Benchmarks for WHO?

How come no hate crime charges were filed against six white people who tortured a young black woman in
The Madeline McCann case reminds me of an incident in Australia years ago when a couple said a dingo came and carried off their baby while they were camping. The rash of killing babies by parents should be a warning bell to the American citizens. I would say this culture and its consequences is tearing America apart at its roots.
Those with no guts of their own and would have been among the long-hairs chanting “Hell no, I won’t go”, then fleeing to Canada during Vietnam are the ones condemning this war and our military. We have no draft and these cowards have no need to fear having to go to war. May they rest in peace, soon!
Now that the New York Times has given $116,000 to moveon.org, does this mean they broke any campaign laws, or did the McCain-Feingold Act give them license to do this? I have wondered since 9/11, 2001 what the world would be like now if it had been the United Nations building that was hit by the two planes. I have a feeling things would be far better now.
I would like to point out a few things… the Homeland Security Department have only achieved 8 of 14 of their benchmarks. This Democratic Congress has accomplished absolutely NOTHING. These people are quick to condemn Iraq for not meeting their benchmarks. If THEY can’t do THEIR jobs in a country at PEACE, how can they expect the Iraqis should meet these benchmarks in a war full of sectarian violence and under Saddam’s terrorist rule of 35 years and the MADNESS of his sons? I would imagine the people of Iraq will be looking over their shoulder for quite a long time!

I saw today where we can’t control the narcotics trade in Afghanistan. That sounds like a copout to me. Don’t we have planes capable of spraying weed killer as these crops are planted? If we can’t, I suggest we bring all soldiers home from South Korea, Germany, Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan and just close our borders and sit with our heads down saying “Woe is me.” As far as the Democrats condemning that scurrilous ad, it will never happen - remember moveon.org says “The Democratic party is ours - we bought it, we made it, and we own it.” You must also remember the only reason Jim Webb is now a Senator is that moveon.org slimed the Republican candidate running against him.
I honor Petraeus and the troops, and I wish them all success. I know they can win one for the Gipper. May God bless the USA!
