Levin is a Leftist Loonie!

[Graybeard58]

Blah blah blah more blather from Dionne.

[SIDENET]

What total crap.

[Argus]

Iraq has become a terrorist breeding ground since the American invasion

This is the new leftist mantra, just the latest variation on the blame the victim mentality. The London suicide bombers were apparently Pakistani immigrants who grew up in Leeds. There's no indication they were ever in Iraq. But facts have never impinged on leftist argumentation.

[speedy]

So how were we breeding the well-to-do Saudi terrorists who struck the Twin Towers? Man, the press is just one big broken record. You would think even THEY would get sick of it after awhile.

If British troops fighting in Iraq did not stop the terrorists from striking London, then what is the logic for believing that American troops fighting in Iraq will stop terrorists from striking our country again?

He didn't say that it would, and in fact this is only a distortion by anti-Bush zealots who are eager to set the bar so high we cannot possibly succeed in Iraq. In fact, the strategy of engaging jihadists in Iraq does not guarantee anything except that dead ones there won't turn up live over here. It does guarantee that.

Should it turn out as it has been suggested that London's terrorists were domestic products I don't think we'll be hearing an apology from Mr. Levin.

[jveritas]

Because if we are not killing and capturing thousands of terrorists in Iraq we would have seen much more terrorists attacks in the West, including the USA. Got it you idiots on the left, I doubt it you do get it because you are blinded by hate toward President Bush and yes because you are dumb as well.

[Blzbba]

How does fighting terrorists in Iraq stop sleeper cells in America and Canada from attacking America?

[adorno]

"We're fighting the enemy in Iraq and Afghanistan and across the world so we do not have to face them here at home."

Bush has been saying that for a long time and way before the London attacks.

Nobody can deny that it is better to fight them abroad than at home. But, the U.S. has been fighting the terrorists at home as witnessed by the corralling of some sleeper cells and the regulations/laws passed to stop airliner hyjackings. And then, there is the number enemy of the left, the Partiot Act.

Most other countries would like to pretend that terrorism doesn't affect them and that it is only a problem for the big, bad U.S. to worry about. A lot of those countries haven't done much to combat terrorists either at home or abroad and in many cases have done nothing more than to appease and encourage the terrorists. Their attitude is that if they don't anger the terrorists, the terrorists won't target them. Their time will come, if not in the near future, then in the long run.

Bush is 100% correct about fighting the terrorists abroad. The countries in Europe and the rest of the world would be smart to adopt the same policies and attitude.

[Growler]

Or, to quote the President in the past, "bring 'em on." Does any thinking person really doubt the long term benefits of killing thousands of would be terrorists in Iraq? Or really wonder why we haven't seriously tried to close Iraq's borders? It's obviously a lot easier to let them throw themselves on our pikes than try to ferret them out in their lairs in neighboring countries.

[tobyhill]

Blair is probably mad because while he's helping fight them in Iraq and Afghanistan, he forgot to take care of his home grown Radical Muslim problem.
