Good one. You really had me going, just when you think Specter sees the light... but strange that sense of direction of his. That was good. What’s that (parsed) FDR line, “If it happens [in politics], you can bet it was planned that way."? The story contrasted with that well.

Hide?
From what? Glad to see you miss me, Willi. Things get boring when everyone thinks alike, eh?
From Pepp's previous thread: "And, this war against the jihadists will not be won overnight because they are determined. They will not lose the will as some here in the States have already lost their will.
Reports that what we are mostly fighting right now is AQ in Iraq. If we give up now AQ wins and takes over."
FACT: Al Qaeda represents a tiny fraction of the roughly 25,000 insurgents fighting against us and Maliki's puppet regime in Iraq. Go look it up. We're fighting local Iraqis on the whole, not predominantly Al Qaeda. Which puts a lie to the oft-cited 'if-we-don't-fight-them- there-they'll- come-here' theory.
Yesterday in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Tom DeLay accused Reid and Pelosi of “getting very, very close to treason” by opposing the war in Iraq.
Constitutional Definition of Treason:
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court."
If Reid and Pelosi are committing treason for fighting Bush's failed surge (which he'd have a hard time proving in a court of law), then DeLay himself is equally culpable. Here's DeLay in 1999 on the US military's Kosovo mission:
“I cannot support a failed foreign policy. … President Clinton has never explained to the American people why he was involving the US military in a civil war in a sovereign nation, other than to say it is for humanitarian reasons, a new military-foreign policy precedent. Was it worth it to stay in Vietnam to save face? What good has been accomplished so far? Absolutely nothing.”
Treason, Tom?
And more Cheney lies today. Cheney:
“Yesterday, Senator Reid said the troop surge was against the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group. That is plainly false. The Iraq Study Group report was explicitly favorable toward a troop surge to secure Baghdad.”
FACT: Iraq Study Group says escalation will “not solve the fundamental cause of violence in Iraq.” The Iraq Study Group said that a “short-term redeployment” of troops into Baghdad could be part of a larger military, economic, and diplomatic plan to wind down the war. But the Bush 'surge' isn't short-term. The ISG also states, “Sustained increases in U.S. troop levels would not solve the fundamental cause of violence in Iraq… As another American general told us, if the Iraqi government does not make political progress, ‘all the troops in the world will not provide security.’”
Pepp claims the surge is working and we need to fight to win (whatever 'win' means). General Petraeus disagrees:
"There is no military solution to a problem like that in Iraq, to the insurgency of Iraq,"
Reality folks. Deal with it.

Earth to Bunny. We're IN the middle of a raging civil war already. What do you call 6,300 Iraqi civilian and security forces and 330 coalition soldiers dead (+ 1,500 wounded) in just the last four months? The good guys *aren't* winning. We've set up a Shi'ite government that is less able to defend itself than the South Vietnamese government was. Maliki's government is a client regime--corrupt, sectarian, undemocratic, brutal......
Why you want our soldiers to die for Bush's criminal folly is beyond me.

Bradford on a mission
And 'the voice rises from below'.
Brad- Tuesday, April, 24, 2007 10:12 AM:
"if telling the truth--finally--about Iraq makes Reid a "traitor" (I guess loyalty to one's country means 'my country right or wrong' for you, huh?), then a majority of Americans are also 'traitors' by your definition, as they also know the war is lost.
Unlike Bush.
Truth in what Reid said?[look for it- must be in there]
Reid Washington times:
"This war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday," Mr. Reid, Nevada Democrat, said at a Capitol Hill press conference with anti-war state legislators.
*Mr. Reid said that both Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates agree with his position, though neither has ever declared defeat."
He certainly should have cooberation. No, Brad, its up to you or him to show “the war is lost” despite the osmosis of your thinking. You throw up quotes of Bush. Now you have to show somewhere that that is a lie. It might require someone other than Reid. You don’t follow your own conclusion:
From- ‘First of all, if America has lost the war, then who won it? Al-Qaeda. Now, if the war is lost, why is it lost? Obviously Al-Qaeda and the other terrorists aren’t capable of defeating us militarily … so, if we lose in Iraq, it will be because we couldn’t take the heat and surrendered to Al-Qaeda’ -- John Hawkins

