Al Qaeda seems to be doing well
 

New York Times:

Al Qaeda Chiefs Are Seen to Regain Power

Thanks to U.S. invasion, they now are a strong force in Iraq where they had practically no presence before the war. And now they seem to be getting their training organization and command structure back into shape again. It seems Bush has been doing a great service for them while doing a great misservice for his own country - there will be no lack of passionately US-hating Al Qaeda recruits during the next 20 years.

Well you just give them a big hug and tell them you can't wait till they take over your country.

Right, Because Al Qaeda was so friendly to the USA before the Iraqi invasion. I mean so they killed 3000 people in New York, bombed the USS Cole killing soldiers, bombed targets around the world killing Americans, British, Africans, but I guess you want to ignore all that and have us believe the Iraqi invasion has made America a target and recruitment is up.


But hey --

Al Qaeda's number two, Aymah al-Zawahiri, has sent his marching orders to the Democrats, which may help explain why the Democrats are pushing so hard to surrender. It really is stunning, Zawahiri is urging the Democrats to implement the policies the Democrats campaigned on implementing.

Speaking directly to the Dems, their Grand Ayatollah said:


As for the Democrats in America, I tell them:

The people chose you due to your opposition to Bush's policy in Iraq, but it appears that you are marching with him to the same abyss, and it appears that you will take part with him in the defeat and certain failure, with God's permission. And the American people shall discover that you are all one side of the same coin of tyranny, criminality and failure; that failure which - by the grace of God - has neutralized the endeavors of the traitors who entered Kabul and Baghdad on the backs of American tanks, and has dashed their hopes as they see the Mujahideen come closer and closer to victory, which has led them to urgently appeal to America for help and implore it to continue to occupy their lands and raise the banners of the Cross over their heads.

So, Democrats, your Grand Ayatollah is giving you a direct order to cut and run. You better not disappoint him.

It is not a sad commentary that the policies of the Democrats in the United States Congress are the same policies advocated by our enemies?

It's much worse than that.

lol @ debbie schlussel. like ann coulter, except genuinely insane.

The reagan Administration is reaping what they planted back in 1983. The denial of it all is quite mind boggling.

Even more mind boggling is this, confront the typical US citizen with those facts, that their own government financed those terror org/s to begin with while it suited them. Borderline Denial.

Why do Al-Q exist? US backed Jihad against the russians. Anyone denying this are born to be bubble boys/gals.

What is truly heartbreaking is that most US citizens serving under that insane war were little babies cooing at their parents back in 1983 with no voice of their own. Now those same cooing loves comes back as shellshocked, amputated or in coffins. Quite an unfair legacy on the behalf of the Reagan administration if not a shame for the whole party.

Another matter of interest for those who lost limbs in the current Irak war and are treated less than fairly.

They did their part, they fought in this war yet those who says they support their troops will not do squat against this insult that is bestowed on their amputated survivors.

My heart goes to their courage and inequality on how they are treated now. IMO, they should have the top notch treatment by the best doctors, not being chided by their superiors because they cannot get a new uniform when it is time to claim their purple heart medal.

Support our troops, forget the amputees?

War with Irak, stupid to begin with.
WMD found, close to zilch.
Send your offsprings to finish war feeble Reagan started, useless.
Senators/Congressman's daughter's/son's going to war, yet to be proven. (talk about patriotism)
The media and US army ignoring their most recent war veteran, PRICELESS.

On this, I truly wonder who hates the most US citizens. Those who talk againt this insane administration or those who ignore those ripples in the pond where that rock was throwned and keep burying their head in the sand as to what becomes of most soldiers who actually "RISK" their lives over there for what they truly believes in.

Keyboard warriors sucks, enlist and serve a purpuse for once beside wearing down a piece of technology by ranting on some who are so unpatriotic because they oppose the war, according to their views.

Support the troops is one thing.
Ignore them when they come back maimed, unacceptable.

sucker politics - get a grip, sinner, you're getting played like a fiddle. your "sad commentary" is irrelevant from a policy viewpoint. the Iraq war is over for the US and, by not winning, we lost.

this is just the beginning as these people try to bludgeon everyone into thinking that a vote against their team is a vote for the terrorists..
try again losers.. no one is buying

it's time to go back to the opposition where you belong

Now knife, I am just playing the same tune as Tankgirl. As for the War I agree, seems Americans don't want to win wars any more.

