Terrorism Under Control - O

I read an article today about using contraception to control the population of Koala on Kangaroo Island. The 30,000 island marsupials are eating Eucalyptus plants at about one pound per, each day. Problem? Supply and demand. Solution? Field workers will begin shooting small contraception chips into the thighs of the female Koala. Each chip will prevent conception for approx 2 years.

Perhaps the idea can be applied to the war on terror. Stop the births, the end is clear. If suddenly, the Islamic community realized a sharp reduction in “disposable” future generations, life might matter. If not, perhaps the end of the war on terrorism would become clear to the free world. Without warriors there can be no war.

Suggestion? Load up your automatic weapons, fill them with time released birth control and take aim at all Berkas. “One small pop for peace, one giant population controlled for mankind.”

Path to 9/11 - Commentary - O

The first night of the ABC network mini series “Path to 9/11” presented a fairly good concept of the events preceding the bin Laden inspired assault on the US in 2001 with its origin in the initial bombing of the WTC in 1993. While nearly double the number of people watching the mini were tuned into the football game, the fact that the mini struck a cord of fear within the ranks of the former Clinton admin seniors should be telling enough. It became quite clear that Bill and Hillary Clinton were frantic as evidenced by the liberal letter and media campaigned commenced against ABC and Disney. Less important than the specific motivation behind their panic, is the significant level of fear based reaction to a television movie.

It would be interesting to survey Americans asking them who Ramzi Yousef was. It would be interesting to ask Americans the date of the BlackHawk downing in Somalia or when bin Laden initially opened his training camps in Kashmir, Tajikistan or Chechnya. Or how about the name of the Iraqi intelligence officer bin Laden met in February 95.

No doubt, very few Americans would have the answers nor would they care. What they care about is their day to day simple life which is why Paris Hilton’s reality TV show was better received than the ABC 9/11 docudrama. The average Joe wants to know, does he have a job, place to live, basics and can he afford to take a couple of vacations, or buy a jet ski. National security is secondary to the list of primary needs. The names, histories or global connections between bin Laden, Atta, Yousef and Iraq or Afghanistan are not even a daily tertiary concern.

The hype, fear and pre-airing media coverage was actually all that the average Joe probably needed to understand. The fact that Bill Clinton did not want America to see something about bin Laden translates very directly to average Joe’s brain. “Clinton was a liar then and he is a liar now.” The media hammers the fact that Bush lied about Iraq; therefore, who can average Joe trust? He just wants to know when he can expect that $2.00 per gallon gas.

Nice job ABC, I will be one of the first to purchase the DVD and accompanying teachers guide (the one pulled by Scholastic from the educational version of the mini) also under pressure from Clinton.

More on this subject after the second part of the mini ….. stand by

Path to 9/11 - O

At a recent dinner with a couple of Hollywood moguls at a private cigar club in Beverly Hills, it did not take long to confirm that I was the only conservative voice at the table. Notwithstanding my minority position, the conversation about the scheduled, September 10th & 11th, Path to 9/11 ABC mini series controversy was quite surprising. “It’s the biggest blunder the Democrats have made since Jimmy Carter”, one said, and then continued, “Thousands of copies of the original version are already out there, in the hands of media and others. Every scene edited from the piece will be on the Internet and every Blog site within days. By trying to kill the thing, the Clintonites are actually shining a big spotlight on it. People are going to assume that by trying to hide the information, by editing it, the deleted scenes MUST be true.”

Again the knee jerk reactions of the liberal left have opened the door for more speculation about their motives and control of the media and broadcast networks. The controversy has placed ABC in the fantastic position of being able to air the mini followed on by offering the unedited version, DVD, for sale immediately. Perfect!

It would not be surprising to witness a Clinton inspired campaign to “Vince Foster” everyone connected with the mini, followed by an all out effort to buy the world wide rights to the pic – just in time for a countdown to a November elections funeral pyre at which they would burn every shred of footage.

Welcome to North (Korea) America …. Free speech is a dying commodity. Did someone call 911?