OK
you write: "You throw up quotes of Bush. Now you have to show somewhere that that is a lie. It might require someone other than Reid."
Reid is merely asserting what the overall facts on the ground demonstrate to any observer with an ounce of common sense and a keen strategic mind.
What's going on is that Bush and company have involved us in a regional war between Iran and Sunni Saudi Arabia (our ally, oddly enough). Fundamentalist elements in Saudi Arabia finance their proxies to fight in Iraq against the hated 'Persians' (the Shi'ites), something that many critics of the war warned would happen from the get go.
And the poor American military is stuck in the middle.
That doesn't mean Al Qaeda wins. If my team plays to a tie, it doesn't mean that the other team has won, does it? The majority Shi'ite population of Iraq have nothing to gain by ceding power to Al Qaeda (which is, at best, a loose conglomeration of Islamic fundamentalist terrorists numbering in the hundreds who use the name as a 'brand'). Al Qaeda is Sunni.
Militarily the war isn't winnable. General Petraeus doesn't think it is. The only way out is via a negotiated settlement with the major players in the region. And my bet is that that is exactly what Condi Rice will try and achieve. That's the only way to 'win.'

What does WW2 have to do with the price of bananas? Your argument makes no sense. Millions died in WW2 on all sides, but that was a largely conventional war fought over territory gained and lost and between uniformed military forces. Iraq is an unconventional 'low-intensity' guerrilla war.
It's not a matter of numbers is it. We killed millions of Vietnamese in the 60s and 70s but we didn't 'win' the war, in the conventional sense. All a guerilla force has to do to 'win' strategically is NOT LOSE. The insurgents have managed that quite well in the last four years.

I've said elsewhere that i support a draft. I do. Because all I see are kids at the malls and a vapid culture of excess that trundles on while the war's burden is borne by the military and their families. That's not fair.
If Bush really had the courage of his convictions he'd make *everyone* share the sacrifice; he'd mobilize the entire country to fight this long war and do what FDR, pour all our resources into winning. But he was more interested in fighting the war on the cheap, with as little political fall-out as possible. He had Rumsfeld go to war with an inadequate force because he was afraid of the negative consequences from shopaholic America of real hardship and sacrifice.
He's to blame for this mess. Him and Cheney and all the corrupt lot of them. Not Reid. Not "liberals."

Your spinning in circles:

Duh, But that does not address Reids claim “the war is lost”.
Brad: “We can't defeat the insurgency militarily. Ergo, we've lost the war.”
Wrong, that is not true or the same thing. I cannot defeat King Kong, say, but does not mean or say I lost.
What was General Petraeus' whole remark?
“There is no military solution to a problem like that in Iraq. Military action is necessary to help improve security... but it is not sufficient. There needs to be a political aspect.”
If it cannot do it alone, and “there needs to be a political aspect” [as well], that is not saying we lost.
Under your interpretation, what he said then is tantamount to surrendering. I disagree.
You can check his remark again, but the word lost is absent, strangely enough.

You seem to object to the word 'lost.'
If the New York Yankees played my local ball club the Toledo Mud Hens, and the Mud Hens held them to a draw, who'd've won? No-one, right?
But I'm sure the Yankees wouldn't feel good about it. And the Mud Hens would probably feel pretty victorious. That's exactly what's happening in Iraq.
Militarily we can't be beat. But we haven't won the war. And strategically, politically, on the level of propaganda etc etc, that's the same as losing.
I know the word 'lost' offends your 'America-loves-a-winner' feelings, but don't blame Reid for calling a spade a spade.
Blame Bush.

What Delay said:
“I cannot support a failed foreign policy."
Is totally different than what treasonous dingy harry said. He said THE WAR IS LOST, telegraphing to the enemies that what he believes/thinks and in essence aiding and abetting the enemy.
We are in a world war, not just a little skirmish in Iraq.
Try looking at the bigger, broader picture Bradford, and see that Iraq is part of the world war against the jihadists.
If the jihadist take over Iraq, then what is your solution? To have them control the entire ME.
If we stop now, we'll only have to go back.
In my opinion, Bush should have waged war without restrictions on the ROE. If you're going to fight a war, take off the gloves. If we had this would be over. But there is too much BS involved with PC. You cannot fight a war with PC.
Additionally the dims have been whining about the Iraq war weeks after we went there. It has been their sole purpose to see us lose so that they can claim political points and decimate GW as much as possible. They have never given up their vengeance since GW won over Gore. The hatred from the left is so bitter you can smell it, taste it, and of course, hear it day in day out.

