NOT PREPARED FOR TERRORISM

The still-useless 9/11 Commission has weighed in on the progress we as a country have made since Islamic terrorists murdered 3,000 innocent people on September 11, 2001. [related: 9/11 Public Discourse Project] Their verdict?  Tom Keane, the former chairman of that committee, appeared on Meet The Press yesterday and said that "A lot of the things we need to do really to prevent another 9/11 just simply aren't being done by the president or by the Congress.  What we're concerned about now is that these recommendations -- four years, more than four years after 9/11, are still not being done. People are not paying attention to them."  Well, he may be right.  People may well not be paying attention to the 9/11 Commission recommendations.  And just why would that be?  Could it possibly be due to the fact that there hasn't been another terrorist attack?

The dangerous truth is that Americans have simply forgotten about 9/11 and have returned to their September 10th complacency.  Ironically, it was the Democratic chairman of the commission that nailed that on the head.  Lee Hamilton said that another attack will occur...not a question of if, but when.  You can take that to the bank.  All it will take is a single Islamic extremist toting a dirty bomb into a busy downtown during lunch time or a crowded sporting event and detonating it.  Hundreds of thousands of people could be made ill or die. 

Maybe the next attack will be another attack on an American airliner.  Not from the inside, but from the outside.  Did you hear that  the pilot of an American Airlines Flight bound for Chicago told controllers last month that a missile had been fired at his aircraft on departure from LAX ... and missed.  The pilot said he saw a smoke trail pass by the cockpit.  Now .. get this.  The FBI is saying it might have been a bottle rocket.  Yeah ---- that's it.  A bottle rocket.  Airline pilots are extremely cautious about reporting any strange incidents in flight.  They don't like the paperwork.  They don't like the whispers that "So-and-so is seeing UFOs."  If a pilot says he saw a missile smoke trail by his window, I'm predisposed to believe him.  Bottle rocket?  No way. 

Remember .. it's not if.  It's when.

Remember, Neal Boortz says every time someone says "Happy Holidays" an elf DIES.


 


NUCLEAR IRAN

Muhammad El-Baradei, the head of the IAEA...the UN's nuclear watchdog division, says he agrees with Israel....Iran is only a few months away from creating an atomic bomb.  However, he warns against anybody actually doing anything about it....fearing Iran would retaliate.  Now that's a great plan, isn't it?  A sworn enemy is well on the way to developing nukes, and you just sit back and do nothing because you're afraid they may retaliate.  Just let them proceed until they actually have the nuclear weapons in hand.  A typically useless position from the Nobel prize-winning bureaucrat.

Now think for just a minute....Iran is going to have a nuclear weapon.  Iran has gone on record calling for the destruction of Israel and the United States.  Soon they will have an atomic warhead to do just that.  So what should we do about it?  The answer is simple.... you destroy their capacity to manufacture nuclear weapons!  Besides, newly democratic Iraq could use a little parking space.  That nuclear facility would make a nice slab of asphalt. 

But it won't happen, unless the Israelis do it.  There is simply no will in this country to take Iran on...and you can bet the Anti-Semitic UN will soon be warning Israel not to take any action.  Maybe Iran won't launch the nuke.....they'll just sell it to Al-Zarqawi.  Comforting thought, isn't it?

THE SADDAM CIRCUS

Well if this isn't a crushing blow to international justice, I don't know what is.  The trial of Saddam Hussein, currently underway in Baghdad, hit a bit of a bump this morning.  It seems Saddam's lawyer, former United States Attorney General Ramsey Clark got his panties in a bunch over not being able to address the court.  Ever the treasonous leftist, Clark wanted to make a speech addressing the legitimacy of the court.  The judge told him no, and so Saddam's legal team stormed out.  Too bad.  What ever will we do?  The trial will go on.

But now we have the Anti-American United Nations weighing in on the Saddam trial.  The UN said yesterday that Hussein's trial does not meet international standards of justice because of flaws in Iraq's legal system, whatever that means.  Perhaps the big flaw is that somehow all of those fat oil-for-food checks from Saddam to the members of the security council have stopped coming, and they're none too happy about their sugar daddy being on trial.

The UN, more concerned with their oil-for-food money than the hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) that were murdered by Saddam is complaining about the dictator's trial.  You can bet that they would have no such concerns if the French were running the tribunal.  Or the Germans.  But because it's the new Iraqi government, which wouldn't be there without U.S. help...well, it's a bad idea.

Everybody knows Saddam is guilty...how about a holiday hanging on pay-per-view to demonstrate the wonders of capitalism to the newly liberated Iraqi people?  Only $39.95...and proceeds would go in the Zarqawi reward fund!

DID YOU KNOW ...

... that there is a proposal out there under which no company may develop or sell any software for your computer unless and until that software has been approved by the U.S. Federal government, more particularly the FBI.  The goal here is to guarantee to the intelligence services a way to get into your computer through some back door should they ever desire to do so.  This is called freedom, in case you didn't know.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey asks the question in this op-ed that quite a few people would like answered: why are Republicans governing like Democrats?

Joe Lieberman came out in support of the war in Iraq and the left and the media ignored it, yet they had high praise for surrender artist John Murtha.  Mark Steyn says Democrats are determined to ignore progress in Iraq.

Michael Barone tells us George Bush is finally getting specific
with his offensive on promoting progress in Iraq.  What exactly are the specifics?  Read on.

Ever notice that Democrats are eager to praise John Murtha, yet they are nowhere to be found when it comes to actually following his advice?  Victor Davis Hanson says the success in Iraq is going to leave critics scrambling.

Marines fighting in Iraq might want to pay attention to Congress....it seems while our fighting men and women are trying to win the War On Terror, the House and Senate are trying to turn their ships into museums. Robert Novak has more.

Governors of both parties are doing their best to increase the Medicaid program in their states.  Merrill Matthews reminds us not to forget that Medicaid is nothing more than welfare.

Professor Mike Adams reports on some activity at the University of Texas that goes far beyond political correctness and strays into anti-religious freedom territory.

The Baby Jesus has suggested college students stuck in classes with left-wing professors start tape-recording the outrageous statements.  Jennifer Roback Morse has a better idea.

Star Parker says the new dress code in the NBA is a good one
and she almost debated Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube on ESPN over it.  But she says she likes it for different reasons than the league does.

Columnist Debra Saunders voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor....but she wonders just exactly what he's doing these days, besides trying his best to be like the man he beat.

Have you been wondering why all of a sudden we're seeing a rather well organized campaign against all that is Wal-Mart?  Well, as the song says, look for the union label. 

Do you know what a Locrian is?  We could sure use this system today.  Read this excellent George Will column about these supposed obscene profits that the oil companies were making, and the ridiculous laws some political hacks introduced to try to take those profits away.

Paul Jacob writes that the totalitarian impulse is rearing its head again ... in America.  This time in Oklahoma.  It's all about trying to keep your political opponents from being heard. 

Oh yeah .. those Europeans are really big on the human rights thing ... but only as long as they can use the human rights cause to bash America over the head. 

How would you like to be married to this gal?  Tailor made for a dumb jock.  And how about that fake smile and the freakin' ugly tat? 

The FairTax and it's Implications for the U.S. Economy, part 2 of an article by a University of Georgia on the FairTax.
