The Case For Condi


 5 Reasons Condi would make a GREAT President

1.  Experience - Former National Security Adviser and Secretary of State...a little bit more than a community organizer I might say.
2.  Intelligence - She obviously has it, but if she would release her college transcripts we could compare them to Obama (if he would release his college transcripts)
3.  Humility - Watch the video below when she is asked if she would like to run for president...its a far cry from Obama's statement of "We are the ones we've been waiting for"  watch that clip here...video
4.  The TR factor - TR as in Teddy Roosevelt.  I believe her foreign policy would be very reminiscent of TR's "speak softly, but carry a big stick".  Her vast foreign affairs experience makes her perfect for dealing with the new dynamics of Pakistan and other issues in the region. 
5.  Freshness - She has not been mixing it up or been a major pundit on FoxNews getting her hands dirty in the daily political fray like Sarah Palin.  The newness of her makes her appealing to moderates.  Unless she gets her own reality show on TLC, then you can count her out. 

Remember, that no one really knew much about Barack Obama back in 2007 or even that he was a major contender for the White House.  The Republican field is wide open and I believe the time is right for a President Condoleezza Rice.

Nothing Liberal About It

Abbotabad, Pakistan - From what we have all learned from the capture and death of Bin Laden, you should ask yourself one fundamental question:  What were the key components that made all of this possible?  Here are the three main reasons:
     1.  The operation began from a US military base in Afghanistan.  That's right, the same place where liberals have, for years now, said we should not be.  If there was not a U.S. presence in Afghanistan, there would have been ZERO chance of getting boots on the ground to get the positive ID of Bin Laden.  Hence, the operation to get UBL would never have taken place.
     2.  The critical intelligence needed to zero in on Bin Laden was thanks to information gathered from, prepare yourself liberals, harsh interrogation techniques...otherwise more popularly known in liberals circles as "torture".  The critical information was learned after water-boarding was used on a 9/11 mastermind known as KSM.  If liberals were in charge in 2007, when KSM was in custody, the information would not have been given up.  Hence, the operation to get UBL would never have taken place.  Maybe this is why President Obama has been slow to close Gitmo.  Perhaps he learned how much of an asset it is once he was passed the presidential reigns.  An email to Bill O'reilly on May 2 summed it perfectly,  to paraphrase:  "So it is NOT ok to water-board a captured terrorist, but it ok to shoot them in the face?" 
     3.  The willingness to act unilaterally.  That's right, the very thing liberals despise.  Liberals have absolutely vilified the previous administration when they were willing to act along and without the blessing of the international community and the UN.  The only reason this operation to get UBL was a success was because we acted alone and not with the so called precious international community.      

The decisions of President Obama, the work of our intelligence community and the heroic actions of our brave soldiers are to be praised to the highest level for this operation.  We only wish that President Obama would conduct all of his decisions in this fashion, instead of following his typical liberal path.  The above three examples were absolutely critical to the success of killing UBL, too bad liberals have spent most of their time condemning such ideas in the first place.
