Islamofascism, not warming, the enemy
By: BOB KOWELL - Commentary
Recently, Al Gore stated that the Iraq war was "the worst strategic mistake in the entire history of the United States" and "worse than a civil war."
These statements suggest that our Civil War was also a strategic blunder. Do his statements mean that freeing Southern black slaves was wrong and that trying to free the people of Iraq from a tyrant was wrong, as well?
Iraq was more of a threat to world peace than the Southern states. Even though the South attacked Fort Sumter first, they thought the North would just fold and sign a peace treaty. This would have left blacks in the South in slavery.
Most, if not all, Muslim countries harbor one brand of terrorists or another. They all, however, have one objective that both liberals and conservatives in America can agree upon: These terrorists want to destroy Western civilization.
In Iraq, Saddam Hussein hid terrorists in his country and, at a minimum, had all the precursor chemicals in stock to make chemical and biological weapons needed to kill millions of people. Most likely, his weapons were moved to Syria, as former Iraqi General Georges Sada wrote in his book, "Saddam's Secrets."
Gore is not thinking right in his statements. He's letting his anger over losing the 2000 election speak on his behalf; he has no vision or fortitude; he has spent too many days basking in the hot "global warming" sun and/or he is outrageously delusional.
If Gore had been elected president in 2000, we probably would not have fought in Afghanistan. We'd be running from our most significant problem, instead of facing it.
His issue of global warming is speculation; oil will be depleted before it could, if it ever was going to be, become a significant problem. For all of you who didn't know, we will be moving to alternative energy under the Republicans' energy plan passed a few years ago.
We can't just keep appeasing bullies and finding new programs that prop up our false talking points that keep us from facing the No. 1 enemy of humanity. That enemy is now referred to as "Islamofascism." We must face it fully as we did against the European fascists 65 years ago.
Appeasement will not work against these people. If we do not face them, we will be dead in the not-too-distant future, or we'll wish we were dead when we are forced to convert to a religion that is not of our choosing.
All this will happen much sooner than any global warming scenario. All our resources should be turned into our preparation to meet this challenge. If not, we don't have to worry about global warming, the border issue, roads, the gravel pit in Temecula, or anything else.
We are cooked if we don't answer the call. President Bush will be found right on Iraq as Lincoln was found right on the Civil War. We need to get it right, as well.

The Democrats have been on the WRONG side of every US security issue since at least 1860.
I disagree with the author's premise that the War of Northern Aggression was fought over slavery.
Yea, and it really sucks having to share drinking fountains with darkies too, right?
I keep trying (and have been trying for a long time) to tell my friends and relatives this, but do they listen or believe? No. They prefer their heads in the sand or other places.
The other enemy (or enemedia as I recently read someplace) is the left or Dims or Dhims, etc.
They just don't get it.
I guess it will take an Islamofascist nuke on NYC or DC to wake them up. That will be rather late.
If the Islamos (Islameo's) nuke us in 08 or 09 and the Dims are in power, will they do anything except talk? Don't count on it.
Any thoughts on who will receive a moslem nuke (or bio or chem attack) first? Moscow, NYC or Israel?
Definitely NYC, DC or a city in Texas if Bush is still POTUS
No that part is quite fine for me considering I have black relatives. But it DOES SUCK having to share a board with people that are ignorant of their own history. Read up on the Emancipation Proclamation and find out how many American Slaves it freed.
