SANDY BERGER EXPOSED

Sandy "Pants" Berger is back in the news.  It turns out the former National Security Adviser during the Clinton Administration was busy after his little visit to the National Archives.  In fact, immediately following his five-finger discount routine, he hid classified documents under a construction trailer.  Sounds like an honest mistake to me.  So what punishment did Berger face for his little escapade?

First, a little history to refresh your memory.  Sandy Berger was preparing for his testimony in front of the 9/11 Commission back in 2003...and was reviewing documents at the National Archives.  It was during one of those visits that National Archives employees spotted Berger stuffing classified documents into his pants.  But now we have more information.  According to the Inspector General's report, here's what Sandy did when he rolled out of the National Archives:

"He headed toward a construction area.  Mr. Berger looked up and down the street, up into the windows of the Archives and the Department of Justice, and did not see anyone," says the report.  Berger then slid the documents under a construction trailer.  He came back later to pick them up.  Parts of the report were censored to protect national security.  Now, as outrageous as all of this sounds, I have two major observations.

One, where is the mainstream media on all of this?  If a Republican had done this...we would never hear the end of it.  Would the media have let them off the hook so easily?  Hardly.  Second...and more importantly...what was Sandy Berger up to?  What was he hiding?  Why go through all of that effort to hide something?  Up to this point, we don't know.

What we do know is that Berger was to testify to the 9/11 commission on what the Clinton Administration did or did not know about any links between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda .. among other things.

Does anyone know what was in those documents?  There had to be a reason Sandy Berger was stealing top-secret documents and destroying them.  We'll probably never know.

$100 BILLION MORE FOR THE TROOPS

Lots of headlines about this today.  The Pentagon wants $100 billion more dollars to fight the War On Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan.  They are unlikely to get this much money from the new Democratic Congress, which is bent on appeasement, strengthening our enemies, and surrender.  Are we prepared to fight and win the war against Islamic terrorism?  Well .. considering the fact that most Americans have forgotten that we're even at war, I think not. 

It's been 5 plus years since 9/11, and the threat of Islamic terrorism has been swept under he rug.  America has become lazy and complacent.  Islamic terrorists can now smell the fear, and will be ready to strike.  They know liberals that are in charge of lax airport security are their friends.  They know CAIR will be there to protest any life-saving racial profiling that might take place at airports.  The time is right for another strike.  And oh, it will happen. 

We are currently fighting the war on Islamic fascism on two major fronts ....one in Afghanistan and the other in Iraq.  Wars cost money.  But unfortunately, it doesn't seem that people are willing to see the cause through to the end.  This has thugs in Iraq like Al-Sadr and Al-Sistani smiling with approval.  They know their Democratic allies in the House and Senate will be pushing their appeasement strategy with full conviction.

How can we put a price on defending the United States against the most vicious enemy we've ever fought?  You can't...but don't worry, the Left will.  After spending trillions on throwaway government programs, suddenly the War On Terror is too expensive.  Typical.  If he's still alive, Osama has never been happier.

LINING UP FOR JOBS AMERICANS WON'T DO

So you know those meat packing plants where all those illegal aliens were busted for identity theft?  It turns out applicants are lining up to take those jobs.  But what about illegals supposedly doing jobs Americans don't want to do?  It would seem that doesn't apply here.  You may remember that was President Bush's justification for his sweeping amnesty proposal for the 12 million Mexican invaders currently in this country.  They do jobs Americans won't do.

But that is not the case with the Swift Meatpacking Company.  The line at one plant was out the door with job applicants for the new vacancies.  These are actually legally employable Americans this time.  They didn't jump the border and commit fraud....they just want to work.  One man showed up with his driver's license, his Social Security card and a picture of himself as a young Naval officer, just to erase any doubts that he might be here illegally.

All of this exposes the lie of illegal immigration:  that our economy needs illegal aliens.  Wrong.  The price we pay in higher crime, payments for social services and law enforcement far, far outweighs any cheap labor we might benefit from.  So from now on, when you hear George Bush say illegals do the work Americans won't, just know that it's a lie. 

Illegal aliens do the work Americans won't do for what the illegals are paid.  There you have it.  Put that in your sombrero and smoke it, Mr. President.