Fair question. He is, of course, playing politics (as they all do), appealing to the base of the Democratic Party and also, I might add, to the 60% of the US public who seem to believe that the war's unwinnable/lost, too.
The war has been lost in the sense I pointed out above for months, if not years. The time to have won it in the way you mean was back in 2003-2004. But the whole enterprise was so incomnpetently and corruptly handled, that the opportunity evaporated.
Again, don't scapegoat Reid. I'm sure are plenty of people within the military who agree with him.

Which is why the only solution to this mess is a political solution, not a military one. The military side of the war can't be won. The insurgents know this. And the war has made the terrorist threat worse. Our own intelligence indicates that.
The situation in Afghanistan has headed south because of all the resources squandered in Iraq. We should've fought Al Qaeda from the beginning and not gone into Iraq.

My 2 cents
And I've written a blog essay on this in detail, if you want to look.
Background: My Mom was born and raised in Iran. I spent 5 years there and went to HS there when my folks were assigned there (military family).
I don't think the idea of a western-style democracy is feasible. IMO, the political goal should be to install a pro-US strongman such as the former Shah of Iran.
As to the straight military strategy, the current ROE are too limiting. We should be returning fire on any perceived threat, regardless of where they're physically located (mosques, etc.).
The one thing that's respected in the ME is strength. To think that sectarian rivalries that are hundreds of years old are going to magically disappear to form a coalition gov in Iraq are, IMO, hopelessly naive.
Afghanistan is a borderline success right now, but I don't look to it to last. Don't forget what led to the Taliban taking power in the first place. It wasn't the Soviet invasion; look further. Why did the Soviets invade in the first place?

So, it would be evident that if Saudis are fighting in Iraq, most likely they are AQ from Saudi Arabia.
Like some of us have told you, the jihadists pour into Iraq to fight. That is the battle ground. Even bin Laden said Iraq is the battleground for the caliphate. Saddam had already built part of Babylon

Brad, standard one – for them:
“I said "all a guerilla force has to do to 'win' strategically is NOT LOSE.”
&“The insurgents have managed that quite well in the last four years."
Brad again standard two for us:
"We can't defeat the insurgency militarily. Ergo, we've lost the war."
Gee, you’d (almost) think that would be their line. They cannot defeat us militarily. At least I don’t see it..(see your dual standard??) Thus why they use terrorism and guerilla war. We supposedly have rules of engagement, and they don’t.
Brad thinks we lost if we cannot defeat the insurgency militarily. To “defeat” it would be stopping or limiting it, I assume. But then again, we could not stop it if we aren’t there.

She was put into the spotlight because the media wanted a hero,plain and simple.If she deserved a bronze star well that is questionable.
The fact the Saudis are fighting AQ in their home shows the problems the world as a whole faces becasue of the estimated 100 million radicals.

I'm back again. Just trying to decifer Brads meanings here. I mean he clucks at me that's it already is a civil war and the he goes on to say that it's a regional war. Civil, regional, world...war is war is war. Right Brad? So let's all pull on our skirts and wigs and go political.
Brad, I'm thinking the reason you want the draft back is because you are either too old or not in fit enough shape to join yourself. All a draft would do is put thousands of little princess Lynches in there to get their little guns dirty and cry foul play.
Policies will never win a war unless everyone agrees right? So if you want to win the war by political means going around and ruffling the old tail feathers saying WE LOST!!! WE LOST!!! Will not help. People like Reid already in my book will dead and buried before this war is over. They only have their own best political intrests at heart and not the nations or the worlds. Those are the kinds of people that have to keep running back to their so called polls. Again mine and all of my friends opinions have never been asked. I have and believe it or not.....I have lib friends who think we are doing the right thing by going over there. These are southern boys true blue. Most in the military. So please tell me Brad, as you and all libs seem to get the same download into your brains every morning, how do you think political is the only way to go? You say this then say you want the draft back because of these kids you see in the malls. Dude, I don't have to tell you how creepy it is to think your scoping out kids in the mall DUDE! It doesn't make sense. We either fight or we lose. You call us paranoid? It will be a lot worse when little towns like mine get bombed just so Reid can say..See I told you so.
***
And Pepp, the training of the IUraqis is a joke. They couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag.
***
That was just wrong Brad. Even for you. Again you want to win the war by mid-night by pulling out the white flag. 90% of these people are still trying to get out of their ""Rap"" music mode and stand up to think for themselves. They are still trying to decide who is the bigger threat us or them. It will take time. Time to train and time to get them on their feet. It does't help that the AQ are running around saying if you play in their courts with their balls we will kill you no matter what. Check your facts again, and this time try really reading them Brad.

