State Department Says Iraq Had Biggest Spike, Iran Biggest Terror Supporter

[j0hnwi11iams]

Oh yeah, lets complain about how the terrorists won't fight fair against the world's only overwhelming superpower. Boo freaking hoo. They terrorize to provoke us to lash out indescriminately and create more enemies for ourselves. Bush and Cheney EXPLOITED your reaction to sell us a fake war. Republicans are SUCKERS. Period.

Are we supposed to be pleased that we as a nation, have granted the terrorists entry into Iraq, almost the only country in the Middle-East where they didn't go before our invasion opened the borders to them? Does a total lack of planning for Iraq in the real world, after Saddam's ouster offer a reason for pride in the administration?

We've increased the number of active anti-US terrorists worldwide. The number of attacks is up, as is the number of victims killed in attacks. The number of the injured is also higher. The administration's war on terror is a spectacular success if their objective is to strengthen the terrorists.

However, if the goal of the administration has been to weaken the terrorists, it has been a failure of historic proportions. In the process of their spectacular failure, the death toll among the US military continues to rise as more of them are placed in harm's way in Iraq.

If insanity is doing the same thing over an over and expecting different results, continuing to do the same things over and over only doing more of it with more people, then it must qualify as some kind of super-insanity or simply Bushshit.

"Our WAR has disrupted their networks, stopped their easy planning and training centers. If we were not on the offensive ( as under the Democrats) we would be certainly hit again with a major attack. That is certain, just look at poor UK."

Um, problem with your logic here. The UK is our ally in Iraq. They are "on the offensive" with us. Yet they still got hit with a terror attack.

A wise man was once asked "Amongst two, who is my enemy?
One demands a loyalty based upon secret trust, the other a fellowship based upon open truth."
The wise man answered "The one believes you are a fool."

If Iran is behind most of the terrorist acts going on in the world how is it that Halliburton is allowed to do business with them?

"Men desire authority for its own sake that they may bear a rule, command and control other men, and live uncommanded and uncontrolled themselves" (St. Thomas More, A Dialogue of Comfort).

Re: "Iran remains the biggest supporter of terrorism around the world"

I thought that Exxon-Mobile and Monsanto were tied for the top spot?

Re: "The report says 6,600, or 45 percent, of the attacks took place in Iraq, killing about 13,000 people, or 65 percent of the worldwide total of terrorist-related deaths in 2006. Kidnappings by terrorists soared 300 percent in Iraq over 2005."

What could be more absurd than a brutal and illegally ocupying aggressor, measuring the 'terror trend' index in the victim country?

I will print this report out on perforated double-ply, so that I can get some use out of it.

USA advisor : Excellent point. They are all our enemies.
Another enemy is ourselves, namely those stupid moral idiots who teach that "all cultures are the same". If they had reported what heinous people the Israeli were fighting, people who targetted women and children, perhaps our State Dept and our college "educated" voters would have been more careful about foreigners from Arab states. Our media is in that mode still.
Until we understand that EVIL exists, we are vulnerable.
Until we truly fight with all our power, we will not fully win.

"Hey, you liberals all blamed Bush for 9/11...can't have it both ways; there's plenty of blame for both, but let's compare 8 years and no action on numerous attacks to 8 months and no action taken on no attacks..." Posted by fredgrad2000 at 09:37 PM : Apr 30, 2007

Whether it's your view or not, you need to compare Reno's terrorist convictions to those of Ashcroft and Gonzales. The only terrorist that Ashcroft convicted was an "anglo" from Noonday, Texas. Ashcroft didn't allow it to be publicized because Krar didn't fit the "Muslim profile."

Gonzales' numbers are inflated, and misleading at best. Of 200 convictions, only 14 had ties to al Qaeda. The median sentence for all 200 convictions was just 11 months. Some record!

To CBS: Although not good for business or ratings, how about showing how terrible our enemy is ? Why do I need to go to Little Green Football to see what things, like cutting off our heads, they are opening doing and saying ? The intolerance of their culture is overwhelming. I feel that our media is putting oour collective head , "ours"- in the sand, ? only to be lopped off later by "THEM"?

We need more : Let it be known that we bill destroy all holy sites, like Mecca if we are attacked on US soil. 2. Kick out everyone from CAIR and send them to Egypt to be interrogated. 3. Shut down Al Jazeera and force them to tell us everything they know. 4. Bomb any nuclear site in Iran. 5. Introduce fear into Hezboll and Hamas. Carpet bomb them if needed. Those crazy people need a kick in the ASSSSJ. 5. Become energy independent with NUCLEAR plants, and hybrid cars. Buy a prius at gov't subsidy.
If this all sounds crazy to you, I am only trying to sound similar to the enemy, in what they would do to us, in a nanosec. Because that is what they are preaching. Crazy ? Yes. But no more than what our ISlamicfascist friends of peace are saying.
