The Islamist Case for George W.
The Washington Times ^ | September 2, 2004 | Wesley Pruden

Posted on 09/01/2004 10:21:36 PM PDT by quidnunc

Six thousand miles from Madison Square Garden, the Islamist barbarians are making a grim and eloquent case for George W. Bush.

A little more than a thousand miles from the convention floor, John F. Kerry agreed, telling the American Legion in convention assembled in Nashville, Tenn., that the terrorist scourge must remain at the top of the nation's agenda. Continuing barbarism has put it ahead even of the bread-and-butter domestic issues, important but not nearly as important as the survival of Western civilization.

"With the right policies," Monsieur Kerry told the Legionnaires, "this is a war we can win, this is a war we must win, and this is a war we will win."

He gave the needle — not undeserved — to the president for his slip of the tongue earlier in the week with the remark to a television interviewer that the war on terror cannot be won.

Even as Monsieur Kerry spoke, his campaign put up a new television commercial in several battleground states accusing the president of "a failure of leadership," citing "mounting casualties, costing $200 billion and counting. Now they call it a 'catastrophic success.' They say they 'miscalculated.' And now they say the war on terror is unwinnable."

What the public appears to understand is that the president clearly meant that there will be no surrender ceremony on the deck of an American battleship or in a railway car in a German forest, that the war will be a twilight struggle in a thousand places where the forces of a malignant distortion of Islam take it.

*yawn* John Kerry's losing it...

You can win the war on terror like you can win the war on crime. Reduce it to the point where you can take a walk at night and not worry about being hurt.

The Democrats must be thinking "60-odd days before this endless nightmare of a campaign is over".

"...citing 'mounting casualties'"

The left said that we would have tens of thousands dead and millions of Iraqis killed. Even with padding the list (over one third) with people who died of heart attacks in Germany, forklift accidents in Kuwait, and non-combat vehicular accidents, drownings, electricutions, etc. they still have not hit their magic "1,000 dead" yet. The left is waiting for it, I saw a flyer pushing for a "prayer" rally on the Friday following #1,000. Our government doesn't account the deaths this way so it will be purely up to the left to decide when they want to protest.

Goebbels would be proud. The Big Lie is among the best of propaganda tools.
