Oh I'm so scared the Islamist might take over the world with their 13th century technology.

Actually the only way we will lose to them is if our scientific illiterate and factually challenged administration continues to dumb down Americans to the level of the Islamist.

Their (the terrorist) goal is to destroy our society not with weapons but with fear.....their number one instrument is the President of the US of A and a Rush Limbaugh dumbed down 6,000 year old Earth believing populace.

Compare Bush's mantra be afraid...be very very afraid with FDR's ..."the only thing we have to fear.....

Jeez do we ever need some leadership.

Ok muirego. Keep debating the gender of angels while the barbarians smash down the gates, you byzantine.

1932 Germany couldn't challenge a Boy Scout Troop. Couldn't say the same thing about 1942 Germany.

Ha! Ha! Yes America is going to be conquered by Al Qeada.

You guys really don't understand the situation do you?

"Oh I'm so scared the Islamist might take over the world with their 13th century technology."

Could you try and say something even more idiotic for a cash prize of $50? I don't think you'd be able to.

"Oh I'm so scared the Islamist might take over the world with their 13th century technology."

Disappointing effort. To accurately mock our conservative bed-wetting, the boxcutter technology they used to slaughter nearly 3000 human beings and cause up to $83 billion in damage to our economy should be placed somewhere in the 2nd century BC with the development of carbonized wootz steel in India.

If you get your dates and facts right, your delightful satire is sure to be more... cutting.

Wow horrible it was but did we almost lose control of our country to them? Our response to their attack has hurt our country many times over what the attack itself did. That's because are administrations strategy is actually more primitive then the 13 th century...these guys are acting like frickin cave man all emotion and no brains.

Hey mun-go they don't have anything to fear from the likes of you. The only fear they might have is from falling over you because they cannot get your nose out of their ass. Frigging two-bit cowards. (oh hell I know you make 200K a year and I am a wingnut but you are still nothing but a ASSKISSER). Stick that up your nose-(if you can get it out of the nearest moose-lums ass). Whew!!! now I feel much better. Think I will go mow my yard

Talk about which administration had their heads in the sand? I found this over at my favorite site blogsforbush:
“In mid-May, 2001, Secretary of State Colin Powell announced a $43 million grant to Afghanistan..”

That is right; Bush gave the OBL loving Taliban $43-million dollars (our tax dollars at work). Can you say appeasement?

And this just in.

So we aren't fighting in Iraq because of WMD's and we aren't fighting because of 9/11. Hum so why are we fighting there?

Oh yeah because the Republicans feel bad for the Kurds.

Senate Panel Releases Report on Iraq Intelligence

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 — The Senate Intelligence Committee said today that there is no evidence that Saddam Hussein had prewar ties to Al Qaeda and one of the terror organization’s most notorious members, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

GOT IT TOOLS? Kool aide drinking Orwellian sheeple characters. You've been fooled again. Your govmint has made complete fools of you..yet again. And I suspect many will still be arguing they know more then the Senate Intel Committee.

Hey mungie that is old news. tsk tsk.

jhow66:

Hey mungie that is old news. tsk tsk.

A link between Saddam and bin Laden? Oh, hell no, and no one on this site has ever made such a claim; yeah, that's definitely old news.

P.S. You're an asshole.

Old news? Was 8/21/06 old news? In “W’s” press conference he was asked if going to the war with Iraq was mistake. He said to image what our world would be like if we left Saddam in power knowing that he had “relations” with a known terrorist:

“…who had relations with Zarqawi.”

Oh I'm so scared the Islamist might take over the world with their 13th century technology.

Those have to be the most imbecilic words I have ver read. Those 13th century barbarians seemed to have figured out how to use the internet fairly well and they are using the stone age technology to build atomic weapons in Iran.

With their fanatacism, they accomplished something that the Germans and the japaneese nver could: they attacked American cities.

Yet the real danger is BUUUUSH. Simply unbelievable.

It is the nature of the Left to delude themselves regarding our enemies. While the most classic is Chamberlain with Hitler, the Left of today constantly tries to "equal" his "feat".

Witness good ole Barbara Boxer, who proclaimed a couple months ago "Iran is at least 5 years away from developing an atomic bomb". She was saying this in order to decry the strong stance incrasingly being taken by Bush, et al.

