Former Vice President (and does it not seem ironic that the term VICE has a whole new meaning considering who the President was?) Al Gore is going to give a speech and talk about George Bush’s assault on the Constitution. This is going to be the election year mantra. We see the moonbats already tagging it as illegal without a judicial ruling. All through Judge Alito’s harassment we heard “President illegally wiretapped” or ” illegal electronic surveillance of Americans.” These sentences are the new talking points designed to plant ideas in the mush filled heads of the Democrat’s constituency. The Senate will have hearings to decide if the surveillance was legal. It is also worthy to note that the focus will be on people who were already under suspicion. To hear the donk leaders talk you would think that every conversation in the world is being listened to.
Al Gore is going to blast the President for violations of the Constitution. He has been sore since he did not win the lawsuit THAT HE FILED in the 2000 election. The Supreme Court ruled against him so the SCOTUS and the President must be abusing powers. I really can’t fault Gore too much. The man has to make a living and how better than to charge a bunch of dunder heads money to listen to you spew garbage. Gore is a rich man so it is hard for him to make ends meet without such speaking engagements. He could just involve himself in his family tobacco interests but that would not put him in the spotlight. You see, people like Gore need to be out in the public to feel some sense of self-worth. It is tough for Gore because he and John Kerry are the only two members of a very small club. It is the club for people who were defeated in a Presidential election by a man they both considered less intelligent than they.
Must be tough to get beaten by a man you consider inferior to you. That is why Gore needs the ego boost every once in a while. Since Gore was part of the administration that allowed the events leading to 9/11 to grow, who is the real threat to our way of life?

Who Is It Now
January 14, 2006 — Big DogLet a bunch of terrorists fly planes into American buildings and kill 3000 people and we get a lot of tough talk from countries like Germany, France, and Russia but when it comes time to put up or shut up they are more likely to shut up. They had a lot to worry about because they were in up to their elbows in the oil for food scandal and since many weapons were found in Iraq that came from them it is no wonder they opposed our invasion. When America used intelligence from all over the world to assess Iraq the Democrats accused us of cooking the books and fabricating a case for war. Now, the countries who would not step in are in a very awkward position. They face a closer to home terrorist threat and they are nervous.
Iran has restarted its nuclear program. Only an idiot believe they restarted because they never stopped. They have been working on this stuff all along and I would say they have progressed further that we think because they are making a lot of noise indicating they are not worried about other countries. They might even already have a nuke and are looking for a reason to use it. Whatever the case, the intelligence that surrounds this does not include any from the US (or at least none publicly acknowledged). All the reported intelligence came from that side of the world.
The thing is, the other countries are now worried that Iran might pop a nuke in their butts. They should be worried because the terrorist running Iran has made it clear he would wipe Israel off the map. Strange how when it is in their back yards they are more concerned and willing to take action. When the US was talking about UN security council sanctions (in addition to the many resolutions) there was indications that some of the permanent members would vote against us. One vote stops the action. Now, we have them wanting (along with us) to go to the UN for sanction. I know we will vote with them but it would be nice to screw them by voting against. Maybe this is why Merkel from Germany was here. She is afraid the US will not back them because they did not back us. After all, the nuke problem over there does not affect us directly. It is unlikely they have a missile that could hit us. I think we should let Germany, France, and Russia make their own decisions and fight their own wars, if any, in Iran.
Why should we get involved? We have our own business to tend to in Iraq and we should not be the lead on the one in Iran. The other countries are more affected, let them develop a coalition and go fight while we sit back and say how terrible they are and that they lied and people died blah blah. Yeah, that is it. We should tell them we will consider their position in the UN and will vote with them if we can. Then we can tell them we do not agree with them invading Iran because there is no connection between Iran and nuclear terrorism since they have never attacked anyone with nukes. We can tell them that if they do go to war we can not commit our troops and that we will criticize them and the elected leaders daily about the hundreds of thousands of people they killed even if they did not.
It is really strange how a country’s position changes when it is in danger. We warned that leaving terrorist regimes unchecked would lead to trouble but no one listened. Now, they are making the same claims about Iran that we made about Iraq. Funny how the focus changes. So have fun, let us know if it gets too tough.
