Just Bloggin'

How about some generalized bloggin' thoughts for a Friday.

Will probably miss the debate tonight to see the Bulldogs hopefully chalk up another win. Too bad Tim's down with an ankle sprain this week, but hopefully he'll be back for Pike next week.

Got the website posted finally. It's still in need of some work, but you might find it interesting. It's at http://www.bcsc.k12.in.us/northhs/athletics/football/

Here's what I'd like Bush to tell everyone tonight:
"During this election year, you have been hearing my opponent repeat as a mantra that my administration lied and misled the American people to rush into war in Iraq. What is most disappointing to me about his rhetoric is that I am certain he knows that those statements are completely and totally wrong."

"Given his poor attendance record in the Senate, and especially the Intelligence committee, I can't be sure he was there at the time, but Senator Kerry received every shred of intelligence available and reached the same conclusion I did at the time: Iraq possessed WMD's, supported terrorists, and presented a real and building threat to our security. Now he wants to pretend that he knew better how to deal with Iraq, even though he publicly stated his support for the war and voted for it."

"Now he's trying to tell you that he will take care of Iraq by getting the French and Germans involved, as if our coalition is invalid without their participation. What he's hoping you won't find out is that the report he's so fond of citing that declared there were no WMD's in Iraq at the time we began the war, but it also indicated that Saddam was actively bribing high-level officials in both countries to try to insure any action against him would be vetoed in the UN. In addition, the evidence clearly shows that he had definitive plans to rebuild his WMD capabilities, including Nuclear weapons, as soon as he was successful at getting the UN out of the way."

"The fact is that we're winning the war on terror. Yes, it's a tough road in Iraq, but we have succeeded in not only decimating the ranks of al Qaida, but also attracting them to fighting our troops there so they are unable to bring their terrorism to our own shores. Not only will we succeed in helping Iraq transform into a peaceful democracy, but the war on terror will be won as long as we stay the course and do not waver. Clearly, a Kerry presidency will place polling and political expedience above our country's security; something we cannot afford at this critical time."

OK, I'll never be a presidential speechwriter, but this is the general message that should be conveyed, along with lots of other messages about protecting the constitution, rebuilding the economy, dealing with the healthcare crisis, etc.