Babs Boxer is SUCH a bigot, that she believes the stoooopid Iranians, using modern computers and precise fabrications techniques...and in possession of the EXACT specifications of an atomic bomb, will take FIVE years to do what WE did in 3 years during World War II. 3 years using #2 pencils...and having to invent everything from scratch!!

Babs message is the message of the Left: "go to sleep...sleep...all is well...there is no threat...sleep"

I'm curious, where would these far left wing fanatics fight the terrorists? I've never heard any of them state where they would fight them. Oh, and if it's not too much, what part of the war on terror do you agree with? We know you're against tracking terrorists phone calls, you're against tracking their money, you're against all forms of interrogation, youi're against profiling. How exactly would you fight this war?

How could a group of ragtag street thugs lead by a short, ill-tempered, failure of an architect ever threaten the world?

In actuality, both OBL and Hitler have laid their plans out for the world to see. OBL actually has an easier path to world conquest than Hitler ever did.

OBL plans to overthrow governments in all Muslim-majority countries and unite them under a single Caliphate, from where he will subjugate the West to form a world Caliphate. As OBL has repeatedly stated, the Muslims hold a strong advantage in that they can control vast oil resources and have four times as many men of military age as the aging and demoralized west. He doesn't even think it will be much of a contest.

The hard part will be taking over the Muslim countries since the US would never allow an al-Qaeda-linked group to take over a country with vast oil resources . That's where 9/11 came in. He doesn't think the West has much of a stomach for blood and hopes to drain the US of it's will to fight. Once the US is out of the Middle East, the Caliphate can be resotred and eventually consume the world.

Oh, Islamo-fascists are so frightening!

Annual U.S. deaths from Islamo-fascism = 500 (est.)

Annual U.S. deaths from Alzheimer's - 66,000.

Oh, please, right-wingers, save us from the globally ostracized, fractured minority of a 1,400 year-old religion! Because we Americans are so weak and vulnerable. We only spend on defense as much as the rest of the world combined. Protect us right-wingers, protect us!

Like Dennis Prager, i'm more interested in clarity than agreement.

Those who disagree with the Bush Administration and comment on this blog have made their position very clear.

Who do you think these folks are going to be voting for, Democrats or Republicans? Why?

Their comments ought to make the choice very clear for this November.

That's OK muirgeo. Keep putting your head in the sand. They'll be coming for people like you first.

Who will be the easiest first? Bed wetting, liberal, anti-gun asshats who will still be asking "why do they hate us?" while their throats get cut from ear to ear. F'ing clueless.

Re: Baggi: Their comments ought to make the choice very clear for this November.

Here are some other comments that might help make the choice clear in November:

"I don't know where Bin Laden is and, frankly, I don't think about it much."

"We know where the weapons are. They're in Baghdad, Tikrit..."

"It could take six days, six weeks - I doubt six months"

"Mission accomplished"

"I think we're in the last throws of the insurgency"

and... just for fun...

"I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees"

Cheers!

Bob Jones - why are you so frightened? Don't you trust the greatest military on earth?

matt, you forget (among thousands) "It's hard putting food on a family."

They can beat you with 13th century technology if you refuse to fight them, which is exactly what muirgeo is advocating.

Barney - that's a good one! But I prefer to focus on Bush's idiotic policy statements than just his idiotic slips of the tongue. The latter are a forgivable general stupidity. But the former are more indicative of his lack of character, competence and insight.

Pro Cynic - I disagree.

Muirgeo isn't saying not to fight. He's saying not to fight from a position of fear and stupidity, i.e. like Bush. Rather, we should fight from a position of strength, courage and intelligence - like FDR.

Hey "alfalfa" you are right -I am a asshole but my is where it suppose to be not like yours that is right under your nose that has a "brown" ring around it.
To "barneygoogle"-if I remember right old Zarqueerie had "relations" with a big old bomb that gave him a real bang.
"mun-go" & mattieyard" can't fight anyone-they can't get off their knees long enough.

Looks like jhow is even more drunk than usual.

I'm pissed that no one told me with was "beat the crap out of conservatives" day at Whizbang -- sorry i missed the fun.

Oh, and in case you missed it --

WASHINGTON - Saddam Hussein regarded al-Qaida as a threat rather than a possible ally, a Senate report says, contradicting assertions President Bush has used to build support for the war in Iraq.

