I wish I could say it was a joke. They make it sound like something it's not; but that should be no surprise.

God used to kill people for murmuring and complaining. And sometimes He just let them wander around the desert for 40 years, never entering the promised land.

Fox had a couple of wanderers on this September morning.

9-11 relatives and other interviewees/complainers:
"Buildings have to be made safer."
"More work has to be done to make the lives easier for . . . transgendered and crossdressing. . ."

And CNN has found some trouble spots in the Astrodome. We knew if they kept at it, they'd find something.

So much for honoring the dead.

Cindy ought to join them, she'd fit right in.

To: Tejas Punto; All
If you're reading this before the end of the day on Sunday, September 11, 2005 I hope you made the effort to fly the American Flag in front of your house or on display somewhere else prominently.

The flying of Old Glory on this day of infamy is the symbolism of our nation united in the face of a terrorist threat.

Our troops stand in harm's way in Afghanistan and Iraq, and some voices in this country are sounding a cry for retreat and seemingly attempting to play revisionist games with recent events.

It would be great if people all around this nation were reminded of some of the key points below. And perhaps they will be with your help - by sending a link to this post to friends, family members, co-workers and colleagues. And finally, I hope when you read this, you'll realize why we need your participation in the rallies we will hold across the nation the week after next, culminating in the giant "Support The Troops And Their Mission" Weekend in Washington, D.C. Keep watching the Move America Forward Website for more information.

President Bush Thanks Our Troops Serving in Iraq

The War in Iraq is Central

to the War on Terrorism

Some people in this nation have come to the incorrect conclusion that Operation Iraqi Freedom has nothing to do with the attacks against the United States on 9/11.

These people either are ill informed, or they deliberately are trying to mislead the American people in the hopes of turning them against our military, our commander in chief and the mission our men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces are serving in Iraq. In many cases they represent a radical, far-left agenda that most Americans would promptly denounce. One of the strongest advocates for the anti-war effort is the Socialist Worker which is now promoting the anti-war tours of Cindy Sheehan and British socialist politico, George Galloway.

This anti-military constituency ignores the fact that what made Afghanistan such a threat to this nation was that it served as a state-sponsored breeding ground and training ground for terrorism. Al Qaeda operatives were free to gain access to weapons, bomb-making materials and train terrorists in Afghanistan because the government of that nation was sympathetic to the extremist Islamic agenda that was very much anti-American and anti-Israel.

The same situation has existed in Iraq. Saddam Hussein provided a safe-harbor for terrorists to base their operations, gain access to forged papers to travel around the world, and to acquire the materials and weapons to slaughter Americans and other innocents of the West.

As Andrew McCarthy explains in National Review:

"Saddam Hussein's regime was a crucial part of that response because it was a safety net for al Qaeda. A place where terror attacks against the United States and the West were planned. A place where Saddam's intelligence service aided and abetted al Qaeda terrorists planning operations. A place where terrorists could hide safely between attacks. A place where terrorists could lick their wounds. A place where committed terrorists could receive vital training in weapons construction and paramilitary tactics. In short, a platform of precisely the type without which an international terror network cannot succeed."

If you don't want to believe us, maybe you'll believe the Iraqi General who served under Saddam Hussein and witnessed the training of more than 4,000 terrorists at Saddam's orders.

If you're still confused that the terrorist elements under Saddam Hussein's regime were part of the Islamic terrorist coalition (that includes Al Qaeda) maybe we can make it even more straightforward for you.

The individual who leads the terrorists in Iraq right now (who have injured or killed U.S. Troops, Coalition Forces, and Iraqi civilians) is a man named Abu Musab al Zarqawi. He is the head of Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Abu Musab al Zarqawi - Al Qaeda in Iraq

You would think given the fact that the organization shooting at the men and women of our Armed Forces in Iraq was named Al Qaeda in Iraq that it would occur to the anti-war/anti-military/anti-troop crowd that perhaps these were Osama Bin Laden's allies in Iraq.

But, again, they turn a deaf ear towards these facts because the facts undermine their anti-war/anti-military and anti-Bush jihad.

