I hope you are correct!
I truly do... but so far- the rest of the world hasn't gotten that picture.....
but then- since when does the media ever give us an accurate picture.....
Russert was talking about Israel angering the Christians in Lebanon...I guess he was talking about the 50% of Christian Lebanese left after years of being murdered or forced out of Lebanon by Muslims.
The world will be screaming about the 30 Lebanese killed by an Israeli airstrike, but will continue to ignore the 10's of thousands of Christians in Darfur still being murdered by Muslims.
This is indeed a world war now. George Bush has known that it was inevitable since 9/11. Maybe before, as he supported getting rid of Saddam from before his election.
India is fighting Muslims, Thailand is fighting Muslims, Indonesia has fallen to Muslims, and the Phillipines are fighting an entrenched Muslim revolt.
We have now seen the killing of an author in Denmark by a Muslim that showed nothing but religious fervor as opposed to regret upon his conviction. Muslim youth went on a month long rampage in France. Muslims bombed England, and have so infested England that plot after plot is being hatched to harm the English again. Muslims killed hundreds of innocents in a Russian school.
Eventually, the world must realize that this is a religious war whether they want it or not. This religious war is different though....this time it is the Muslims against any non-believer from Christian to atheist carried out on a global scale.
Although it is fanatical Muslims that drive the violence against others, the moderate Muslim majority is refusing to reign them in. In my mind, that makes them just as responsible for the violence.
No question. I'd be more sympathetic to the victims if they were indeed just people held against their will and used as human shields/propaganda tools. However, I am inclined to believe they were family members of Hezbollah.
If that is the case, I wouldn't give the bombing another thought. Given the way these people think and act, it could be considered a strike on future Hezbollah fighters.
Either way, you are correct in saying this is the fault of those to the North (and don't forget East) of Israel.
Absolutely
Can anyone tell me where the French have succeeded as a PeaceKeeping Force?
I agree
God I am glad someone else saw this. No, I didn't notice the other people laughing. You're serious?
Because I really thought he went waaaaaay over the top. I know this thread isn't about Neil Gabler but I am filled with such rancor toward the guy and his amazing hatred.
Moving on ....
One of my least favorite people actually had the guts to speak truth to whiners.
Bill Kristol was lectured by one of the weepy hysteric Liberal types on a Fox show about the Terrorists and their supporters. She ended with what the usual Leftist thinks is the end all be all put down. "So what do you do with them (the terrorists) then?
Kristol looked at her and said "Kill them".
Gabler is doing what we want him doing. Acting like a fool
and siding with the enemy. Lets just stand back and make
mention of his foolishness, and let the results speak for
themselves.
We aren't the only ones to notice this nuttyness. I've had
friends, whom I've suspected of being in the "blue club",
mention different things that the news outlets are spewing
and commenting on the foolish tone being thrown around.
You beat me to it with that comment on headscarves.
Chad, Central Africa,
The Israelis took the bait. Hezbullah wanted this kind of reaction as Blair so eloquently said. Israel's immediate objective is a secure northern border. If it can be done diplomatically, so much the better. Hezbullah is not only Israel's problem but ours. They blew up the Marine Barracks, bombed our embassy in Beirut three times, and kidnapped and killed our diplomats including the COS. Thye are a surrogate of Iran.
Israel has failed to eliminate Hamas as a credible threat despite being in their own backyard. It is far more difficult to "eliminate Hezbullah as a credible threat" than it is to say it.
You are letting theory and wishes get in the way of rational thinking based on observed history.
Yes, I'm serious.
You have a freepmail from rodguy
THAT'S HOW THE COW ATE THE CABBAGE
"An expression to indicate the speaker is laying it on the line, telling it like it is, getting down to brass tacks - with the connotation of telling someone what he or she needs to know but probably doesn't want to hear. According to Little Rock attorney Alston Jennings, who submitted this southernism to Richard Allen's February 2, 1991, 'Our Town' column in the Arkansas Gazette, the expression has its roots in a story about an elephant that escaped from the zoo and wandered into a woman's cabbage patch. The woman observed the elephant pulling up her cabbages with its trunk and eating them. She called the police to report that there was a cow in her cabbage patch pulling up cabbages with its tail. When the surprised police officer inquired as to what the cow was doing with the cabbages, the woman replied, 'You wouldn't believe me if I told you!'"
