capacity to build a nuclear bomb by March, 2006. That’s less than four months away. Thus the pressure for Israel to mount an attack on Iranian facilities is getting intense. Yet they are dispersed and dug in deep fortified subterranean tunnels. Sabotage, rather than a missile attack, seems the only option – but the frightening reality is that Mossad, the Israeli CIA, can’t pull it off. Some sort of military assault, covert or overt, may be attempted anyway, but let’s also watch out for Sharon to deal a card from the bottom of the deck as well. This sure is a good time he thinks, for some Psy-Ops – directed at the Palestinians, and all Sunni Moslems worldwide. It is a very good time to point out to them that there is no way to make a nuclear bomb that just kills Jews. There is no way to “wipe Israel off the map” in a Nuclear Armageddon without wiping out the Palestinians as well. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/shouldnt-the-palestinians-be-terrified-of-iran/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1451" class="art-post art-article post-1451 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/benedict-to-the-rescue/" rel="bookmark" title="BENEDICT TO THE RESCUE">BENEDICT TO THE RESCUE</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="9:48 am">December 2, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "times new roman";"> In a week where California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed a hyper-leftwing pro-abortion lesbian “married” to her “partner” as his chief of staff, and South Africa’s Constitutional Court ordered Parliament to legalize homosexual “marriage,” the moral sanity exhibited by the Catholic Church was a welcome relief. On Wednesday, November 29, the Vatican issued an Instruction entitled, <a href="http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/document.php?n=98">Concerning the Criteria of Vocational Discernment Regarding Persons with Homosexual Tendencies in View of their Admission to Seminaries and Holy Orders</a>, which now has the authority of canon law. Pope Benedict is taking a moral stand, standing firmly against the shrieking gales of limp-wristed liberalism. He is determined not only to rid his church of pederastic perverts, but is determined that his church is the moral rock of St. Peter that it is supposed to be. </span></p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/benedict-to-the-rescue/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1449" class="art-post art-article post-1449 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/fifth-column-distortion/" rel="bookmark" title="FIFTH COLUMN DISTORTION">FIFTH COLUMN DISTORTION</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="8:31 am">December 2, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Jack Kelly">Jack Kelly</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> In his speech at the Naval Academy Wednesday outlining U.S. strategy in Iraq, President Bush paid tribute to Marine Corporal Jeffrey Starr, killed in a fire fight in Ar Ramadi April 30th. He was 22, on his third tour in Iraq. A letter to his girlfriend was found on Starr's laptop computer: "If you're reading this, then I've died in Iraq," Cpl. Starr wrote. "I don't regret going. Everybody dies but a few get to do it for something as important as freedom. It may seem confusing why we're in Iraq; it's not to me. I'm here helping these people so they can live the way we live, not to have to worry about tyrants or vicious dictators. Others have died for my freedom; now this is my mark." In a mammoth article in October taking note of the 2,000th U.S. death in Iraq, the New York Times mentioned Cpl. Starr and his letter, <em>but didn't quote the passages above</em>.  All the Times quoted from his letter was: "'I kind of predicted this,' Corporal Starr wrote of his own death. 'A third time just seemed like I'm pushing my chances.'" The Times' omissions and distortions -- which are more the rule than the exception in news coverage of Iraq -- explain why so many Americans think we're losing a war we're plainly winning. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/fifth-column-distortion/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1448" class="art-post art-article post-1448 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-members-only-articles" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/casablanca-on-the-potomac/" rel="bookmark" title="CASABLANCA ON THE POTOMAC">CASABLANCA ON THE POTOMAC</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="7:54 am">December 2, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> Here’s a difficult question: Would you spend $80 to make $1000? OK – would you spend $80 million to make $1 billion? If you did so, would you then claim you were ripped off? You would if you were Jack Abramoff’s Indian tribe clients. Everyone in America has now heard of the “infamous super-lobbyist” Jack Abramoff. You’ve heard all about him, but let me assure you that you know very, very little about him – because the Democrat media wants it that way. So let me tell you an illustrative story about him. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/casablanca-on-the-potomac/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1445" class="art-post art-article post-1445 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-members-only-articles" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/crooks-in-congress-and-cia-rogue-weasels/" rel="bookmark" title="CROOKS IN CONGRESS AND CIA ROGUE WEASELS">CROOKS IN CONGRESS AND CIA ROGUE WEASELS</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="6:55 am">December 2, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> One liberating silver lining to Republican Congressman Randy “Duke” Cunningham’s pleading guilty to bribery charges is that being a Vietnam war hero is no longer a lifetime exemption from moral criticism. When Jean Schmidt (R-OH) last Friday (Nov. 25) denounced John Murtha’s (D-PA) call for retreat from Iraq on the floor of Congress by reading a letter from a Marine asking her to “ ‘send Congressman Murtha a message: That cowards cut and run, Marines never do’,” she caused a riot that came close to being a fistfight between elephant and jackass Congresscritters. Murtha, you see, is somehow invulnerable to criticism because he served 37 years in the Marines and won a number of medals in Vietnam. Howard Dean wasted no time in announcing that a billboard would be erected by Democrats in Portsmouth, Ohio (her disctrict headquarters), declaring: “Shame on You, Jean Schmidt: Stop Attacking Veterans.” John Murtha is a legitimate war hero – unlike John Kerry. He won two real Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star in combat in Vietnam. He deserves our admiration and respect for his military service. Yet his being a war hero did not prevent him from becoming a moral coward – and a crook in Congress. