Weapons Of Mass Destruction In Iraq?? YES!!!!!

On July 5, 2008, the Associated Press (AP) released a story titled: Secret U.S. mission hauls uranium from Iraq. The opening paragraph is as follows:The last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program (a huge stockpile of concentrated natural uranium) reached a Canadian port Saturday to complete a secret U.S. operation that included a two-week airlift from Baghdad and a ship voyage crossing two oceans.See anything wrong with this picture?We have been hearing from the far left for more than five years how Bush lied. Somehow, that slogan loses its credibility now that 550 metric tons of Saddam's yellowcake, used for nuclear weapon enrichment, has been discovered and shipped to Canada for its new use as nuclear energy.It appears that American troops found the 550 metric tons of uraniuim in 2003 after invading Iraq. They had to sit on this information and the uranium itself for fear of terrorists attempting to steal it. It was guarded and kept safe by our military in a 23,000-acre site with large sand beams surrounding the site.This is vindication for the Bush administration, having been attacked mercilessly by the liberal media and the far-left pundits on the blogo-sphere. Now that it is proven that President Bush did not lie about Saddam's nuclear ambitions, one would think that the mainstream media would report the true story. Once the AP released the story, the mainstream media should have picked it up and broadcast it worldwide.That never happened, due in large part, I believe, to the fact that the mainstream media would have to admit they were wrong about Bush's war motives all along. Thankfully, the AP got it right when it said, "The removal of 550 metric tons of yellowcake, the seed material for higher-grade nuclear enrichment, was a significant step toward closing the books on Saddam's nuclear legacy."Closing the book on Saddam's nuclear legacy? Did Saddam have a nuclear legacy after all? I thought Bush lied? As it turns out, the people who lied were Joe Wilson and his wife.Valerie Plame engaged in a clear case of nepotism and convinced the CIA to send her husband on a fact finding mission in February 2002, seeking to determine if Saddam Hussein attempted to buy yellowcake from Niger. The CIA and British intelligence believed Saddam contacted Niger for that purpose but needed proof.During his trip to Niger, Wilson actually interviewed the former prime minister of Niger, Ibrahim Assane Mayaki. Mayaki told Wilson that in June of 1999, an Iraqi delegation expressed interest in "expanding commercial relations" for the purposes of purchasing yellowcake.Wilson chose to overlook Mahaki's remarks and reported to the CIA that there was no evidence of Hussein wanting to purchase yellow cake from Niger.However, with British intelligence insisting the claim was true, President Bush used that same claim in his State of the Union address in January of 2003. Outraged by Bush's insistence that the claim was true, Wilson wrote an op-ed in the New York Times in the summer of 2003 slamming Bush.Wilson did this in spite of the fact that Mayaki said Saddam did try to buy the yellowcake from Niger. The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence disagreed with Wilson and supported Mayaki's claim. This meant nothing to Wilson who was opposed to the Iraq war and thus had ulterior motives in covering up the prime minister's statements.It was a simple tactic, really. If the far-left and their friends in the media could prove Bush lied about Hussein wanting to purchase yellowcake from Niger, it would undermine President Bush's credibility and give them more cause for asking what other lies he may have told.Yet the real lie came from Wilson, who interpreted his own meaning from the prime minister's statements and concluded all by himself that the claim of Saddam attempting to purchase yellowcake was "unequivocally wrong." Curiously the CIA sat on this information and did not inform the CIA Director, who sided with Bush on the yellowcake claim. This was made public in a bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report in July 2004.Valerie Plame also engaged in her own lie campaign by spreading the notion that the Bush Administration outed her as a CIA agent. Never mind that it was Richard Armitage - no friend of the Bush administration - who leaked Plame's identity to the press. Never mind that Plame had not been in the field as a CIA agent in some six years.The truth is, due to their opposition to the war, Joe Wilson, Valerie Plame, the mainstream media, and their left-wing friends on the blogo-sphere engaged in a propaganda campaign to undermine the Bush administration. Now that Saddam's uranium has been made public and is no longer a threat to the world, do you think these aforementioned parties will apologize and admit they were wrong?Don't count on it. The rest of the American people should hear the truth about Saddam's uranium. It is up to you and me to inform them.As far as the anti-war crowd is concerned, the next time they say that Bush lied, we should tell them to "have the yellowcake and eat it too."For verification of this information, click on this link:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25546334/

Barack Obama On Energy

Barack Obama continues to demonstrate his lack of maturity and knowledge. Recently, Barack declared that if Americans keep their tires properly inflated and car engines tuned up, the savings will equal the benefit of drilling in America. How ridiculus! Drilling, nuclear energy, conservation and development of alternative energy sources are required now and going into the future. Be a leader if you can, get Congress to move forward on all of the options available!

Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Speaker of the House declares "SHE wants to save the planet" as justification for not allowing a vote on drilling in America. What an ego! Nancy, you are not that important nor powerful!

Racism Continues In America

THE NOT SO Reverend Jeramiah Wright continues to fan the flames of racism and the promotion of Separatism under the veil of religion. I cannot believe that such overt expressions of prejudice continue to exist in our country. This is truly a terrible state of affairs. Generally, people with such extreme views of race are condemned quickly by Politicians, the Media and the American public. Why is this NOT the case with Black racists? Where are the Politicians, the Media and the Black Leadership in this country. Not a peep! Are they afraid when it comes to condemning the acts or viewpoints of Blacks? Racism is racism, whether Black or White. Racists should be removed from positions of influence and power! April 2008

Racism Exists In America UNFORTUNATELY

I am extremely disappointed to see that racism continues to exist in America. I do understand that racism will never be eliminated but I was hopeful as the years go by that the amount of hatred has become less and less in our society.

Racism seems to have changed through the years. It has taken on a new face. Blacks have become the racists! Yes, the hated exhibited by leaders of the Black Churches, the New Black Panther Party and Others is disturbing! Even recent comments by Barack & Michelle Obama have shown their racist tendencies.

Until Blacks remove the victim mentality from their lives, they will never thrive. Blacks that have moved foward in our society and have become successful are looked down upon by other Blacks. They are criticized and ridiculed. How unfortunate!

Frankly, I am tired of hearing the same old garbage being spewed by the Black Leadership in America. The same old rhetoric is used today as it was 50 years ago. I am tired of everyone being a victim. Blacks are only victims of themselves, their community and their leadership.

America has changed over the last 50 years. It is unfortunate that many in the Black Community have not! Until so called Black Leaders such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton denounce Reverend Wright and others that separate the cultures in America with their vicious and racist statements, racism will continue to thrive.

It is time that all of us stand up and denounce those that preach hatred in America whether Black, White, Indian or Asian! George Newkirk March 2008

Global Poverty Act should be denounced!

The Senate is voting on a bill that would commit 0.07% of the gross national product to the United Nations. The bill is known as the Global Poverty Act and is sponsored by the socialist Senator Obama! This bill would increase the amount of money we provide the United Nations to abate worldwide poverty by hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars over the next 10 years. We should not allow our Senators or the United Nations to dictate and control the use of our money in this manner. Contact your Senator now and put a stop to this legislation.

The End of Debate?

I find it very interesting to talk with Liberals. Apparently, there is no debate, just emotion. Try it sometime, pick a topic and provide your opinion and base it upon facts. Watch the emotions fly! Since they have no basis for many of their positions, they become frustrated, call you names and provide no rationale reason for their position. An example of this comes from an email that I received from a longtime friend regarding my positions as stated on this website. I hadn't heard from him in years but he proceeds to make commentary about my head being mush from experiences during my youth and that I should get a life. Since I didn't want to fall into this apparent trap, I responded that I have a life, nothing more nothing less. It would have been more meaningful if he would have challenged me on specific topics and presented his opinions and facts to reinforce his position. Instead, his emotions took over.

As I stated earlier, it is the end of debate when you have a differing view than that of Liberals. - g

Denounce Islamic Extremism!

The war on terror or against extremists is working! Why do I say this? We are provoking these insane religious people to come out of hiding. They are exposing themselves and we are either arresting them or better yet removing them from this world.Persistence and commitment by law enforcement, the military and law abiding citizens will defeat them. Think of these extremists as insects that must be destroyed. One thing is missing; it is Muslim leadership in exposing the bad element that resides within their religion. Where are the Islamic leaders? Why aren't they speaking out against their extremist brethren? Once the entire world is denouncing this common enemy of mankind, success will be achieved much more quickly. -g
