THE most effective weapon terrorists have found to wield against us isn't the headline-grabbing suicide bomber or even the deadly roadside bomb, the IED.
Such weapons can harm us, but they can't stop us. Terror's super-weapon is the lie.
Lying about civilian casualties is the one sure way to impede or even halt US (or Israeli) operations, to force such tight restrictions on our troops that they can't win.
The casualty con's so effective as both propaganda and tactic that terrorists everywhere have adopted the technique. It's been so successful that our enemies long ago transitioned to the next phase: creating civilian casualties and blaming us.
It works. The media love the charge. Our troops and pilots are always guilty -- even if proven innocent. Because so many on the left want us to be guilty.
Few journalists bother to investigate. If the Taliban, al Qaeda, Hezbollah or Hamas says it, it must be so. In Media Wonderland, terrorists never lie. Now every successful strike on a Taliban target generates the instant claim that the dead were all civilians.

How does a muslim fall for muslim tricks?
Who said he fell for it? Maybe he's a willing participant by simply not choosing to challenge it.
Hillary’s not a Muslim, to my knowledge. Just a terrorist-loving Democrat.
I thought her apology was disgusting.
I know some certified America hating democrap voters who were happy with her groveling apology. They hate the country so much that they will believe any evil about US.
Remember the original “Iraqi wedding party” story back in 2004?

The Islamics been playing us for patsies for years. It works because the Dems take these stories at face value and use them for domestic political advantage.
Paging John Murtha, statement needed on American military killing in cold blood. Traitor alert!!!!!!!!!!
WHY ARE FEW AMERICANS (except Freepers and some on the right)OBLIVIOUS TO THE DESTRUCTION THAT IS HAPPENING. AMERICA, WAKE UP!
I pray Israel does not give in and sign any “peace”deals next week with Palestine
This could be an issue to pry open the armor of the Sainted One and get people to realize how thoroughly evil and degenerate he is. Republicans in congress (and out on the stump) should not let this issue die. They should demand investigations and when (of course) they don’t get them, they should scream bloody murder until people start to listen to the fact that Obama/Clinton are effectively enemy agents.
(By the way, as much as I detest McCain — and I do, I really, really do — he wouldn’t have always acted in the best interest of our troops, unlike these two Terrorist Mouthpieces.)
Correction: That’s “would” (not “wouldn’t”) on McCain.
If they haven’t already, our enemies will size him up to be an arrogant child. Watch them become bolder and bolder.
11/2010 won’t come soon enough for me and then we can plan on 11/2012...
