Why are we in Iraq? What the Iraq war done for the United States? What has it done for the Iraqi people? What has it done for the stability in the Middle East? Please, I’d really like to know. Let forget about all this other “petty” debate and get down to the real stuff.

Oh, now I know, its everyone’s favorite new buzzword “islamofascisms®”“>http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/08/30/gop.fascism.ap/index.html)

Let’s not forget that the majority of Americans see no link between the war on terror and the war in Iraq.

The column of the month:

Why did Fatah bother to make the video (Fox journalists “converting” to Islam?)Didn’t they realize conversion under duress means nothing? That no one, East or West, would take it at face value? They didn’t make it for face value. They made it to show the whole Muslim world, via satellite television, what wimps these Westerners are. That they’ll do anything at all to save their lives, that they don’t think twice about it. That is the substance of most Islamo-fascist propaganda: that the West consists of straw men, of men without chests, of men easily pushed over.-RealClearPolitics

Which is their mistake. Sure we have a lot of spineless terrorist appeasing metrosexuals, you can find a bunch of them right here on this blog, but the majority of Americans, the real men and women, are getting tired of Islamic Facism. You’ll find out what I mean soon enough.

Same article:

Jean-François Revel: “Democratic civilization is the first in history to blame itself because another power is trying to destroy it.”

The same “news” paper that will take a sexual affair between two Church members and write a half page article about the Church and Christianity, has the audacity to object to the “war on Islamic fascism” label:

But Muslim groups have cried foul. Bush’s use of the phrase “contributes to a rising level of hostility to Islam and the American-Muslim community,” complained Parvez Ahmed, chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.-AJC

The side that the libs are on:

Al-Najdi, a religious man, instructs his readers in some possible ways to kill a Westerner, from choosing the victim right up to the stage of the actual killing. Before committing the murder, says Al-Najdi, “pray to Allah to guide you on the good path.” Having prayed to Allah, he then explains “the jihadist way of action and the security measures to be employed by the jihad fighter when he wants to kill a Westerner.”-WashingtonTimes

And from the NYSun:

The Shah is also attacked for his leniency in the enforcement of the Koran’s moral code. “We want,” according to Khomeini’s 1978 volume, “a ruler who would cut off the hand of his own son if he steals, and would flog and stone his near relative if he fornicates.”

Cut

Rumsfeld caused great consternation in the land of the pinko:

These are very touchy pols. Leader Harry Reid went on to elaborate that the administration that Rumsfeld serves “is more interested in lashing out at its political enemies…than it is in winning the war on terror and in bringing an end to the war in Iraq.” But Rumsfeld never in his entire speech mentioned “political enemies.”-AmericanSpectator

Lashing out at political enemies is what Reid’s whole speech was. See what I mean about frisking the liberals first.

Cut

This is why they hate us:

The myth of the democracy-hating Muslim is contradicted in poll after poll and more evidentially by the millions of Afghans, Palestinians, and Iraqis who voted in their countries’ recent democratic elections, despite very real threats of violence from terrorist/religious leaders like the late Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi. You may recall that it was his holiness the Rev. Zarqawi who warned that support for democracy was “the very essence of heresy.”-AmericanSpectator

Consider the man likely to run the Judiciary Committee, Michigan’s John Conyers, from the Congressional class of 1964. He recently made his plans clear in a 370-page report, “The Constitution in Crisis: The Downing Street Minutes and Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution and Coverup in the Iraq War, and Illegal Domestic Surveillance.” The report accuses the Administration of violating no fewer than 26 laws and regulations, and is a road map of Mr. Conyers’s explicit intention to investigate grounds for impeaching President Bush.-OpinionJournal

WASHINGTON - Four years into an economic recovery, the number of people living in poverty has finally stopped climbing.

It was the first year without an increase in poverty since 2000, just before President Bush took office.

