In case you needed any proof that the left could care less about our troops in Iraq, Afghanistan, or anywhere for that matter, comes Moveon.org's new advertisement. The ad shows a soldier sinking in quicksand and calls Iraq a quagmire and says only a new President can get us out. This the day after Kerry explained his position on Iraq to Imus - who was then forced to admit he couldn't make sense of it and that trying to get a straight answer felt like he was hitting his head against a jukebox. Make no mistake, the left is in a panic. Along with the foreign wing of the Democratic party they will do anything they can to get Kerry elected. By the Foreign wing I mean the leaders of the UN (Kofi Annan's proclamation that the Iraq Front of the war on terror was illegal) Europe, Iraq, Afghanistan, and even Latin America. In addition there will most assuredly be an uptick in attacks at home and abroad which could swing the election in either direction.

But why do they fear a second Bush term - for those outside America it means the end of complacency - they will not only have to get off the fence but they will have to spend some money on their own defense. In addition as we take the war to the terrorists and bolster our security at home we make those who aren't willing to take proactive action the soft targets. The UN loses power, the Euro's lose power and influence, the terrorists lose power, the traitors here in our midst lose power (Lie-N-Hype 9/11 Moore, the Democrats, and Media)..........hmm, is there a pattern here? Of course with the Great Satan taking the attacks they were safe!

See, as Ter, shoot I can't even spell here name right when it is pronounced that way, Mrs. Kerry said earlier this year - paraphrase, the Euro's have learned to live with a hot poker up their butts and America will have too do so as well! Of course the hot poker is terrorism and it is her belief that, like the Euro's we must roll over and accept it! Remember yesterday I mentioned our balls in a jar...........

But NO, we don't have to do that - we can take back our own POWER - the power that the left tried to abdicate to the UN, Euro's, and terrorists (remember Arafat) all throught the ninties! Haven't those on the left been screaming for years in their enlightened therapy that we need to empower ourselves! That is exactly what the President has done for our nation - and just as family and friends will react in a knee jerk way when you empower yourself so has the world reacted. But just as you may drift away from those you thought were your friends you will pick up new ones who really care about you..

The Democrat are willing to sacrifice everything troops, respect, security to win an election. The worse part is that they don't see anything wrong with that - but I think deep down they do understand that Americans aren't willing to learn to accept the poker! That is why they have the knee jerk reaction of over-defending themselves when people question their actions. It isn't their patriotism we question, it is their actions! With planning and a bit of luck we can keep those who would do us harm from taking away our power. When this happens the Democrats will need to watch out or that knee jerk reaction will hit them right in their party's pokers!

The Trek:
Oliver North gives us the truth about what is really happening in Iraq

Ben Shapiro describes that "breaking the Dukakis line" is what Terry and Kerry have managed to do so far this year!

Kerry Spot has the best headline regarding Bob Doles reaction to the Moveon's new ad.

BOB DOLE: 'ARG. BOB DOLE DOESN'T NEED TWO HANDS TO SMACK AROUND MOVEON.ORG PUNKS'

Bob's statement includes this:I cannot believe that John Kerry, who reminds us daily of his Vietnam service, would possibly approve the disgusting and demoralizing portrayal of American soldiers fighting for us in Iraq, Afghanistan and around the world.

I can!

KOFI ANNAN SAYS IRAQ WAR ILLEGAL Neil Bortz gives a great rundown of why Kofi is wrong!

I've covered this in depth before, so this is the Reader's Digest version. Read UN Resolutions 678, 687 and 1441. Read together these resolutions do the following:

1. Demand that Saddam Hussein leave Kuwait.
2. Demand that Saddam Hussein immediately dispose of all weapons of mass destruction
3. Require that Saddam Hussein provide ample proof to the United Nations that these weapons have been destroyed and that no active weapons program for such weapons exists.
4. Allow any member nation of the United Nations to take military action against Saddam Hussein if the provisions of these resolutions are not completely complied with.

Saddam didn't comply. The U.S. is a member nation of the United Nations. The U.S. compelled compliance through the use of military force, as authorized by these resolutions. End of story.

What's more alarming here is Kofi the Korrupt's idea that the United Nations is in a position to decide when the United States can legally use military force in its own defense. That, by the way, is a view shared by The Poodle.

If you don't read at least one blog from Iraq start - Healing Iraq gives an analysis of some of the coordination and worry the factions there have - he also reviews the brainwashing of the countries and how that affected the coverage in Arab media of the 9/11 anniversary.

Hugh compares the handling of the Tylenol crisis in 1982 to Rathergate! CBS is doing exactly the opposite of what is considered the best crisis management in business history. Of course if the current crop of wacko left were around then GWB would have been blamed for the poisoning!

Attacking Children - no, not the terrorists this time, the Kerry supporters! But don't ever call them on it!

Their attempts at intimidation and fear are doing more harm then good. Here is a great analysis, Robert Musil A Climate Of Fear

UPDATE 1300: IUPAT denounces the action

President Bush has surged to a 13-point lead over Sen. John Kerry among likely voters, a new Gallup Poll shows.

<>U.S. Weapons Inspector: Iraq Had No WMD...
Update: Crushkerry.com makes this great point:

It's guaranteed that this report will be the Dems talking points today and for a while. However read a little deeper - it concludes Saddam had a "dormant" WMD program he hoped to restart after interest waned. In other words - a waiting game. There is no need to criticize or second guess the Iraq war based on this report. What would Kerry have us do - apologize for doing now what we would have needed to have done later at a far greater cost? Remember folks, it's easier to stop the mugger before he buys the bullets for his gun than it is when the loaded gun is held up to your head.

The AP still won't give the name of the reporter who reported that Bush supporters booed Clinton - Powerline is still on this one - thanks guys!

By the way, did you hear Kerry at the National Guard Convention? He accused the President of, "...(pause, stammer) gilding" his Iraq and Afghanistan message. Two points here:
1) If today's Dems were around at any point in WWII we would have lost or been forced to lock them up - they are nothing but ...... honestly, the only word that explains it is traitors!
2) Who says gilding - what, he didn't want to offend the Guardsmen by calling a sitting President a liar like he has in other places? GILDING - honestly, I don't even own anything that is gilded do you? Really - this is the best the deems have? This is their man of the people, him and his, "let them go naked," wife! Get my hot poker ready cause if this guy wins I want to start getting used to mine because, as his wife has said, we'll need them!
