I found this article at http://www.littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog

The forces of good are winning in the West Bank, in Gaza, in Afghanistan, in Fallujah and Najaf -- in fact, in all of Iraq. Now if we only could win in the New York Times and CNN...

"The Palestinian Authority used to support us, but we’ve had no funding from them for the past two months,"

Hmmm. Where had the PA been getting that funding?

Could it be ... Saddam?

[Piranha]

Great point, jdege.

I skipped right over that quote, but it should have leaped off the page at me.

Is it just me, or doesn intifada sound like a new meal special at Taco Bell? Try our new Intifada! 3 cheeses, crispy lettuce, tomatoes, rice, refried beans & grilled white meat chicken on a soft corn tortilla with chipotle sauce. MMMMmmmm, the new Intifada!

All we want now is for the prisoners to come home

What is with these people? Do they think this is some kind of effin' game? This reminds me of when the Taliban information minister was captured and told US military personnel that he "just wants to go home now".

" Where had the PA been getting that funding? Could it be ... Saddam?"

I think you nailed it.

But I read the Saudis were going to pick up the slack. Maybe after the last Saudi shoot out, the checks stuck in the mail.

Maybe the murderers are coming to realize that it is time to act like grownups, not savage subhumans.

They had peace from 1996 to 2000 and they could have it again. All they have to do is get rid of the terrorists and the whole world would be there to help them.

This is the problem with fighting a war with savages. The savages know the civilized people are soft and they have nothing to lose (since they don't value their own lives) and when all is said and done no matter what butchery they engaged in the civilized people will be nice to them.

I wonder how many years they think somebody caught with a suicide belt transporting an underage bomber should get...

the market was flooded with rotten canned food past its legal expiry date," he recalls.

I have canned goods in my pantry that was bought YEARS AGO and it's still good.

These creatures are all pathological liars but how do you excuse the alleged "journalists" who keep distributing this excrement?

Oh, isn't that just precious!!!

Sounds like the intifadah (or whatever in the hell it is called) dried up when the pali's sugar daddy went to jail. Gotta love that W!

HonestFreedom,


It's simple: Moslems and Palestinians are the Gutter-Dogs of Hummanity.


Moslems and Palestinians breed like sub-human vermin, then sacrifice their own children to become "Human Bombs", killing others' Children in the process.


Moslems and Palestinians are typical of the Arab mental squalor that's condemned entire sub-continents to vast cesspools of poverty, disease, and brutal ignorance.


Moslem and Palestinian Women are worthy of the Enslavement in which they and their Babies suffer eternal damnation, at the hands of Pseudo-Men whose Barbarism is only exceeded by their Pathetic Depravity towards the Moslem Boys playing at the local Mosque.


Moslem and Palestinian Women could have rebelled against their Depraved Male Slave-Masters decades ago, as did their Asian and Western European sisters. But the Arab's racial cowardice (genetically inbred over the centuries) condemns Arab Men and Children to flee from genuine Honor just as disease flees from Penecilum.


Why does the entire Civilized World turn away in disgust at Moslems and Palestinians ?


Because even the monstrously evil Bolshevicks and Nazis had the courage to fight their enemies as Men, face-to-face, eyeball-to-eyeball.


Because even the deranged Japanese Kamakaze Pilots of World War II mustered the honor of a suicide-death in the face of Open Battle.


Accordingly, even fifty (50) years after World War II, American, Japanese, British, German and Russian soldiers will even toast together the mutal memory of their fallen comrades, because all were imbued with the Singular Honor of Men who Sacrificed Their Lives (on the field of battle) for their respective nations.


Moslems and Palestinians ? They cannot even comprehend such Honor.


It's as foreign to Moslems and Palestinians as America's Bill of Rights and the God-Ordained Right of Women to enjoy the blessings of life and family, without living as Dowery Slaves in the Shadow of Fear of being Burned at the Stake to satify the Satanic Monsters lurking in the Soul of every Islamic man.



Have I made my Point ?

...though posters of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin and his short-lived successor Abd al-Aziz Rantisi, killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza, are plastered up all over town.

There, that looks better.

I understand that the word "intifada" means uprising and connotes a popular revolt. It was widely used to describe the stone-throwing, rioting and other sometimes-violent acts of civil disobediance of Palestinian Arabs in the West Bank in 1989-1991, although it is questionable how much of a popular revolt those riots were, and how much they were centrally controlled.

When in September 2000 Arafat's terrorist cabal started their campaign of bombings of families, people eating at cafes, riding buses, celebrating Passover, dancing at nightclubs, etc., they called this war the "second intifada" to try and recapture the feeling of popular uprising. Although in this case nobody maintains that it is a popular revolt, the name has stuck in most of the media.

Right wing groups in Israel call it the Oslo War, as the natural outcome of the Oslo Process of "land for peace" that began in 1991, since the "Second Intifada" began when Arafat rejected Prime Minister Barak's proposal to surrender nearly all of the West Bank and half of Israel's capital, Jerusalem, to those butchers.

[Piranha]

They had peace from 1996 to 2000 and they could have it again. All they have to do is get rid of the terrorists and the whole world would be there to help them.

You probably know that the Palestinian Arab campaign began in 2000 when Ariel Sharon toured the Temple Mount in Jerusalem (with the permission of the Muslim religious authorities). Shortly after that, Sharon won election as Prime Minister.

I don't remember where I read this, but one pundit asked (rhetorically) how the world would have reacted if Arafat had met him there, put his arm around his shoulders and said that the Palestinian Arabs will take their half of Jerusalem, and all of the West Bank and Gaza, and will live in peace with their Jewish neighbors.

Barak would have won re-election, the Likud would have been ridden out of town on a rail and the Palestinians would have received even more international aid than they currently receive from the EU, the UN and the US.

So much for "tit-for-Tat"

seems one side is winning big.

[colorado tanker]

This report cannot be accurate. The State Department, media and elites tell us that fighting terrorism with force only creates more terrorists and perpetuates the "cycle of violence."
