In light of the increasing noise from the fifth column in America, it is a serious question whether President Bush would have the will to deploy military force even to stop a deadly serious threat to the United States.
I'm speaking, of course, of Darfur.
Saddam's barbaric rape rooms, chemical attacks and torture those, liberals could live with. But now they want us to send troops to Darfur, a country from which no one anticipates terrorism anytime in the next millennium. If you're looking for a good definition of "no imminent threat," Darfur is it. The climate change "emergency," set to start taking effect sometime during the next century, is a more imminent threat to the United States than Darfur.
These people can't even wrap up genocide. We've been hearing about this slaughter in Darfur forever and they still haven't finished. The aggressors are moving like termites across that country. It's like genocide by committee. Who's running this holocaust in Darfur, FEMA?
This is truly a war in which we have absolutely no interest. But liberals want our boys to go fight scimitar-wielding dervishes. While the Democrats hold pointless hearings into what George Bush had for breakfast, Republicans should pass a law prohibiting liberals from mentioning Darfur until Horace Mann and Dalton are prepared to put up a battalion.
So no, Darfur is not the threat I was imagining.
I haven't even told you what that threat is though a hostage-taking, Holocaust-denying lunatic who doesn't own a necktie but is within two years of having a nuclear bomb comes to mind. You can already hear Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi saying, "If the Democrats were in charge, the use of military force wouldn't be necessary because we'd constructively engage them and appease their stated desire to kill us."
Damn that Bush! He's made people who hate our guts not like us.
In uplifting thought No. 57 about the war, liberals keep telling us that Iraqis are genetically indisposed to freedom, which I would characterize as the hard bigotry of low expectations. On this week, let us remember the message of Passover is that freedom doesn't come easy.
Moses had to grab Jews by the scruff of their necks and drag them to the desert for 40 years to get a generation capable of living in freedom and even then the Jews were complaining about it being too drafty. The first "stiff-necked" generation didn't even want to leave Egyptian captivity.
Once free, they complained about the food, which apparently compared unfavorably to the food back in Egypt. Kind of reminds you of liberals talking about Saddam's rape rooms.
Even in the desert, the Jews would not stop with the golden calves. God nearly let the whole lot of them perish in the desert, he was so angry about their idolatrous ways. Only when he had a new generation, born in freedom, that didn't complain about the food, did he lead them to the promised land. For you liberals still reading, this is all extensively covered in a book known as the "Bible."
(Also this week, we celebrate a fast-track to freedom that doesn't require 40 years in the desert, but as I recall, the suggestion that we convert Muslims to Christianity was shot down early on in this war.)
If you want a shorter rebuilding process, then we're going to have to wage less humane wars. The enemy as well as innocent civilians must be bombed into quivering terror. Otherwise, we displace aggression but don't destroy it.
Americans are weaker for having seen that kind of carnage in World War II. Recall that the Worst Generation was raised by the Greatest Generation. That tells you how awful war is. The Greatest Generation was so exhausted by the war, it didn't have the spine to stand up to pot-smoking, draft-dodging hippies occupying administration buildings. But enough about Bill Clinton. If we're going to have humane wars, they are going to take a little bit longer.
That wouldn't be so bad, except that it gives fifth columnists more time to demoralize Americans and convince them that we are losing a war in the paramount struggle of our time.
bttt
THWAPP!
I do have to point one thing out. Sudan is ran by a radical Islamic regime which once housed bin laden and also supports a genocide against Christian Africans. Terrorism coming from Sudan is not impossible nor unlikely. Also, I would rather the U.S. went in and kicked the fascists and their Chinese backers out and end the genocide and secure those energy resources for ourselves.
I don’t know how the title got screwed up,
but you might want to correct it.
Yup, that will leave a mark!

Durfar is not a quagmire that I think we should be involved in.
Let the UN send in buses (run on corn oil of course) and pick everyone up that wants to leave. Then drive to some other country.
Darfur, and the Sudan, are just one of those clumsy artifacts that do not seem to fit anywhere. The local sport seems to be something like playing polo with live people used variously as the polo balls and the clubs, with the players mounted up on Toyota pickup trucks. The people-as-polo-balls have to be chosen carefully, as they must be someone the local chieftain dislikes very much, and this may change from week to week. Almost invariably, Christians get put on the top of the list, and others are substituted only when the supply of Christians begins to run low. But other factions of Muslims work quite well too, for the purposes of the game, which is to spread blood and terror all over the local populace.
Now I don’t support going over there for some open ended peacekeeping operation where our troops hands are tied to the point where they can’t actually keep the peace, with it ending like Somalia. If we were to go in, it should be complete regime change. Personally, I believe sanctions with teeth that will punish economically and isolate diplomatically Sudan and anyone who does business with them if they continue these inhuman acts would do the trick in a hurry. But it will never happen as the CHICOMS have veto power.
Personally, I like your bomb the snot out of them till they knock it the F*** off would be a good second option.
Ann Coulter. What a man.
One can wish that men were men, but,
Ann Coulter, what a man.
...If we're going to have humane wars, they are going to take a little bit longer.
That wouldn't be so bad, except that it gives fifth columnists more time to demoralize Americans and convince them that we are losing a war in the paramount struggle of our time.
The key passages...
Bump!
I'd rather see the Christian Sudanese given lots of guns and ammo, and let them free themselves
But Saddamn let the kids fly kites before he cut their tongues out. What’s the big deal?? Ann Rox!!
Pray for W and Our Troops
In before the ping!