Good post Bunny and you make a lot of solid arguments.
Tonight I was listening to Glenn Beck and he was going on about how can the people who want us to pull out of Iraq sleep at night, knowing what a humongous disaster would occur in the aftermath.
Talk about blood on their hands. dingyharry is going to have a lot of Iraqi blood on his hands if he gets his way.
And, then for him to say kids in Iraq are peeing in their pants at night because of our soldiers!
What another asinine statement. Our soldiers are the ones protecting them!

Nice post. I’m sure our friend Brad we’ve-lost-the- war (and that’s the truth) is probably familiar with their other slogan. It must be won politically.
You know that speech, ending in “it can only be won politically”. Their selective brains do not admit the caveat, it can be lost politically. Old Harold is working on that.

Reid is only interested in seeing his lips flap on tv. He says he's for NV....Um, no he's for himself. No offense Pep, but if Brad is so in love with Reid he can have him in his state. Then we'll see what happens when he wakes up one morining and can't water his 2.0004 inch grass blades because Reid has decided the water would be better off in another part of the state.
The likes of him, Penn, Depp and all the rest of them do not account for the US. They account for the small portion who think that by going to Iraq and being treated well by the enemy then running home saying we lost...well that sums it up. The fact that the Iraqi Parliment was bombed and they didn't just throw in the towel is proof that they think they have a chance. Brad and all the armchair warriors in the demdum society can't understand that to win a war blood will be spilled. Personally I'm greatful that the American government didn't just skip to politics after the Pearl Harbor catastrophy.

Kinda like SecDef Gates telling the Jordanians last week that the withdrawal debate is "helpful in demonstrating to the Iraqis that American patience is limited," that "the clock is ticking" and that U.S. troops would not be in Iraq streets "open-endedly."
Way to wave the white flag and encourage the enemy, Bill.
I don't disagree with you about Reid's political tactics. He's a politician who, as you point out, "have to keep running back to their so called polls."
"Again mine and all of my friends opinions have never been asked."
Mine neither.

No offense taken. We have a big dummy here that got elected because of a Rhino senator. So, some of the voters, in their "wisdom" voted in this dimwit dem. This guy, the dim, is pro everything I would say a good portion of Ohioans don't want.
I guess a lot of people didn't look to see what the guy stood for.
Even though the other guy was a rhino he did vote yes to many conservative issues.
But, because of the corrupt Taft governor, the voters here took a big turn.
There are portions of OH like where Brad lives and some other inner city areas that are all about government programs, hand outs, that's all they are interested in and there is a big union vote in same areas who almost always vote dimocrap.
The rest of the state is RED.

The attacks occurred as Israelis nationwide celebrated the country's Independence Day.
The Israel Defense Forces thwarted the kidnap attempt and dispatched helicopters to intercept the gunmen behind it. Missiles were fired at Qassam launch pads in Gaza. The IDF at first said only 10 rockets were fired by Hamas in today's attack but later admitted "dozens" of Qassams were launched

The Iraqi people have no chance of Peace because Bush and his puppet al-Maliki are dedicated to waging this genocidal war so as to totally control the oil resources of the Mid-east and destroy any sane opposition. Bush wants to attack Iran, as do Blair and Olmert since their government's refusal to cater to Western oil greed. Iraqis, have courage. Bush is destroying the economy and military of the US while Blair is resigning. Israel cannot rely on a depleted US treasury to support its genocide in the future. The Arab/Islamic world is beating Western imperialism and shall outlive its greed and destruction.
Joemomo2003, Boise, USA"
and 2. Iraq has not been occupied by the US and UK forces. Iraq has been liberated from Saddam Hussein. Look at the democracy in the Kurdistan region. The main problem is that the Iraqis are not greatful to the Americans. That's why Iraq is in trouble. Iraq has been liberated and the Kurds will always be thankful to the Americans for this. America did a good job! Thank you!

I read alot of news while working(currency trader) one of the sites I read is Al Jazeera to get an idea of what the thinking in the ME is, There are several anti-American posts there and several claim to be from here or Britian. But as Snooper had on his blog the jihadis have been encouraged to post as Americans,so it is hard to tell, sadly it just maybe the work of a moonbat though.

Interesting that you should relate occupation and liberation. I can think of few people on the planet with whom I diverge more than Richard Pearle, but he said something very interesting. In his view the greatest failure in Iraq was turning a liberation into an occupation.

