There we are again. The Administration and the mainstream media (both Left and Right) take it as axiomatic that the jihad we see all over the world today represents a perversion of Islam

Here we are again, is right.

If by spouting this pap Bush can divert the miserable Dems from their Bush/US-hating rhetoric, and keeps the Islamofascists from having another "This Crusade..." soundbite to piss off their lunatic head-smacking mobsters, he's doing exactly the right thing.

These writers don't seem to understand that the rhetoric they want will achieve NOTHING of value--nothing.

You are such a lost soul. You run around ascribing the most convoluted reasons for why some mythical "Bush" person is doing all sorts of brilliant things that no one can see or hear, and that often are directly opposite to what he does say and do.

He's not "spouting pap" for some "super duper, double dog" secret genius reason. He spouts pap because he's a liar, a traitor, and, like his old man, a cynical manipulator. Pap is the only thing he says.

People like you made other, much more extreme administrations in history possible (think of the European theater)

“If by spouting this pap Bush can divert the miserable Dems from their Bush/US-hating rhetoric, and keeps the Islamofascists from having another “This Crusade...” soundbite to piss off their lunatic head-smacking mobsters, he’s doing exactly the right thing.”

Well, at least you imply GWB is lying, by calling it pap.

Since nothing short of a Bush/Cheney resignation would appease the Rats, & EVERYBODY knows that; it is clear GWB’s “islam is swell” comments were not made to “divert” the Rats.

And saying kind, if fictitious, words about the enemy has never been a winning strategy, nor will it appease the terrorists & their sympathizers. Our enemy already has motivation to attack us, & GWB's words only encourage them.

So, how can he be “doing exactly the right thing”? Sounds like you thing GWB can do no wrong, even in spouting pap?

The President should speak the truth, even if it is painful to some. His words are believed by many, enemy & friend.

Either he is lying about islam, or he is as blind as Nevell Chamberlain.

As Islamists acquire sophisticated weapons, they become more dangerous to us, not less. Thus, it is in our interest to provoke them into dropping the veil of dishonesty as soon as possible. Keeping them mollified so that we can knock off the radicals while they are mass producing more in their madrassas is a very hazardous strategy, especially when we are borrowing money to do it.

Sometimes you just have to suck it up and call things as they are. Bush didn't have the guts to do it. Doing so would not only have exposed Islam for what it is, it would have similarly brought out the left when we were in a better position to deal with that mortal threat as well, a threat that is growing by similar mechanics.
