Foxnews news showing the pentagon Briefing with Rumsfeld fielding questions regarding the Connections. No transcript as yet.

The Muslim world is already united against us. They have already declared war on everything non-muslim. The sooner we realize it the better. The enemy is not Islamic radicals. The enemy is Islam.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

A successful attack on Iraq might well cause Iran to fall as well.

[rohry]

"It looks like an end run..."

Yep there's the pulling guard lead blocker (Rumsfeld)...

[Mixer]

I would hope that we would as well, but we have never even named them as an enemy, let alone come close to going to war with them.

"The sooner we realize it the better. The enemy is not Islamic radicals. The enemy is Islam. "

No, consistent with all that we value in our civilization, we don’t declare war on ideas, we go to war on behavior. "International Terrorism"

The American People can't be persuaded to go to nuclear war with all of Islam for their indirect role in 9/11, especially with the entire world against us. So all that's left is a divide and conquer method.

It's working. Afghanistan's ours, Pakistan was intimidated into cooperating. We've taken groups out of SE Asia and Soviet Georgia. Turkey is supporting us on Iraq, and several Arab nations have been persuaded. (Our job there would be 5 times more difficult without a port and border which we got by NOT declaring war on Islam.)

Once we have Iraq, we have a port and border with Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia. And it's just the second year. {smile}

The American People can't be persuaded to go to nuclear war with all of Islam for their indirect role in 9/11, especially with the entire world against us.

Actually, that suggests that we MUST go to war with everyone.

We give them money,
But are they grateful?

No, they're spiteful,
And they're hateful...

Let's drop The Big One and see what happens...

and has natural, instinctive timing,

I like how Bush sets things up, pushes certain people/things right to the limit, and then I bet he sits back and gets a goofy grin on his face when the a__holes finally wake up and realize they've been "Bush-wacked"!!! He's good, he's really good....

[elfman2]

"Let's drop The Big One and see what happens..."

LOL! You're free to try to convince the majority of Americans to join your mental breakdown and vote in a lunatic president and congressional majority that represents you. Until then, more rational heads prevail.

[Poohbah]

I've had it with being lectured about "genocide" by Germans. I've had it with being lectured about how we Americans must seek "a higher courage" by the French. I've had it with countries that don't even have a big river running through them lecturing America about "freedom of the seas."

F*** 'em all, they've asked us to b!tch-slap them.

[Freemyland]

And if you can't, you'll at least die trying, eh? :)

[elfman2]

"I've had it with being lectured about "genocide" by Germans."

ROTFLMAO! That is pretty amusing!

[CedarDave]

I knew that most of the editorial and op-ed pages of the big dailies were run by lefties but I never realized how hostile the beat reporters are!

Q. What position do you think reporters want to end up in their careers and what's the best way to do it?
A. They want to please the boss so that they will have a chance at the job someday.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

hurricaine Andrew (1990)

I think Andrew was in 1992.

[LisaFab]

Good point but the hostility is palable.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

Does anyone have a photo of 'the look'? I don't believe I've ever seen it, but it sounds priceless.

[CedarDave]

ROTFLMAO!!

[LisaFab]

I ended up posting it here.

[gridlock]

Never have seen one. It was just great, though.

I don't know if you remember, but the third debate was with small podiums and Dubya and Gore got to walk around. Gore had these ridiculous elevator boots on with a three inch heel, so he could stand next to Dubya and make him look short. Dubya just looked down at his feet, and so did everybody watching. It was a beautiful thing.

If anybody has a video of this, FReepmail me. I'd pay good money to have that in my collection! Alas, I was not rolling tape myself.

[FreeReign]

Thats exactly why Bin Laden chose those particular terrorists to do 9/11. He wanted us pissed at Saudi, do something stupid and have the whole muslim world unite behind him and have the middle east oil embargo the US into economic doomsday. Don't you think he could have gotten some Paki's or Yemini's to do the dirty work? Think about it.

I think OBL wanted U.S. public opinion to favor the overthrow of the S.A. ruling royals. Currently, there is no link between the ruling S.A. royals and al-Qaida, yet many -- even here -- are talking about the very thing OBL wanted.