Well...
regardless of the source Pearle did say it, with no attribution that I heard. And he's absolutely right. And I think it reflects a tendency in this administration to govern as if they were running a political campaign. The CPA was in no small a part a political invention. Many of the senior posts were staffed with young inexperienced political operatives, with political allegiance taking precedent over ability.
The Pat Tillman case is the latest example. Is this what you call 'support' for the troops, the way this family was lied to, all in the sake of PR? I think this administration will be remembered as one of the most shallow and one-dimensional in history.

Do you know why the Tillmans were given a different story? Could there be another possibility? It's pretty tough for a family to hear their son was killed by friendly fire.
I'm not saying it was right. But, it has happened in all wars, that the families are not always told the truth.
The reason I know this is because my grandfather was killed by detonations from friendly fire. He was burned to death and the family was not told the whole story at first.

Has no one other than Bunny noticed that AQ and the others have said over and over again that their intention is to turn the world into one huge Islamic society? They tried it before long ago and have never given up their global aspirations. Why are people listening to our defeatists but not the enemy.

Reid: Reid is pulling the same bs tactic that every leftist on every debate show ALWAYS does. As soon as there are signs of progress, that this redoubled effort is having some kind of impact, they say something even more rediculous, even more loudly and hope that the sheeple hear their message over the other guy. "Reid is merely asserting what the overall facts on the ground demonstrate to any observer with an ounce of common sense and a keen strategic mind."
So from his office, he sees the overall facts on the ground. How the hell is that possible? CNN?
Puh-lease. You want to see facts on the ground go to Blackfive or one of those sites. Talk to the guys there and what they say is diametrically opposed to what ol' "keen strategic mind" says. He surely missed his calling. Maybe he & Jerry Lewis should swap jobs.

a chief difference between the sects in Kurdistan and the rest of Iraq is the absence of the bloody rift between the Shiites and Sunnis. Yazidizm, Zorastrianism, etc...are not hostile to each other. Also, they had the benefit of coalescing around their shared hatred of Hussein, giving them common ground to estabish a unity gov't. Quite the contrary in the rest of the country. Kurdistan is really not an analogous model for success in Iraq.

Lewiston Me would go that way. Always was a strange city. Of course they do have lots of Somalis.
When I was in school in Brunswick Me, my parents just told me that I had a choice not to eat ham. So I either packed my lunch or went home.
When some of the British banks announced that they were going stop calling piggy banks piggy banks, I ran out to buy some. They were not easy to find here, but I did. Pork is even offensive to us than to them, but we never made much noise about it.Things are pretty good for most of them these days. Little do they know what's waiting for them not too far down the road!
The explanation as to why American Jews are quieter about things now is pretty simple. Don't rock the boat and maybe the muzzies will leave them alone.
The main reason so many are/were dummycraps is almost as simple. The big Jewish immigration to the states was during and right after the commy revolution in Russia. Many, if not most of them got their socialistic leanings then and it was passed down through the generations. They might be registered dummycrap, but when asked on the issues many are conservatives.
I was lucky to be from a family that was in the States practically forever. Even had an ancestor throwing tea in the bay so we missed all that socialistic crap.

Rose, America's sweettart:
Rosie O'Donnell's stormy tenure on "The View" will be a short one. ABC said Wednesday it was unable to agree on a contract with the opinionated host, and she'll leave the show in June.
O'Donnell said in a statement that "my needs for the future just didn't dovetail with what ABC was able to offer me."
"This has been an amazing experience," she said, "and one I wouldn't have traded for the world."
O'Donnell has helped raise the ratings for the daytime chat show invented by Barbara Walters. But her outspokenness has caused almost constant controversy, including a nasty name-calling feud with Donald Trump.
But O'Donnell may have broken the proverbial camel's back this week when she used the F-word and grabbed her crotch when she emceed a gala awards presentation in New York.
The event was the Matrix Awards honoring New York’s prominent women in the media, held Monday afternoon at Manhattan’s Waldorf-Astoria.
After the show Beth Ellen Keyes, managing director of the group sponsoring the affair, N.Y. Women in Communications, said in an e-mail: "Rosie was fabulous.”
Not everyone would agree. According to the New York Post’s Page Six column, Barbara Walters "lowered her head on the dais and covered her face with her hand” when Rosie dropped the F-bomb.
O’Donnell ended a rant about Donald Trump by grabbing her crotch and shouting, "Eat me!”
One attendee told the Post: "I cringed and dove under the table when she said, ‘Eat me.’”
She also called Trump an "old, bald billionaire” and made a crude reference to his private parts.
"I was offended by how vulgar and common O’Donnell was,” said Robert Zimmerman, a Democratic activist. "It was especially inappropriate with young people present.”
Attendees include 17 high school girls who won scholarship to pursue careers in the media.
Also on hand: Media mogul Rupert Murdoch and Sen. Hillary Clinton.

