Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING

Body of the article doesn't match the fervor of the headline.

The idiot EDITORS are angry at "America". Looking at the QUOTES the writer used to justify this position:

Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel — an advocate of closer ties with Washington — had veiled criticism of the United States, saying: "The ends cannot justify the means."

New Zealand's Prime Minister Helen Clark joined many when she said: "No, we're not more secure since 9/11."

Israel's Haaretz daily expressed disappointment and cynicism in an op-ed piece that said: "This is Sept. 11 five years later: a political tool in the hands of the Bush administration."


The terrorists STILL hate America. This is news???
"You gave us every legitimacy and every opportunity to continue fighting you," al-Zawahri said, addressing the U.S. in the video, which appeared to be new. "You should worry about your presence in the (Persian) Gulf and the second place you should worry about is Israel."

[note: I'm posting this on every thread of its kind today]

I am angry today. I want to board the first flight to any muslem country and vent my anger. I am tired of the way our government is dancing around punishing radical Islam. I am frustrated that America is being seen as a bully - when it is America that comes to the aid of every toilet bowl country on the planet and ultimately, more often than not, gets spit on by our hosts.

I refuse to feel any sensitivity toward followers of that bastard, mohammed.

I object to having to share an ounce of my air to arabs who refuse to stand up against the radical element within their own culture. In my mind they are as guilty as the killers - the cowards - the jokes that call themselves soldiers. The punks that hide behind women and children.

I am angry that our troops are not allowed to engage the enemy wholeheartedly, but they are forced to endure religious tolerance. They cannot destroy the mosques that harbor these cowards. They are arrested for making mistakes in smoke checking non-combatants ... something we didn't have to concern ourselves with in any other war.

I wish I were not too old and busted up ... because I would consider it an honor to be dropped off on a rooftop anywhere on Earth and be the tool that hands out justice to those radical islam [****]ers. If I were president for 24 hours - I'd bring home every soldier on the planet to go door to door, here in America for one reason ..... to boot out every illegal, every potential terrorist, secure our borders and give back the freedom our fathers died to preserve. While that operation was taking place I'd send every terrorist nation this warning - that while we were ridding our own country of its vermin ... if any of you islamist aholes so much as look at any of our friends across the world .. or try to harm any Americans anywhere .... we will nuke Mecca, Lebanon, Indonesia, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Iran and any known moslem shithole into the stone age.

I'm angry today....my spelling and punctuation bears witness to it and I think I'll stay that way for a while.

And Europe has squandered the goodwill of America. Screw you, Europe.

There was never a second of goodwill. If you think there was you're a fool. That French quote was a ruse to hide their glee.

Why do people go into mental vapor-lock whenever Europe is mentioned?

Because Europe today is so 30s.
And they do not remember the past.

Call is frustration and disappointment.

Check out some of the knee-jerk reactions on this thread. Priceless.

Critics say Americans have squandered the goodwill that prompted France's Le Monde newspaper to proclaim "We are all Americans" that somber day after the attacks, and that the Iraq war and other U.S. policies have made the world less safe in the five years since.

If we have to have 3000 of our citizens murdered by cowardly terrorists in order to get the goodwill of the frenchies and the rest of Europe, then forget them anyway. Don't look to us to bail you out when the islamofacists try to take you over like Hitler did 66 years ago.

It's a clear case of product liability. Somewhere John Edwards is channeling the ghost of a baby.

All that goodwill brought down the Towers to begin with and was quite evident long before 9-11.

It's just another attempt to justify the miserable jealousy, envy, and hatred by people who can't get past the fact that if we did not take steps to defend ourselves, their oil, and their way of life, their cushy lives that don't think about where on earth the police are would be over.

Short memories. After Vietnam the UN, Time magazine, all of them decided that the US needed to be the world's policeman. It happened. Now they scream.

I would like very much for the US to announce the complete withdrawal from everything. Winner take all in the chaos and leave us alone.

Learn Farsi, Europe, because your oil is Iran's and Iran owns you. Your future is Islam and all the Sharia you can obey.
