LIVE FROM SAN DIEGO


Ken, Royal, Belinda & Neal

The Neal Boortz Show begins at 5:30 a.m. this morning ... San Diego time. That's relevant because we're in San Diego to do the show today. That's relevant why? Because I happen to be in San Diego, that's why. Sooooo ... today the Boortz crew, Bryan, Belinda, Royal, Ken and Laura, get their turn at preparing the program notes. I'll just expand on them when I get on the air. Check out what my crew thinks is hot today!

IRAQ HAD NO STOCKPILES...SO WHAT?

The media and the Democrats, along with The Poodle's campaign are all excited about Charles Duelfer's testimony in front of the Senate Armed Services Committee.  His verdict?  There are no stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.  Big whoop...why is this really news?  Haven't we been hearing this for over a year?

The headlines all say the same thing...CIA adviser says Iraq had no banned weapons since 1991...no WMD in Iraq...and so on.  The implication is essentially 'Bush lied, people died.'  This is where media bias comes in big-time...as some of the stories showed.  After all, bad news for Bush is good news for Kerry...and the media.  But really, what we have here is old news.

It's been known since the report from David Kaye that nobody could find any stockpiles of WMD in Iraq.  It's just not news.  But what's also interesting in this case, is that some of the other more important testimony by Duelfer is being ignored.  For instance, Saddam did not abandon his nuclear ambitions, he merely put them on hold.  As soon as the heat was off, he was going to start making nuclear weapons.  He had the ability and the desire.

Let's talk about biological weapons.  Duelfer testified that Iraq could have restarted its program and produced mustard agent in months, and nerve agent in less than a year.  So Saddam wasn't a threat, huh?  All he would have had to do is restart that program, and sell some of that nerve agent to an Islamic terrorist.

What the Democrats would have done, had they been in power, would have been to wait until Saddam did just that.  They would have waited until he posed an even greater threat to the world, the region and his neighbors before they did anything.  So they didn't find any stockpiles...who cares?  The dictator is out of power, is no longer a threat to the rest of the world, is no longer killing and torturing his own people, and will never produce weapons of mass destruction again.  Iraq was a terrorist state, and we took action.

Al-Qaeda doesn't have any WMD stockpiles either...should we look the other way there?  I think not.

PRESIDENT BLASTS THE POODLE

President Bush is finally striking back hard at The Poodle's campaign, in advance of his debate with The Souffle tomorrow night in St. Louis.  It's about time..because the left has been getting away with murder on the stump, and it's time somebody called them on it.

Speaking to a crowd in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania yesterday, the president lit up The Johns, in particular about tax policy, which will no doubt come up in the debate tomorrow night.  "The senator is proposing higher taxes on more than 900,000 small business owners.  My opponent is one of the few candidates in history to campaign on a pledge to raise taxes. And that's the kind of promise a politician from Massachusetts usually keeps."  That's right, The Poodle has pledged to raise taxes on the evil rich, or those making $200,000 a year.

But, as Bush points out, that includes small business owners, who employ the majority of people in this country.  Ever get a job from a poor person?  I didn't think so.  This whole nonsense about only raising the taxes on the rich never works anyway.  Remember Bill Clinton's promise to only do that?  That's right...everybody wound up paying.  The fact is the Democrats could confiscate all of the wealth from the rich, and they wouldn't be able to pay for their programs.

President Bush also hit back over the war on terror, saying "Senator Kerry approaches the war with a September the 10th mindset ... that any attack will be met with a swift and certain response. That was the mindset of the 1990s, while Al Qaeda was planning the attacks on America. After September the 11th, our object in the War on Terror is not to wait for the next attack and respond but to prevent attacks by taking the fight to the enemy."  This strikes at the very core of the left's position on national security, and the president needs to talk about it more.

A President Kerry (yikes) would not take preemptive action to stop another attack on this country.  He said so at the debate.  Every attack would be met with a response.  The current administration doesn't want to wait for another 9/11 to happen, they want to stop it first. The Poodle would wait for it to happen, then respond.

As long as France said it was okay.

DEJA VU ALL OVER AGAIN

The Democrats know that this election is going to be close...very close.  It could wind up like the 2000 election...coming down to a few hundred votes in some swing state like Florida or Ohio.  If that happens, will the Kerry campaign concede and admit they lost the election?  Of course not...they will try to still win.  As is always the case with Democrats, what they can't win at the ballot box, they'll try to win in court, and it's already getting started.