Some Republicans blamed the stubborn poverty numbers on immigrants holding down wages. Democrats blamed the Bush administration, noting that incomes are lower and the poverty rate is higher than when Bush took office.

If Democrats have a culture of low expectations, it appears that the Republicans have a culture of NO expectations. Republicans continue to prove themselves incapable of governing our society in any respect ! ! !

Andy,

I have to disagree with the real clear politics column as being unfairly harsh. I don’t see the point of dying for these “people” - it serves no purpose.
Most of the journalists have now pulled out of Gaza, and Steve Centanni does not intend to return, although Olaf Wigg plans to. I frankly wish they would all pull out - they are nothing but propaganda tools for terrorist groups anyway, and that is their most effective weapon.

I do wish Centanni and Wigg would publicly rencounce their “conversion” now that they are free men, albeit in danger of being in the company of Salman Rushdie for the rest of their lives.

I do agree with this part:

{{“Jean-François Revel: “Democratic civilization is the first in history to blame itself because another power is trying to destroy it.”}}

And this is interesting -

{{“At the time Revel said this, the enemy power was Soviet Communism. The intellectuals, the smart journalists, the fashionable academics, the smug urbane of all descriptions, were hardly pro-Communist. They were more ironical than that, they were “anti-anti-Communist”. Today they are anti-anti-Islamo-fascist.”}}

Staying the course of encouraging the behavior there is NOT working. Doing the same thing over and over expecting different results is Einstein’s theory of insanity; just what we are doing in Iraq.

IN HIS MOST recent justification of his Pentagon stewardship, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld reached back to the 1930s, comparing the Bush administration’s critics to those who, like US Ambassador to Britain Joseph P. Kennedy, favored appeasing Adolf Hitler. Rumsfeld avoided a more recent comparison: the appeasement of Saddam Hussein by the Reagan and first Bush administrations. The reasons for selectivity are obvious, since so many of Hussein’s appeasers in the 1980s were principals in the 2003 Iraq war, including Rumsfeld.

Meanwhile the architects of the earlier appeasement policy now maintain the illusion that they have a path to victory, if only their critics would shut up.

rushncap,

If you are awake -

I will be gone for most of the day. I’m sorry that I had to run yesterday and couldn’t satisfy your tyrannical demands that I stick around to argue on YOUR schedule.

Here is something from the “NAMBLA Bulletin” (something that you claim is “pure fantasy”) - a letter that purports to be from a 12 year old boy who calls himself “Unicorn” and loves Che’Guevara just like a good little Communist. Maybe the ACLU asked him to stick that part in to help with their fund raising efforts?

I support NAMBLA because they have given me a chance to philosophize publicly by printing my column. NAMBLA gave me support after the arrest of my man-friend. They have made me comfortable in a gay atmosphere. They take criticism well and always rectify mistakes. NAMBLA does not lay low on the subject of youth emancipation. NAMBLA supports youth liberation and emancipation. NAMBLA is against the draft, circumcision and clitoridectomy, ageism and other positions pertaining to youth. Blah blah blah…

The ACLU does not have to defend this group, yet they CHOOSE to. In doing so they enable the exploitation and indoctrination of children (clearly this letter was not written by a 12 year old without considerable “help”), not to mention the UNSPEAKABLE acts that the ACLU defends their “right” to SPEAK about.

What else does the ACLU defend? In addition to being C.A.I.R.’s best friend, they file briefs for deranged Kansans who, beyond all conventions of civilized society, are protesting at soldiers’ funerals and interfering with the RIGHTS of bereaved citizens to grieve with dignity and grace.

Ironically, people like you and Goldilocks then get to turn around and claim that this mentally-ill cult represents the mainstream of conservative ideology.

Danish: You’re right, there is no videotape of the US army cutting and running from Somolia.

There is, however, a videotape, another in a long line of many, of Americans denouncing their Religion, denouncing their culture, bowing before Islam and that videotape is getting circulated among a bunch of impressionable young religious fanatics.

