Acts of submission.

The term was Winston Churchill's description of the different methods that had been employed by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain and his supporters to appease Hitler and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini in the 1930's. Chamberlain was appeasing, Churchill said, "in the hope that by great and far-reaching acts of submission, not merely in sentiment and pride, but in material matters, peace may be preserved." He went on to warn, correctly, of just how foolish -- and -- dangerous this would be to England.

If followed in a linear fashion, through the maze of late 20th century American history, personalities and politics the real reason why ex- President Clinton has so many critics over his policies dealing with terrorism -- the reason why this fall's midterm election brings another blistering critique of Democrats on national security issues -- is that, like Chamberlain and company, they have a history of "acts of submission." It is a very decided and by now very defined pattern of acts of submission by modern Democrats to foreign threats -- from Communism to Islamic fascism.

Let's start with the night of Wednesday, August 28th, 1968. On that night the Democratic Party, America's oldest, begins to implode.

Beloved Brothers & Sisters,

The word islam in arabic can be defined as complete "SUBMISSION" so whether this author knows it or not;everytime a terror state wins a political victory, they claim that it is the work of their particular diety. ie. the messiah or madhi, the profit or allah. We are playing with fire when we act in any manner effeminate or politically correct and demonstrably weak. According to no less a terrorist as UBL, it only imbolded UBL when x42 pulled out of Monica, I mean eer Somalia. We are playing directly into their hands. The Soviet defeat by tribes in Afganistan etc,,,
Instead of headlong retreat we need to play by "HaMMa Rules" and to demonstrate senseless violence, total brutality and ruthless abandon. Only them will the consequences be REAL to the muslim terrorists.HaMMa was the name of the large Syrian city that Assad the Elder totally destroyed for muslim fanaticism in the 80's. The muslim brotherhood has never recovered. Ironically, it will also probably be Syria that ends up on the recieving end of our demonstration.( see the Bible for the relevent passage)eg. damascus ruinous heap, spare the wine and the oil etc,,

Remember the mess Bush had to clean up after the Florida delay? Who said they had 8 months prior to 9/11? Remember the removal of "W"s from keyboards and other acts of vandalism? The adults had to make the kids play by the rules then they had to clean up the mess of the temper tantrums on top of 8 years of the White House being treated like "animal house".