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/crooks-in-congress-and-cia-rogue-weasels/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1443" class="art-post art-article post-1443 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-sage/" rel="bookmark" title="THE SAGE">THE SAGE</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="5:17 pm">December 1, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/dennist/" title="View all posts by Dennis Turner">Dennis Turner</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> <a href="http://www.sequencepublishing.com/thesage.html">The Sage</a> is a comprehensive dictionary/encyclopedia with a completely integrated dictionary and thesaurus that defines words, terms, concepts, historical events and even has an anagram decrypter - with nearly everything cross-referenced, allowing you to jump from word to concept with just one click. What's in a word? Well, according to The Sage, a word is far more than the definition listed in the dictionary; it's a lemma, which means that it really is a "topic" or a chapter heading; for example, a word can be defined as a part of speech (noun, verb), a hypernym (part of a larger category), synonym, holonym, antonym (look them up), or other type. Israel, for example, is a country (hypernym), a part of the Middle East (holonym), the home of Israelis (meronym) and it can be defined in dozens of other ways. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/the-sage/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1437" class="art-post art-article post-1437 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/chapter-sixteen-xicotencatl-young-and-old/" rel="bookmark" title="Chapter Sixteen: XICOTENCATL – YOUNG AND OLD">Chapter Sixteen: XICOTENCATL – YOUNG AND OLD</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="4:30 pm">December 1, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> <h1>Chapter Sixteen: Xicotencatl – Young and Old</h1> Malinali was stunned that Cortez was speaking this way to the Tlaxcalan elders. She knew how close the Spaniards were to giving up, how they feared another attack. But… but… the Tlaxcalans did not know this. They must have believed what she told the prisoners she had set free! Yet how did Cortez learn of this? She had not told him what she had done. It must be that Cortez was a <em>genio</em> with people as Bernal said. For Cortez’s words had the desired effect on the Tlaxcalan chiefs. They bowed deeply, swore that Young Xicotencatl would come, said that all Tlaxcala will rejoice when the Malinche and his men will be at their capital, and left looking relieved and satisfied. Even more relieved and satisfied were the Spaniards. With turkeys, maize cakes, cherries and other food in abundance, plus the promise of no more attacks, the camp was full of laughter – and no grumbling, not even from de Grado. Cortez was pleased, and made sure everyone saw he was – but he also made sure the patrols and scouts continued, day and night, to search for danger. He had no trust in this Young Xicotencatl. </p><span class="ecae-button ecae-buttonskin-white" style="text-align:left" > <a class="ecae-link" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/chapter-sixteen-xicotencatl-young-and-old/"><span>Read more...</span></a></span></div></div> </article> <article id="post-1435" class="art-post art-article post-1435 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized" style=""> <h2 class="art-postheader entry-title"><a href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/cooling-on-condi/" rel="bookmark" title="COOLING ON CONDI">COOLING ON CONDI</a></h2> <div class="art-postheadericons art-metadata-icons"><span class="art-postdateicon"><span class="date">Published</span> <span class="entry-date updated" title="11:10 am">November 25, 2005</span></span> | <span class="art-postauthoricon"><span class="author">By</span> <span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="https://www.2thepointnews.com/author/jack/" title="View all posts by Dr. Jack Wheeler">Dr. Jack Wheeler</a></span></span></div> <div class="art-postcontent clearfix"><div class="ecae" style=""><p> For some time now, I’ve been telling you that Condi Rice may replace Dick Cheney (who would step down for “health reasons”) as Bush’s Vice-President, putting her in the catbird seat for the GOP presidential nomination in ’08. I expect this to take place by summer 2006. As I discussed last month in <a href="http://www.2thepointnews.com/content/view/1987/2/">44</a>, her candidacy would be do more damage to the Democrat Party than Katrina did to the Gulf Coast. She is the only candidate the GOP can put up who could defeat Hillary. (Try this on as a barf alert: John McCain as Hillary’s running mate. Denied the GOP nomination, he’ll bolt his party and team with Hil who’s got the Dem nomination sewed up. Yep, that’s the latest hot DC buzz.)

That is our real mission, the essence of the war in which we are engaged, and the proper subject of our national debate.” The proper debate has still not been engaged, and the Bush Administration’s failure to lead it bespeaks a grave failure of strategic vision.

Of course, it depends on how you define ‘betterment.’ For many people that means having the computer spit out a can of Coke because they’re too lazy to get up and fetch one from the fridge themselves. If you’re in the neighborhood of MIT, you <em>can</em> use your computer to <a href="http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/htbin/coke">conjure one up</a>. However, if you want your kids to get fresh air, you might consider the Internet to be the second most useless invention in human history, a close runner up to the TV.
