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,

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Theodore Roosevelt

Criticism is necessary and useful; it is often indispensable; but it can never take the place of action, or be even a poor substitute for it. The function of the mere critic is of very subordinate usefulness. It is the doer of deeds who actually counts in the battle for life, and not the man who looks on and says how the fight ought to be fought, without himself sharing the stress and the danger. (1894) Theodore Roosevelt

To sit home, read one's favorite paper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men's doing. - The Outlook December 21, 1895 Theodore Roosevelt

Do you honestly believe he would be brought up on charges. And by who?

[prolegomena]

Just to correct a misstatement in the story, there in fact is a level of military application that can stop the violence in Iraq. We're just not prepared to re-install another iron-fisted ruler, or kill two-thirds of the population to achieve complete, unconditional surrender (think Japan.)

Not that there aren't good reasons not to do so, but there are, in fact, military options to secure the peace. We're just not willing to use them. But fret not, when we leave, someone eventually will.

demonic-rates lead The Chorus of Useful Idiots

Leftist Support of Islamist Terror

Most shocking is the outright sympathy of many leftist-liberals for Islamic fascism. They said little about the murder of 500 Russian civilians, many of them children, but screamed week after week because some Arab savage at Abu Ghraib prison wore a bag on his head. They cared nothing about the beheadings committed by the Islamo-savages or the execution of 12 Nepalese. David Horowitz gives an excellent discussion of who this "Left" really is. He calls them neo-communist, I call them Leftist-Liberals. I'm a classical Liberal myself and I feel it's time to remove this irrational element that has been allowed to poison our good name.

Posted by j-whitman at 02:42 PM : May 31, 2007

I agree with you up to a point.

Since it is highly unlikely that Bush or anyone else in his crime syndicate will face justice (serve prison time), I'll reserve my happiness being dependent on Bush serving prison time.

I surely do not want my happiness dependent on the fate of a little low-life weasel.

You mean to tell me that every day we can hear about Iraqis killing each other with car bombs and drills, but you are upset that some torture manual wasn't front page headlines. Christ, we have lost nearly 2,000 soldiers since *** Cheney said that insurgency was in its last throes two years ago. Good to see your outrage is so well placed.

It is hardly news anymore that there are evil killers raoming Iraq. Maybe that is why we don't want 150,000 Americans stuck in the middle of that hellhole. Maybe that is why a majority of Americans, not to mention several former generals, want to redeploy and focus on fighting Al Quaeda rather than being stuck in an Islamic civil war.

Posted by chicnlittle at 02:29 PM : May 31, 2007

You far righties will never be hold yourselves to account no matter what happens while Bush is president. This is about "the decider guy" taking actions which have consequences that we had the knowledge to avoid if only he had listened. It's about personal responsibility for results, ie MERIT and ACHIEVEMENT - not personal prosecution. And Bush isn't capable of brokering world peace so your hypothetical is completely delusional imo

[j-whitman]

chicnlittle,,, You support Bush who was a corrupt lifetime failure & was found guilty of fraud 2 times by the SEC,, Stole millions from Texas taxpayers... His only accomplishment was contriving a PR team that convinced idiots he's even remotely capable of the job.

[chicnlittle]

Nevermind winning or losing! We are focusing on violence now...now let's think...a war without violence to Americans (the ones who started the war...)
How do we do this???
Americans don't want any violence to them...everybody put your ideas in the hat and we will pass it around to all...

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?

It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace--but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! March 23, 1775 Patrick Henry

One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Winston Churchill
