'We are at war with islam.'

I concur.

[do the dhue]

I used to not think that we were at war with Islam because the Kurds and the Mujahadine helped us. So, I said there are good Muslim's. Now, I don't see the Kurds or Mujahadine as part of Islam. The Mujahdine split with the Taliban. The Taliban was part of Islam. I don't see the Kurds as part of Islam. Anyway, I may still be right about there being good Muslims. I heard Dick Morris say he would take one Musharrraf over ten France's. I don't know if that is a compliment to Musharraf or not, but I do believe he is helping us the best he can. He has had his life under attack, so I think he wants the same people dead that we do. But I think that Islam as Iran, the Saudis (the people), and Syrians see it, is at war with America and Israel.

[PghBaldy]

I distinctly remember Iran saying they had a bunch of Al Qaeda. They refused to extradite them, or let us question them. This was a few years ago. Lately, I recall hearing some of his sons are there. I think he is still a powerful symbol, but the fact Zarqawi (in Iraq) & Zarahiri have got more press in past few years says to me he's not as important operationally. I also think the Dems harping on his not being captured implies the danger in their reasoning: they see this as just about Al Qaeda, or Bin Laden. The terrorists disagree.

[PghBaldy]

I agree. Musharraf has helped as much as he could, without losing his life, or his power. I also theoretically believe there are "good" Muslims, but have trouble finding them. In polls I've seen, many if not most Muslims believe it is OK to target civilians, if the cause is just. My eyes were opened after 9/11 when US Muslims were repeatedly interviewed on TV. I don't recall any saying the Palestinians were wrong.

you said: he's not as important operationally

Maybe true that he is not important operationally, but he may be important operationally for the US.

Think about this: Bush lifts Bin Laden's head up over ground zero and shows his head to the world.

In the Demorats mind, the war would be over. You said: I also think the Dems harping on his not being captured implies the danger in their reasoning: they see this as just about Al Qaeda, or Bin Laden. The terrorists disagree.'

Our troops are killing Al Quada in Iraq. Simply put, we are killing terrorist on their turf. This is offense playing defense. The best defense is a strong offense.

BTW: the French have become more preemptive. They have now, preemptively surrendered.

[do the dhue]

I'm with you and I hear you, but we have had some Muslims in Iraq help us. We have found weapons and terrorist thanks to their cooperation. But we need to see more of cooperation. We need to see more of it on our own turf too.

His answer: get them the hell out of Dodge City and send the barbarians instead to a more welcoming excrement hole in Sudan where they don't have to dodge the UAVs and the locals (yet). This is clearly a retreat by the demoralized remnants of a much-diminished force in the face of massive battle casualties.

Exactly right - But you won't hear one second of this type of analysis by any on the MSM -

[p23185]

They just hate that.

And they just hate Bush and everything he stands for, just everything.

[nmh]

I think you got it just right!

The Great Used Diaper Head!

We really need to nuke these smelly freaks.

This is clearly a retreat by the demoralized remnants of a much-diminished force in the face of massive battle casualties.

The droids in the MSM can not afford to acknowledge that aspect of the message, because it flies in the face of their death-to-the-great-Satan-America-and-Bush group-think, but it is clear nevertheless...

BINGO.....we have a winner!

BUMP

In the meantime ... compromise is the word here.

We'll look for absurd excuses to embrace them and defend them. Never mind that some simply PRACTICE their BELIEFS with great diligence while others slum alittle when putting their SAME beliefs into practice.

[txrangerette]

How many, many Iraqis died fighting on the same side as are we, blown up by the same people who blew up our three? But then, so what? We'll just ignore that and pretend it has nothing to do with the point.

[nickcarraway]

Probably, the U.S. Iran might actually be willing to stand up for itself.

[Blowtorch]

I thought he was going to thank us for leaving the border wide open.

You mean thank Bush?! Can you imagine the firestorm if Bin Laden were to say such a thing? Already riled conservatives would be setting their hair or britches on fire, and Bush's popularity would drop below 30%.

OH NO! Whatever shall we do???

Did he tell us to "Vote for Hillary" Yet?

Would anybody be surprised if he did??

Freepers LS & Jeff Head have just released a book!

I've not read his other books (yet); but here is Front Page Magazines interview:

>>>> Also, may I ask, why do colleges welcome people like Sami al-Arian, and Yale's Hashemi?

Oh now this I could HIJACK the whole thread on!

One piece of interesting reading you may like is our freeper, StillProud2befree's interview with a Muslim university professor here in the states! (yes, I read her books too!)

Now, HOW are these illegals coming to the USA? NGO GRANT MONIES! The NGOs are what I call 'white collar' coyotes. Do you have a university hospital near you? Are a large number of the staff non American born? See if you can find out what NGO grant monies they receive! How about a university? Is a large number of the staff non American born? See what NGO monies they receive!

What does that mean? I covered some of that in this thread:

How do you say No NAIS in Japanese?

In essence, they are not employeed; but rather owned.

[Calpernia]

Sorry, ignoring that response. That will hijack the thread and get it moved to the smokey backroom.

Where were you on September 13th, 2001? Go check that date out, oh, wise man of the stars.

And stray not from the path ... of this sub-discussion, that is. Which thou hast!

Which is to point up: the USA would not degrade to the level of lawlessness and civic chaos should we be attacked, for if anything since the days in the 1600's and 1700's when earnest men and women hit our shores -- in all the years and in-migrations that followed, those immigrants, even when destitute and some initially, well, feral and violent -- have been tamed to the spirit that is America, and that spirit is one that loves order and law.

And such circumstance is well-proved again and again in our history.
