America and Israel are going to lose the war in Lebanon, and the American Left will have a lot to answer for.
The United States and Israel and every sentient being in the path of the Islamist crusade are teetering on the brink of a massive defeat in Lebanon and thus in the war on terror. Lest it be forgotten, this is a war that began with the Ayatollahs’ revolution in Iran in 1979 which established the first radical Islamic state whose masters’ war cry was “Death to America” and the establishment of a global Islamic empire. Nearly thirty years later, Iran is on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons and its imperial war is now being waged on Iran’s Lebanese frontier by its Hezbollah proxy. One month into the fighting which began with the attacks by Hamas and Hezbollah on the state of Israel, the scenario for the West’s defeat in this phase of the war is quite obvious and quite simple.
The appeasers of Islamofascism, who have been calling for a ceasefire and bewailing “civilian casualties” in Lebanon and Gaza, will succeed. Hezbollah will agree to turn over its arms to the pro-Hezbollah Lebanese army. The pro-Hezbollah UN will establish a security zone on Lebanon’s southern border to keep the area clear of non-government militias, of which the Hezbollah “militia” is the only one. The credulous in the Western camp will greet this as a victory for the peacemakers. But exactly the opposite will be the case.
According to a recent poll in Lebanon eighty percent of the Lebanese Arabs support Hezbollah. In other words, just as Hamas, which was created by the same Muslim Brotherhood that spawned al-Qaeda, is now the Palestinian government, so Hezbollah will emerge as the government of Lebanon. The Lebanese army will become the new Hezbollah “militia.” Only it won’t be a militia. It will be the terrorist army of a sovereign power, with the right to openly negotiate its arms deals with Syria and Iran. The next battle with Iran, in other words, will be World War III.
In fact, the next battleground in the spread of Shi’ia fascism is already in progress and aflame. It is Iraq, where Iran’s Shi’ia armies are already in the field under the command of the sheik of Sadr City, the America-hating cleric Moqtadar al-Sadr. Al-Sadr, it should be noted, is alive and in the field because the appeasers in this country, beginning with the Democratic Party but extending into the Bush State Department, stymied the first battle of Fallujah when al-Sadr was trapped and could have been killed and his militia destroyed. The Bush administration had to delay the attack until after Kerry’s defeat in the November 2004 elections in order to avoid the political complications that would have attended the battle in the midst of an election campaign.
But the first battle of Fallujah is only one of many defeats inflicted by the appeasers and abettors of Islamic imperialism in the West. The aid to the enemy within the Western camp has taken many forms, beginning with the hysterical and reckless attacks on the commander-in-chief of America’s forces as a liar and murderer, and the source of the terror that the Islamists create. Are there terrorists in Iraq? There were none there before George Bush created them. Is Hezbollah a Nazi army? It’s because the Jews “occupied” Palestinian lands. Of course, this is two lies in one. All Israeli “occupation” is the product of four aggressive Arab wars against Israel. When Israel withdraws – as in Lebanon – it is attacked. The source of the terror in Lebanon, as in Iraq, is to be found in the Koran and in the despotisms of the Arab Middle East. But the appeasement camp cannot face the reality that its enemy is implacable and its hatred uncaused by anything its targets – Jews, Christians, “infidels” – have done.
The division of America is the greatest threat to our ability to prevail in the War on Terror – and the Left knows this and is incited by it. America is not divided enough for the American Left, which is now in full purge mode in Connecticut, where it is attempting to bring down the one statesman in the Democratic Party who might re-unite this country in the face of its enemies.
Those who in the midst of these wars clamor for ceasefires with an implacable foe, those who call for withdrawals that would leave sovereign states in the hands of the terrorist forces, those who decry civilian casualties caused by the only forces in this war who do not target civilians, those Blame-America-Firsters who exploit the Abu Ghraibs on our side and not their atrocities, those whose hysterical fear of the conflict we face takes the form of pathological denial and projects the rabid hatred of the enemy for us onto our own commander in the war, are destined to have a lot to answer for before this conflict is over.
I disagree, start killing lots of Iranians will tie the Iranian population closer to the present government.
All Iran will do is disperse her forces amongst the civilian population, in the end we will be killing more civilians than military
In the end we will be forced to mount a costly land invasion.
With Iran time is on our side, unless she lets the Chinese rescue her then what will the Chinese want in return.