Excerpts re: surge in Iraq
"The new plan pushes most U.S. forces out into the population. Americans and Iraqis are establishing Joint Security Stations and Joint Combat Outposts throughout Baghdad. U.S. and Iraqi soldiers eat, sleep, and plan together in these outposts and then conduct mounted and dismounted patrols continually, day and night, throughout their assigned neighborhoods. In Joint Security Stations I visited in the Hurriya neighborhood, in the Shiite Khadimiya district, American and Iraqi soldiers sleep in nearly adjoining rooms with unlocked and unguarded doors between them. They receive and evaluate tips and intelligence together, plan and conduct operations together, and evaluate their results jointly. Wherever they go, they hand out cards with the telephone numbers and email addresses of local "tip lines" that people can call when they see danger in the neighborhood. Tips have gone up dramatically over the past two months, from both Sunnis and Shiites, asking for help and warning of IEDs and other attacks being prepared against American and Iraqi forces. People have also called the tip lines to say thanks when a dangerous individual was removed from the streets."
Most of the military operations of recent months have been laying the groundwork for clear-and-hold operations that will be the centerpiece of the new plan. Coalition and Iraqi forces have targeted al Qaeda and other Sunni insurgent cells in Baghdad, in their bases around the capital, and in Anbar, Salahaddin, and Diyala provinces. They have established positions throughout Baghdad and swept a number of neighborhoods in a preliminary fashion. They have begun placing concrete barriers around problematic neighborhoods to restrict access and change traffic flow to support future operations. Targeted raids have removed a number of key leaders from the Shiite militias as well, reducing the effectiveness of Sadr's organization, which was already harmed by his hasty departure for Iran early this year.

Interesting article. Something I got a kick out of...
"The nuclear weapons were not contained solely in Afghanistan. Al-Qaida laboratories were established in the Balkans, Sudan, Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and even places like Myanmar. A number of these weapons have been forward deployed to Mexico and the U.S."
Looks like Al-Qaeda is all over the place ... and never in Iraq.
Go figure. I read on.

Premature judgments influenced by a week's headlines, whether positive or negative, are unwise.
This sound familiar?
---
A final end to violence rests, of course, on bringing insurgents into the political fold in a way that the Shiites, including some Shiite radicals, can tolerate. It is too early to evaluate progress in this realm. Political compromise cannot take place in an atmosphere of high violence, and both sides need time to recover from the trauma of sectarian conflict before reconciliation will be possible.
Glad to there are others who think there is a time for fighting and a time for politics. Now is not the time for politics.
---
Too much optimism and too much pessimism have prevented Americans from accurately evaluating a complex and fluid situation. It is past time to abandon both and seek a clearheaded appraisal of reality in Iraq.
With this I agree totally. It will take time. Can we win it? Yes. Will we win it? Yes, but not over night.

Pepp, aye it's enough to give pause. I mean other people have been saying as much in bits & pieces for the last few years at least. That it's been corroborated only makes it a bit worse. Also, I'm confident that once the attack here happens, the next logical step is to take over the rest. All of it. Earth. If they cripple us, they pretty much own it all. The different factions there have pulled together fairly well. The hardcore zealots like AQ and the relatively secular guys like Saddam have been bedding down together, with the caliphate as that brass ring.
Much of it, I guess is going to depend on timing. Since AQ first requested help from Saddam & he declined it, (I want to say late 80's but that that could be off), AQ has been setting up their little local sects. As Dr. Williams says, bin Ladin is patient. He isn't idle, though and groups like Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines are set up all over the place. My guess is that once the US goes boom, the outlying factions start the shakedown. Convert or die.

So glad you stopped by. I believe caution is the best word right now. Things are starting to take place in Iraq. Let's see if Petraeus can get what he needs to complete his operation. He needs those troops and everything he can get to make this a success. I remain cautiously optimistic. The fact that Al Sadr has fallen out of grace is a really good thing too.

I actually hear Paul Williams on Glenn Beck's radio program about 2 years ago. I was so enthralled by his story I stopped my car and listened.
And, actually, my little story is somewhat based on his theory. It is truly scary, but we know AQ is not sitting idle all this time. I believe they are plotting and planning. The thing is can we thwart them and stop it before it happens. It would truly be a nightmare scenario much worse than what I write.
I though Willi's link would provide some interesting conversation.

