War opponents are cheerfully heralding the National Intelligence Councils national intelligence estimate that portrays our war in Iraq as the catalyst for increasing terrorist volunteers.
Completed in April but recently cited in The New York Times, the NIE reportedly assesses that were creating more terrorists by fighting them. Apparently, the alternative strategy is hoping that the enemy will surrender to the relentless blows of our acquiescence.

Selective assassinations of certain Imams -- in creative ways that "send the message" that Allah did not protect them (i.e. found dead with Hormel Bacon in their stomach, so they are not merely martyrs) will do a lot to stop the up-and-coming flow of terrorists.
Cheers!
More terrorist means that terrorism is losing; if terrorism were winning they wouldn't need more terrorist.
Sounds like a good reason to do away with the vast majority of government programs!

Or marching in their streets... You know the old riddle: "Why did the French plant trees along the Champs Elysis?" "So the German Army can march in the shade."
But the French haven't surrendered in every "war." Remember not that long ago, when the French defeated Greenpeace, by sinking their navy?

What can I say? Our hearts are in the right place, but we like doing things the hard way.
Sure, that is the perspective of the useful-idiots-of-the-jihad.
Truth is, when the jihadi-terrorists launched an attack on the USofA when we finally had a man as president it was the catalyst for their destruction.
Actually, during WWII we saw what happened to people who were unable to fight back.
We saw what the Soviets did to Polish prisoners at Katyn Wood. We saw what the SS did to Jews, Confessing Christians, Gypsys, and homosexuals in the death camps.
Fighting back? Not the right thing to do, but the only thing to do. For the lack of will, and the simple skills such as adjusting artillery fire, cleaning a machine gun, and flying a bomber aircraft, millions were murdered.
The French POWs died in large numbers. Better to be a Maquis in the woods than a French officer in a POW camp.
"Here's the deal. Islamic culture is in danger of being annihilated by modern culture, technology, and politics. There simply isn't room for them to hide any longer. The world has gotten too small.
Within the next 50 to 100 years, Islam will mutate into either a peaceful, docile faith that pretty much denies it's heritage, or into a shambling, psychotic cult. Possibly it may fracture into both. What it can't do is exist as it has for hundreds of years. It's core teachings are simply incompatible with reality, and are losing their ability to insulate it's followers from the outside influences.
What we're seeing now is that last charge of the Islamic light brigade, into the jaws of an enemy they can't beat. They'll cause us some damage, to be sure, but victory is not in the cards. At some point, they'll have to choose either to join the modern world, at the cost of some core beliefs, or to hide from reality by shutting out the outside world, physically, politically, and economically. That's when the war you describe will come."
Well put. I don't think it will take that long. A generation or two should do it. The world is changing too rapidly for it to take 50 years.
Fighting back? Not the right thing to do, but the only thing to do.Or how about:
(I'm not correcting your post, just running with it. Trying to come up with something that will look good on a t-shirt.)
This is absolutely true. Studies have shown that there is a short time period during which the guns fall silent, between final surrender and the beginning of the certain to follow mass executions. Our brilliant liberal war strategists certainly understand this aspect of warfare. They are counting on using the intervening time to scurry into the undergrowth. Or better yet, act as quislings, betraying anyone that resisted the Jihadist-Fascists and hoping against hope that they miserable lives will be spared. They won't be, by the way.
I like it!
Heck, make it part of your act.
I shamelessly ripped off Vince Lombardi's "Winning isn't the most important thing, its the only thing!