They live for things like that.

If the journalists would have nutted up and said, and don’t get me wrong I know full well that we are talking about elite liberals here, Fox News or not, that Jesus Christ Died for me on the Cross and so I shall die for Him, the terrorists would have stopped the filming and scampered away back to their ratholes.

Or they would have sawed their heads off.

But, either way, word would have gotten out that the Americans may not really be the weak, spineless, sex obsessed perverts that they think we are.

Not Andy, Do you have a solution? Heck, this administration doesn’t even have one. They led us into this nightmare with no “exit strategy”, no plan on resolving the potential civil war they were warned on (but failed to tell the American people about) and absolutely no idea, knowledge, education, research: they did not know their enemy.

What we’re doing now has been a failure; attacking Iraq who was a lesser threat than the terrorists, Iran and others with nukes. Perfect stupidity with no plan. What kind of leadership is that???? I tell you it is none; the man is incompetent. He has brought horror to our lives and does nothing to resolve it.

If I had a true solution; I would be in politics; running for office; running for President. It won’t take one person to do it; but rather an administration that is more competent than the one in office. This administration is destable and a shame to this great country.

And since we are into quoting today, here is one from Thomas Paine. (I wonder if any neo-cons ever heard of him.)

“He who is the author of a war lets loose the whole contagion of hell and opens a vein that bleeds a nation to death”

Bush authored the Iraqi war; it was all make believe in his mind and he certainly loosed a contagion of hell and is bleeding this country.

We should have stuck with the war on terrorism rather than creating a mess in Iraq.

I know that about Osama. That he may not even have ties to 9/11. He’s till the reason why we are in the mess we’re in. I guess it’s like an “oops, we’re sorry about that” for the administration. Well even better, lets not even run it by the people. They keep changing their reasoning behind the war anyway. So what’s the use in trying to explain anything anymore? It’s all so confusing at this point. Who did what, why we went there, when it will end, who lied about what, were they got the intelligence from, etc. It’s all one big snow-ball cluster fcuk. How many more “oops, we’re sorry” are we going to let them get away with? I think it’s such a sad time we live in when people in our own country can’t get help, we are repeatedly lied to by our government, the poor are getting poor, the rich are getting richer, and the middle class is dwindling. What is all of this going to add up to? Where are we headed? I think if we keep a government like this in power, things are going to get even worse. Some times I watch the news or read things on this blog that really upset me and question why I even live here. I mean, has it always been this way? Was I so naive in my younger years to think that things were good in America and that our Government was there for us and listen to us? Whatever though, it’s too late too look back now. We could say, oh I would have done this or that, but what does it amount to? Nothing. I think the real question now is, how are we going to salvage this mess? I think were this administration went wrong was that they “assumed”. They assumed it was Bin Laden, they assumed that Saddam had WMD’s, they assumed this and that. What do they say about assuming? That it’s the mother of all fcuk-ups. Yet, they still haven’t learned.

Democratic Party leaders have come up with several plans for ending the Iraq incursion.

For example, here’s one from Senator Joe Biden.

As the Delaware lawmaker notes, at least his plan shows initiative and seeks achievable goals. And that’s what separates his plan from the (non)-plan the Bushies are offering.

Unfortunately, this administration does not have a coherent plan or any discernible strategy for success in Iraq. Its strategy is to prevent defeat and hand the problem off when it leaves office.

Of course, I don’t expect neocons to consider any part of this plan. In their eyes, it’s DOA because it differs from Fearless Leader’s. But they can’t argue that Democrats DON’T have a plan, can they?

rushncap, I sent a child on a wild goosechase. Osama is embedded in the mind of radicalism. He’s not the key. He was executing terrorist attacks long before Bush took office. He won’t stop after Bush is gone.

