Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Snow White . . . . . . .
And the Seven Dwarfs
It seems that the Democratic slate is apoplectic about the recent so called NIA (National Intelligence Assessment) and they are ready to further sacrifice the security of the nation over an automatic presumption that the report is just what the headlines suggest. And to think they want to be President. Not one of them is up to the challenge.
This report was written by 3 members of the State Department with know hostility to the Bush foreign policy in Iran, Iraq and N. Korea and does not alter the risk assessment at all. Even if taken at face value, the pursuit of the “components” of a nuclear weapon is not on the critical path in the time line of development at this stage in Iran and can be subsequently augmented while the real game is in the reprocessing of fissionable uranium material. This is a flat out program that has been launched by Iran to make them energy independent (Ha). If they spent a fraction of this money on producing a single gasoline refinery they would be independent. If you believe their spin you should have your voter card cancelled, because you are the threat to the security of the country.
I am quite certain that these candidates (along with senators Reid and others) are quite willing to take this opportunity to trash the security of the country as an acceptable cost in order to try and tie Bush’s hands and gain political advantage. I think I would trust the Mosad estimate ahead of the left leaning Department of State (as well as the above Disney characters) which takes nearly hostile exception with this report. The only purpose this report has served is to hamstring the diplomatic and sanction approach to solving the problem and consequently increase the prospects of hostility. Isn’t it also interesting that the Democrats that have spent the last 6 years trashing the intelligence community in the US are so quick to accept this report without additional consideration of the impact on our National Security. Do you think they would have all signed up to “neutralize” Iran as fast if the report indicated that Iran is on the verge of a weapon?

Hi Steve,
Problem is, Snow White is uglier than the wicked queen and all the dwarfs are Dopey.
Hi Tammi……..Now that would be an honest assesment!
……steve
“The Power Of Nightmares” huh?
Keep selling Steve, keep selling…
“Problem is, Snow White is uglier than the wicked queen and all the dwarfs are Dopey” … Yeah because the right is running a bunch of brain surgeons to be sure.
M2…………just trying to do my best. I know and I suppose you’ll tell me that H. Dean was a brain surgeon or was it foot………here it is, foot in mouth…….steve
M2 — I never mentioned anything about the right running brain surgeons. Just stating my opinion on the what Steve posted. I thought it was funny. However, your sense of humor seems to be stuck up your butt.
Merry Christmas anyway.
Yeah Tammi……….we all know that Dennis K. is their brain surgeon………steve
The “all the dwarfs are dopey” line WAS funny, so congrats on that.
M2…….Very funny and Very True………..steve
Do you suppose that if we pilled up the combined IQ’s of the four frontrunners in each party it would be a contest?
& don’t bother trying to tell me that it’s okay because you all have the market cornered on “common sense” either.
Stay off of anything “intellectual” & on the Mexicans are taking over lets build a 700 mile fence, RvW, Gay marriage, WWIII is coming, they hate us for our freedom wagon… I’m not sure it will still work at this point but the masses have surprised me before & my bar is now permanently set pretty low.
So it just might?
Anxiously awaiting another HRc post -M2
PS
9/11 9/11 9/11 WWIII WWIII WWIII 9/11 9/11 9/11 WWIII WWIII WWIII
M2………You know that we can’t debate this contest on an intellectual basis since the front runner is HRc. She is just what ever her polls tell her she needs to be for you “this week.” I don’t think she would claim an intellectual argument for her own candidacy, she simply polls, triangularates, divides and does it all through lies. Talk about lying presidents or candidates, those Clintons take the blue ribbon (will that hold you over until the next HRc post?)
Hey that HRc thing still hasn’t caught on.
The fun part will be watching how SW&7d “intellectually” justify their theoretical stance on national security and border control, then watch them get elected………steve
P.S. B-T-W WWIII isn’t coming, its here!
Lemmee get this straight - don’t talk about anything that matters, ’cause we don’t think it does, then? The “ignore it and it’ll go away” approach? Yeah, that works great.
Can’t say I’m terribly impressed with the crop of ‘08 candidates all-around. Does anybody else think - “this is the best we’ve got?” Obviously not, but they’re the best willing to throw their hats into the three rings. Whether or not any particular candidate may be primarily motivated by her lust for power unusual even for a politician in it’s ruthless intensity might be another story.
“The hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.”
- Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno
Sorry, guess I’m just a little politically despairing today.