When you read in the newspapers or see on TV someone who says 'maybe we should pull out of Iraq' realize this very important fact: These individuals are saying we should surrender to Al Qaeda... that we should cut and run and admit defeat to the people who have savagely attacked our nation for more than the past decade (including the horrific attacks of 9/11, the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole, the bombings of U.S. Embassies around the world, the original bombing of the World Trade Centers in 1993, etc...).

Lest you think that the idea that the terrorists in Iraq are led by Al Qaeda is a right-wing falsehood, then perhaps you'll accept it when CNN (the most pro-Saddam television network during the two Gulf Wars) says it.

And if you or someone you know still doesn't get the role Iraq plays in the fight against terrorism and the ties to Al Qaeda, maybe hearing from one of the journalists who has been on the scene - in the thick of the battle with these terrorists - will provide a clearer understanding.

Michael Yon recently lamented about the fact that the mainstream news media had failed to realize that they were sitting on one of the most important stories from the fight in Iraq: that the Al Qaeda backed terrorist network in the Mosul area had been badly beaten back by Coalition Forces led by the United States. This would serve as a major victory for the war effort in Iraq, yet most journalists are so out-of-touch with the events in Iraq (and so biased against the military's mission there) that they didn't even realize the scoop beneath their noses:

"...the top Al-Qaeda leader in Mosul writes to the second most wanted man in the world, and describes in amazing detail the weaknesses and impending collapse of the terrorist network in Mosul and surrounds."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secretary of State Condi Rice Greets U.S. Troops in Afghanistan

The "Bring Them Home Now" Crowd

Want to Surrender in Afghanistan Too

Those who have been taking to the streets (and to the ditches of Crawford, Texas) to argue for U.S. Troops to withdraw from Iraq, have insisted that they support the broader fight against terrorism.

However, these are false words made in a defensive posture, said out of necessity. Many of the same voices who advocate surrendering to the terrorists in Iraq were vocal opponents to a military response against Al Qaeda following the 9/11 attacks on the United States.

Let's take the example of one of the better known anti-Iraq war voices in this country right now, Cindy Sheehan.

Ms. Sheehan told MSNBC's Chris Matthews that she is opposed to the war against the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan as well, because she believes, "that Afghanistan is almost the same thing," as Iraq.

The World Socialist Web Site explained in October 9, 2001, that their reasons for opposing the war in Afghanistan as follows:

"We reject the dishonest claims of the Bush administration that this is a war for justice and the security of the American people against terrorism."

These are now the same phony excuses used by the likes of Jane Fonda, Michael Moore and other leading anti-war critics when they speak out about the fight against terrorism in Iraq.

One of the most common refrains from those opposed to military action in Afghanistan was that we should instead "bomb them with bread" - as if bread and butter were what Osama bin Laden and his compatriots were interested in. They ignore the fact that the agenda of the radical Islamic extremists is to crush the Judeo-Christian world. Their number one targets are Israel and the United States because of who we are, what our values our, and the freedoms we grant to individuals.

But the "bomb them with bread" crowd refuses to accept this reality. And thus, their storyline hasn't changed from Afghanistan to Iraq... they continue on with their "Blame America First" mentality.

So why on earth should we listen to these people now when it comes to how best deal with the terrorist forces in Iraq?

The director of MoveOn.org, Eli Pariser, was one of those in the 'Blame America First' crowd that felt that the blame for the 9/11 attacks rested with the United States, and not the actual terrorists who attacked us.

In fact, Pariser started a 9/11 Peace petition that urged the White House not to take military action against the terrorists.

The petition was housed at the website http://www.911peace.org - but Pariser has had the petition removed to provide cover for MoveOn.org - as it is not a particularly popular position to advocate surrender to the forces of Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan following 9/11.

Here are the links to where the petition used to be found - before Pariser had it taken down:

http://www.911peace.org/petition.php3

http://www.9-11peace.org.cijavahosting.com/action.php3

Eli Pariser, MoveOn, and others are peddling the same 'surrender to terrorism' approach that they advocated after 9/11 in Afghanistan. They were wrong then and they are wrong again today about Iraq.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We Can't Cut & Run Now...

