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.

"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!

A "sudden cessation of ignorance" for the Palies. Their crushing is a done deal - it's only a "when', not an "if."

"the United States sustained about 100 casualties in three weeks of fighting that resulted in the capture of Baghdad and most Iraqi cities"

"Israeli defense officials and military commanders have expressed amazement over the capture of one of the largest and most powerful Arab countries by what they say amounted to fewer than three U.S. Army divisions."

"This has been a very strange and unprecedented war and it will take us awhile to learn what took place"

It has been years since any Arab state in the Middle East took the U.S. seriously...Across the Arab world the United States' defeat of Iraq was devastating. It was demoralizing. It burst the bubble they had been living under for generations....things are different today for the Palestinians on the ground. Now, they have to take the United States -- and by extension Israel, much more seriously....The other despots and tyrants in the region are quaking. Their regimes are afraid

Last time this happened, a President by the name of Reagan called Quadiffi to the woodshed. Terrorism took a backseat until a weak leader , Clintoon reignited the trash fire of middle east terrorism through his whimpy politics.

Excellent post.

No other Arab ruler was as supportive of the Palestinian struggle as was Saddam Hussein. Almost everyone on the Palestinian street harbored the hope that the great military of Saddam --

Hey Palestine .. here is a hint

Saddam used you for his own purpose and never gave a crap about you ... think about it .. he paid you to blow YOURSELVES up
