How this can't happen now because there is so much at stake
And then Dennis DeConcini gets on blaming Bush and how Bush has to admit he made a mistake and made mistake dealing with this war in Iraq
Don't these Dems realize they are feeding right into the hands of these terrorists
Maybe, but my guess is they're to blinded by their lust for power and any inkling of bad new to bash pres. Bush they don't see it or see it and don't care.
"...[D]uring the past 20 years, suicide terrorism has been steadily rising because terrorists have learned that it pays. Suicide terrorists sought to compel American andFrench military forces to abandon Lebanon in 1983, Israeli forces to leave Lebanon in 1985, Israeli forces to quit the Gaza Strip and the West Bank in 1994 and 1995, the Sri Lankan government to create an independent Tamil state from 1990 on, and the Turkish government to grant autonomy to the Kurds in the late 1990s. Terrorist groups did not achieve their full objectives in all these cases. However, in all but the case of Turkey, the terrorist political cause made more gains after the resort to suicide operations than it had before. Leaders of terrorist groups have consistently credited suicide operations with contributing to these gains.These assessments are hardly unreasonable given the timing and circumstances of many of the concessions and given that other observers within the terrorists’ national community, neutral analysts, and target government leaders themselves often agreed that suicide operations accelerated or caused the concession. This pattern of making concessions to suicide terrorist organizations over the past two decades has probably encouraged terrorist groups to pursue even more ambitious suicide campaigns."

They certainly realize that. Changing taglines again.
Yes.
If it can parlay them back into a position of power, they don't give a rip.
Re #71:
" Don't these Dems realize they are feeding right into the hands of these terrorists?"
Oh; you mean sort of like they - especially the likes of Hanoi John Kerry - enthusiasticly played into the hands of "Uncle" Ho Chi Minh and his communist/terrorist friends over 30 years ago?
Interesting how history repeats itself... especially if you make sure that the government monopoly manditory union-controlled schrools don't teach it, or "revise" it conveniently before they do.
Doesn't seem to matter if the terrorists are ideological or religious fanatics; as long as they terrorize and kill to ultimately destroy America and all that it has stood for since 1775, the Left seems to just love 'em, don't they?
Am i "questioning the patriotism" of some of our very own leftist media propagandists, academians and politicians here?
Well... i guess I am, now that you mention it...
You?