Cindy, You seem to be a determined liberal first, a spoiled brat second and a determined countryman last. I can’t help you with your disappointments.

wOOt, You need to take a deep breath and move to another country if you want. You’ll find the threat of jihad most everywhere you go. It’s even in communist Russia. Putin has his hands full with the Chechnyans.

Oil is a factor in this war. Not just America’s oil, the entire world’s oil. The militant groups in Iraq are fighting each other out of fear that one group will have more control of oil revenues than the other. Iran’s interest is in securing oil within the entire Middle East. They can collapse the world economy and become the most powerful force influencing the world. Ahmadanejad has made his intentions clear. He is a radical fundamentalist who wants to rule a Muslim world.

Bush is fighting this war for the right reasons. He sees the overall threat. His country and its’ people were brutally attacked without provocation.

All is not as it appears to a closed mind.

I didn’t intend to spend this much time here. I was in several months back and nothing has changed. The arguments are the same as I left them. This country coming together in a unified effort will benefit the cause but I’m not seeing much hope for that.

Look at the countries outside the Middle East who are negotiating with and preventing sanctions against Iran. Ask yourselves why?

As we can see, civilian deaths have risen since then. The warring factions in Iraq aren’t interested in compromising on a unified government. Peace is not at hand.

My dear Danish dumpling,

Sky-is-falling fear mongers have been hysterically warning of a pan Eurasian Islamic Calipate for the past 1000 years or so.

It’s never happened because the various Moslem faiths and language and ethnic groups involved can never agree for long on anything.

Remember the United Arab Republic? Probably not. Before your time. Egypt’s Nasser and Syria’s pre-Assad leadership formed a single nation to confront Israel in 1958.

Other Arab nations refused to join. It lasted 3 years. It never threatened Israel or anyone else.

The US would do well to step aside in Iraq. Deprived of a common enemy, the Shia and Sunni (and Kurds), the Arabs and Persians will resume killing eachother, thus saving us the time, money and blood we’re expending to do that now.

Will this civil anarchy threaten oil supplies? If it does, then the international community, which is more dependent on mideast crude than the US is can step in to protect it.

But all the US is doing now with it’s “democracy or else” campaign in Iraq is encouraging anarchy.

By Wanker on the wall August 31, 2006 05:21 PM The US would do well to step aside in Iraq. Deprived of a common enemy, the Shia and Sunni (and Kurds), the Arabs and Persians will resume killing eachother, thus saving us the time, money and blood we’re expending to do that now.

And war for oil too!:

Will this civil anarchy threaten oil supplies? If it does, then the international community, which is more dependent on mideast crude than the US is can step in to protect it.

Even the “neocons” are leaving the oil to the Iraqi people.

But then again “neocons” aren’t shameless hypocrites either.

With my new youth ministry I hope to capitalize on all my recent publicity.

I have a way with children, and I have developed a special Christian outreach program for them. I’m sure it will be well received in the south, since I am in tune with southern family values.

I will be here from time to time to promote my ministry amongst the conservative Christians of Georgia. Thank you for your time.

Andy’s comments today were very absorbing, but padded and spotty. Yet he still managed to come across as a really big string puller. Period.

he’s a regular boy, in a cyclical rhythm, making timely insertions, and keeping his rep unstained.

Rev,

You’re not in tune with anyone’s values so eff off.

WOTW,

Yeah, well they’re a little more recent movement on the subject of Caliphates in Iraq.

Not to mention Hezbollah attacking Israel, what was it - 2 weeks ago?

If you want to stick your head in the sand and pretend that we’re just dealing with the Hatfields and the McCoys, go ahead. Some of us realize what is at stake here, our Commander in Chief being one of them, and “stepping aside” is not part of the potential scenarios.

Meanwhile, I’ll also keep my eyes posted on Dearbornistan - right here at home.

I’ll tell you whats amazing, is how far and wide I get read on this blog and Wootens. In the last couple of weeks, I’ve been commenting about how the Iraq war doesn’t have a geo-political justification that aligns with our ideology, and that Republicans are fascists.

