Liberals Proven Retards Again

To this day you can debate some liberal 'tard at your local Chucky Cheese regarding Iraq and the threat they posed to the U.S. "They meant us no harm!" they'll blather through their buck teeth, toddler woolly cap perched tightly on their swollen, sweaty heads. Well out comes this report that as far back as '73 they were messing with us. Couple this with the actual words of Saddam actually threatening us and the fact that there is ample evidence his regime was involved in the first WTC boming and... well, people with two working brain cells can deduce there was plenty of reason to take them as a threat.

From the NY Post:

Official Iraqi diplomatic communications - possibly at the nation's New York-based mission - were used to transmit a terrorist message that helped the feds foil a 1973 plot to bomb the Big Apple.
Iraq's role was detailed in declassified government documents made public as Black September terrorist Khalid Al-Jawary nears release from a Manhattan federal prison later this month.
Officials say Al-Jawary put two car bombs along Fifth Avenue and one near Kennedy Airport when then-Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir was coming to New York in 1973.
The Associated Press reviewed the case in advance of the terrorist's scheduled Feb. 19 release - after serving just half of his 30-year prison sentence.
According to the AP probe, just before Al-Jawary planted the bombs, the National Security Agency intercepted a message about where they had been placed.
The encrypted message was sent possibly from Iraq's New York mission to the Iraqi Foreign Ministry in Baghdad, said Jim Welsh, a NSA analyst. Then the message was relayed to the Palestine Liberation Organization headquarters, Welsh said.
Iraq reportedly backed Black September, the terrorists behind the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.


I thank you, George W. Bush, for not waiting until the inevitable happened.

WALL ST. MESS BUSH'S FAULT?

Laughable. At least from the Freddie and Fannie end of things.

Five years ago the Bush administration tried to put in place a new agency within the treasury dept to oversee them both. It died in congress. People like B. Hussein Obama and Chris Dodd were too busy getting lobbyist dollars and preferential treatment.

Now all I hear is how much Bush is at fault.

HA!

The plan is an acknowledgment by the administration that oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- which together have issued more than $1.5 trillion in outstanding debt -- is broken. A report by outside investigators in July concluded that Freddie Mac manipulated its accounting to mislead investors, and critics have said Fannie Mae does not adequately hedge against rising interest rates.
''There is a general recognition that the supervisory system for housing-related government-sponsored enterprises neither has the tools, nor the stature, to deal effectively with the current size, complexity and importance of these enterprises,'' Treasury Secretary John W. Snow told the House Financial Services Committee in an appearance with Housing Secretary Mel Martinez, who also backed the plan.

Suck it dems. Evil party.
