What happened to the internal Iraqi government documents that top U.S. weapons inspector David Kay said had convinced him that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction?
In January 2004, Kay told Congress that the U.S. was "almost all wrong" in believing that Saddam had WMDs.
But six months earlier in July 2003, Kay said he was sure Iraq had the banned weapons - based on millions of pages of internal government documents recovered from Saddam's regime.
"I've already seen enough to convince me," Kay told then-NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw. "You cannot believe how many cases we have of documents and equipment that are stored in private residences," he added.

At the same time, she said the United States must "finish what it started" in Iraq.

Reaping What They Sow
IT’S AS IF RACHEL CORRIE WERE KILLED BY THE PLO, and her parents blamed Israel, anyway. Yesterday, the previously unknown jihadist group “The Swords of Righteousness Brigade” took hostage four Westerners – including American Tom Fox – for allegedly acting as “undercover spies.” However, all four men belonged to Christian Peacemaker Teams, a “peace” organization of human shields that blamed 9/11 on American foreign policy, ran an “Adopt-a-Detainee” campaign, regularly interfered with Israeli anti-terror operations, trespassed at a U.S. military base during wartime, has waged a relentless propaganda campaign against the American “occupation” of Iraq, has demonstrated against Americans and capitalists around the world – and blames the abduction of its members on President Bush.

Fed up with being endlessly told "the American people" have turned against the war in Iraq, Republicans asked the Democrats to show what they had in their hand and vote on a resolution to withdraw the troops. By a vote of 403-3, the House of Representatives wasn't willing to bet that "the American people" want to pull out of Iraq. (This vote also marked the first time in recent history that the Democrats did not respond to getting their butts kicked by demanding a recount.) The vote is all the more shocking because of what it says about the Democrats' motives in attacking the war — as well as alerting us to three members of Congress we really need to keep an eye on. The Democrats are giving aid and comfort to the enemy for no purpose other than giving aid and comfort to the enemy. There is no plausible explanation for the Democrats' behavior other than that they long to see U.S. troops shot, humiliated, and driven from the field of battle. They fill the airwaves with treason, but when called to vote on withdrawing troops, disavow their own public statements. These people are not only traitors, they are gutless traitors.

PEOPLE who are officially classed as overweight are not necessarily putting their health at risk and going on a diet could be dangerous, according to new research.
A row has been raging after a controversial US study earlier this year found that those deemed to be overweight - because of their high weight to height ratio - actually had a lower chance of dying prematurely than people whose weight was "normal". THEN Universal Health Care in England is discriminating against heavier people and requiring un-safe weight loss before allowing hip and knee replacements. Boy! Science is SOOO reliable!!!! You'd think the anti-God crowd would be tired of all the flip-flops from their deity: Science.
Since the sexual revolution escalated forty years ago, morality in America has been in a state of rapid decline. In only four decades, we have gone from a country of traditional family values to a nation of widespread promiscuity, cohabitation, soaring divorce rates, and an explosion of sexual crime committed against women and children. How could things go so wrong so fast?
Many experts answer this question with two words: Alfred Kinsey.

The congressman at the center of the battle last week over withdrawal of troops from Iraq removed the results from his own Internet poll on the subject after online voters overwhelmingly opposed his stance.
Rep. Jack Murtha, D-Pa., posted the poll after he ignited a firestorm in the House that led to Republicans forcing a quick vote on the issue Friday.
While a revised poll page remains on the site, the link to it from his homepage has been removed, making the survey effectively invisible to the public.

9th Circuit Judge Sets Standard for Liberal Activism (CNSNews.com) - The "right to privacy," which liberals maintain is implied in the U.S. Constitution and which was used by the U.S. Supreme Court to legalize abortion in 1973, apparently mattered little to Judge Stephen Reinhardt of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this month when he ruled on a case involving parental rights.

Measures would empower the president to appoint seven justices to a new appeals court.
Members of the House of Representatives are giving renewed attention to breaking up the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after last week's ruling that parents have no rights concerning what their children are taught in public school. Ruled on , no doubt, by a self-righteous robed sage who has never had children of his/her own; yet still thinks he/she has the ability to make a judgement on a matter they no nothing of.

Carter condemns abortion culture
While Mr. Carter has previously expressed ambivalence about abortion, his statements yesterday were "astonishing," said Robert Knight, director of the Culture and Family Institute at Concerned Women for America. "He has long professed to be an evangelical Christian and yet he had embraced virtually all the liberal political agenda," said Mr. Knight. "Maybe with Jimmy Carter saying things he never uttered before, more liberals will rethink their worship of abortion as the high holy sacrament of liberalism."

Day Eight: Now that the mainstreamers can't keep the knowledge that Paris is being burned by Muslims from coming to light. I can't help but ponder the irony.
Riots have now continued for eight days in and around Paris. Thursday night, November 3, Muslim rioters burned 315 cars. In the previous week, they torched 177 vehicles and burned numerous businesses, a post office, and two schools. They have rampaged through twenty towns and shot at police and firemen. In an episode that summed up the failure of France’s efforts to create a domestic, domesticated Islam, when moderate Muslim leader Dalil Boubakeur, head of the Paris mosque, tried to restore calm, his car was pelted with stones and he had to rush away.

Top PC Peeves for 2005...Telling Time: Microsoft Windows XP and Internet Explorer tell me how long it will take to download large files, such as those holding software and videos. This is helpful. Even with broadband, the connection is usually slow enough for me to get a time estimate.
Unfortunately, the estimate means nothing. First the dialog box tells me 99 minutes, then it suddenly drops to 9 minutes, then 6 minutes, then it's back up to 9 minutes again, then 30 seconds, then 60 seconds, and then, unbelievably, 2 minutes.

DESPITE THE HISTRIONIC RHETORIC EMANATING FROM THE LEGAL LEFT on the apocalyptic consequences of his confirmation to the Supreme Court, Judge Samuel A. Alito Jr. – in addition to being an eminently qualified Originalist jurist – has another attractive attribute: a history of favoring the rights of minorities. In his 15 years on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, Alito has compiled a reputation for safeguarding the rights of blacks, religious minorities, and persecuted women that would be the envy of any left-winger. Yet the "right" to kill babies remains eminent in their(lib's) hearts.
