Bad News for Islamists: Bush Makes
Recess Appointment of Daniel Pipes to USIP

By Andrew L. Jaffee, August 22, 2003

The White House announced today that:

The President has signed the recess appointment of Daniel Pipes of Pennsylvania to be a Member of the Board of Directors of the United States Institute of Peace. The President nominated Mr. Pipes on April 2, 2003.

By signing appointments during a congressional recess, an American president can avoid the Senate's confirmation process.

Senators Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.) and Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), and their Islamist friends, CAIR - The Council on American Islamic Relations and the AMC - American Muslim Council, will be very unhappy.

President Bush's nomination of Daniel Pipes to the U.S. Institute of Peace (USIP) enraged many Islamists and their left-wing allies. They claim Pipes is a "bigot". Why?

Pipes is one of America’s foremost authorities on the Middle East. He tried to warn the civilized world about the threat posed by Muslim extremism long before 9/11. He's a good man who's just concerned about preserving values like freedom, democracy, and free enterprise. Does this make him a bigot? I think not.

I congratulate Dr. Pipes on his appointment. He will make a difference. He already is making a difference.

I congratulate President Bush for having the guts to stand up to the Islamists and the misguided legions of the politically correct. Score one for the free world!

Interestingly, a Marine sergeant present at the embassy that fateful day in November 1979 agrees with this assessment. As the militant Islamic mob invaded the embassy, Rodney V. Sickmann followed orders and protected neither himself nor the embassy. As a result, he was taken hostage and lived to tell the tale. (He now works for Anheuser-Busch.)

In retrospect, he believes that passivity was a mistake. The Marines should have done their assigned duty, even if it cost their lives. "Had we opened fire on them, maybe we would only have lasted an hour." But had they done that, they "could have changed history."

Standing their ground would have sent a powerful signal that the United States of America cannot be attacked with impunity. In contrast, the embassy's surrender sent the opposite signal - that it's open season on Americans. "If you look back, it started in 1979; it's just escalated," Sickmann correctly concludes.

Amin Al Husseini seen inspecting his Hanzar Division made up exclusively of Muslims, mostly from the Crotia/Bosnia/Serbia region. They actively lead the genocide against Serbs, Serbian Jews and Gypsies.

Amin Al Husseini meets with Adolf Hitler in November 1942, weeks before the decision to implement the Final Solution which sent Europe's Jews to the gas chamber. The Third Reich provided Amin Al Husseini with a salary and appointed him Head of the Hanzar SS Division. The Hanzar Division was made of Nazi Muslims and implemented the genocide of 250,000 Serbs, Gypsies and Jews during WWII.

Amin Al Husseini shown here on a Nazi poster recruiting fellow Muslims to join Hitler in the fight against the West and the Jews. His disciples today include Yasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein and the leaders of Hamas, Al Qeida and Islamic Jihad.

Amin Al Husseini, future President of the World Islamic Congress (1961) and founding father of the Arab League (1944) inspects his Muslim Nazi troops, the Hanzar Division. Amin Al Husseini making the traditional nazi salute.

Yasser Arafat became a disciple of Amin Al Husseini since the age of 17. Here: recent picture of Palestinian soldiers under the leadership of Arafat making the traditional Nazi salute.

Excellent news. I am glad Bush is not letting the Dems and the PC crowd keep him from doing the right thing.

I think he will eventually, but is hoping Congress can fix things. He may wait until election season before acting.

Someone noted that a Freeper has a tagline that reads "I learned all I need to know about Islam on 9/11"

SO WHAT?

Don't get me wrong. I love Daniel Pipes, but...

Who gives a damn about the utterly insignificant "Institute for Peace"??? How about a recess appointment--OR FIFTY--of some of Bush's judicial appointments which are being illegals blocked by the Democrats in the Senate? It has been a freaking year already! When are the President or Bill Frist planning to show some backbone on THAT?

Excellent points,which leads to the obvious conclusion that the ragheads in charge of weapons and media in the Middle East see the West as Crusaders, and have basically propagandized their populations to believe that any Western presence in their "Lands" is intolerable.

Eventually the West will realize it is necessary to launch the final Crusade.

Islam is incompatible with the 21st Century.

Making those senators and especially CAIR unhappy by conducting a recess appointment of Daniel Pipes makes me VERY happy. Wonderful news!

Note to President Bush: See how easy that was? Now do it for Estrada and the others. We'll support you wholeheartedly.
