Upside-Down Politics in the Middle East(Victor Davis Hanson)
Real Clear Politics ^ | July 12, 2007 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 07/12/2007 5:23:53 AM PDT by kellynla

Jimmy Carter - a self-proclaimed champion of human rights and nonviolence - has called the U.S.'s unwillingness to accept the 2006 Palestinian election of the terrorists of Hamas "criminal."

But unlike Carter, Egyptian reformer Sa'd Al-Din Ibrahim - no friend of the United States - thinks members of Hamas are real criminals.

In an article on the terrorist organization's recent takeover of Gaza, Ibrahim wrote, "The Hamas fighters behaved in a barbaric, bloody manner, while repeatedly (shouting) 'Allahu Akbar' and religious prayers. . . . The victors executed a number of Fatah leaders and fighters, shooting them or throwing them from the roofs of buildings, with no trial - not even a mock trial."

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm sick of dealing with these muzzies. Time to nuke 'em back to the stone-age and get on with the rest of our lives.

I've seen enough dead Marines to last me a lifetime.

Semper Fi, Kelly

If Hamas is still around, they will send an honor guard to JC’s funeral.

It is not new. Liberals, not being firmly committed to any time abiding convictions about the nature of good and evil, have always had the luxury of thumbing their nose at logic and challenging establishment (read: Conservative) efforts to maintain order here and abroad and to secure the future for freedom everywhere. Consequently, they are always able to pass themselves off as the most tolerant and caring of all political types. However: “Liberalism is nothing more than the ideological disguise of the will to power of some groups who could not themselves be less Liberal.”

Remember, these are the good terrorists.

While a Brigadier usually suffices to command PI, we have a Marine LtGen training the palestinians.

And still, they opted not to fight. And we're sending more money.

They know how to play us politically

Don’t think the Marines see it that way.

"...So where do we start? Islam by country..."

Hmmm - tough call. OK, let's start with Iran, and then do mecca and medina.

If they haven't decided to stop this 'Terrorist-Caliphate' business after that, then we can re-start alphabetically. We gots lotsa bombs.

Actually, we should have already started with Waziristan, both North and South. The vermin that live there should have been exterminated centuries ago ................... FRegards