A little information:
Australia Muslim Cleric: Illustration of the global Islamist takeover
BY Douglas Hagmann (article)
25 March 2007
It’s it happening on a global scale and is happening in the United States: the "Islamist global project of domination." A vivid example of this "Islamist doctrine creep" into free society is quite apparent in Australia, where a controversial Muslim cleric has been endorsed as the supreme leader of Australia's 300,000 Muslims – the “Mufti of Australia,” a position he has held since 1988. Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, 67, and an Australian citizen, is the Muslim who created a firestorm of controversy last year when he effectively mandated women to be fully covered from head-to-toe in the most restrictive of Islamic garb, adding that women who do not wear the traditional veil "invite rape" upon themselves. Standing before a packed congregation at Sydney's largest mosque, Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali stated that a woman in revealing clothes was herself to blame for sexual assault "because if she hadn't left the meat uncovered the cat wouldn't have snatched it."
The very same Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali also believes that Muslim immigrants had a greater entitlement to the country than those who arrived at the time of colonial settlement, stating earlier this year: "We came as free people, we bought our own tickets, we are entitled to Australia more than they are."
Prime Minister John Howard along with New South Wales Premier Morris Iemma urged “moderate Muslims,” or the general Muslim population to distance themselves from the divisive talk and replace al- Hilali as the leader of the Musims. Instead, clerics from around Australia met in Sydney and overwhelmingly decided that Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali should keep the post of Mufti of Australia.
Al-Hilali has also denied the Holocaust, consistently defends suicide bombers, and described the 2001 terrorist attacks in the U.S. as "God's work against oppressors." He also blamed Jews for "all the wars and problems that threaten the peace and stability of all the world."
Endorsements of radical Muslim clerics by Muslims masses are happening on a global scale. As in Australia, the “Islamist global project of domination” is alive and well in America. Talk out against it and one becomes labeled as “Islamophobic.” Report suspicious behavior on an aircraft and prepare to be named in a lawsuit.
The tactics are slightly different, but the end game is the same. [*end]

This woman at work was going off about Halliburton and how Bush and Cheney are making BIG profits from this company who is doing the work in Iraq. She then went on to say she gets the scoop from Keith Olbermnn. I nearly fell down on the floor.

We get one of those vendor's booths at airports and have a "rent a pig". We get those little pot bellied pigs and rent them to flyers at airports, just for the flight, then they can turn them in at the destination's "rent a potbellied pig".
It might reduce the amount of imams willing to fly planes.

2. Take along your big black German Shepherd, one who likes to sniff at people's crotches.
3. Carry liquor at all times, lots of it.
4. Never wear a veil.

I'll keep it handy. Little of your story line: Do you think this is anything our posterity will understand any more than we do? I have a grandchild and it bothers me thinking. I am not too far off from their Hancock commune (mentioned in that background art) that I don't want to think about it. I understand locals have had little say about it. Prior to 911 there was a dismissive attitude about it, and not much change since. If another group were to set up a place, not far from water reservoirs(main supplies), there’d be some questions I think. But there was reluctance from the beginning to address any issues to do with it.

I'm sure those numbers are correct. So many are registered dims. Thing is that if they are questioned on the individual issues, quite a few of them answer 'right'. They just can't make the translation in their heads on voting day.
There were lots of Jewish youth over during the summer helping rebuild damage from the war and I got to talk to some of them. It was fun seeing the light bulb go off in their heads when the connection between the hizzies, hamas and AQ was pointed out. I was subjected to many anti Bush diatribes which they got right back from the other side. At least I got them to think a little about it. Of course they are still young, but so was I once and as I got older, I figured it out all by self. Ok, so, I had a little help from a childhood friend back in the 70s. I'm not saying the Republicans have all the correct answers, but as of right now, they have more than the Dims.

