The Gathering Storm, circa 2002
S. Jacobs 30 Mars 2002
A fitting glove for the UN's appeasers, apologists, and anti-Semites:
"War Solves Nothing" --Neville Chamberlain, prime minister of Great Britain
"You Cannot Win" --General Petain, decorated French general
"Ministers Can Iron This Out Without War" --Joachim von Ribbentrop, German foreign minister
A code for Israel:
"Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory there is no survival." --Winston Churchill, British statesman
To paraphrase George W. Bush, President of the United States, address to a joint session of Congress and the nation, September 20, 2001, 9:00 P.M. EDT:
"The State of Israel respects the people of the Palestinian governed territory but we condemn the Palestinian Authority. It is not only repressing its own people, it is threatening people everywhere by sponsoring and sheltering and supplying terrorists. By aiding and abetting murder, the Palestinian Authority is committing murder. And tonight the State of Israel makes the following demands on the Palestinian Authority: Deliver to Israeli authorities all of the leaders of Hamas, Hizbollah, Islamic Jihad, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, Palestine Liberation Front, Al Aqsa Brigades, Fatah Tanzim, and Force 17 who hide in your territory. Close immediately and permanently every terrorist training facility in your territory. And hand over every terrorist and every person and their support structure to appropriate authorities. Give Israel full access to terrorist training facilities, so we can make sure they are no longer operating. These demands are not open to negotiation or discussion. The Palestinian Authority must act and act immediately. They will hand over the terrorists or they will share in their fate."
The people only know that they exist;
The next best they love and praise
The next they fear;
And the next they revile.
When they do not command the peoples faith,
Some will lose faith in them,
And then they resort to oaths!
But of the best when their task is accomplished, their work done,
The people all remark, We have done it ourselves. --Lao-Tzu Chinese philosopher 6th century BC
War brings back peace.
I believe his name was Weygand. The French also tended to turn in Jews to the nazis.
What a track record! I read today that a synagogue was blown up in Marsielles. Hey...
that's sophistication... anti-semite style. So much more stylish to wear a black beret and support Islam.
Israel will do what has to be done.
Churchill's response to Parliament: "Some chicken! Some neck!"
History is repeating itself in the Middle East. Muslims like Arafat's uncle chose to follow the Nazis during WW II. Hitler lied all the time to everybody for simple political expediency. He lied because he knew Appeasers in the U.K. and in France wanted to believe his lies. He lied because he knew he could get away with lying. Now the Palestinians are dedicated to killing all Israelis and lying abuot it. Just like the Nazis believed the Jewish people were fit only for extermination.
Unfortunately, the actor Richard Burton had a very low opinion of Churchill. Nevertheless, Burton gives this particular sentence of Churchill's a very exciting delivery at the end of the TV movie also entitled The Gathering Storm.
Train soft, bleed easy
I disagree. Maybe our Leader and his advisers are being more subtle and roundabout. With "Nobel Peace Prize winner" Arafat in place, there's an enormous image problem with American intervention. Imagine what the French and Kofi Annan would do with it!
Now think of a world with Arafat exiled to some place where he can't mount a phony "peace offensive." The terrorists will quickly be revealed to the world as exactly what they are and Arafat won't be around to muddle the message and make it sound like he's pursuing peace. He's a total fraud and has been running this shell game as long as I can recall. His exile may be just the device that will free Bush really solve the problem once and for all.
And where might that be? Some place where CNN, MSNBC, Al-Jazzira, AFP, AP, UPI and the rest can't get to him? Where he is now comes closer than some Arab/Muslim country would ever be. There is one place that fits the bill though, the fires of hell.
It is incumbent upon the peopel of this country to let Congress know we want stong congressional support for this war. We do have a voice.
