The NYT and their leftist constituency doesn't have the guts to tackle evil head on or to see it through. To hell with them.

Thousands of FReepers like me are right behind you Jim. We got your back.

If Kerry wins, the Jihadis win. It's that simple, they know it and we know it. If Kerry wins he will have to placate the Deaniacs and will withdraw. The withdrawl without victory will be as much of an illusion as the last withdrawl Kerry organized was: USA from South Vietnam. Within a few years the Communists had achieved total victory and the killing fields began.

So it will be in Iraq. The insurgents may even, smartly, calm down after the war to make it easier for Kerry to leave sooner. Sure let the elections happen, let someone pretend to rule, get the USA back on their side of the pond with the the Kerry-Soros team in charge and then take over the whole thing.

Just the tactics the North used in Vietnam.

When I read the authors' credits at the end of the article, and realized that one of them was a "counter-terrorism expert" during the Clinton regime. That description, in itself, is quite a contradiction. Did anyone know Clintoon had counter-terrorism experts on his staff? Who would have known? There was certainly no indication.

You noticed that, too? It would seem that the designation "counter-terrorism expert in the Clinton administration" would be grounds for immediate issuance of a certificate of discredit.

One might even conclude that they are in alliance with evil, boss.

Hint to the author of this screed, at the Slimes - don't invest in real estate in Falujah in the near future.

Second hint - spend lots of time there, real soon, assessing your future investment options. ;)

The writers of this article have a point to share with us. We are at war with muslim terrorists. Duh we get it. But there are some aspects some of us don't get. So I will elaborate.

Recall we had to drop nukes on Japan to get their attention? But then did you notice we didn't have to drop nukes on Germany to get their attention? Why? I guess the Germans figured it out all own their own.

SA needs a wake up call. Everyone knows SA funds terrorism. Hello, fifteen of the nineteen who attacked us on 911 were from SA. At the same time, everyone knows SA provides oil for the world's economy which also happens to keep America moving. So it's hands off SA at this juncture regardless how many of us they kill. This must be amended.

We should demand President Bush or whoever is President to advise the SA's that the next time America is attacked by their seed, Mecca for starters is toast...

Until I hear these words uttered by our Commander in Chief, I'll have no confidence in him/her no matter who they are or what they say regarding the war on terror. I want SA to pay for what they did to us on 911. And I want them to be reminded over and over that we know what they did be it directly and indirectly regarding 911.

To date, and from all the rhetoric I can gather, neither Bush nor Kerry has the balls to stand up to SA...I guess it's the economy stupid! Too bad America, we lose either way...since it's apparent neither candidate is willing to challenge must less point the finger at SA...where SA just happens to be the capital of Islam...you all realize Mecca is in SA right?

So folks ask yourself, if extremist Catholics were terrorizing the world as extremist Muslims are today, where should we look? Should we give Rome (the capital of Catholism) a look? Or should we merely ignore Rome and go to say New England where there is a large gathering of Catholics? Surely you can get the picture can't you?

I get it. Can I be alone? Is it just me out here all alone?
Am I wrong?

PS If you want to kill the serpent you must smash the head of the serpent in order to kill it as opposed to chopping off it's tail which does nothing more than P it off. Such as the internet chatter this article alludes to.
