For six years, the Bush administration has kept America safe from another terrorist attack, allowing the Democrats to claim that the war on terrorism is a fraud, a "bumper sticker," a sneaky ploy by a power-mad president to create an apocryphal enemy so he could spy on innocent librarians in Wisconsin. And that's the view of the moderate Democrats. The rest of them think Bush was behind the 9/11 attacks.
But now with the U.S. government as well as the British and German governments warning of major terrorist attacks this summer, the Treason Lobby is facing the possibility that the "bumper sticker" could blow up in their faces.
The Democrats' entire national security calculus is based on the premise that "we have no important enemies," as stated by former Sen. Mike Gravel. He's one of the Democratic presidential candidates who doesn't know he's supposed to lie when speaking to the American people.
Ironically, the Democrats' ability to sneer at President Bush hinges on Bush's successful prosecution of the war on terrorism, despite the Democrats. It's going to be harder to persuade Americans that the "war on terrorism" is George Bush's imaginary enemy the Reichstag fire, to quote our first openly Muslim congressman, Keith Ellison if there is another terrorist attack.
So naturally, they are blaming any future terrorist attacks on the war in Iraq.
The Democrats blame everything on Iraq, but their insane argument that we are merely annoying the enemy by fighting back has been neurotically repeated since the failed terrorist bombing in London a few weeks ago. The venue of the terrorists' latest attempt, a hot London nightclub, might even shake up the young progressive crowd. Apparently, their soirees are not off-limits, notwithstanding their dutiful anti-imperialism.
In anticipation of their surrender strategy becoming substantially less popular in the wake of another terrorist attack, the Democrats are all claiming that the threat of terrorism was nonexistent notwithstanding 9/11, the Cole bombing, the bombing of our embassies, the bombing of the World Trade Center, the Achille Lauro, etc. etc. until George Bush invaded Iraq.
In the past week, B. Hussein Obama said the war in Iraq has made us more vulnerable to terrorist attacks. Americans are "more at risk," he said, "and less safe than we should have been at this point." We would be safer with "better polices" such as, presumably, Bill Clinton's policy of pretending Islamic terrorists don't exist and leaving the problem for the next president.
Hillary Clinton said we need to start "reversing our priorities. Let's stop sending troops to Iraq and let's start insuring every single child." Yes, that should put a good healthy scare into the insurgents. "Run for your life, Ahmed! All American children are getting regular checkups!"
Sen. Chris Dodd miraculously straddled both arguments that the threat of terrorism is a fraud and that the Iraq war had increased its danger. He said "al-Qaida is insurgent again" because we've "turned Iraq into an incubator" for jihadists. But simultaneously with warning of a terrorist attack, Dodd also said he was "more skeptical than I'd like to be" of the Bush administration's warning of a terrorist attack. Damn that Bush! He's inflamed an imaginary enemy!
As with the Democrats' claim that the greatest military in the world is "losing" a war with camel-riding nomads, the claim that the war in Iraq is what created our terrorist problem a terrorist problem that began about 30 years ago has entered the media and is now stated as fact by the entire Treason Lobby.
CNN correspondent Suzanne Malveaux matter-of-factly reported this week: "President Bush says the central front in the war on terror is Iraq. But when the U.S. first invaded the country almost five years ago, al-Qaida had very little presence. But the intelligence report says that has changed. Al-Qaida not only has become a dangerous threat, the intelligence community expects the terrorist group will use its contacts and capabilities there to mount an attack on U.S. soil."
Say, wasn't the attack of 9/11 an "attack on U.S. soil"? How could that have happened since we hadn't invaded Iraq yet? What a weird aberration. How about the attacks on our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania? How about the 1993 World Trade Center bombing? The taking of our embassy in Tehran?
Another CNN correspondent, Ed Henry, followed up Malveaux's report with the somber news that "the president was warned before the war in Iraq that if you go in and invade Iraq, you're going to give al-Qaida more opportunities to expand its influence."
Similarly, Hitler and Goebbels never had much to say about the United States not, that is, until we started fighting them!
But as soon as we entered the war taking the bait of Hitler's declaration of war against us, which Democrats are urging us to avoid falling for in the case of al-Qaida Hitler began portraying FDR as a pawn of the Jews. Soon posters started appearing in Germany showing the United States as a country run by Jews and Negroes. Fake dollar bills with the Star of David were air-dropped over Paris.
According to the Democrats' logic, FDR's policies made the United States less safe. Had Germany attacked us at Pearl Harbor? No. Was Hitler able to use America entering the war as a recruiting tool? Yes. Fighting the enemy always seems to make them mad. It's as plain as the nose on your face.
Democrats think they have concocted a brilliant argument by saying that jihadists have been able to recruit based on the war in Iraq. Yes, I assume so. Everything the United States has done since 9/11 has galvanized the evil people of the world to fight the U.S. In World War II, some Frenchmen joined the Waffen SS, too. And the good people of the world have been galvanized to fight on the side of the U.S. The question is: Which side are the Democrats on?

We know which side they are on.
If its wednesday night it must be time for an Ann Coulter column!!!!
ROFL! Only Ann!
Brilliant as usual.
You all know the rules! Pics please.
Is that a blow up Ann Coulter?
Left wing democrats are on any side but America’s. They are self-hating, America-hating no-goodnks. They have been able to hide behind our constitutional protections to openly advocate for America’s failure in Iraq and Afganistan. They have sought to undermine every military inititive undertaken. They have consistently attacked President Bush and his administration with virtually endless charges and demands for investigations. At an earlier time in our history, we would have termed them ‘fifth columnists’ and would have dealt with them as the traitors they are.
If there is another successful attack on American soil, the people most culpable after the terrorists themselves are the Dem and RINO politicians who have fought President Bush and the Administration as if they were al Qaeda, rather than the real enemy of islamofascism and its homicidal adherents.
Has there ever been in the history of the Republic a more pathetic bunch of Presidential candidates?
Sadly they have made that abundantly clear over the last six years.
Now we have scantly clad nymphets displaying for Obama, Hillary and now for Gore?....can the bar for politicians fall even lower than this? The Reid sleep-over netted the Cut and Run Party zilch - Oh, the pleadings from Durbin and the rest as if they really cared about our military OR the Middle East consequences if the Bully, Mobbed up Reid had gotten his bill through - ever think of what stupid really means..................? The Pelosi/Reid Congress is pretty embarrassing they think the American people voted Democrat in Nov to END the war ..that is what they want and since they go by Polls and MoveOn as well as Code Pink etc. they never realized that the American People want America to WIN the war .Americans are Not Paper Tigers but apparently the Democrats are.
Watch how the foreign press spins this
. If you want security to continue after 2008
..Vote Republican.
They’ll just come up with a “It’s Bush’s Fault” bumper sticker in its place. (It’s certainly not the fault of their own stupidity.)
Leftist bumpersticker logic
“Two Americas”
“Bush Lied! People Died!”
“From Each According To His Ability, To Each According To His Needs”
“Visualize World Peace”
“End Global Warming Now!”
“No Blood For Oil!”
“Don’t Question My Patriotism”
