Maybe there is hope, if ordinary folks like Bob get it, and can write so clearly about it.

[Fitzcarraldo]

Modern Western culture is smitten with “change the channel” syndrome.

Is this the right war? Are we there for the right reasons? Who cares? That’s yesterday’s debate.==

Heh heh:).. Some got US in Iraq by the false pretense. Now they say disregard it. Me think that some cann’t build on false basement.

[jch10]

This is right on but who will believe it? I just don’t understand how the whole world can be so naive.

Why are there so few of us who understand the consequences of withdrawing our troops from Iraq?

[ClearBlueSky]

Islam and Nazism can be compared up to a point.
That point being- there was ONE Hitler, one main madman, and a lot of evil followers along with the German citizens who
allowed and supported their rise.

We now have MILLIONS of Hitlers with Islam. Each willing, and able, to do more killing than Hitler ever ,personally, did.
We also have the ‘good Muslims’ who allow, and support, their rise.
Why are the Muslims who don’t, actively, participate in terror-yet support it- labeled ‘good’? Did anyone dream of using the term ‘good Nazi’ for those who wanted Germany Uber Alles in WW2?

And the most frightening thing is that the world today doesn’t have the guts to oppose one Hitler, much less the millions it now faces.

One idea must be remembered when dealing with those on the Left who oppose the war in Iraq: they may not like the war, but most dislike GWB far more.
They see opposition to the war as a means to weaken and destroy his presidency, which they view as illegitimate. They can’t use the economy, which is doing well, so the war is the next best thing.
Whatever their stated motivation, they want power more than the want the war to end.
They want the White House back and they see the war as an issue that they can use to batter they way back into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
Of course, they know Saddam was a brutal dictator - even they are not foolish enough to convert him into a Middle East Uncle Ho, whom they admired - but they don’t care.
To get back into power, the Left would make a deal with Lucifer.
And they people of Iraq - and ultimately the Middle East and the world - will have to suffer for the lust for power of a small group of Americans.

To pull out is entirely wrong. To stay makes sense. It makes huge sense.

This Iraq was the hub against the west. The spokes are still there relatively unaffected. If the west were to back out, THEN these seventh century cavemen would be feverishly back at work, unimpeded. Then there would be hellfest 2008. Israel would be gone, then europe, basically, the CIVIL g8 nations and then America.

Iran is sitting there sheltering the al quaeda,and they have gotten strong. That nuclear toolbox Iran has been working on? Will pass hands and come to America. And,they will use it.

They are a silly people.

And to put things in perspective. These sandjockeys are striving to work in a technology from 60 years ago. They need to remind themselves of who owns the brains and technologies.

You know, a simple comparison...the nobel prize. Look to see how many times the two competing groups have won...jews? a disproportiant representation..more than a couple hundred vs. all mideasterners @2???? And then they call the prize racist....

Iran still owes big for 1979...
and they have been seeding jihadi discontent for over 30 years,,,but then again its consistent with the 1350 years of its anti christian cult

The world needs to rid itself of this staphococcal infection

And like staph, this islamic infection runs deep.

To leave without administering penicillin is wrong. The gloves have to come off.

[George W. Bush]

But we don't wanna be in too deep, so we will abandon Iraq. So what? Well, now you know. Al-Zawahiri just told us that al-Qaida WILL win if we abandon Iraq. They plan on controlling the Middle East and no one will stop them. We will give al-Qaida a country they could never have taken to launch their jihad and the victory they need to assume the leadership position over hundreds of millions of the world's least educated, most superstitious and most desperate people.

He undermined himself here, failing to observe proper neo-con talking points protocol.

He's admitting that Saddam was not aligned with al-Qaeda, that those two were enemies, that only our invasion has helped al-Qaeda recruiting in Iraq and in the region.

Maybe the Weekly Standard could dispatch Fred Barnes to give him some help and keep the truth from spilling out in public.

[Chi-townChief]

Saddam just kind of “hung” with the wrong crowd:

“The British and the American people loudly declared their support for their leaders decision to attack Iraq. It is the duty of Muslims to confront, fight, and kill them.”
Osama bin Laden, December 26, 1998

“Oh sons of Arabs and the Arab Gulf, rebel against the foreigner . . . Take revenge for your dignity, holy places, security, interests, and exalted values.”
Saddam Hussein, January 5, 1999

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The threat is extremely big. The media and other leftists do all they can to hide the truth from a public. Our elected officials play games to make us “feel safe”, while doing nothing to make us be safe. They refuse to profile. They have done nothing about the terror training compound in New York state. They continue to treat Saudi Arabia like good friends.
I’m tired of trying to raise the alarm. When the next attack comes, I hope I’ll be around to say “I told you so”.

I don't know why that made me LOL, but it did. (He's right, though.)