Updated Rules of Flying
1. Pack a ham sandwich, you never know when you will need to place one in front of a Muslim.
2. Take along your big black German Shepherd, one who likes to sniff at people's crotches.
3. Carry liquor at all times, lots of it.
4. Never wear a veil.
5. In desperation pack a lot of stones, so you can throw them back.
6. Carry updated Koran where Muslims meet 72 pigs instead of virgins. Make sure you tell the Muslims on board the plane.
7. Carry bacon passes. Make sure you discuss your bacon pass with fellow Muslims on board. Let them feel the bacon if they wish.
8. Wear a pig costume with a pig mask. Pretend you are heading for a Halloween party.
9. Alternative costume: Big black dog costume with plenty of teeth showing in the dog mask.
10. Take your photo album with you with lots of
pig pictures. Show them to your fellow Muslims on board.
11. Wear a pig t-shirt stating I'm in Hog Heaven.
12. Bring a jar of pigs feet and eat it next to your fellow Muslims on flight.
The list can and will be updated as we receive more information and suggestions.

American Dumbocrat Jewish support for Israel? I'm convinced we'd be better off without it. They recognize that non people bunch of terrorists aka the palestinians. It's because of all that liberal garbage they've been fed from back when their grandparents were all secular socialists.
Even the last outpost of socialism-communism has gone the way of the dinosaurs. The kibbutz is no longer. All have turned to capitalism. Members have to have jobs to support themselves now. No more to each according to his needs;from each according to his abilities. They finally realized that the ideology was flawed, and made changes.

Right! What support from the dims? They are too stupid to see anything. Anyone who wants to outlaw the term WOT is not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

I caught the tongue in cheek enthusiasma for Dumbell support – better with none. Yea.
now that we're pushing social justice via education system here, they’ll be cranking out Palestinian supporters for years. No problem. Jewish communities have some pretty good schools. I suppose that may be their biggest asset. Just hope they aren’t boonswoggled into the same agendas pushed down to our public schools. (you see, they know how far to go - we don’t.) If we don’t find and have some God given sense about things, we’re headed for more problems. You’d think after being through it with one generation….we’d figure out how to preempt, at least realize, indoctrinating philosophies. But no.

great stuff. Purplegimp I read somewhere that a lot of the kibbutz's were using their tax status to churn out huge profits,kind of like business incubators....but it has been some time since I looked over that article. Hoping for a good report on the GDP to save my bacon.....pun intended. OH found a way to beat the boredom of waiting rooms,old magazines....was able to get my phone to read townhall.com, if you have data capablity on your mobile go to operamini.com you can download the browser for free and it works with most pages on the ole interweb

Generous American Aid
I've been saying for years that we would be better off in the long run if we refused US aid and were completely independent. The aid almost always comes with strings and conditions, and leaves us wide open to pressure on the so called palestinian question.It would not be easy to wean ourselves from the aid money, but it would put us in a position to tell everyone to take a running jump at themselves. It is outrageous that the so called palestinians do that daily and the money still flows in non stop. They have yet to meet one single condition they have agreed to ever.
ch47 jockey,
A few years ago the kibbutzim got themselves into a fine financial mess with bad investments on the stock market. The government bailed them out, and now most if not all have privatized. They don't get great tax breaks any more, but because of the bail out still have thriving industries and many flaunt various laws with relative impunity.I think this is where I sigh and go back to reading the Friday papers.

LOL
"Ken and Barbie", huh? As long as I get to be the "Ken"!
Pepp: "Free speech"? I scoff! In her case it was more like "free obscenity".
BTW, I actually said "manly studliness", not just studliness. Must get that right, dontcha know?
"I'm a manly, manly, man!" Wasn't that Monty Python?

Hope I'm not intruding on your conversation with ch47 jockey, but I have worried about what you say myself...sometimes I think we hold Israel to standards of constraint we wouldn't impose on ourselves...I can't imagine being such a tiny nation surrounded by bullies who want to run her into the sea...

Ah ha , such is the pork-fest in DC as standard fare. It is time we took stack of who are friends are rather than digging deeper in search of a "lost shaker of salt” somewhere. Or who aren’t – and that price of resentment over us is still there last I checked.

Read your shortstory for first time and wanted to say it was fun. Splended imagination and integration of our most respected political characters. To the right person one could make a fantastic novel of Sci-fi/fantasy/romance etc. out of Washington D.C. alone. It would have to be written in a quantum physics type way though in multi-dimensional chapters of jumping around kind of thing. Be good !

Howdy dude! Thanks for coming by and glad you enjoyed a little fantasy/fiction here. Figures jumping around eh? I'd like to take a couple of figures and make them jump off a bridge. For example, dingy harry can take a flying leap off into the Potomac. Must be a very deep spot.

Now I've got the two of you discussing barbie ken and his manliness or lack thereof.
Brian, if you don't stop this studliness thing, you may be sorry. You are going to force me into writing something in my story about your manly studliness and one never can tell where my imagination is going to go.
