The barbarians,both here and abroad,will blame Bush and the press will go along with it.
It's our own citizens that bothers me the most.Don't they care at all about this country?
Obviously I blame the terrorists, but the media also has some culpability in this.
The terrorists desperately want to influence the American election. They knew killing Maupin on Independence Day in Iraq would be shrewd. The American media has made endangered every soldier's life in Iraq by covering this in the most pessimistic, morale sapping way possible.
I think the tactics used by these animals are very easy to understand. They will continue to bomb, capture and behead Americans, Westerners, foreigners, etc. until people get sick of seeing it and hearing about it. This will cause those same people to vent there disgust on Bush, Blair et al thus removing these leaders (particularly Bush) from office, i.e. out of power, shamed and defeated. The animals win. After all, it worked in Spain. They believe this will work because Arab and Western media outlets will eagerly air the reports and videos of the captured and the killings.
It remains to be seen if this tactic will really work. So far, I don't know. We'll know by November, though.