POT SHOTS

OK .. a word of admiration for Monica Lewinsky.  Yeah ... that Monica.  She has now graduated from the London School of Economics and is interviewing for jobs in Great Britain.  I had thought that she would always be known as the woman who went to Washington to get her "presidential kneepads."  Now that may be a mere footnote to a great career.  Good for her.

Do you have any idea what the most popular name for newborn male babies in the United Kingdom might be?  Well ... it's Jack.  Now that's some stunning news, isn't it?  But what about poor George?  George has always been quite the British name, hasn't it?  I mean, with King George and all.  Well you might be interest in knowing that Mohammed has now moved ahead of George on the list of most popular baby names in England.  That's a warning sign.  The Muslim encroachment on England is increasing .. but remember that there are cities in Europe where Mohammed is No. 1 on the list of baby names ... so England has a lot of catching up to do.

Kenneth Mott has a full white beard.  He drives a school bus on Long Island.  For the past five years he has been wearing a Santa Hat during the Christmas season.  Well .. along comes a parent who complains.  Now you just KNOW that this parent was a female.  She complains that her child doesn't believe in Santa Claus and is offended by the hat.  So the school district orders Mott to remove the hat.  Thankfully, other parents overruled this pathetic woman and the hat is now back on.  God save us from these idiots.

It looks like some prudes in the Johns Creek area of Atlanta will ultimately succeed in getting the "Love Shack" closed.  It seems that they sell sex toys there.  That's bad.  These same "citizens" aren't concerned about nearby stores that sell weapons or the stores that sell DVD movies showing people killing each other.  Violence and killing is OK.  Making love is not.

Someone has referred to Saddam Hussein as "calm, dignified and thoughtful."  Well, this might seem a little odd ... someone referring to a mass murderer like Saddam Hussein as "dignified", until you realize that the person who made those remarks was Ramsey Clark, a moonbat if ever there was one.

AN AMAZING YOUNG MAN

Usually I post hate mail on Nealz Nuze.  Let's face it, some of the emails from listeners who don't exactly worship in the Church of the Painful Truth can be quite amusing.  This time, though, I'm posting some favorable email.  This is from Thomas, a 19-year-old high school drop out who has more on the ball than most of our young men and women in college.  I just wanted you to read it.

If you want to send Thomas an email just send them to the show with "email for Thomas" as the subject and I'll forward them on.

READING ASSIGNMENTS

Iran is now announcing that it is a nuclear power.  And why are we allowing this?  Isn't it time to warm  up the bombers and aim squarely for the reactors and weapons of mass destruction in Tehran?  I guess not.

Ann Coulter and the New York Times don't seem to be getting along very much these days.  In today's column, she takes on the Times' Frank Rich, who has been predicting doom and gloom in Iraq since before we even went there.

Barack Obama mania has hit a fever pitch in New Hampshire and Washington D.C., where supporters of the Illinois Senator are running ads trying to draft him into the 2008 presidential race.  Quick...can anyone name anything Barack Obama has done since being elected to public office?  Time's up.....oh, can't think of anything?  Darn.

Another kindergartner is being hauled off to jail for sexual harassment.  Well, actually a Maryland 5-year-old is only being accused of an unwelcome sexual advance...something that will remain in his record for years.  Your government schools at work.

President Bush says there will be no direct talks with Iran until they suspend their nuclear program.  Of course there's no mention of what will happen if they don't suspend their program.  More toothless posturing from the White House.  Oh, but they're working on another UN resolution.  Yawn.

Dick Morris says Barack Obama represents the "un-Hillary" choice in the coming 2008 presidential Democratic primary.  He says Obama is inexperienced and points out that he only rose to power in the Senate after the GOP in Illinois failed to run a sane candidate against him.

Victor Davis Hanson takes a look at radical Islam around the world and says you'll find it in more places than you expect.  In country after country, extreme jihadist are striking fear into their victims.  So what can we do about it?  Hanson has some ideas.

Time recently named "You" as its 'Person Of The Year,' rather than a single individual.  George Will says it's hard to take this seriously and wonders why the magazine didn't pick somebody else.

Things are a bit messy in Iraq now, and former New York Mayor Ed Koch....a Bush and Iraq war supporter...takes a look at the situation.  He says we shouldn't take sides in the civil war...and he does call it a civil war.
