The WikiLeaks vindication of George W. Bush ~ By Larry Elder

I am so glad to see this column by Larry Elder. It turns out that some of those documents found in one of the WikiLeaks releases exposed the truth about WMD in Iraq, and will deny the liberals of using the "Bush Lied, People Died" mantra ever again. It's about time that the truth is finally revealed! I never doubted that there was WMD in Iraq, but I will forever wonder why George W. Bush quit trying to defend himself, and now I'll wonder even more!

But ... there ... was ... yellowcake. This brings us back to WikiLeaks.

Wired magazine's contributing editor, Noah Shachtman – a nonresident fellow at the liberal Brookings Institution – researched the 400,000 WikiLeaked documents released in October. Here's what he found: "By late 2003, even the Bush White House's staunchest defenders were starting to give up on the idea that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But WikiLeaks' newly released Iraq war documents reveal that for years afterward, U.S. troops continued to find chemical weapons labs, encounter insurgent specialists in toxins and uncover weapons of mass destruction (emphasis added). ... Chemical weapons, especially, did not vanish from the Iraqi battlefield. Remnants of Saddam's toxic arsenal, largely destroyed after the Gulf War, remained. Jihadists, insurgents and foreign (possibly Iranian) agitators turned to these stockpiles during the Iraq conflict – and may have brewed up their own deadly agents."

In 2008, our military shipped out of Iraq – on 37 flights in 3,500 barrels – what even the Associated Press called "the last major remnant of Saddam Hussein's nuclear program": 550 metric tons of the supposedly nonexistent yellowcake. The New York Sun editorialized: "The uranium issue is not a trivial one, because Iraq, sitting on vast oil reserves, has no peaceful need for nuclear power. ... To leave this nuclear material sitting around the Middle East in the hands of Saddam ... would have been too big a risk."

Now the mainscream media no longer deem yellowcake – the WMD Bush supposedly lied about – a WMD. It was, well, old. It was degraded. It was not what we think of when we think of WMD. Really? Square that with what former Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean said in April 2004: "There were no weapons of mass destruction." MSNBC's Rachel Maddow goes even further, insisting, against the overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that "Saddam Hussein was not pursuing weapons of mass destruction"!

Bush, hammered by the insidious "Bush Lied, People Died" mantra, endured one of the most vicious smears against any president in history. He is owed an apology.

Obama wants U.S. defenseless ~ By Joseph Farah

As always, Joseph says pretty much what I have been thinking. I am glad that he has the courage to write what he does. I can only assume that Obama's minions will not be happy with Farah's column, and I can only assume that Joseph Farah could care less about what they think.

The important thing that we must remember, is that for now, we still have the freedom to write and say what the truth is, and it is extremely urgent for us to do so before it's too late (if it isn't already). That can change. There could be a day when we may no longer have that freedom. That day could come at any time.

I can only assume his globalist sympathies are more important to him than the lives and safety of 300 million Americans he swore an oath to defend.

I can only assume his bizarre, twisted and un-American sense of morality is more important to him than the oath he swore to uphold the Constitution.

This man is dangerous – not just to our liberties but to our very lives and the very future of America.

Barack Obama's own administration may still be trying to explain away his announcement that the U.S. would never respond to a biological or chemical weapons attack on America with nuclear weapons, but this is hardly the first gaffe suggesting the man in the White House has no interest in defending the homeland.

Much less news coverage was afforded the decision by his Congress to defund an incredibly promising project that could offer protection to all U.S. citizens currently vulnerable to missile attack – including those carrying biological, chemical and nuclear weapons.

On Feb. 11, a high-powered laser successfully shot down a ballistic missile in a test off the coast of California. That was when the "airborne laser aircraft" demonstrated it is capable of destroying a missile traveling at 4,000 miles per hour.

This might have been greeted with sighs of relief given the news that has dominated the world lately – Iran's nuclear program and North Korea's nuclear tests. But it wasn't. Instead, it was greeted with a collective yawn from the complacent yet undefended American public and a choice by the Obama administration and Democratic-dominated Congress to pull the plug on the airborne laser system.

At the same time, the Obama administration is green-lighting plans by America's top technology companies, including Google and Yahoo!, to transfer strategic computer know-how to China, which is already acknowledged to be working on cyber-warfare capabilities that could pose tactical challenges to the U.S. in any future conflict.

Why should any of this surprise us? Obama's so-called "science czar," John Holdren, visited the Soviet Union during the Cold War as vice chairman of a group whose founder was accused of providing vital nuclear information that helped the Soviets build their atom bomb.

Holdren also has endorsed a "surrender of sovereignty" to what he called "a comprehensive Planetary Regime" that would control all the world's resources, direct global redistribution of wealth, oversee the "de-development" of the West, control a world army and taxation, and enforce world population controls.

However, it's worth noting not everyone in the world community shares Obama's apparent fondness for "we are the world"-style totalitarianism. Some countries would prefer to impose their own will on the rest of us.

In China, for instance, Senior Col. Liu Mingfu published a book, with the approval of Beijing, that calls for his country to make a "sprint" toward becoming the world's dominant military superpower.

China has also reportedly developed a high-tech ballistic missile capable of sinking U.S. aircraft carriers.

There can be no confusion about what China is doing with its aggressive military arms buildup.

Beijing may already be in full sprint for the finish line – a military showdown with the U.S. when America can least afford it.

As I've said before, I don't think Obama is dumb. I think he's a reasonably intelligent person fully capable of seeing what I'm seeing and understanding what it means.

Does Iraq make Bush a 'failed president'? - By Larry Elder

In his final press conference, President George W. Bush called failing to find WMD in Iraq a "disappointment." For many historians – not allowing a little history to pass before rendering judgment – this makes him a "failed president." His "crime"? For most of these historians, Bush led the country into an "unnecessary war." read more | digg story