So what does Bush say today? “Ideological”, and “Fascists”.

Bush has never uttered those words, and no other blogger did either till I did.

I rule. I rock. I set the agenda for two or three dozens think tanks.

it’s kinda cool.

Andy and RW can sniff my rear end and share in the glory. Now really, it’s cool down there bro’s.

So since you cannot argue facts about the ACLU you argue the moral leanings of those who started it a century ago? Danish, when you lose, you lose. Deal with it. What ACLU does is good and necessary, and whether those who founded it were Communists, Christians, NAMBLA members, Nazis, Republicans or Vulcans is entirely immaterial. The organization has nothing to do with the Communist party. You cannot defeat them in court because the law of the land forbids you, so you smear those who started it.

As for Taylor, I don’t know the facts of the case, and, frankly, have very limited interest in spending time to research it.

Good golly gee, it looks like the Washington Post made a mistake - I do share more than looks with Mr. Mehlman though!

Pete,

Isn’t it nice to know that you are that disgusting person who posted as “second string”. To think that you’re actually proud of it! Go Dems!

Rushncap,

The ideology of the ACLU is devolved from Marxism and the Communist Party, as is political correctness, as is…….your ideology. This may have began a century ago, but I guess you missed it’s influence in mid-Century American history and beyond.

So I guess that makes us losers if the likes of you and your ideology wins. Which ain’t going to happen, so don’t waste your energy with a victory lap.

Re Judge Taylor, it figures that you wouldn’t want to know the details about the race-baiting, terrorist-sympathising person we have sitting on the bench in Detroit - thanks to Jimmy Ayatollah Carter. You’d read her bio and you wouldn’t bat an eyelash.

Second String Pete,

Check out the archives, Dude. You’re like way late to the party.

Wait that could be unfair. It’s possible that no one has ever invited you to a party since your such a freaking loser.

“You cannot defeat them in court because the law of the land forbids you, so you smear those who started it”

I missed this^^gem from rushncap. How do you smear someone by quoting what THEY WROTE?

AND since when does “the law of the land” FORBID deciding a case against the ACLU?

Democrats contended that the statements went too far. “Maybe there are some people in America who do not want to fight the war on terror, but I do not know them,” Sen. Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.), chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said yesterday. “We Democrats want to fight a very strong war on terror. No one has talked about appeasement._WashingtonPost”

You got to be kidding, right?

Is this some alternate universe that you liberals are calling in from?

Have you ever heard of Filthy Mouth Murtha?

Ned Lamont?

Oh, hold up, he’s talking about fighting AGAINST the United States. Now I understand.

My bad.

Indeed, in May of this year, ————->”Truthout”<—————— a liberal Web site, reported flatly that Rove had been indicted for perjury. But a month later, Rove received word that he would not be indicted. And the only official indicted so far, former Cheney Chief of Staff Lewis “Scooter” Libby, is charged not with leaking Plame’s name, but with misleading investigators about who he talked to.-By Jeff Greenfield CNN Senior As-shole

So any pinko with Bush Derangement Syndrome can be a CNN “source,” eh?

Hey getagrip, how many times has CNN quoted you?

Isn’t that cute. Pete is giving us little drawings just to make sure we “got” his appalling “second string” routine.

I suppose it’s possible that he’s an out of work artiste whose career highlight was to write AND illustrate tampon instruction diagrams for Big Tampons.

Maybe he could make a lateral move into the exciting world of Penis Pumps.

See Pete? Life is not hopeless, even for you.

No telling how long it will last, but ml has his best work yet posted. Right now it’s nothing but a title (subject to change of course) and a poll. Interestingly the moonbats are already voting yes.

Not Andy,

Good job today, I really likes the way woot said it was nice to see that you didn’t resort to name calling and Cindy said that all you did was name call, and they were talking about the same post.

You should have stayed with just the poll.
