Another one cleared

It looks like another United States service member who DEMOCRAT Rep. John Murtha accused of “cold Blooded Murder” has had all charges against him dropped.

I sincerly hope this young Marine either joins in the present suit, or ffiles his own against the traitorous party member who so willingly aided and abetted the terrorists in Iraq by publicly stating he had inside information on Haditha.

How Murtha can look at himself in the mirror would be beyond my comprehension if I did not know he was a DEMOCRAT who, like most DEMOCRATS, thinks are heroes are all cold blooded thugs.

Sometimes a broad reach is justified

Alan Dershowitz has an article in the Wall Street Journal that basically lays out the opinion that Spitzer should not have been investigated and/or prosecuted for soliciting prostitution.

Although I generally agree with him he failed to make a vital point. An official, especially a leader, in the executive branch of any level of governmet must always be held to a higher standard. In Mr. Spitzers case, as the leader of the states executive branch he held a large amount of power in the administration and prosecution of state law. His actions endangered that by making him an easy target for extortion. Just as the Military prosecutes officers for offences that would never be applied to enlisted men, so should the government have an iron fist when it comes to the conduct of our nations law enforcement and executive personnel.

It would not take a genuis to see pressure being applied to Spitzer by the owner of the prostitution ring if they found themselves the target of prosecution. Having the Governor of New York in your pocket would be a pretty tempting treat for someone whose entire business is a front for illegal activity.

Quote of the day (swiped from OpinionJournal.com)

“I took the liberal view for many decades, but I believe I have changed my mind. As a child of the ’60s, I accepted as an article of faith that government is corrupt, that business is exploitative, and that people are generally good at heart…. [Now I] question my hatred for ‘the Corporations’ — the hatred of which, I found, was but the flip side of my hunger for those goods and services they provide and without which we could not live. And I began to question my distrust of the ‘Bad, Bad Military’ of my youth, which, I saw, was then and is now made up of those men and women who actually risk their lives to protect the rest of us from a very hostile world…. I began reading not only the economics of Thomas Sowell (our greatest contemporary philosopher) but Milton Friedman, Paul Johnson, and Shelby Steele, and a host of conservative writers, and found that I agreed with them: a free-market understanding of the world meshes more perfectly with my experience than that idealistic vision I called liberalism” — Playwright David Mamet, writing in the Village Voice on why he is no longer a “brain-dead liberal.”

Smart military decision

Tha Air force has awarded the contract to build the new fleet of Tankers to the French.

Now normally I want ALL military equipment built in the U.S. by U.S. workers because this is national defence we are talking about. However, unlike every other aircraft in the Pentagons fleet, Tankers are unique in that they must avoid combat situations at all costs. And if anyone knows about avoiding combat, that would be the French.