She is ready to implode, she has massive unemployment vasts amounts of her treasury are being used to buy her street thugs.
If we take away her nuclear option we have all the time in the world
I listen to the news the past week and I have concluded that we - the West - continue to attempt to thwart the terrorists by the same old means - UN resolutions, call for cease fires, sending in the U.S. SoS. It is not working. It has never worked. Maybe if we upped the ante - told the Iranians and Syrians what is coming. Send in a couple carrier groups and continually run sorites. After each day, broadcast to the people - overthrow your government and the bombings will cease. I do realize that in order to do the above, the political will must be there. It is not and I do not think it will be for some time to come. I like President Bush but I think he failed early on by not defining the enemy. This administration allowed the media and their enemies to define the WOT. Too many people in this country has blinders on and refuse to name the enemy.
I read recently that Allied bombing and shelling killed approximately 10,000 French civilians during the D-Day invasion operation. AFAIK no one was protesting Ike's decision to invade occupied France on humanitarian grounds, not even the French civilians. They had learned from 4 years of Nazi occupation that there are circumstances that can make living worse than death. I for one would rather die right here and now than to live under an Islamic dictatorship that enforces Sharia law.
Bosnia, Kosovo?
Nice daydream. A UN controlled buffer force? HAHAHAHAHAHA!
The UN is pro Hezbollah. What you would see from a UN controlled security force would be the same as we have seen over the years with UN observers enforcing resolution 1559, who somehow didn't notice iran's militita setting up and stockpiling rocket launchers throughout southern lebanon.
It's plain to see that the UN not only FAILED to implement UN resolution 1559, they purposely looked the other way and allowed Hezbollah to establish and strenghten their presence in Lebanon after the Israeli pull out. During that time, they also cleanzed even more Christians out of Lebanon, on top of the 20,000 they massacured in the 70's, with the aproval of the democrat party under Carter.
I have to agree with you. At first, I really thought there was a chance that Iraq could become the "democratic model" of the middle east. I got excited about the blue finger movement.
Now, it's morphed into Al-Sistani taking sides with Hezbollah. Despite the U.S. liberating their country from Saddam, despite the loss of life American military people have sacrificed, despite everything we are doing to build up their infrastructure, they could never support the U.S. and Israel in an armed conflict with Islamists.
They just will never go against what they have always been taught. Zionists and Americans are Dhimmi - no matter what.
The missiles will be fired into Israel from the UN "security Zone". When Israel responds, they will be killing UN "peace keepers".
Get a grip, either we fight and kill every Islamofacists or we die trying.
More appeasement policies for the terrorist just makes them stronger.
BUMP
He's right.
What's the point of having a trillion dollar military without the will to use it?
No, what he said was: "America and Israel are going to lose the war in Lebanon,..."
Rush also refers to the events in Lebanon in terms of "us" and "we".
This amazes me too..sometimes I think people will not be convinced that a war is in progress until someone with a Moe haircut and small mustache stands up and declares such...otherwise it can't be so....
It would divert our resources from our mission in Iraq.
During the Vietnam war we poured huge amounts of ordnance onto North Vietnam it did not halt the flood of supplies, it did not enact regime change in North Vietnam.
We need to concentrate on Iraq not widen the war to include Iran.
We must keep doing what we are doing, holding the line while building up the Iraqi security forces.
Not really he merely recognizes the political realities of Conn. and the fact that Liebermann is about the only sane voice in the Party of Treason wrt National Security.
Media never shows how Palistinian children are educated from birth to HATE, how schools in other Islamic countries are run, their books full of HATE towards Jews, Christians, the "infidel". The Koran is a declaration of war to all non- Muslims, and the hadith, the life of Mohammad is the way to follow, murdering, raping, pillaging, lying all the way to victory, or the last day, which ever comes first.
We respect life, Muslims long for death. We won't win until we come to realize what islam is, and fulfill their wishes to die.
Maybe it was on this thread (D-Day Collateral Damage) I started last week?
ML/NJ
Admittedly, it's early Monday morning, but my reading tells me that he got all the way through the comment above AND an article about political divisions in America without mentioning Jimmy Carter once.
You'd have to work pretty hard to pull that off.
Wrong. it did have drastic effect. The war was won until the Democrats suceeded in chopping funding for the war. That in turn made the retreating NVA turn around and invade the south. John Kerry caused more deaths in vietnam and Cambodia than the entire war did.
