MORE DEATHS IN IRAQ

And just what did you expect?  Yes, today a couple of car bombs exploded outside of a police station in Baghdad.  At least 47 people were killed.  Partisans are going to blame the continuing violence on Bush.  That's easier than facing up to the realities of the situation.

Iraq is months away from popular elections.  Mullahs in Iran, the leaders of Syria and the ruling family in Saudi Arabia are all watching with great trepidation.  A popularly elected government in Iraq is a threat to them all.  Many of the insurgents in Iraq have been shown to be imports ...crossing the border from Iran and Syria. 

I know it sounds trite .. but freedom isn't free.  Americans have paid the price many times over.  Now Iraqis are.  There are, however, many people who don't want freedom ... they just want a dictator they can live with. 

DNC LIARS KEEP ON BASHING

Apparently the Democrats think they have discovered the key to The Poodle's election, because now they are continuing to bash President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard.  Tired of hearing about this?  You aren't the only one...but they won't let it go, so here we are.

Drudge has a story that the Democrats are set to send out a press release accusing the president of lying in 1978 when he ran for Congress.  "George W. Bush's campaign literature claimed that he 'served in the U.S. Air Force.' The only problem? He didn't,"  thunders the document.  Well, the only problem with that is that George W. Bush did indeed serve in the U.S. Air Force.   Drudge also has a document showing that the president was on active duty at an Air Force base for 120 days in 1968.  So much for that story.

Or maybe not.  Expect the DNC to go ahead with their press release, which supposedly also says "George Bush has a clear pattern of lying about his military service.  From 1978 to the present day, George Bush has refused to tell voters the truth about his service. It's time for the President to come clean."  Oh really?  Bush come clean about his military service?  And just when was it that John Kerry released all of his military records .. .medical records included?

Oh .. that's right.  He hasn't.  The Souffle still hasn't released all of his military records.  This is nothing more than the Democrats repeating a lie often enough in hopes that people will think it's true.  Pretty pathetic when you realize that they can't compete on the issues, so we get this.

Expect the media to go along with it too. 120 days of active-duty Air Force service will be downplayed as not really being in the Air Force, and the hyper-leftists at the DNC will continue to demand the president "come clean."

Such is their hatred for the president that they are now just making things up.

CBS "EXPERT" SAYS WAIT A MINUTE

This is getting embarrassing.  How long before CBS fesses up to knowingly broadcasting fictitious documents?  At what point does whatever shred of credibility they have left go completely out the window?  Well, they're not done yet.  This National Guard document business continues to get worse and worse.

The expert that CBS retained to examine the documents has now come out and said hey...wait a minute...I never really authenticated the documents.  He says all he authenticated was the signature.  He says he made no attempt to authenticate the documents. Now even the Washington Post has called them into question.

Yet CBS continues to drink the Kerry campaign Kool-Aid.  What they won't reveal is where the documents came from.  Since they are most likely complete forgeries, where did they come from?  CBS itself?  Did some enterprising producer trying to break a big story just make them up?  Did the DNC type them up in Microsoft Word, run them through the copier a few times, then fax them to Dan Rather?  Actually .. I think not.  But I'm sure the Kerry campaign wishes that this particular kafuffle hadn't come about.  People know the documents were forged, even if CBS won't admit it, and the natural inclination is to look to the Kerry campaign for a source.  CBS needs to clear the air.

There is much, much more to this story. Stay tuned.

NORTH KOREA NOT TESTING WEAPONS...UH-HUH

According to North Korea, a huge explosion there last week was not a nuclear test, as some had suspected, but rather a demolition blast to make way for a hydro-electric dam.  Right...and John Kerry isn't the most liberal member of the United States Senate, either.  So why is the media believing North Korea's explanation?

As you might expect, South Korea wasn't too pleased with the idea, so they were questioning it first.  Colin Powell says he doesn't think it was a nuclear test...but how long are we going to wait for one?  North Korea is developing nuclear weapons, and probably has some already (thank you Bill Clinton and Madeline Albright --- and a very special thanks to Jimmy Carter, the man who never met a dictator he didn't like.)  Are we going to let Mr. Insane himself, Kim Jong-Il, off the hook whenever something comes up?

What happened to the "Axis of Evil?"  Time to stop talking and start acting against terrorist regimes with nuclear weapons.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

At least 17,000 passengers have filed complaints over baggage theft with the TSA.  One guy even lost his 75-pound Alaskan halibut.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is talking about "removing" Yasser Arafat.  Some say that means he intends to kill Arafat.  What's the hold up? 

Confused about what The Poodle would do in Iraq if he were elected?  So is Mort Kondracke, who says confusion reigns over the issue when it comes to the Democratic ticket.

The CBS National Guard documents are fakes...yet CBS continues to stand by them.  William Safire takes a look at the issue.

The Democrats don't understand Zell Miller's speech to the Republican National Convention because they just don't get it.  Daniel Sterman says it all comes down to one line in the speech about The Poodle.

Only black leaders with no regard for the facts are vilifying the GOP.  Alphonso Jackson explains, and also says Democrats have had the monopoly on black votes for far too long.

Have the Democrats realized by now that The Poodle is an unusually bad candidate?  They should, says David Limbaugh.

So what is behind Bush's  recent surge?  Matt Towery says people are starting to come to their senses and realize that the president is the best candidate to protect the public from terrorism.

With all of the hurricanes in Florida, you will hear a lot about price-gouging.  But what exactly is price-gouging, and if it isn't allowed, then what are prices for in the first place?  As only he can, Thomas Sowell breaks it down.

By his obsession with Vietnam, The Poodle really missed out on one issue he could have scored against Bush on: tax reform. Bruce Bartlett explains the issue.

Still confused by John Kerry's stand on Iraq?  So is Rich Lowry, who attempts to explain it all.
