05/24/2004: "Where's the Plan?"

For months we have listened to every opponent of the President repeat the mantra of "There's no plan" which was dutifully reported in the mainstream media. So the President books prime time to lay out the plan that he has stated in bits and pieces for months and where is the mainstream media? Running two hours of "Fear Factor." If you don't have cable, you didn't hear what he had to say. I think this is racist behavior on the part of the MSM. If they can play the race card, so can I.

By not showing the President's speech tonight on regular TV, the MSM had disenfranchised those who are economically repressed. Those who cannot hear the speech live must depend on reading it in a publication that the writer has carefully sculpted their opinion into the article as if to tell those who cannot afford cable that they are also too stupid to draw their own conclusions. Since minorities make up the largest group of the socioeconomically repressed population, this must be racist behavior. Also by running two hours of idiot TV, the MSM must be telling these disenfranchised people that they aren't interested in what's going on in the world and they would more appreciate Fear Factor. Your condescending attitude must also be evidence of your racism. Now I'll leave Liberal La La Land and return to sanity.

I wish the White House would hire Peggy Noonan to write the President’s speeches. Peggy has a way of putting words to paper that exemplify a Commander in Chief and at the same time exemplify a loving, caring man. For those of us who have followed in depth the developments in Iraq, tonight was preaching to the choir. For those who have not, it probably seemed dull. There were so many examples that would have provided some color to this illustration. His goal should be to illustrate and illuminate his concepts in a way that anyone can relate to them.

My husband uses a mechanic as an analogy for Iraq. Your car breaks down and you take it to a mechanic. The next day you check on the progress and you find the entire engine pulled out of the car and it is in pieces. You go hysterical that this is worse than it was yesterday, at least yesterday there was an engine in the car. It didn’t work but at least it had an engine. Now it doesn’t even have an engine! This is terrible.

Not many things get fixed without disassembling them completely first. That’s true of countries that have just been liberated also. It may look terrible at times but it is just part of the fixing process. With patience and persistence, it gets put back together again and this time it works. That’s what’s going on right now in Iraq. Find some more patience and persistence; we haven’t started the reassembly yet. That comes on June 30th. And it’s all part of the plan and always has been.

Even after carefully explaining the plan, the press and oh yes the Dems are saying thats no plan - who will be president? Who will be Prime Minister? - they ask. Silly me, I thought that was what free elections, and Democracy were all about. Had I known you could just pick someone, I'd have picked me then I wouldn't have to listen to these idiots - They would all be in Iraq with their heads in the sand and their hands covering their ass.