We Can't Allow the Anti-Military Crowd to Undermine the Mission Our Troops Are Serving in Iraq & Afghanistan

I encourage you to accept Move America's invitation you to join them as I have, as we rally together Americans to show our support for our troops and their brave fight against terrorism in Iraq & Afghanistan.

The men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces risk not only life and limb each day, but they must contend with seeing news reports of radical, anti-military extremists taking to the streets denouncing the work our troops do each day. This is demoralizing!

The anti-military crowd is mobilizing for one of the largest anti-war rallies to date - including a cross-country bus caravan and rally.

They're organizing under the "Bring Them Home Now Tour" as you can see here:

http://www.bringthemhomenowtour.org/

But we at Move America Forward believe in giving voice to those Americans who are sick of seeing news media coverage dedicated largely to the dark voices who work to undermine our troops and their mission.

And every time one of these anti-military groups takes to the streets to rally for surrender, we believe patriotic Americans must stand up and prevent another "Vietnamization" from taking place in this nation.

Our country cannot lose the resolve and the will to prevail in the struggle with the terrorists about what kind of world our children inherit.

Please go to the website to find out how you can join in the "We Support The Troops And Their Mission" national bus tour and rally.

http://www.MoveAmericaForward.org

You can also provide financial support for the tour and the rallies here:

Some satire about Cindy Sheehan's feelings for the Joos:

Relax Gentiles -- not by Morderchai Shapirostein, secret King of the Jews

Oy! I decided to take a short break from drinking the blood of Christian babies to congratulate Cindy Sheehan on figuring out our evil plan. Yes, it’s true, we Jews hate Catholics so much, we made our slave George Bush start a war in Iraq so Catholic boys would go there and get shot. Mother Sheehan is just too smart for us.

It seems like we can’t keep a conspiracy under wraps any more. The Tri-Lateral Commission…the Illuminati…the World Banking System…the blackmail scheme to make Nabisco take the lard out of Oreos…it’s all right out there for everyone to read about. We might as well incorporate and go public. “JewCo: plotting tomorrow’s Zionist conspiracies today.”

Yesterday I was talking to my master, the devil, about this. He said not to worry. Jews control the media, so from now on, when a story about Cindy Sheehan comes on, we’ll have our lackeys replace it with an old episode of Everybody Loves Raymond. Gentiles can’t resist Ray Romano. For some unfathomable reason.

Don’t worry about our aggressive imperialist tendencies. We’re going to stop as soon as we occupy all the territory the Bible calls “Israel.” We figure the northern boundary is somewhere near Stockholm, and it runs east to Kansas or maybe Wyoming. And we’re not going to eat your babies along the way. Not all of them. Only the really plump, juicy ones with lots of tasty belly meat.

Well...I'm sure you're being facetious and know the answer to that already but I'll go ahead and answer it anyway.

The media is not covering anything about 9/11 memorials --because they're in support of the other side. They're in support of the Cindy Sheehans and the Code Pinks and the George Galloways and hollywood...that's why people are generally happy when they get their news from the internet and avoid the MSM. The MSM plainly is partisan and doesn't tell the truth. They still don't get it...but there are forces out there who are trying to shut down the internet as a news source...Google has all kinds of bias...indymedia is considered a news source...they don't allow certain ads but they allow ads for 'the other side' with the same exact verbiage. Someone did a test and found Google was plainly partisan.

That's why pictures like the chemical attacks on the kurds are so hard to find.

That's terrific! I just got a new flag and a "club gitmo" flag from Rush Limbaugh. Cracks me up because I'm in a "blue state". When I went to the Cindy Sheehan event in Batavia there was an SUV that had two Iraqi flags flying from the windows...alongside other cars that said "IMPEACH BUSH".

On the news coverage of the last Cindy Sheehan event--they showed her...but they didn't show the people who were demonstrating against her --and she was only there about 2 minutes.

That prize is absolutely worthless! First Jimmah Carter and now Code Pink? Is this a joke?

Yes, it is. The Peace Prize is to the Nobel awards what the Golden Globes are to the movie industry.

Carter, the worst president of my lifetime and, IMHO, the 3rd worst of the 20th Century (Harding and Hoover are 1 and 2), won for doing absolutely nothing to further world peace. He was given the award so the Peace Prize people could spit in the eye of George W. Bush.
