"With this, the Bali bombing and the DC assassins, few are going to shed a tear when the civilized world goes islamofascist hunting."

These terroristic plots take TIME to be set up.

In my opinion, they were coordinated to sow trouble during our assault on Iraq/Iran, however, whether by design or by chance, Bush's slow-go, by-the-book process to enlist the world first before crushing Iraq and/or Iran and North Korea has caused the terrorists to guess incorrectly.

So their attacks are going on PRIOR to the U.S. taking any action in the Middle East, putting the political sentiment for Islam in Europe at risk of jeopardy.

In other words, these attacks are making Islam LESS popular in the world's other power players.

But consider how much sympathy they would have gained if the attacks had come DURING an American attack on Iraq. The French (for one) would be screaming that the attacks in Bali and Washington, D.C. were "justified" responses to such an attack.

But the invasion hasn't happened yet, and therefore the French can't "justify" the terroristic attacks.

Timing matters, and right now the terrorists are suffering for being on the wrong side of that timing.

Very insightful post. And I suspect dead-on. Thank you for causing me to consider this in terms of the world's chess board. Wonder if you are correct. It certainly makes sense. But, alas, in the end, I suspect it depends on the impact of the pathetic liberal spin.

I am inclined to give President Bush and his team credit for the terrorists getting their timing thrown off!

Very Good Post Southhack,

The problem with these Muslim terrorist is that they are guided by their hatred and have a problem seeing the things you have pointed out. When ever emotions are allowed to enter into the equation, Emotions will get you killed or foil your plans.

These radical Islamic terrorist are losing the battle and with actions like what we have seen in Moscow with Chechnyan Muslims terrorist taking innocent people hostage in a theatre and threatening to kill them all. More and more these terrorists are acting on emotions and the entire world is seeing them for what they are. RUTHLESS KILLERS without any justification for their actions.

When enough of the pathetic group of limp wristed liberal leaders around the world get a good taste of what happens when you allow these bastards to expand their numbers and spread their hatred in their countries, maybe they will wake up, I'm glad we have a President who isn't scared to call these people by their proper name .....EVIL
