Here’s the link and it looks fine.

Now if we can get Terry to correct my name’s spelling…(grin)

“Kerry Says Saddam ‘Might Be Gone’ Had He Been President”.

Sure.

Pigs might fly too, though I wouldn’t bet the world’s security on it.

Newsday is saying that the IRS is finally taking on the NAACP’s tax exempt status.

About time. Is there any doubt that the NAACP is a wholely owned arm of the DNC?

Not after comments like what Bond puked up yesterday. Is there any wonder why support for Republicans among black voters has doubled in the last year alone?

An astonished The Times Online is reporting this morning that

“THE man whose presidential ambitions were destroyed when he plagiarised Neil Kinnock is set to become America’s chief foreign policymaker if John Kerry is elected President next Tuesday.
Senator Joseph Biden of Delaware has been asked by Mr Kerry to become Secretary of State in a Democratic administration, according to Kerry campaign aides”

Pesonally, the only thing that frightens me more than having Kerry as President and Ted Kennedy as Atty General, is Joe Biden running the State Dept.

It ought to scare the beep out of YOU, as well.

THE DRUDGE REPORT is saying just now that the tape with Mr. Perlman on it was authentic.

America, grow a pair.
Tell the Islamofacists we won’t have them dictating our elections.
Vote Bush.

OK, I guess I should admit it; I’ve never been too fond of the Red Sox.  And I’ve found myself particularly detached from them after the antics of their fans the other night.

However, I will also admit to being somewhat torn on this point, given that my favorite team is whoever happens to be kicking the living snot out of the Yankees at the moment.

The interesting thing about it, the ironic part, is that the BoSox Opening day of 2005, will be against the Yankees. Which of course, means that it’ll be that Yankee team that’ll be watching the World Series Champ flag being flown for the first time.

So, while I am not overly happy with the series outcome, I can live with it.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for this murderous bastard?

Sorry, but in my view they should have called in enough airstrikes on Ramallah to make some interesting glass sculptures out of it, upwards of 20 years ago. Brutal?

Perhaps. But it would have saved a lot of lives in the process. How many people has this guy killed, to vent his hate?

Perhaps it’s time to drag out the archives, and get you to read a little perspective.

Ann Coulter weighs in, noting that while Democrats only seem to notice blacks when the vote is pending..

“Here are your crumbs, your scraps, your measly handouts. Too bad you’re so childish, incompetent and dependent, huh? Now run along and cast your vote for the guy with the “D” next to his name and we’ll see you in four years, ‘K? Buh-bye, now. “

… the Republicans are doing things a bit differently….

“With no fanfare, President Bush has placed black stars like Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell in top positions in his administration. Kerry waited for complaints that the only black people in his campaign were setting up folding chairs at rallies before finding blacks for any prominent positions. (Another campaign slogan: “John Kerry: Pretending to Fight for Blacks Since Very Recently.”)

She also notes, almost as an afterthought something I consider important…

She points out that none of the Union thugs trashing RNC headquarters across the country, are breaking into NRA HQ’s…. Gee… I can’t think of why that would be, can YOU?

The answer to the missing explosives may have just been broken wide open… And this is not going to bode well for John Kerry. The story, written by no less than Bill Gertz, in tomorrow’s The Washington Times suggests that Russia had moved the missing weaponry from Iraq to Syria.

“John A. Shaw, the deputy undersecretary of defense for international technology security, said in an interview that he believes the Russian troops, working with Iraqi intelligence, “almost certainly” removed the high-explosive material that went missing from the Al-Qaqaa facility, south of Baghdad. “

Now, why would the Russians do this?  Simple;

“”The Russians brought in, just before the war got started, a whole series of military units,” Mr. Shaw said. “Their main job was to shred all evidence of any of the contractual arrangements they had with the Iraqis.

Now first, Long-time readers may recall I made repeated mention in this space that there were a long line of trucks having moved the weapons to Syria just prior to the US-led invasion. Score: Bithead, 1 point.

You may also recall that I made mention of Russia never getting involved in Iraq for the same reason as France; they were up to their asses in it with Saddam. Score Bithead, 1 point.

Now, given the situation, we now better understand why the rather interesting hands-off policy and hush up policy about that line of trucks headed from that area to Syria that I’ve been speaking about, all this time.

But more… Gertz reports….

