The only way we will win decisively and permanently is if the leaders of the western world rid themselves of the disease of political correctness and do what has to be done.


Amen brother.

Message to NY Times: go to hell. We're rallying around the Prime Minister, not ready to tear him down. You don't understand us any better than Al Qaeda does.

Regards, Ivan

Tell me something, when was the last time you lived amongst the Muslim people(like in their country)? Have you ever studied their ideology?

I have read the Koran. My son is studying Iraqi Arabic. He is 15 and wants to join the military. I fear for his safety on this path but I am very proud of him, and I ask him many questions...I may not be as educated as you in Islam, but I'm not ignorant.
I don't need to be a drug addict to know it's not a good thing.

I've done both. I don't consider myself an "expert" on Islam, but I can tell you that we are dealing with a highly educated and idealogic group of people her that have vowed to conquer the free world.

Oh please. The zealots blowing themselves up are not highly educated. Most people sacrificing themselves for Allah are poor stupid fools.

They won't be successful, but I can assure you that they are not only willing to die trying, but also that they will sacrifice every ounce of blood and energy that they have trying.

I agree.

Good to know that we're still batting a thousand. You and I have never agreed on anything.

I am honored that you remember me. I don't recall writing to you but you are a Freeper...I am sure we agree that...
abortion is wrong,
Roe V Wade should be overturned,
pedophiles should receive harsher sentences,
The 2nd Amendment is a right that our government should NOT infringe upon,
taxes are too high and our government is not frugal with our tax dollars,
Affirmative Action has long since outlived it's usefullness...if it ever had any,
our military is Number 1,
Free Republic rocks!

I'm hope we could find many point of agreement conshack. Have a nice day.

"We're rallying around the Prime Minister, not ready to tear him down."

I hope you are right. If your nation abandons us, the terrorist will have achieved a great victory with this bombing. If the British people stand tall in the face of evil, the world will owe them a great debt.

We are at a crossroad. We will learn a lot about our people, leaders and our future. I hope we will choose the right path.

Your friend,

Holtz

As was said yesterday in the British parliament (about Galloway):

"You dip your poisonous tongue into a pool of blood"

Just a quick clarification. The G8 meeting is not in or anywhere near to London as a couple of people here seem to think, it's way up in some rather inaccessible part of Scotland, presumably to make it harder for the protestors to get there.

Gaaack!!! Where is the barf alert? Stupid idiot liberals. When are they going to get it? I'm wondering how many dead it will take for them to get the message? Apparently all the people killed in the previous Terror attacks around the world, and 9/11 are not enough dead. Is it going to take 10,000 dead. 100,000? Is Al Qeuda going to get to wipe out an entire city before liberals wake up and stop encouraging them?

Islamofacists want nothing less than the death of Western Civilization. That's their goal. I'm way beyond fed up with liberals missing the point, and causing trouble for our troops and our side in the WOT, by providing propaganda for our enemies and exaggerating and lying .

Message to liberals:
If you hate this nation so much- GET TF OUT, or STFU!

Liberalism is a parasite which drains its host nation of the will to defend itself, and if not removed-will completely destroy the nation's will to survive.

We will not win until after the publisher of the New York Times dies of old age along with his wacky sister.

What a great cartoon. A timely reminder of how liberals help terrorists. Maybe we need to hear Dick Durbin's "speech" again. How about traitor Ted Kennedy's remarks too. I heard some of the radio hosts talking about what's been said regarding the WOT, by these moron's, but I'd rather hear them straight from the horses er.. in this case... jackasse's mouth.

How about a montage that goes back to just just a few minutes after 9/11 through til today, and replays all the outrageous, idiotic, stupid, and occasionally treasonous, remarks made by members of the jackass party?- People should be reminded of why they voted for Republican's in overwhelming numbers. The differences between the two parties are profound.

I didn't see the first few minutes of the O'R show, so I don't know if he cut his vacation short. He said he was having breakfast in an Irish restaurant when he heard the news of the bombings.

Whether he caught the first plane home or not, I don't know. But his show didn't look taped.

I suppose we'll find out tonight. Maybe someone else knows.

I think news like the London bombings would activate the inate news instincts in guys like Bill, and they fly back to the states like homing pigeons, vacation or no.

Clinton maintained the no fly zones and bombed the hell out of Iraq when politically neces

And what did he bomb? What were the targets? He had our air force drop them.. but where in the Arab press were the pictures of the Iraqi military or military installations destroyed by those bombs. Where is the record of the destruction caused by Clinton's bombing in Iraq?

Dropping bombs in the middle of an empty desert with no dammage or casualties is not my idea of bombing the hell out of Iraq.

Clinton's bombing did less damage to Iraq than our testing the first atomic bomb in Nevada in 1945.

Now when the twin of that bomb was dropped on Japan it had a terrible effect.

The question is not did Clinton bomb... but what did he bomb.....

Got a call from Kristinn. The New York Times original title for this article was:

"4 Blasts Suck the Air Right Out of Blair the Statesman's Balloon"

They later changed it to:

"Blair's Rising Star Runs Into a Treacherous Future"

Google still has the original title on their news site:

Thank you for pointing this out. I missed it; it's on an inside page of the print edition. The headline (in the Washington Final edition) reads "4 Blasts, and Blair's Rising Star Runs Into a Treacherous Future".

The reference to Galloway reminds me that we can add one more to the already long list of leftist euphemisms, that is "maverick" = traitor.

He (O'Reilly) indeed did cut his trip to Ireland short and caught a plane right back so he could be back on his show. He said so at one point in his show. You can't take the news out of a newshound.