Released Friday, the report discloses for the first time an October 2005 CIA assessment that before the war, Saddam's government "did not have a relationship, harbor or turn a blind eye toward" al-Qaida operative Abu Musab al-Zarqawi or his associates.

Saddam told U.S. officials after his capture that he had not cooperated with Osama bin Laden even though he acknowledged that officials in his government had met with the al-Qaida leader, according to FBI summaries cited in the Senate report.

"Saddam only expressed negative sentiments about bin Laden," Tariq Aziz, the Iraqi leader's top aide, told the FBI.

The report also faults intelligence gathering in the lead-up to the 2003 invasion.

As recently as an Aug. 21 news conference, Bush said people should "imagine a world in which you had Saddam Hussein" with the capacity to make weapons of mass destruction and "who had relations with Zarqawi."

Yeah, "imagine" it because it isn't true - it was just another fat lie from the fat-head conservatives in Washington.

Goodness! Look at all the pro-Saddamites littering this thread with their Left cult talking points!

re: Goodness! Look at all the pro-Saddamites littering this thread with their Left cult talking points!

Darleen - impressive demagoguery!

It has a certain George Wallace or Joseph McCarthy-ish zealousness without facts. And just a hint of Hitler-esque pseudo-religious moral posturing to demonize your opponent.

Well done.

See, lefties can do demagoguery too. It’s fun!

You all keep telling me they attacked us with box cutters.......NO THEY DID NOT!. Iraq had NOTHING to do with 9/11, NOTHING to do with Al Queda and NOTHING in the form of WMD.

Iraq distracted us from Afghanistan and has empowered Iran and weakened us and spread us thin. Hope like hell President Gen. Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan doesn't take a bullet to the head any day now because that country has a whole lot of hornets that now really hate us and they DO have the bomb..right NOW.

The war on terror will NOT be won with bombing campaigns. It will be won with intel and diplomacy and alternative fuels.

Egypt vs Israel settled with diplomacy

Jordan and Israel....same

Libya and the US .....same

more examples abound.....and many abound of endless war back and forth when people refuse to even try diplomacy.

I picture you guys walking through the woods and when you see a hornets nest near the path ahead you immediately run up to it and start hitting it with your walking stick.
Me I just take a short detour through the woods and everything's fine.

But a bunch of those hornets (well, completely different hornets, but still hornets) are plotting to take over the world and install a hornofascist empire! You can ignore it and wait for your doom, or beat the hell out of that nest now, fighting them at the tree so you don't have to fight them in the driveway. Sure beating the nest will cause all of the hornets to attack you, but you'll kill some of them. Just keep repeating to yourself, I'm winning...I'm winning, and don't you dare leave the area. Ever.

mattyd,

Nice meaningless platitudes. Explain how.

Um, muirgeo.

1. US-Libya was settled withdiplomacy because Libya was scared of us -- because of what we did to Saddam.

2. Your assertion that Saddam had "NOTHING" to do with al Qaida is flat out wrong. They had relations dating back to at least the mid-1990s. Abu Musab al Zarqawi's presence in Iraq pre-dated the US invasion. To believe that Saddam Hussein had extensive ties to every major terrorist group in the Middle east (by his own admission) except for al Qaida is absurd.

3. Your assertion that Iraq had "NOTHING" in the form of WMD is similarly absurd. Aside from the 700 shells we did find, Saddam had the implements to manufacture many,m any more very quickly. Or do you think all the pesticide found in camouflaged bunkers in the desert was just because of an insect problem?

4. Tell me, how effective has diplomacy been on Iran?

Egypt vs Israel settled with diplomacy

Unfuckingbelievable!!!

Were you dropped on your head as a child, or did publik skool teach you social studies instead of history?

It was only settled with diplomacy after Israel kicked Egypts ass in the 1967 Six Day war and occupied the whole Sinai ..... AND it was Anwar Sadat (not Jhimmi Quisling Carter) who made the first moves to open negotiations and that was only after Sadat's ass was kicked in the 1973 Yom Kippur war..which he STARTED along with Syria trying to recapture the Sinai (when Israel started pushing into Egypt, suddenly Egypt wanted a "cease fire" demanded through their Soviet allies -- sounds a lot like Hezbollah's unilateral attack on Israel, eh?).
