There are some highly intelligent Islamist terrorist strategists

If they are so intelligent, how come they attacked us on 9/11. 10 years from now, people will view that decision as ranking up there with Napoleon and Hitler invading Russia.

Why is this link to Iraq not being reported?

Because the ENEMY WITHIN AMERICA is working to undermine the safety of your life, the life of your family, your friends, your neighbors.

And that ENEMY IS THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

I have to go to Italy next week for business and am not looking forward to it at all. I've been expecting them to get hit since Madrid. I work for an Italian travel agency and - although our business is going gangbusters right now - the company would probably not survive an attack on Rome [or anywhere in Italy].

Probably a good idea to start looking for another job...

What happened in the Spanish elections was as much a victory for Euro/American pacifism as it was for Islamic terrorism. Most in the European and American press were blaming Aznar and Bush for the terrorist bombings in Spain. Aznar for his premature charges of ETA complicity and Bush for his premature invasion of Iraq. In another words, the press had their 'real' culprit... and it wasn't the jihadists.

It is my distinct fear that America will become the new enemy to world 'peace'. Munich's 'Peace in Our Time' has mutated into 'Peace at All Costs... the United States be damned'! One has only to look at the final decades of the Roman Empire to see just how much governments are willing to pay for tribute in order to avoid the cold steel of reality.

We shouldn’t underestimate “Islamist terrorist strategists”. Sure they are not just primitive laymen. Sure they know “how to exploit divisive issues in European politics”. They are successfully exploiting both the attacks and the very fear of them to pursue their goals too. Denmark e.g. has actually turned into the Chechen terrorist beehive with lots of fishy “Chechen committees” and foundations and gatherings and refugees. Danish authorities want to stay safe and secure. The Chechen presence is viewed as sort of a guarantee.
Isn’t it the betrayal of other European countries living in common European house?
