Terrorists Go On Break, Let CBS and NYT Stand In

It may be too early for post-election event predicting, but that won't stop me from doing it. This prediction is that, if Bush wins, the anti-Bush forces (media, UN, Europe) will be revealed to have over played their hands. The media is now making no bones about their preference for president. I'm not talking about the editorial pages, I'm talking about the news pages. The NYT ran their story about the missing explosives with full knowledge that they were misleading the readers. Exculpatory facts were buried in the story or simply (oops) left out. Add to this the revelation that CBS was going to run the story on election eve as an "October Surprise." Remember CBS? Rathergate? Forged documents? Yep, the same gang almost did it again. While the truth has yet to be sorted out, it is now possible tha the story is at least, in part, not true, and old, and previously reported.

But, who tipped the story? A member of the UN's IAEA. Meanwhile, the meddling of the US election is not just limited to the UN. The Guardian, a leftist English rag, attempted to involve its readers in our election by having them write letters to voters in Ohio.

It will be interesting to see how a second Bush administration will react to these forces. And all along we've been worried that the terrorist would attempt to influence the election. As it turns out, the UN, the NY Times, CBS and Europe are giving the terrorists a break. Why expel energy on this election when so many others are intruding for you?

If Kerry wins, these groups will only be emboldened. But remember, payback is hell. The UN needs congress and the congress looks like it will be Republican. Also 48-50% of the American public will come to realize what these guys were up to. All about the same time that attention turns to the oil for food scandals.

Yeah, payback will be hell.
