Sir,
Excellent article about Buckley. I took National Review for more than 20 years untill it was taken over by the neocons. Great insight.
We are near the end here in America. We are washed up and doomed. The end is near for us.
Thank you and YHWH bless
Samuel

Hey,Steve;
You are a guest here ,and as such,are most welcome.
However,I must point out that you stated"So now we send more troops. That is a great idea and will only increase our successes in Iraq." Stupidity should cause pain. So Umm....
Signed up yet?
Sent the bushbambinos an E-mail telling them to get their chunky asses to Paris Island?
Do you know anyone who has died becouse the CIC is an ultramedicated,retarded asshole?
Are you telling your kids that the military is the way to go?
Not picking a fight,just curious...A response would be enjoyed. ....

Re steve:
What planet are you living on? Those fine young men you talked with, were they the ones who have been raping and murdering their way across Iraq while spreading 'democracy', ie the system that favours Israel and American Big Business interests? Three quarters of a million dead Iraqis and the country PERMANENTLY polluted with depleted uranium. The whole infrastructure devastated. The good name (totally undeserved even before this crime in my opinion) of the US dragged in the mud. The only people to gain from this vast crime are the monsters in occupied Palestine and scum like Haliburton and Big Oil. The US is now a repulsive, torture-approving police state ruled by souless vampires. You are right about the 'news' media misrepresenting what is going on. The jew-controlled media lies and misrepresents and omits what is relevant as a matter of course. Even the slave populations under the Soviet system were more aware than the American public.
I have read and reread your posting to see whether you were being satiric, because I find it difficult to believe that anyone could be as blind as you appear to be. However, you appear to actually believe what you have written. If you represent a significant segment of the electorate of America then we are all in dire straights.

Re steve: "Even the slave populations under the Soviet system were more aware than the American public." I must agree,and point out that if tools like Gonzalez and McCan't have their way,the the Net will be gone,and that will be the last coffin nail on free speech,and independent thought.The implications are almost too horrible to contemplate.What makes it worse is that these bastards are doing all this under the guise of "Freedom". It's a brave new world... |

Despite all this talk about defeat, the truth is that America is winning in Iraq.
The only problem is that America lives in an "instant" society. If things aren't dealt with quickly we think that we are failing when the truth is that these things take some time.
My question is though is there a more effective way of doing this without as many deaths and injuries to our soldiers?
The truth is there is and I believe sending more troops will speed up our victory. We have the resources to accomplish the mission without taking all these causalities so we should use them.
That said, our causalities have been quite small. You look at just one day during WWII and we had lost more troops than we have in this whole engagement. It is just that we have the resources to make them smaller so we should use these resources.
The basic fact is that we are winning. Just not as quickly and as effectively as we would like to be.

The US is now a repulsive, torture-approving police state ruled by souless vampires. Because Anwaar Hussian has never lived in a Democracy he might get the wrong impression about people like you Brian. Because Democracies rarely punish people for mere thoughts and the expression of thoughts through writing and other means, people like you are just a human waste byproduct of Democracy. You will always find people who like to be contrary just for the sake of being contrary and that is what you are getting with Brian. Be assured that he and people like him are a very small although indeed vocal part of our society that we usually just tolerate and never take seriously. Brian has a social personally disorder that gives him pleasure from disagreeing and insulting others. Not serious enough to lock him up until he goes beyond thoughts and actually expresses his anger and anti-social behavior through some act of physical violence. People like Brian are living on borrowed time. When the next terrorist attack happens people will finally lose patience with people like Brian in our society. |

OK,let's treat this like a football game for a minute.
Iraq War Scoreboard:
Losers...2,969(?) dead American Soldiers
(25,000 maimed)
655,000(?) dead Iraqi civilians
The Environment (200+tons of Depleted Uranium)
The Economy($352,504,016,653)
Winners...Exxonmobil,Connoco-Phillips,Halliburton,Blackwater-Oh,and let's not forget
those bloodsucking death-merchants over at the Carlyle Group.
Gotta stop slapping the snooze-button,Kurt...

