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 Americas 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!

Awesome, just awesome. And a great day to do it too...on a Friday in the last August. It will be Monday before most people hear about it, if at all. Now, let's get to the judges!

True, because Powell isn't all that great at the "communicating" part.

It is nice to have SOME good news. There doesn't seem to be much these days. Now if he'd just appoint Tom Tancredo to whatever department is in charge of immigration these days...I know it won't happen but it's a nice thought.

Splendid posts! Are these linked to a website. I always felt there was a fine line between Islamists and Nazis. You've proved it. Do you have a website reference for more?

1973: Black September kidnapped two American diplomats from the US embassy in Saudi Arabia, demanding the release of Sirhan Sirhan. When Sirhan was not freed, Black September executed the diplomats.I find the choice of this particular name fascinating. Could you explain more about this group of slimeballs? I never heard of them before. Thanks in advance.

That is a good tagline, however, I feel there is much more to learn about the false religion. I am operating from the "know thy enemy" standpoint.

Thy enemy wipes himself with his bare left hand. (Sick but true... maybe this qualifies as too much information?)
