Yes, absolutely. This is precisely what is happening. The Islamists have been killing our people for thirty years now, and until now we have only been nibbling around the edges of the problem. And our strategic situation has been deteriorating, because of our alliance with the Saudis, because of the EU's alliance with Saddam and Arafat.
But, despite family ties to the Saudis, GW Bush has begun to reshape the equation. Essentially, if you picture the Islamists as a mob moving down the alley towards us, GW has picked out the loudest, most dangerous, but also the most vulnerable of the louts, and has jumped on him. The others have been taking by surprise, and are back-peddling.
We have essentially declared war on the Saudis, as well, while hugging them and mugging for the cameras. The Green Berets have been sent into Mindinao, into Georgia, into Yemen, we are training police and troops in every one of the 'Stans, we have wiped out the Taliban, we are in the process of annihilating and disassembling every one of Saudi Arabia's operations.
And the Saudis have seen their world tilt on its axis as we have begun to withdraw our troops from their territory to their Gulf neighbors, and into Iraq, and as their Wahabist creation has begun to target them as well.
This is a chess game, and we are in the process of pulling the legs out from under our enemies. The thirty years of one-side warfare is over.
That applies to the outside world but not to the enemy within. The Democrats and all their leftist toadies are still engaged in eye-gouging hand-to-hand combat and we are still fighting by the Marquis de Queensberry Rules.
Excellent observations. Thanks