I understand what Anwaar's point was when he offered up statistics on the crime rate in the united States. However, I feel the need to shed some Light on our criminal justice system. Please note the following article.....Michelle
America’s Injustice System Is Criminal
Wednesday, December 13, 2006
by Paul Craig Roberts
The Christmas season is a time to remember the unfortunate. Among the most unfortunate people are those who have been wrongly convicted and imprisoned.
The United States has a large number of wrongfully convicted. There are many reasons for this. One is that the US has the largest percentage of its citizens imprisoned of all countries in the world, including China. One of every 32 US adults is behind bars, on probation or on parole. Given a wrongful conviction rate, the larger the percentage of citizens in jails, the greater the number of wrongfully convicted.
According to the International Center for Prison Studies at King's College in London, the US has 700,000 more of its citizens incarcerated than China, a country with a population four to five times larger than that of the US, and 1,330,000 more people in prison than crime-ridden Russia. The US has 5% of the world's population and 25% of the world's prisoners. The American incarceration rate is seven times higher than that of European countries. Either America is the land of criminals, or something is seriously wrong with the criminal justice (sic) system in "the land of the free."
In the US the wrongful conviction rate is extremely high. One reason is that hardly any of the convicted have had a jury trial. No peers have heard the evidence against them and found them guilty. In the US criminal justice (sic) system, more than 95% of all felony cases are settled with a plea bargain.
Before jumping to the conclusion that an innocent person would not admit guilt, be aware of how the process works. Any defendant who stands trial faces more severe penalties if found guilty than if he agrees to a plea bargain. Prosecutors don't like trials because they are time consuming and a lot of work. To discourage trials, prosecutors offer defendants reduced charges and lighter sentences than would result from a jury conviction. In the event a defendant insists upon his innocence, prosecutors pile on charges until the defendant's lawyer and family convince the defendant that a jury is likely to give the prosecutor a conviction on at least one of the many charges and that the penalty will be greater than a negotiated plea.
The criminal justice (sic) system today consists of a process whereby a defendant is coerced into admitting to a crime in order to escape more severe punishment for maintaining his innocence. Many of the crimes for which people are imprisoned never occurred. They are made up crimes created by the process of negotiation to close a case.
This takes most of the work out of the system and, thereby, suits police, prosecutors, and judges to a tee. Police do not have to be careful about evidence, because they know that no more than one case out of twenty will ever be tested in the courtroom.
Prosecutors do not have to make decisions about which cases to prosecute or risk losing cases. By coercing pleas, prosecutors can prosecute every case and boast of extremely high conviction rates.
When prosecutors had to decide which cases to prosecute, they had to examine the evidence and to investigate the defendant's side of the story. No more. The evidence seldom comes into play. In place of a determination of innocence or guilt, prosecutors negotiate with lawyers the crimes to which a defendant will enter a plea.
Prosecutors have lost sight of innocence and guilt. What we have today is a conveyor belt that convicts almost everyone who is charged. Every defense attorney knows that today prosecutors can purchase testimony against a defendant by paying a "witness" with money, dropped charges, or reduced time to testify against the defendant. Many prosecutors become highly annoyed at any disruption of the plea bargain conviction process. A defendant that incurs the prosecutor's ire is certain to be framed on far more serious charges than a negotiated plea.
Going to trial is no guarantee that an innocent person will be acquitted. Prosecutors routinely withhold exculpatory evidence and suborn perjury. Generally, jurors trust prosecutors and are unaware of their inventory of dirty tricks. Few jurors can tell the difference between bogus evidence and real evidence. For example, psychologists and criminologists have established beyond all doubt that eye-witnesses are wrong 50% of the time. Yet, jurors usually believe eye-witnesses unless they think the witness has it in for the defendant and is lying.
Prosecutors--and there are still a few--who are meticulous about their cases and fair to defendants show poor results compared to the high convictions attained by prosecutors who run plea bargain mills and frame-up factories. Today's criminal justice (sic) system is results orientated, not justice orientated.
In the past judges could give light sentences to people they believed had been wrongfully convicted. But "law and order conservatives" have taken sentencing discretion away from judges. Today prosecutors hold all the cards.
Many conservatives believe that prisons are full of hardened criminals who liberal judges are determined to release to prey upon society. In truth, the largest percentage of prisoners are drug users who are victims of the conservatives' "war on drugs." Drug offenses account for 49 percent of federal prison population growth between 1995 and 2003. Many of these prisoners are mothers arrested for drug use. The greatest victims of the drug laws are the children whose mothers are incarcerated.
As females become sexually active at younger and younger ages, state legislatures have stupidly raised the age at which it is legal to engage in sexual activity. Today, a significant percentage of new prisoners are young men imprisoned for engaging in sexual activity with teenage girls. In the US, criminal justice (sic) has more to do with ruining people than with punishing criminals.
I have written often about wrongful convictions. We know that wrongful conviction is a serious problem when the advent of DNA evidence has led to the release of a significant number of innocent people who were convicted of murderer and rape, and when a number of law schools feel that it is necessary for them to operate innocence projects that work for the release of the wrongfully convicted.
Prosecutors are like President Bush. They absolutely refuse to admit that they ever make a mistake and have to be forced to disgorge their innocent victims. Nothing makes a prosecutor more angry than to have to give back a wrongfully convicted person's life.
Lt. William Strong and Christophe Gaynor are two of the hundreds of thousands of wrongfully convicted Americans whose lives have been ruined by an irresponsible and corrupt criminal justice (sic) system.
In Virginia, Lt. William Strong, the son of a military family, grew tired of his wife's unfaithfulness and filed for divorce. The unfaithful wife retaliated by accusing Strong of marital rape. Neither police nor prosecutor investigated the charge. Instead, they proceeded to set Strong up for plea conviction. The arresting officer recommended Strong's attorney, an incompetent who owed his cases to the police.
Strong insisted on a trial, but the arresting officer and attorney convinced Strong's parents that with a plea their son would be out in a year. No one told Strong or his parents the implications of a plea, and Virginia Judge Westbrook Parker, playing to feminist voters, gave Strong a life sentence of 60 years.
The case has many unsavory appearances. If reports are true, the arresting officer paid numerous visits to Strong's unfaithful wife, as did Strong's attorney, and the arresting officer ended up separating from his wife and leaving the police force.
The perk kit exists and Strong could be given a DNA test, but Virginia refuses on the grounds that Strong admitted his guilt. Strong says the semen, if any, is that of the wife's boyfriend.
Strong has been in prison for 15 years on the basis of zero evidence. He is in prison because he and his parents trusted the police officer and the criminal justice (sic) system.
Another Virginia case is that of Christophe Gaynor. Gaynor was the coach of an adolescent skate board team, which he took to New York City for a competition. One of the adolescents expressed his intention to buy drugs. Gaynor forbade it and threatened to report the boy to his parents.
The irresponsible kid retaliated by accusing Gaynor of sex abuse. There was no evidence. There was no investigation. Gaynor had never displayed any homosexual tendencies. The entire team knew the accusation was false. Gaynor went to trial. He was framed by the prosecutor with the help of the judge, who intimidated Gaynor's witnesses by incarcerating one of the kids overnight without cause. Gaynor was sentenced to 32 years with no possibility of parole on the basis of no evidence, just an unproven accusation. His trial was full of irregularities, and the same judge who sentenced him denied Gaynor a new trial.
Ten years later, this past summer Noah J. Seidenberg, who brought the unproven accusation against Gaynor, died apparently of drug overdose at the age of 24 years.
There is no institution in America that is a greater failure than the criminal justice (sic) system. The system can do nothing but fail, because the search for truth and justice plays no part in the system. The prosecutor's career depends on his conviction rate, not on discovering the guilt or innocence of the accused.
Virginia's governor could pardon Strong and Gaynor. But feminists and "child advocates" would scream and yell, as would prosecutors and "law and order conservatives." Nothing matters to these groups but their own single-issue, and justice is not part of it. In America justice cannot be done unless a governor is prepared to sacrifice his own political career in the interest of justice.
What kind of people are we when we exercise no oversight over a criminal justice (sic) system that destroys the lives of innocent people with lies?

