Peter Wehner and the other dead-brains of the Weakly Slander obviously have nothing to offer other than their attempts to blame everyone but themselves for their own treasonous and catastrophic failures.
Many WWII Nazis were tried, sentenced and hanged for persuing a path that is remarkable similar to that which has championed by the angry eunuchs of the Weakly Slander, the NRO, and other fascistic rags.
The world looks forward to the day of reconning for these disgusting fascists.

On the Chevron "Human Energy" campaign, are they talking about the Human Energy requred to torture, rape, and murder innocent people in their drive to maximize profits?
"Chevron is one of the largest foreign investors in Burma and is the only remaining major U.S. corporation with a significant presence there. In 2005, Chevron bought the company Unocal weeks after the latter settled a lawsuit accusing it of assisting the Burmese military junta in the torture, murder and rape of villagers during construction of a pipeline."

- We%u2026 speaking if the US, don%u2019t make the best example anymore. Freedom is something that even Americans have been struggling to hold on to. While the government goes about proclaiming the virtues of democracy to the world, it is constantly finding reasons to take it away at home.
Recent headlines tell us that we must %u2018expect%u2019 to surrender our privacy to both the government and the corporate, trusting them to behave as they should.
Trust? America was born because we found that governments were notoriously untrustworthy and that a little revolution now and again was entirely healthy!
Newt Gingrich went on record some months ago saying that Americans should be ready to surrender some freedom for a little temporary%u2026 if not entirely questionable safety/security.
American companies like Yahoo and Google are selling out their users in China to that communist regime%u2019s attempt at controlling the flow of information on the internet.
Freedom? How can we sell this to the world when we can%u2019t say for sure that we will ourselves have it much longer? How long will it be before a statement just like this will lead to having your internet disconnected or even to arrest?
If we want to once again be a light unto the world, we%u2019ll need to dust off our national character and get that old fashion lamp of freedom out of the closet first!

- Oh, this is a hoot! Subhead: "Al Qaeda And Bad Policies Are To Blame For Iraq Troubles, Not New Government"
You idiots! Just who do you think is responsible for those "bad policies" if not the government?
Oh, wait! I know! It''s John Kerry''s fault! - Reply to this comment
- "The United States helped midwife freedom in a land of tears. It was a noble undertaking, among the most noble in our history, and it is worth seeing through to completion."
You''ve got to WONDER... did the Iraqi people really ASK us to give them "freedom"? And, you''ve got to ask, how "free" are all those dead Iraqis? How "free" are all those people without electricity, water, food, peace, stability, ..., anything worth calling "civilization"? How "free" were their elections, where all the candidates were UNKNOWN beforehand and they just had to vote for whoever "looked least like a crazed madman" on the ballot picture? Is THAT democracy? Is THAT freedom? Was the invasion of Iraq, the torture and murder of millions, the destruction of their infrastructure and their society, the unleashing of civil war between religious factions, the theft of their oil,... was all that truly a "noble undertaking"? I''d have to say, NOT! - Reply to this comment
- Seems all the authors of these ''pro war/slam democracy down their throats'', articles writing mostly for weekly standard or NRO want to continue this losing war effort, but I can''t recall them ever reporting the casualty count for the Israeli contingent of the ''coalition of the willing''.
Why is that?
And in light of how the Palestinian people have been ravaged, how dare any Israeli speak of another leaders ''demonic rule''. - Reply to this comment
- Weakly Standard:
"Because we believe in ''might makes right'', we must FORCE Iraq to become a democracy! Fortunately, all this requires is
The removal of Saddam Hussein! No, wait...
The removal of his inner circle! No, wait...
The dismissal of his armed forces! No, wait...
The dismissal of all civil servants! No, wait...
The dismissal of ANYONE associated with the old regime! No, wait...
The dismissal of anyone calling himself a Baathist! No, wait...
The dismissal of anyone calling himself a Sunni! No, wait...
The dismissal of anyone calling himself an Iraqi! There, that should do it!
Gosh, I wonder why the Iraqi''s lack the gumption to become a self-sustaining democratic society? Only one out of every 20 Iraqi''s has died since our invasion, come-on guys!! Why the down faces? Form a democracy, already!! Hmmm, you know what, it must be because Iraqi society was ALREADY toasted by Saddam Hussein BEFORE our invasion. No wait, its because of interference by Iran!! Thats it!! Lets write the president another blank check and invade Iran. THEN, and ONLY THEN, will Iraqi Democracy FLOURISH!!!" - Reply to this comment
- Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.

- The problem with ''might makes right'' is it never knows when to quit. So you start out arm-wrestling Saddam Hussein to the ground, then its his family that''s the problem, then the Baathists, then ANYONE who ever took a paycheck from the Baathists (like teachers and lawyers), then the Iraqi people themselves. And, in the end, your beating it into EVERYONE''S head that they have to learn to think for themselves and VOTE what they think, in blissful ignorance that the first thing they would vote on is to toss you off the reservation. Weakly Standard will never understand this, they are used to telling other people what to think and calling it democracy.

- The Great Emperor Bush II disagrees with the article in the Weekly Standard stating that his "Freedom Agenda" policy has failed. He claims that the policies he has put in place in Afghanistan and Iraq are suceeding, and that any failures are due to the failure of others and/or the schemes of the evil, cowardly Democrats.
Of course, there has always been some doubt about what the "Freedom Agenda" really was. Was it meant to put democracy (that is, the Emperor''s brand of "democracy") into place or was it meant as a pretext for a USSA "empire" with profit and greed the real agenda!
Whatever the real agenda was/is, it is no secret that people in both countries are secretly wishing that the "old ways" were back and, especially in Iraq, which, to the typical Iragi, has turned into a worse nightmare under the Emperor than it was under Saddam Hussein.
Besides, wasn''t the real purpose of all this to be a war on "terrrrror" and a manhunt to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice? The last we heard, he is stil out there and laughing at the Emperor who now thinks he is not worth thinking about!
Sweet solace to the 3,000+ families of the victims of 9/11 looking for some sort of closure!
SIG HEIL, BUSH!!! - Reply to this comment
