IT IS TIME TO DEFEAT FASCIST NAZI ISLAM ONCE AND FOR ALL%u2026

In 1786, Thomas Jefferson, then U.S. ambassador to France, and John Adams, then American Ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the Dey%u2019s ambassador to Britain, in an attempt to negotiate a peace treaty based on Congress%u2019 vote of funding. To Congress, these two future presidents later reported the reasons for the Muslims%u2019 hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.

%u2026that it was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise.

Sound familiar?

Thomas Jefferson and James Madison defeated the fascist nazi muslims 200 years ago
And again 100 years ago with Theodore Roosevelt
Tunisia in 1881 by France and Libya in 1911 by Italy. By then most of the Islamic world was under Christian domination. With the Ottoman Empire defeated in WW1, secularist Turkish rebels in 1923 overthrew the last Islamic Caliphate,

Okay, so the US picks up and leaves Iraq. Let's appease those who want to do this. They seem to know everything.

What exactly would happen after we left?

"There are a lot of "contaminated" people in America thanks to our corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack press." Posted by perception5 at 01:06 PM : Jun 18, 2007

Yeah, that was some seriously left-of-center reportage in the lead up to the Iraq War. The press reported front-page every goon the administration paraded in front of them, without question. You had to go to the third-rate 'Knight Ridder Press' to find anyone questioning the administrations 'intelligence' about Iraq.

Have you ever asked yourself why the New York Times DELAYED reporting the admin.s warrantless wiretapping scandal until AFTER the 2004 elections? I'm sure it was all a liberal conspiracy

Yep, I agree.It is past time to fumigate morons like you. Your views are so far removed from reality you cant possibly think they are true. If you do, you should seek psychological help immediately.

Well here it is "corrupt in the Press" Left-wing corrupt......new report from auditors of BBC:

"The BBC is criticised for its liberal leanings in an official report published today, leading to claims that the corporation is "institutionally biased".


BBC bosses have been attacked for not reflecting a "broader range of views" and not thinking outside of its Left-leaning "comfort zone" in its programming.

The report, commissioned by the BBC, also attacks the way the corporation has pandered to politically motivated celebrities such as Bob Geldof and allowed schedules to be hijacked by special interest groups promoting trendy issues.

As part of the report's investigations, senior figures at the corporation were forced to admit it was guilty of promoting Left-wing views and an anti-Christian sentiment."

..... Liberals enjoy your propaganda while you can...... because not only are Americans tried of the liberal lies and bias but so are many people's around the world......now the BBC.

There are a lot of "contaminated" people in America thanks to our corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack press........it's time to "fumigate".

It is really quite astonishing that the man Bush and his cronies are still in office. The invasion of Iraq is a monumental failure. America's self-proclaim greatest military power on earth has been handed a second military defeat. The problem is that Uncle Sam does not know it yet or simply refuses to acknowledge it. It is no use dying for a lost cause. Surge, escalation, and all those big words cannot mask a failed policy from a failed man. America broke Iraq and can't fix it. How typical of a rich brat who did not know what he was doing, did it, and now cannot untangle the bloody mess he has created. How can a great nation like America suffers such a fool is beyond comprehension!

bluestardad,

I usually agree with much of what you say, but it should be noted that Sen. Levin sponsered the amendment in the runup to the war that would've required Bush to wait until the IAEA finished its work before launching any strikes.

It's my understanding that latter-day dove Clinton as well as the usual Republican suspects voted against this measure.

If they hadn't, we wouldn't be in this war now.

It's hard to know whether to be angry or sad over this endless back and forth that suggests we will be able to somehow find a plan to make this mess go away. But of course there is no solution that will have results anyone can feel good about and that won't have tragic consequences for thousands more than have already been killed and maimed on all sides. The "invasion" was criminally stupid and incredibly arrogant. As the old saying goes, "Insanity is repeating the same actions and expecting a different result." Remember when Viet Nam had supposedly taught us that lesson.

McConnel is from Kentucky where there are large military bases and has milked the military vote for years! in 08 he will be defeated for reelection!

Carl Levin is from Michigan and is also up for reelection and has sided with Israel on every vote for this war! he will also be defeated in Primaries for Reelection.

they are both israeli and bush stooges!

This is the same thing that happened in Vietnam, I was there I know, the U.S. did its part like now, but like Vietnam the U.S. will get the blame and credited with the lost if Iraq falls!
Posted by tbweb

-tbweb, (as one Briton once said 2-b or not 2-be web. This is meant 2b a joke!)

If Iraq falls! whahhh! so dramatic tb, so dramatic! To fall to whom are you afraid of? fall to Iraqis? Hey that is exactly what we're trying to tell them... They needed nobody and they still need no one to hold their hand and walk them down the street. They are nor blind nor elderly. They don't like AlQaeda and they would kick it out as soon as an equilibrium is reached between the IRAQI factions, and more over, as soon as we leave because A-Q is there because Walking-Liar has decided to settle in Mesopotamia. What an iddiottt he is!

antoniof123--What they understand is the important thing--they understand that Americans continue to vote for the same mainstream candidates regardless of how terrible these policies are for the nation.

Americans think it a valid strategy to "vote for the lesser of two evils" because someone who is good, "just can't win". Americans have no integrity--they prefer to pick a winner--it doesn't matter to them if he has horns and a pitchfork.

Americans are not going to have change, until they vote for it. Voting for mainstream candidates who support illegal wars, increased regime police powers, more government, more taxes, more regulation, more unfavorable trade treaties, more illegal immigration, more subsidies for giant corporations and dwindling rights and opportunities for Americans is simply self-destructive and cowardly.

If you are against the war, you vote for the anti-war candidates--not for those who rationalize why we need to continue.

pwrslm,

Al Queada are Sunni Muslims. The majority are Shiite Muslims, like Iran. Syria is complaining of being overrun by refugees from Iraq.

If we pull out, Al Quaeda & Iran will be fighting one another instead of both fighting us, and Syria will be totally overrun with refugees. What's not to like in that senario for you Islamo-haters?

Bush won't pull out because his Saudi(Sunnis) & Israeli masters won't allow it.

It is the Iraqi government, McConnell said, that deserves the lions share of the blame for the chaos in Iraq.

This right wing idiot knows he is lying, everything in Iraq falls at the feet of bush, cheney, McConnell and the rest of the right wing conservative rubber stamping congress.

The republican party has ruined our country.

This is ridiculous. Everyone knew the surge was a waste of men and other resources. You watch, come Sept, there will be a report that makes much of whatever stability Baghdad has. Not mentioning that it is under heavy military presence, or mentioning that the rest of Iraq is just as violent, if no more so.

Then there will be some shenigans by Bush, dominated by Cheney, behind the scenes. Accusing Iran of supporting the violence and the troops will stay.

I think if the Iraqi govn goes on vacation this summer, the troops should come home at once. That is enough to tell you that they are not interested in making progress.

Nothing positive will come out of Iraq until bonzo is gone taking with him all the neocons still remaining and new ideas can be expressed.