Watch this video...

This is what the Dems and 24 cowards of the GOP will destroy with their Slow Bleed policy.

Sinner, you might be interested in this blog. It culls together Iraq news reports that show the positive side of our presence there. The blogger is a little over optimistic, but the news reports themselves are what's important.

Everyone else, don't bother clicking the link. I'd hate for you to have to open your minds.

What are you trying to say with this rant?

It sounds as if you are saying, "Be a Man" and go to war for me so I don't have to.

Doesn't Canada allow women to fight? You sure seem to enjoy confrontations, I'd think that you would fit right in. :)

Not a rant, a fact, too many keyboard warriors puffing and huffing.

As for Canadian men or women going to war in Irak... Canadian citizens never bought in the LIE that tied Al-Q to Saddam, nor did our MP at the time.

I am against the war, always were, why enlist? quite an oxymoron no?

Tony Blair gets a clue
 

Britain begins to bail:
driven by bad polls at home and an untenable situation in Iraq, Blair begins to cash in his chips and go home.
this is absolutely false and Cheney knows it - British casualties have tripled in the last several months.
make no mistake, Britain is reducing forces because they can do no more. it's a rout, not a victory.

What your hit-and-run style news reporting doesn't reveal is that Britain has steadily withdrawn their troops from Iraq over the past four years.

It's only news now because Blair has started using this slow, steady pullout to his political advantage. His approval ratings in Britain are worse than Bush's in America so now he's pandering. This next troop level reduction won't vindicate him, but it will remove some of the tarnish from his legacy.

Basra is the coalition's link to the gulf, most of their supply lines run through it. If troops in Basra really had been routed then the war would be over. Well the war is decidedly not over. This idea of yours that civil war has permeated every nook and cranny of Iraq and engulfed the lives of everyone there is absurd. Basra has its share of violence, but it is not on the verge of self destruction, and neither is most of Iraq for that matter.

Perfect description of ALBED! Keep it up, girl!:W:

Lol, give it up already pisser; she prefers men.







I guess Britain is so "routed" that they're sending Prince Harry in to hold the fort.


Things will get very interesting if he gets snuffed.

As Mazer has said, this - like almost everything you hear about Iraq is all about home politics. The British have 7000 troops in Iraq right now and they are pulling 1500 out. Denmark is pulling 450 and Lithuania is pulling 53. What the media fails to tell you is Australia is sending more troops. You may see it as abandonment but I think it is a sign of hope. As Iraqi troops take control, foreign troops leave. That`s been the plan all along. Hasn`t it? Let international troops make the country safe, then go home.

There was a poll yesterday, I don’t have a link but it showed 57 percent of Americans want to stay in Iraq and finish the job, 57 percent want to win the war. That is good I guess, and you should be thanking the British because many have sacrificed their lives in this war. So the USA will have to win this war without Britain, Denmark, Lithuania, and certainly without the weasels in France. It has always been on USA’s shoulders.

actually, i regard this as a sign of hope, also - hope that the decision-makers in the Iraq debacle may finally be coming down to earth. Britain's situation is untenable : "declare victory and leave" (also know as "cut and run" in some quarters) is a fine idea - something we should have done several years ago. kudos to the Brits for the reality check. what are they leaving behind in Basra, the city where the British embassy had to be moved to the airport because they were unable to defend it ?Cheney knows this - he gets the same report. the White House assessment of the British decision is simply dishonest. i know, shocking, isn't it?

oh, and about that poll. i know it's thrilling for the right to finally find a poll that tells them what they want to hear, but let's consider the source.. if you need to latch on to this one, to get past the 30 or 40 other polls that indicate otherwise, knock yoursef out. the methodolgy is so bad, even Republicans have distanced themselves from this particular polling firm.

I think it's telling that theknife's antagonism now extends to Britain, showing that his opinion isn't based on any concern for his country but on uniform opposition to any enemy of islamic terrorists.


Though he's really no different than all the weak minded, easily swayed liberals.






"The enemy of my enemy is my friend" is taken to heart by terrorists and liberals alike.
