Title: COULTER: BUSH'S AMERICA: 100 PERCENT AL-QAIDA FREE SINCE 2001

Quote
In a conversation recently, I mentioned as an aside what a great president George Bush has been and my friend was surprised. I was surprised that he was surprised.

I generally don't write columns about the manifestly obvious, but, yes, the man responsible for keeping Americans safe from another terrorist attack on American soil for nearly seven years now will go down in history as one of America's greatest presidents.

Produce one person who believed, on Sept. 12, 2001, that there would not be another attack for seven years, and I'll consider downgrading Bush from "Great" to "Really Good."

Merely taking out Saddam Hussein and his winsome sons Uday and Qusay (Hussein family slogan: "We're the Rape Room People!") constitutes a greater humanitarian accomplishment than anything Bill Clinton ever did -- and I'm including remembering Monica's name on the sixth sexual encounter.

But unlike liberals, who are so anxious to send American troops to Rwanda or Darfur, Republicans oppose deploying U.S. troops for purely humanitarian purposes. We invaded Iraq to protect America.

It is unquestionable that Bush has made this country safe by keeping Islamic lunatics pinned down fighting our troops in Iraq. In the past few years, our brave troops have killed more than 20,000 al-Qaida and other Islamic militants in Iraq alone. That's 20,000 terrorists who will never board a plane headed for JFK -- or a landmark building, for that matter.

We are, in fact, fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them at, say, the corner of 72nd and Columbus in Manhattan -- the mere mention of which never fails to enrage liberals, which is why you should say it as often as possible.

The Iraq war has been a stunning success. The Iraqi army is "standing up" (as they say), fat Muqtada al-Sadr --the Dr. Phil of Islamofascist radicalism -- has waddled off in retreat to Iran, and Sadr City and Basra are no longer war zones. Our servicemen must be baffled by the constant nay-saying coming from their own country.

The Iraqis have a democracy -- a miracle on the order of flush toilets in that godforsaken region of the world. Despite its newness, Iraq's democracy appears to be no more dysfunctional than one that would condemn a man who has kept the nation safe for seven years while deifying a man who has accomplished absolutely nothing in his entire life except to give speeches about "change."

(Guess what Bill Clinton's campaign theme was in 1992? You are wrong if you guessed: "bringing dignity back to the White House." It was "change." In January 1992, James Carville told Steve Daley of The Chicago Tribune that it had gotten to the point that the press was complaining about Clinton's "constant talk of change.")

Monthly casualties in Iraq now come in slightly lower than a weekend with Anna Nicole Smith. According to a CNN report last week, for the entire month of May, there were only 19 troop deaths in Iraq. (Last year, five people on average were shot every day in Chicago.) With Iraqi deaths at an all-time low, Iraq is safer than Detroit -- although the Middle Eastern food is still better in Detroit.

Al-Qaida is virtually destroyed, surprising even the CIA. Two weeks ago, The Washington Post reported: "Less than a year after his agency warned of new threats from a resurgent al-Qaida, CIA Director Michael V. Hayden now portrays the terrorist movement as essentially defeated in Iraq and Saudi Arabia and on the defensive throughout much of the rest of the world, including in its presumed haven along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border."

It's almost as if there's been some sort of "surge" going on, as strange as that sounds.

Just this week, The New York Times reported that al-Qaida and other terrorist groups in Southeast Asia have all but disappeared, starved of money and support. The U.S. and Australia have been working closely with the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia, sending them counterterrorism equipment and personnel.

But no one notices when 9/11 doesn't happen. Indeed, if we had somehow stopped the 9/11 attack, we'd all be watching Mohammed Atta being interviewed on MSNBC, explaining his lawsuit against the Bush administration. Maureen Dowd would be writing columns describing Khalid Sheik Mohammed as a "wannabe" terrorist being treated like Genghis Khan by an excitable Bush administration.

We begin to forget what it was like to turn on the TV, see a tornado, a car chase or another Pamela Anderson marriage and think: Good -- another day without a terrorist attack.

But liberals have only blind hatred for Bush -- and for those brute American interrogators who do not supply extra helpings of béarnaise sauce to the little darlings at Guantanamo with sufficient alacrity.

The sheer repetition of lies about Bush is wearing people down. There is not a liberal in this country worthy of kissing Bush's rear end, but the weakest members of the herd run from Bush. Compared to the lickspittles denying and attacking him, Bush is a moral giant -- if that's not damning with faint praise. John McCain should be so lucky as to be running for Bush's third term. Then he might have a chance.

God Bless Ann Coulter.  My affection for her is renewed every time I read her articles or hear her speak.  I am inspired by Ann's refusal to follow the inexplicable unwritten law that all criticism of liberals must be sugarcoated.  That is what drives the liberals nuts and it is what makes me in love with her.

Me too.  Another thing about Ann Coulter is that she is an awesome moonbat detector.  If someone is claiming they're a centrist just mention Ann and see how long they can last without spewing hatred about her!  :-)

As long as we sell mugs too because I love coffee!

I like watching Ann tear into Alan Colmes.

She is able to articulate so strongly exactly what I believe...:clap:

The crowd of liberals at my job compare me to her... :evillaugh:
They can't believe someone has the audacity to defend Bush...it's like I put a stake through their hearts.  My new word for them is liberal zombie's...walking around aimlessly, in a trance...parroting the BarackStar's!  "CHANGE" mantra....yet not having any inkling as to what that means, exactly.

The title is misleading....... America has NOT been Al Qaeda "free" since 9/11.  There have been stories of Al Qaeda and other Islamofascists conspiring to destroy America and our troops here in CONUS. Moreso, we have CAUGHT them in their conspiracies and stopped them before they could do any damage/ harm. No, sadly, we are not AQ free. They are lying in wait, hoping to NOT get caught and hopefully wreak their havoc at a later time.

I agree -- AQA is awaiting hussein to become President before making their move.  They already have a lot of their agenda being fulfilled by the left -- the latest being SCOUTUS allowing our enemies to attack in any configuration without fear of an real reprisal.  The democrats have made it clear they hate Bush more than terrorism and are doing everthing in their power to embolden and enable terrorists.

It is only the fear of a very, very tough Bush that has stayed AQA's hand.  That toughness in a president will be gone with hussein (McCain is very tough as well) -- they will attack at will.

I think the title is just fine.  It gets the message across.  It means Al Qaeda has been unsuccessful in their threatened goals. 

It's like a hand santitizer's claims to get your hands "germ free".  Your hands aren't really "germ free" - it really only reduces the germs and minimizes the risks.

I actually keep my mouth shut at work, which is annoying . Im a rural letter carrier, and out of the six or so postal unions, ours is politically neutral - I cant tell you how happy that makes me.. I suspect its because most of us serve rural America in the south and west, and If a vote was taken, the union would probably side conservative -- which would be a hoot - The AFL-CIO's black sheep :D Anyway the clerks union is very probama, and one of them is a raving 9/11 conspiracy Chimpeachment loving moonbat. I so want to lay into him, but I follow the rules, nod my head and say uh-huh when he starts talking about explosives and chickenwire.

I *think* I did manage to telegraph my position somewhat, in a conversation about digital theater and movie screeners by mentioning that the missus is a 'Veggietales Ambassador" and everytime there is a new release we get promotional materials and a screener. I could see it on his face.. His moonbat sense was tingling since he was in the presence of one not of his kind... :D

Personally, I needed more snark . . .I almost had to check if Ann was letting Laura Ingram phone this one in.

All - around, I still think girlfriend needs to eat a sandwich.