“Defense officials said the Russians can provide information on what happened to the Iraqi weapons and explosives that were transported out of the country. Officials believe the Russians also can explain what happened to Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction programs.”

Think John Kerry’s people will have much to say about this?

Update: 102804085517

Boortz notes a bit of a discrepancy in the IAEA report… says they reported only 3 tons missing, not the 380 tons. Hmmm.

He also notes the Gertz story and wonders if it’ll slow Kerry’s lying spree down. He doubts it and so do I.

Whiskey over at CQ makes note of the Gertz story as well.  The Captain himself weighs in with a somewhat different angle.

However this falls out, it seems clear now that ths story is not what the press and John Kerry’s election comittee…(A redundancy) is telling us it is.

Reuters is reporting something of passing interest…

LONDON (Reuters) – Scientists in Australia have found a new species of hobbit-sized humans who lived about 18,000 years ago on an Indonesian island in a discovery that adds another piece to the complex puzzle of human evolution…

The partial skeleton of Homo floresiensis, found in a cave on the island of Flores, is of an adult female that was a meter (3 feet) tall, had a chimpanzee-sized brain and was substantially different from modern humans.

Brown and his colleagues have found the remains of seven other dwarf individuals at the same site since the first find.

“The other individuals all show similar characteristics, and over a time range that now extends from as long ago as 95,000 years to as recently as 13,000 years ago — a population of hobbits that seemed to disappear at about the same time as the pygmy elephants that they hunted,” said Bert Roberts, one of the authors of the Nature study.

Hobbits that hunted Oliphants.
Ya know if this wasn’t an election season, I might have actually had some time to have some fun with this.

Does it strike anyone else as insanity?

John Kerry’s complaining about a mere 380 tons of explosives, (which as it tunrs out, wasn’t the US’s fault, and Kerry’s properly gonna get spanked on that flub) but Kerry’s MORE than willing to provide a few megatons worth of explosive power to Iran…

Which is the bigger problem, people?
Priorities, ya know?

The most recent poling data comes to us from Pakistan, and is currently in the hands of the CIA, says Matt Drudge:

In the last week before the election, ABCNEWS is holding a videotaped message from a purported al Qaeda terrorist warning of a new attack on America, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

The terrorist claims on tape the next attack will dwarf 9/11. “The streets will run with blood,” and “America will mourn in silence” because they will be unable to count the number of the dead. Further claims: America has brought this on itself for electing George Bush who has made war on Islam by destroying the Taliban and making war on Al Qaeda.

ABCNEWS strongly denies holding the tape back from broadcast over political concerns during the last days of the election.

The CIA is analyzing the tape, a top federal source tells the DRUDGE REPORT.

ABCNEWS obtained the tape from a source in Waziristan, Pakistan over the weekend, sources tells DRUDGE

Big shock, huh? Particularly after Madrid.

Let’s see who is is we’re up against, here.

Drudge, again:

“US intelligence officials believe the man on tape may be Adam Gadhan – aka Adam Pearlman, a California native who was highlighted by the FBI in May as an individual most likely to be involved in or have knowledge of the next al Qaeda attacks.”

Adam Perlman? Nice Arab name, that.
Some self-hate going on here, as I’ve suggested in the past, with Johnny Walker.

Be that as it may; What these people are suggesting is that we should kiss some arab ass. Ask yourself Should Americans EVER do that? The question is, will the Us grow some balls and keep George W, Bush in office?

You’d better hope so.

‘Nuff said.

Update: I should have listened to my instincts; I knew I’d blogged this guy Perlman, before. Here’s the link.

Q&O is htis week’s BitsBlog of the week, because of Jon Henke’s post regards what he calls NYTroGate.

The AP, apparently seeing that the attempt to push the 380 tons of explosives being missing as Bush’s fault have backfired, are now reduced to trying the old, tired, discredited meme about Bush Deserted the National Guard posting.

The article charges that

” Unearthed under legal pressure, three-decade-old documents portray President Bush (news – web sites) as a capable and well-liked Air National Guard pilot who stopped flying and attending regular drills two-thirds of the way through his six-year commitment — without consequence.

Only one problem with the story; He’d already met the duty requirements at that point.. in spades…. as was revealed the last time they floated this garbage.

But this does reveal that the leftist press has run out of ammo to use against the President…. They’re now recycling the old lies in the hoeps that some of the undecideds don’t KNOW they’re lies.