On a lighter note: sure am enjoying the Christmas cookies that are starting to pop up here and there.
plodon………I think you are right here on a number of matters. I don’t really like any of them either. I can’t even discuss liking the Democrats since I don’t agree much on any points of any of them. I’m left to disucss their character, which is totally absent in HRc and abundant in star boy and make out king Dennis. But if I had to live with one it would be Joe (C’s get degrees) Biden. Ouch……..did I say that?
I am not really on any Republican bandwagon either. There have just been too many opportunistic “philosophical” changes in most of them. I think that probably Tancredo and Paul bring the highest integrity and credibility to their candidacy though I only agree with each of them in part………….so this could be a tough decision. My daughter is stong on Huckabee, but I haven’t squared his economics yet.
I guess I should add that integrity and credibility are not necessarily the most important prequisites for being qualified to be President either.
Great and accurate quote by Adorno…………..steve
Well Plondon you somehow didn’t get the point I was trying to make “straight” but thanks for stopping by…
& Steve your daughter is for Huck because he’s ordained… She votes the life issue. I argued two different generals with her over Bush & it always got back to him being “pro life”…
In other news, I think the dem nominee should offer the Cheney post to Biden.
M2……….. should offer the Cheney post to Biden.
Well if that is what it would take to get another one out of the senate, so be it………..steve
Oh yeh… because they’ll certainly put a republican in his place…
& I love this:
“I guess I should add that integrity and credibility are not necessarily the most important prequisites for being qualified to be President either.”
I suppose philosophy (not the opportunistic “philosophical” changes of course) & experience are the trump cards?
I would probably argue that all four of those qualities are interchangeable when summarizing ones political viability…
Semantics right?
M2……… I suppose philosophy (not the opportunistic “philosophical” changes of course) & experience are the trump cards. I would probably argue that all four of those qualities are interchangeable when summarizing ones political viability…Semantics right?
NOPE, what I am saying is that I know scores of people with credibility and integrity that would in no waybe qualified to run a local business not to mention the United States of America. (I’m probably one of them though I have had a lot of experience runing various businesses) So they (integrity and credibility) are not the primary qualifications for the job, the resume and competence is the primary qualifications then you sort based on phillosophy then you sort on integerity and credibility. I think this is axiomatic, not some right wing slant. [I don’t want to hear about your take on “W” in this context ……….. your hung up on the “Philosophy” plank] ……..and we both know that HRc comes up short in all these categories. (she can’t even get a star for philosophy because it changes with the polls.)
Further I disagree in the interchangability point you make. Lets see integrity, credibility, experience, philosophy. Are these interchangeable………..no unless you feel that there is one philosophy out there that is compatible with integrity. One philosophy that is credible and people with experience are of the same philosophy. However you do throw the word “viability” into that mix and not quite sure of its connection here. Do you see my point? ……..steve
P.S. Yeah, probably another Democrat from Delaware but not with the same senority or clout (but probably something better than C’s on the transcript) and who knows, maybe a Liberman type, but in any event, a net functional gain…….. I feel another Global Warming post comming. The NYMEX (New York Merchantile Exchange) announced today that they were going to open trading of Carbon Credits in the 1st quarter of 08 and call it the “green exchange.” Cute…… There was some nonsense in the “promo” about Corporate Responsibility. Maybe I should just shut up and take a hefty short position.
………..
Absolutely
Real wealth is & has always been established in destructive times… Get on the new wagon (whether the problem be actual or percieved) & cash in.
Use Haliburton & Blackwater as your examples…
It’s the wild wild west with this GW thing so go get that money. It’s positively capatalistic & plays right into our free market nature, you should be in heaven.
M2……..Real wealth is & has always been established in destructive times That is for sure, you know the story about Joe Kennedy. Anyway…….why should al Gore get all the profits. ……….steve
P.S. Another PS. I heard a politican (forget which) make the argument yesterday. That if GW is real and we take actions we didn’t hurt anything and if it was make believe we have only cleaned up the environment…….
NSL has been down this road before. CO2 is not a pollutant, so if you eliminated all of it you wouldn’t be cleaning up the environment, but you would choak off part of the ecological system. But, you know what, it sounded good when he said it and nobody had enough brains on the panel to challenge it. But I guess to him, the point that CO2 is a pollutant is also “settled science.” …………..steve
He’s (or She, although you wouldn’t have forgotton her) probably talking about doing a better job picking up litter on our roadsides & recycling.
& I’ve actually heard Christianity presented that way…
NSL, Americas leader in the global warming debate!
M2…….then you see my point, and yes it wasn’t her………steve
Oh &… satire folks… please see the satire in all three lines.
