Big Media's Nero and John Kerry's Squirt Gun
It seems Dan Rather is doing his best Nero impersonation as CBS News and Big Media begin their slow burn to ashes. And while Rather glides his bow across the grating strings in staunch denial of the fall, John Kerry is running around with a squirt gun to douse the inferno.
An Excerpt from Kerry on the stump:
"In the al-Qaida manual on terror, they were telling people to go out and buy assault weapons, to come to America and buy assault weapons," Kerry said. "Every law enforcement officer in America doesn't want us selling assault weapons in the streets of America, but George Bush ,he says, 'Well, I'm for that.'"
Is it just me or does that sound like the guy who calls into a talk radio show and causes you to furrow your brow a bit and mumble something to yourself like, "Dude, what are you talking about?"
Didn't I see Kerry waiving a fire arm at a campaign rally a few days ago? And if we really want to start talking about Al Qaeda and assault weapons, shouldn't we start with say...box cutters? That's it! Call Barbara Boxer! Let's set up a committee and pass some legislation dang it! Al Qaeda beware! We mean business now, boy!
Lest we not forget Iraq, let me just point out a few things that make that little effort over there somewhat helpful too, Mr. Kerry:
-It is now known that Abdul Rahman Yasin, who mixed the chemicals used in the World Trade Center bombing in 1993 fled to Iraq and documents we've retrieved since we arrived on the scene show that he was put on the payroll and given housing by Saddam Hussein after the '93 attack; in other words, he was provided safe harbor and sanctuary.
-Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, still in Iraq today, is an al-Qaida associate who took refuge in Baghdad, found sanctuary and safe harbor there before we ever launched into Iraq. He was allowed to operate out of Baghdad by Saddam Hussein. He ran the poisons factory in northern Iraq out of Baghdad, and wakes up every morning with a new plan to kill as many Americans as possible, that is when he's not beheading them on the internet.
-CIA reports of Iraqi-al-Qaida cooperation number nearly 100 and extend back to 1992.
- Last year the London Guardian reported the deadly poison ricin discovered at a makeshift lab in a north London apartment was linked to a group of Algerian extremists with ties to al-Qaida and Iraq.
-On Jan. 27 of last year, White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said terrorist detainees from Afghanistan had implicated Iraq in providing training and support to al-Qaida. "We know, too, that several of the detainees, particularly some of the high-level detainees, have said that Iraq provided some training to al-Qaida and chemical weapons development", said Fleischer.
-Judge Harold Baer awarded families of two victims of the Sept. 11 terror attacks nearly $104 million in damages against Hussein and his Iraqi government along with bin Laden and the Taliban. Baer ruled the plaintiffs had shown that Iraq provided material support to bin Laden and his al-Qaida terror network. The judgment was awarded against the Taliban, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, al-Qaida, bin Laden, Hussein and the Republic of Iraq.
I could go on...But I think you may get the point.
