#5 Saud Royal family abandoner, Mona Eltahawy, posted an anti Wahabi article in Lebanon's Daily Star on Friday. She is the type of Secular that Bush-Powell are marginalizing in the Arab Peninsula. That is why their Iraq policy is an embarassing sham.

It is beginning to look like the moniker, "troll," means: someone with common sense.

#6 "Saud Royal family abandoner, Mona Eltahawy, posted an anti Wahabi article in Lebanon's Daily Star on Friday."

Cool.

"She is the type of Secular that Bush-Powell are marginalizing in the Arab Peninsula. That is why their Iraq policy is an embarassing sham."

That is your utter conjecture.

Hencetoforth, the meaning of *troll* stands as it ever was.

#9 The Saudi's should have released a video of somebody taking his head off with a Poulan so we'd know he's really dead.

#10 Originally the saud leaked that this man was killed while dumping the murdered, mutilated body of Paul Johnson. Now they claim they are still looking for Johnsons body. So which is it? Why the story favorable to the sauds about killing an alqada leader?

If this man is dead(almurky) I say Bloody favortism. Where's the attendant mutilation, so common in muslim revenge killings? he looks like a stand-in on Six Feet Under. Bet he gets a nice little funeral, attended by some saud royals, who need to get whacked.

#12 From Mona Eltahawy, ". For this is the same ideology that militant movements have adopted [adapted, perhaps?] for years throughout the Muslim world.

For one small but recent example one need look no further than Saudi Arabia's neighbor, Iraq. Recent press reports suggest that the town of Fallujah has turned into an Islamic mini-state - anyone caught selling alcohol is liable to be flogged and paraded throughout the city; men are encouraged to grow beards and barbers are warned against giving "Western" hair cuts; women rarely appear in public, and when they do they are covered from head to toe."

The surest sign of hypocracy comes from those who condemn modern "western" technologies and ideology while simultaneously taking advantage of their lethal potential, hoping against hope to absolve themselves of the "bad, western" influences.

#5, DBT, funny how the "islamist" totalitarian state is yet another bastard son of both National Socialism, and Marxism. In Falujah, and with alqaeda, in Soddoms Ba'athist state, in Iran, one finds a phenomenon unachievable without the importation of European Facsism, Marxism, and National Socialism; Soddoms, Talebans, Ayatollah Hommeinis, hey, even Mao Tse Dongs are just too small minded to originate the idea of supreme state ownership of all(everything, including your children) on their own, without the help of the often condemned, but fundamental European Marxian model.

and there lies the history of Modern Europe: at no time is there a struggle except between one kind of socialism versus another kind of socialism. Zum beispiel: National Socialism vs. Stalinist Comunism. Unless The U.S. is forced into the conflict. Only then is Democracy promoted as a way of governmening that originates from the consent of the governed, as an alternative to the dialectic struggle. This a similar indictment .

So, shall we site an example of the American form of hypocracy? one readily familiar? I like the " lets sue McDonalds, cos they make me fat" example. The trial lawyer cabal, having frittered the filthy lucer they extorted through tabacoo lawsuits, are running behind on their bills. They need a new fix. With the help of a giant, former Media Monopoly, itself a corporation, they rev up the extortion racket, yet again, on a reputable corporation, McDonalds. And this corporation, this Media-ocracy, doesn't suffer from the kind of accountability they claim to demand from the so-called "bad corporations". Until Now.

If Newspapers, and TV, want to turn their critical attention at long last, to (wahab)islam, no-one, least of all Pres. Bush is standing in their way.
