The terrorists must be destroyed.

Unfortunately, John F. Kerry will seek to negotiate with them, like he did in 1971 with our enemies.

progressive Muslims

What's that? Why must conservatives always try to appease the gods of political correctness and multiculturalism?

Excellent article. I just read it over at NRO. One question. The author talks abotu Russia reachign out to Israel for help. I hadn't heard of this. Anyone have any info? Could it be intelligence sharing. Implications are that Iran could soon face Russia NOT too happy witht he mullahs, and not willing to aid the Iranian nuclear effort.

A "progressive muslim" is one who would actually give Christians a choice to convert, or be killed.

The EU media launched the most extreme brainwash campaign ever, portraying the terrorists as victims and Putin as murder of children.

Wait until those al-qaida backed terrorists meet the 21st century version of Ivan the Terrible.

The world changed on 9/11/2001, the world started to realize Bush and America are right on 9/1/2004. Not to downplay the Russian tragedy but appeasement is the hand maiden of evil. Hopefully lessons were learned so those children did not die for the French ideal.

multiculturalism?

As our estemed governor would say, "Multiculturalism is divisive crap".

A "progressive muslim" is probably like a "progressive Catholic" - for abortion, for faggotry, for wymyn priests. There are a few of them, probably, living in Switzerland.

Alas, not just Kerry. There are some Clinton holdovers in the State Department that are of the same mind-set (and I use "mind" loosely here). See:

Putin likened demands by Washington that Moscow negotiate with the separatists in Chechnya -- where rebels are believed to have planned the school siege -- to the U.S. talking to the terrorists behind the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Source

Another article referenced in that thread also mentions that the people who told Putin that were "mid-level officials in the U.S. government." Note to President Bush: give these rascals the heave-ho. They sound like Madeline Half-bright proteges!

Problem is, they already met and defeated him in Afghanistan. I'm not so sure their military is any better than it was back then.

I've seen some articles posted on this--think it was yesterday. You might do a quick search using "Russia" and "Israel." If memory serves, Russia was quick to consult with Israel, and some were wondering if it might be because there were apparently Syrians among the Arab terrorists in the group.

Now that we have the Russian people on our side against the terrorists, we will have to modify our relationship with the Russian people or find ourselves on the opposite side of the fence again as we were(U.S.A.) with them when they were the 'Soviet Union" about Israel.

If the Israelis aren't afraid of the Russians anymore than they are of the U.S. "Manipulation Of The Super Powers by the Middle Eastern Partners" (article not written yet by anyone) It does no good for the terrorists to go after us (Russia/U.S.A.) On the other hand, if we're angry enough at both the Palestinians and the Israelis the Russians will nuke the Israelis and we can nuke Gaza. That way, the U.S. and Russia can become allies and put France in her place.

The situation is different today; the USSR is gone, Russia is back. The alliances have changed, too.

This is an unbelievable development that may leave the U.S., Britain, and Russia again as allies opposed (or obstructed) by Germany, France, and the former WW II occupied countries. Add Israel on our side and the Islamofascists on theirs. Interesting. I have no doubt who the winner of that exchange will be.
