Lastly, any war in which the communists were protagonists, cannot generously be called a civil war, whether it is in Eastern Europe or Southeast Asia.

He shoots, he scores! (bad imitation of Marv Albert). The nuthouse and The American Thinker and soon to be radio personality. A man for all seasons
To Zarqawi. Just loose change, eh? Reads just like pure pablam and ignorance. It was an effing day to celebrate and I did. Just a cursory glance at how few good commanders each generation of any conflict can produce, would cluebat you into Zarqawi's importance. If this isn't a tipping point, then you have both eyes wide shut. Not only is he irreplaceable as the leader of the Iraqi insurgency but his death sows absolute despair and doubt in the ranks. As a special bonus, we get his and his sub commanders' (such as they were) laptops, cell phones and documentation. You can bet your booty that as we speak the Zarqawi leadership and cadres are being rolled up like a rug. After winning that big windfall, there is an extra special bonus, the Ba'athist Sunnis are all in there, too. Nah, no big victory here, move along.
Then there is sheer volume of dreck coming from the left in all those posts before me. Thanks to everyone else who laid the smackdowns before I mosied on in. The yeoman's work is done.
So I'll just tackle a little tidbit at the tail end of the comments:
If you look at insurgencies throughout history they are sometimes quelled through force of arms, but never eliminated. In the modern era, western nations have, to put it nicely, a poor track record in defeating insurgencies.
Seriously, you never heard of Vietnam (yes that is not a spelling error, you can read all about it), El Salvador, Nicaraugua (twice) and the Phillippines. Peru demolished the Shining Path and Britain did a bang-up job in Malaya but it was a long war. Most are. The Aussies are doing a twofer, Afghanistan/Iraq and East Timor (second time). They'll be there with us to the end, when we are victorious and they'll do the other as local matter with the same result.
That's just a off the top, but it just further illustrates why there can be no real debate between the left and the right, the real debate is in the big tent on the right. When we argue with you, we get these BS narratives that have no basis in history, fact or reality. Start at the very top and work down and all we see is one ill-informed hyperbolic charge after another, all successfully refuted when there is a mind to. Maybe its because the real truth is the left hampers America in every conflict and always chooses the other side so an alternative reality has to be constantly invented. I mean all the conservatives I know have heard of Ho Chi Minh and Gen. Giap and are familiar with the fact that the US military didn't lose the war but the left did as if they took their instructions straight from Hanoi, or at least Moscow. None of guerilla armies of the Viet Minh/Cong or the regiments of NVA caused the eventual communist victory, it was the Democrat anti-war party with lots of help from from the same damned media that sold out our ally to the communist hegemon and sullied a generation of America's Vietnam War Veterans. The left tried its best again in El Salvador, but you had a different President to deal with and you lost that one. Here we are in Iraq, in the heart of the Middle East where the Islamic war is mainly focused in Iraq and guess which side you guy are on? Again.