I am so glad that you left wing freaks have aligned yourselves with these Islamofascists because every time they blow up a building or cut someone's head off we can blame you because you are their allies.
And the real fun begins after the next big terrorist attack. Don't get me wrong the terrorist attack itself will be tragic and I am not looking forward to that, but I am looking forward to afterwards where all of America rises up and gives you the ass kicking you all deserve.
You are all traitors to America. Evil traitors to America. Each and every one of you. At least Anwaar is open and honest about being an enemy of America. He isn't the enemy within like you all are.
But the clock is ticking on you people. I can feel the heat rising in America and the day something big happens again, well that day will be your last.

And realise we are one?Probably not. You left wing freaks .You traitors blah blah blah. Henry, you make it sound like there are two worlds we have the incredible good fortune to live on,instead of one. Would that it were so.There would likely be a lot less carnage and misery on the "Left-Wing" planet. Do you know the meaning of the word"fascist"?
Do you realize the term "islamofascist"
makes about as much sense as "Military Intelligence"?
Or how about "Catastrophic Success"?
Don't get me wrong?I don't get you at all.
Are you looking forward to the end of the world,or...What?
Oh,never mind...
Thanks for spewing,GFBushtool.Come back real soon, with a coherent argument that has evolved beyond plankton. |

Yeah,right- Touchdown,U.S.A.!!! So,um...Can they come home now? Oh,hell no... Much to the W Administration's dismay, We don't have the damn oil yet.Anon,have you noticed that freedom ain't on the march in North Korea Tibet Darfor Taiwan Chechenya.... I'm kinda suprised we aren't McFreedomizing down there in Sierra Leone. Guess GFB was put on notice that diamonds are the zionist's turf, and he'd get his lilly ass regime-changed if he tried it. Pry your eyes open. This is not victory.This is a deluded despot's idea of vengence, hastily packaged as victory for the brainwashed masses. Besides being forbidden by the Constitution,the premeditated murder of of national leaders is considered to be very rude. And while being immensly proffitable for about 1% of the world's people,it solves nothing. Absolutely nothing. |

Re Alex:
I notice that he makes no argument but states that I am mentally disturbed. My mental illness must stem from the fact that I don't accept or believe what the likes of Alex and his ilk think I should accept and believe. Furthermore, my aberation will only be tolerated for a little longer until Alex and his chums can fabricate another 9/11 atrocity. Then, he and his tribe, will whip up Boobus Americanus into a frenzy where there will by no debate only shrieks for blood. Then it will be like the good old days in Bolshevik Russia when anyone 'not with the program' was eliminated or sent to the Gulag or mental institutions.
That about right Alex? Ah! go back to the kibbutz!
