Thank you George Bush and your team!

Oh gee, the Arab world is finally starting to figure out that the fun and kidding around is pretty much over. Those dumb bastards kicked the hornets' nest and now they're dealing with the results.

Thank God it's only a matter of time. The Palestinians cannot be allowed to continue terrorist activities indefinitely.

After Clinton, the Al-Qaida said that when attacked, the US will just try to "sue someone."

I don't think they're saying that any more.

I suspect the Isreali government is a bit concerned too. It will be hard to thwart Bush if he is determined about the "road map." I suspect their will be lots of acrimonious threads about that, with old alliances on this issue somewhat frayed. We shall see whether Bush is serious, or was just playing lip service to Blair in Blair's hour of need. What is my opinion? I am cross conflicted aka ambivalent.

Yes, rhymes with Newsweek.

"the United States' defeat of Iraq was devastating. It was demoralizing"

For the United States, it was about like swatting a fly or perhaps exterminating a rat.

The Americans hardly touched their ordnance. Their strategy was brilliant, their armed forces extremely disciplined and well trained.

"Bush, they were convinced, was to learn the lesson of humility at the hands of an Arab who knows how to teach humility."

Instead it was exactly the reverse.

These people made the mistake of believing the Leftist ("Liberal") propaganda of America and Europe, and they allowed themselves to be misled by the existence of the Clinton presidency.

They therefore vastly underestimated George W. Bush.

As a matter of brilliant strategy, he encouraged them to underestimate him.

Anyone who is not deluded will realize that George W. Bush is a great, brilliant, visionary leader and one of the most courageous leaders in history. He is also a man of impeccable integrity.

The forces of evil in the world have been confronted and will be disarmed!

This operation employed a mere fraction of the U.S. military capability. Evil-doers of the world, be forewarned!

LOL. Don't you know these jackasses would like to get their hands on Osama-mama for waking the sleeping giant on 9-11?

The Arab street was under an illusion. They thought that they could combat and destroy the United States and Israel. They actually believed that the Arab states had the weapons the training and the power to defeat an invading army from the United States. And not just because Allah was with them.

An illusion fostered upon them by the wonderful Clinton administration. For eight years, terrorists grew increasingly defiant because Clinton was never serious about stopping them.