The Poodle's campaign sent out an e-mail Monday night asking for donations for a potential recount...just in case it comes to that.  Of course, if it is any where close, they will demand a recount, and they will not honor the result.  After all, as John Edwards said, nobody in their right mind would vote for George Bush, would they?

Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill wrote in that e-mail:  "Right now I need all of you to join me and make a pledge: The mistakes of the 2000 election will NEVER be repeated again."  What mistakes?  That their candidate took weeks to concede an election that he rightfully lost?  That Al Gore tried to steal the election by only hunting for votes in counties where he thought he could win?

The only similarities between 2000 and 2004 is that the Democrats will once again try to steal the election if they do not win.

MEDIA IGNORING AFGHANISTAN ELECTIONS

The first presidential elections in Afghanistan's history will be held Saturday, and the media couldn't care less.  That's too bad, because this development represents a stunning victory by the United States in the war on terror, and by extension, George Bush.

Already, the elections are being minimized in the media.  We are told the elections are being "staged" and that democracy there is an "experiment."  In other words, they want the United States to fail.  The reasoning is quite simple: any success in Afghanistan would benefit the campaign to reelect George Bush.  Since the media wants to install The Poodle on November 2nd, they must downplay any success in the war on terror.  You can already tell this because they have "serious doubts" about that country's ability to hold elections.

But the facts are the facts...and Afghanistan is doing quite well, compared to where it was.  What once was a terrorist state that was harboring Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden, is no longer so.  The Taliban are either dead or out of power, and much of Al-Qaeda was killed.  By any measure, the war in Afghanistan has been a success.

It really is too bad....but remember, what's good for the United States is good for George Bush, and we can't have that, can we?

SADDAM'S FRENCH BUDDIES

Memos from Iraqi Intelligence officials show that Saddam Hussein's former regime in Iraq thought it had some special friends on the UN Security Council that would stop any American invasion.  Apparently the French were assuring Hussein that his country would not be invaded, because they said they would block the vote.  What would be their motivation for doing this?

Other than hating the United States and appeasing terrorists, it comes down to money...specifically, oil.  The French government had oil contracts with Iraq, and Saddam promised them more contracts if they used their vote in the UN Security Council against any attack by the United States.  Not exactly the behavior of a supposed long-standing ally, is it?

Some like to talk about how the United States invaded Iraq just for its oil...but as more documents are found and more information is released, it's looking more and more like it was the axis of weasels that was concerned about oil.

France is no longer an ally of the United States, and hasn't been for a long time.  This is just one in a long line of reasons why.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Ann Coulter weighs in on the vice-presidential debate....she says the heart patient outran the ambulance chaser.

A UN inspector has been accused of taking large bribes from Saddam Hussein to divert money from the rip-off oil-for-food program.  The UN...corrupt?  You don't say!

The Euro-weenies have been invited by the State Department to observe our presidential elections.  They are looking for "weaknesses and vulnerabilities."  Aren't they in the wrong country?  What about Venezuela?

Here is the full transcript of President Bush's speech in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania yesterday in which he roasted The Poodle.

So who won the vice presidential debate?  John Podhoretz says it wasn't even close...Dick Cheney cleaned John Edwards' clock.

John Edwards was like a deer in the headlights.....Dick Cheney looked like a man and The Trial Lawyer looked like a boy.  Dick Morris explains.

And why did Cheney win?  Because he took on The Poodle...who wasn't there to defend himself.  Phil Boas has more.

David Winston says Edwards was just outmatched....Cheney put The Poodle's 20-year Senate voting record on the chopping block.

The VP debate has now set up Friday night's Bush/Kerry debate quite nicely...as Fred Barnes explains.

Elections are being held this week in Afghanistan, and the left is ignoring it.  William Safire says this miracle should not be ignored.

It didn't take long for the media to start their Cheney-bashing, beginning with CBS, which said that Cheney "scares" voters.  The Media Research Center has a full report.

Bush didn't win the first debate, in part because he failed to respond to John Kerry's assertions about Iraq.  Larry Elder picks up the slack, and has a full analysis.

John Edwards seemed a little sleazy during the debate, and as Joel Mowbray points out, Cheney may have emerged from the debate with a more favorable impression.

Democrats love to talk about how not enough people are voting.  Thomas Sowell says they only way the left gets people to vote is to scare certain groups and pit them against each other.

The Bush campaign says it is going for an all-out victory in Iraq, but Robert Novak isn't so sure.  He thinks whoever wins is going to be looking to pull out of Iraq next year.

For some people, an alarm clock isn't quite enough to get them out of bed. Maybe being vibrated out of bed would work.
