Democrats from Boston to L.A. are salivating over the prospects of regaining the White House and retaining control of Congress in 2008. Radical Islamic terrorists – from the secret cells in the U.S. to the secret camps on the Pakistani border – are salivating over the prospects of the Democrats regaining control of the executive branch and retaining control of Congress.
Democrats have declared that Iraq will be abandoned to whichever radical Islamic terrorist group has the most firepower and the least respect for human life. None of the Democratic candidates have even addressed the consequences of their declared surrender. Neither has the Democratic leadership in Congress.
Forget about an Iraqi constitution, resource sharing and representative government, in which America has invested billions of dollars and thousands of lives. Welcome instead another pre-war Afghanistan, where terrorists tell residents what to wear, what to think and where to direct their next suicide bomb attack. Welcome instead an unchallenged Iran, where nuclear material continues to evolve into the weapon of choice for the terrorists in training in Iraq. Welcome instead an unchallenged Syria, where radical Islamic terrorists continue to build their armies against Israel. Welcome instead an emboldened and strengthened radical Islamic leadership in Gaza that has consistently vowed to drive Israel into the sea.
Democrats consider the war against terror to be – as Democratic candidate John Edwards says – a "bumper-sticker" slogan the administration uses to frighten people into accepting its policies.
The radical Islamic terrorists are even more eager than Howard Dean to see a Clinton-Obama White House and a Reid-Pelosi Congress.
Democrats and the anti-war army that pushes them seem to suffer from the illusion that once the U.S. withdraws from Iraq and leave Muslims alone, they will return to their peaceful ways and leave Americans and other Westerners alone. In fact, Democrats are betting on it. Moreover, they are betting our future and our children's future on it.
This ostrich-like view of the world ignores history and the declared war on the United States in particular, and on non-Muslims in general.
For most of the last century, a small, determined group of radical Muslims have been working to create a Muslim-dominated world. They have not been quiet about their goals, which have been laughed off by the likes of John Edwards and his cronies. In the last generation, however, these radical Muslims have elevated terrorism into an art form that has made the mighty cower.
On Oct. 23, 1983, Islamic terrorists crashed a truck into Marine barracks in Lebanon and destroyed a four-story building, 220 Marines and 21 other people. Why were Americans in Lebanon in the first place? They were there to try to keep the peace, to prevent the radical Islamists from taking over the government by force. Sadly, America decided that freedom for another country was not worth investing American lives.
America delivered the same message every time the terrorists challenged. With each attack, the terrorists got bolder and stronger, and finally, they really got our attention on Sept. 11, 2001. For a moment or two, America bristled and displayed the character that won our independence and freedom from Europe and freedom from Japanese Imperialism in the Second World War. But it didn't last long.
Anti-war types were organizing before the first soldier left for Afghanistan. Aided by a grossly Democratic media, the no-war-at-any-cost crowd was being spotlighted, while every casualty and cost of pursuing the terrorists was amplified. They have succeeded in convincing a majority of Americans that the terrorists would not be terrorists – if the U.S. would simply leave them alone.
Osama knows that if Obama or Hillary, or both, are in the White House, he and his followers will be free to pursue their jihad, as quietly or as explosively as may be required, without fear that America will interfere. It is a good strategy.
The jihad will likely continue first in the Middle East and Europe, gaining ground and strength before confronting America again. The Democrats will crow about how their foreign policy has "saved" the U.S. from further attacks – while the rest of the world slides deeper under radical Islamic rule.
In time, when Iran has perfected its nuclear capabilities and the radical Islamic terrorists have constructed their worldwide network, and a single nuclear device has been exploded in the U.S., the no-war-at-any-cost crowd – the Democrats in control of the White House and the Congress – will be happy to welcome burkas for women and prayer mats for men – and hell for the non-compliant.

They won’t have the chance. If a nuclear weapon detonates on American soil. I would imagine the retaliation would be nation wide and on a local level.
I have my doubts as to whether a Democrat in the WH would actually significantly retaliate for such an attack.
We would probably employ sanctions, a couple “tactical strikes” from conventional missiles and a heafty helping of empty rhetoric.
Eventually the American people will revolt at this ineptitude and demand action. I could easily see a military coup against the government as a possibility in this situation. I also see as a possibility a wholesale rounding up of Arab nationals and putting them into camps, the closing of all mosques in the US and popular retaliation against Arab interests in the US. A Democratic sweep in 2008 could well tear our republic apart.
And the very first thing the dims will do in the event of a terrorist attack on their watch is to crack down on and oppress the American citizenry: In typical leftist fashion, they will punish everyone who had nothing to do with the attack. They will pass draconian measures that will strip the American people of what few rights they have left. The dims are salivating at the prospect. And, oh: that Second Amendment thing the left is so uncomfortable with? That will be the first thing the dims suspend. But it will be over my dead body.
No , by then the Democrats will have the public disarmed
