How bad could the Iraq Study Group report really be? I mean, look how happy it’s made Tim Russert. He’s like a kid at Christmas…….

His speech patterns seem to me to be quite similar to our good buddy Foley.

Someday, we’re going to have to come to grips with the “Gay Mafia”.

It’s as if we invaded France and spent three years getting their government back on their feet before proceeding to Berlin. (James Lileks, quoted by Allahpundit)

That is such an apt simile. I want to start reading Lileks again and see what else I’m missing.

Looking back in history, this ISG report will be the big beginning of the end, of the world as we know it. Blunderous! More blunderous for Mr. Bush to embrace it.

There will be a huge soiling at the next head-chopping-off party.

Sounds eerily like what Baker-Hamilton commissioner Alan Simpson told Broder:

Simpson was even more expansive. “This could be an example, not only of how to handle Iraq, but it could apply to immigration, Social Security and all those other things that have been hung up for so long. That’s what this last election said: Get serious and get your work done.”

I hope Washington is listening.

The Kennedy School of Government: Where dissipated brains go to die. It gets them every time.

It can be argued that the mass majority are mindless sheep who will not notice their missing liberty when it is totally taken away – as surely it is and has been for some time now been eroded.

It may be argued that the masses will not even care.

If you disagree – look around you, where ever you are.

Is this where we should be?

There’s a lot of ‘that’ going around lately.

From Wuzzadem: Frustrated that its recommendations have not been accepted and implemented by President Bush after nearly twenty-seven hours, the Iraq Study Group filed documents with the Federal Election Commission today to create a a presidential camp…

Why did it take over 3 years for the attacks to start building to the levels they have? Because at various points the terrorists recognized they couldn’t win. But when the Dems continued to divide the country and promise to give up, they realized that if they can step up the chaos and just keep it going a few months longer, and a few months longer, the weak Americans would eventually give up because our resolve isn’t as strong as theirs.

The worst part is, we’ve passed the point of no return now. They’ve essentially “won”. That doesn’t mean leaving now would make the situation any better or the same, but the terrorists have figured out how to win, because they certainly can’t win actual fights. — RightWinged

…the media promised us another quagmire, another Vietnam. They’ve delivered.

As you say, it took 3 years to ramp everything up, but it takes time to measure which way the wind’s blowing, so as to adjust for windage. They had to find, dust off, lubricate and trot out all of the old ’60′s relative morality verbiage, and then prep their target with a constant rolling barrage of bullsh*t. After the electorate’s brains have been pummelled, and they want all the noise to just go away — here’s a technique for the boy-o’s watching the savages at Gitmo — they pounce.

Now, we have a treasonous document having been hailed as holy writ, a confirmed surrender-merchant confirmed as SecDef, more weak-kneed pols with hands on the valves in the Reptillian Republican Party, the Party of Treason at the tiller, Princess of Darkness as Speaker and the Dragon Lady awaiting annointing next year…that all takes time…but surrender is a dish one is supposed to savor. It’s best to take time in its preparation.

Russert, one of the chefs, is welcome to squirt himself unconscious…he’s done his damage….

We are responding to the MSM and the Democrats, who in my opinion, have caused this situation by providing the terrorists with all the propaganda they needed to keep the fight going.

When you are an uneducated, impoverished, unemployed muslim youth looking for someone to blame for your plight, and your leaders point to the United States and say, “….there, there is the devil that is causing your suffering” while they loot relief supplies, then you are told paradise is waiting for you, you only have to kill the infidels, and to motivate you, they edit our media and show this piece of fecal matter…..

I mean, when you sit here and read these recommendations, it is numbing how passionate, how bold they are, and how bleak the assessment is.

They have no idea what damage they have done. I will tell you again, when their heads are being cut off, who are they going to ask for help?

I wholeheartedly agree with your take on where we are, how we got here and who provided the transportation. I can only imagine what might have been if only the MSM had shown a gnat’s breath of patriotism for this great country of ours and supported our brave troops who risk all for it.

We will pay for this blunder and the MSM will have more than it’s share of accountability for stoking the fires of our enemies. They have repeated their successes of 40 years ago. Unfortunately for us, the Viet Cong and Al Qaeda have distinctly different post-war objectives.

sounds like a liberal dessert offering at a paris restaurant after snails and whine, dug up by pigs.

Like truffles, but not at all tasty.

“Son, we have to work on your technique a little bit…”

Isn’t someone supposed to question the timing?

*looks over both shoulders*

I QUESTION THE STAINS ON RUSSERT’S SLACKS!

All we have to do is look to things like Koran Toiletgate to see the power of the media. I’ve said for a long time that their power goes far beyond any elected American politician. How about Katrina… was it just such an enormous storm? Not at landfall. It was only a category 1 to 2 in New Orleans and a 3 at worst in the eye (which didn’t hit NOLA). The economy? We know it’s booming but polls have continued to show Americans giving it negative marks. Libs say this is because only the rich are benefiting, but when polls ask folks about their personal finances and overwhelming majority rank their situation positively. How can that be? How about all the Plamegate misinformation the public believes? How about the fact that the vast majority of people are unaware that all the top Dems spent the 13 years leading up to the war making the WMD case? I could go on and on. I hope folks understand that “buck stops at the President’s desk” or not, he’s essentially powerless.

Why did it take over 3 years for the attacks to start building to the levels they have? Because at various points the terrorists recognized they couldn’t win. But when the Dems continued to divide the country and promise to give up, they realized that if they can step up the chaos and just keep it going a few months longer, and a few months longer, the weak Americans would eventually give up because our resolve isn’t as strong as theirs.

The worst part is, we’ve passed the point of no return now. They’ve essentially “won”. That doesn’t mean leaving now would make the situation any better or the same, but the terrorists have figured out how to win, because they certainly can’t win actual fights.

I’m so pissed off right now. For further explanation (as I know I jumped around) read my other comment here at December 6, 2006 at 9:48 PM.

Did they tell bell-boy to strike the bell, or stroke the bell…

This reminds me of the silly Notre Dame joke…..they hired an arm-less man to ring the famous bell of the tower of Notre Dame. Before they hired him they asked how he planned on ringing the bell..he replied with my face. It worked for several days until he miscalculated the back swing of the bell and fell to his unfortunate death. People gathered around on the street gazing upon this fellow when one asked if anyone knew him..the man who hired him said “I don’t know his name but his face rings a bell”.. Sorry…..couldn’t help myself…

I know they’re jumping with glee right now with the anxiously awaited and self-fulfilling prophecy of defeat in Iraq, but I wonder how these NBC freaks will react when the terrorists bring the war to us (again).

First, to his credit, Russert seems less biased than Matthews and his ilk, not that that’s saying much. Whatever left-leaning bias he does have isn’t usually front and center. This video…not so much.

I actually have a different take on why this report caused Russert to go all giddy like a school girl. It confirmed what he and the rest of the media have been saying for 3 years.

The only thing missing was Russet putting his fingers in his ears and screeching “nya nya nya nya nya nya ha ha told you so told you so.”