No it was satire… Meaning I don’t see your point.
If you don’t see mine, I don’t see yours.
Nanny nanny boo boo!
The idea of clean energy somehow escapes you.
The fact that we’re in a billion bucks a day on loan from foreign interests where we also happen to get 65% of our oil doesn’t seem to trouble you.
M2……..The idea of clean energy somehow escapes you. The fact that we’re in a billion bucks a day on loan from foreign interests where we also happen to get 65% of our oil doesn’t seem to trouble you.
The idea of clean energy doesn’t really escape me at all, do you have some laying around. In the meantime it is indeed a shame that we have to spend a Billion a day on foreign oil when we still have so much of our own, but politics is politics………..steve
You would certainly know that…
& you do your part.
M2……It may be politics to say bottle up the oil (to sell out to the environmentalists while talking about using technology that doesn’t yet exist), but I don’t see it as politics to say lets tap it because we need it. Supply vs. Demand is giving us $100 oil and it is going to the shieks. There is no commensurate guilt here……steve
The way things are shaping up I wanted to add a comment to my own post. This is great. I still think HRc will get the nomination, but in better form than I could have hoped. I have felt and stated here at NSL before that she might be the weakest of potential Democratic candidates (especially in the wake of a successful surge depending on the immediate future).
But this is sort of the formation of a “perfect storm.” Initially I expected HRc to breeze through the primaries concluding with a large bank account and in position to decline federal matching funds and spend what she wants on spinning the truth about the Clinton presidential era.
Now it looks like if she wins she will not only be broke getting it done, but battered pretty badly and she will have shown her canines as she moves to the General election. If on top of that she has to allocate more resources (much more than she has figured) in defending NY she could have a major equation to solve. I certainly believe Giuliani and to some degree Romney change the NY Matrix somewhat. I’ll state again that if she would lose NY she will lose the General Election…..So, pop some popcorn and sit back and watch this “situation comedy” with great enthusiasm………….steve
HRc HRc HRC HRc HRc… whoops, maybe not?
Re-calibrate there right wingies.
I’ve always tried to tell you that she’s not a lock. Pay a little more attention to me, I know the left wing fairly well.
Hey happy New Year Steve…
M2………….Happy New Year to you too. Yeah, you have me worried on this one. But she pulled the trump card out today with the sobbing, but it didn’t work for Pat Schroeder or Edmund Muskie and it will be interesting what the machine will have up its sleeve after tomorrow’s election. My dream was looking like it would come true and then it went over board. My best case scenario was HRc with the nomination after a bloody and bank breaking primary season with the Black community hating her over the bloodshed she let on Barack.
Her plan was to breeze through to the nomination with the coffers full so she could decline public financing and spend $100,000,000 ++ on the General Election out of pocket. Well she is bloodied, broke and probably about to be hated by Barack supporters, but I didn’t mean for her to lose outright, but talk about enjoyment
…………steve
Oh &…. Sorry in advance about your Buckeyes!
M2…Well, this was a “rebuilding” year anyway. And OSU won the half-time kick off anyway…..steve
Zero wins vs the Top 20 this season & still a shot at the title… Can’t beat that opportunity!
Ba rock star Obama might be getting too much wind under his sails a little too early… We’ll see?
& the medias HRc fixation is/was beyond obvious & annoying. The people don’t want another Bush or Clinton (too many years with those foolish families in charge)…
M2………remember OSU beat Wisconsin, Penn State and Michigan which had 2 pre-season top 10’s and one top 15 (in addition to OSU). You play each other and you get beat and you fall out of the ranking pretty deep. Illinois beat OSU because of a bad (not disputed) ref call (looked horrible in the Rose Bowl though). But Ohio was destined for a rebuilding year and overachieved. Look how Michigan handed it to Florida.
Even this game given the drop in the endzone after the catch and the punt block attempt without a piece of the ball (how could you miss the ball) which led to a score for LSU and things could have come out different…………………
And Dixville Notch voting after midnight had 23 votes cast for Democrats and HRc & Edwards each gets 3 and Obama (I had to correct a typo that had an S in the 2nd position) gets 16. So Dixville Notch goes 70% for Obama. When do you think she pulls out? I think just after she turns so negative on Obama that it becomes clear that she has lost the natural Democratic base. BO is a nice guy but not game for the world stage, at least in the world we confront today. ………………… I’m looking harder and harder at Romney. By-the-way didn’t Richardson look silly in the most recent debates. He has to be more stupid than Biden or even what the left considers about Bush 43……….steve
