#4 Note to MSM: If you really want to know why I wouldn't piss in your mouth if you were dying in the desert..it's things like this. US forces are tainted at best, and guilty at worst as typified by the spin on the interview.

Did it not ever occur to you, Lara, that Tater and his iranian puppetmasters are using you like a two-bit whore? Did it never occur to you that what the US said was true?

A reason I never watch the broadcast news...ever.

#5 No, no mouse. The MSM never ever questions the stories or reports or actions of the enemy. They'll devote five nights of the talking heads in NY or Washington and pages and pages of verbage anal-izing and monday morning quarterbacking of any US action. However, any criticism of the the 'enemy' is never to be done. Cause they're on the same side. Have to be. If they were unbiased they'd have similar coverage of their allies.

#7 Ah, democracy at work! And no, I'm not being sarcastic. They'll figure it out -- eventually.

#8 perfesser: I agree with you. I just hope it's sooner than later.

#9 Of course the MSM would never bring themselves to address one simple question. Mosque or no mosque, wasn't the place was an insurgent stronghold full of weapons and torturing hostiles that needed cleaning out worse than a bus station toilet? If these f&ckwits bring weapons and materiel into their places of worship, those locations immediately become enemy territory and deserve only to be treated as such.

Shiite or Sunni it matters not, they all think they can have it both ways. Their religion must be respected by outsiders regardless of how badly they desecrate it themselves. This is exactly like the cartoons. We are not allowed to poke even a smidgen of fun at the least part of their belief structure while they malign any and all comers with the most abusive and derogatory filth.

So often, Islam involves such a brute force combination of cognitive dissonance and moral hypocrisy that there is ever-diminishing hope for any sort of peaceful coexistence. Toss in a few more of their typical Islamist atrocities and any hope for peaceful coexistence will shift over to a desire for hostile confrontation in all parts.

I have never seen a culture so actively harvest the benefits of gobal religious tolerance while simultaneously taxing the patience of all whom their continued existence depends upon.

#10 Zenster, that's what happens when politicians follow instead of lead. Where is our next Lincoln ?

#11 Where is our next Lincoln ?

Like a Phoenix, such a leader will probably arise from the ashes of a nuclear atrocity wreaked upon our shores. And as before, with unrelenting determination, our nation will be forced to subjugate yet another threat to democracy, and likely it will be with a redeux of Sherman's march. Only this time, the swath of destruction shall be through the Middle East and all Islam will put paid to price of terrorism.

#12 Zenster, please, enough already.

All this from the man who last week was calling for the indiscriminate bombing of children in "kiddieswarms..."

In even extreme circles, that makes you an extremist, no?

Since you are so desperate for death and destruction Why dont you go to Iraq and kill as many muslims as you can. Maybe that will get it out your system.... Then you can come back and tell us all about it. ;-)

Another point. Just because there are bad muslims does not make all muslims bad. Just the same as a few bad US soldiers does not mean all US soldiers are bad. I think you are getting a little mixed up.

#13 Bravo...I think the point is unless the Arabic and Persian speaking countries clean up their collective islamo-cesspools quickly, somebody else is going to do it for them. And like Sherman's march through Georgia there will innocent bloodshed and collateral damage.

The sad part is that though the number of actual murdering, terrorists is small...the number who secretly and actively sympathize with them is quite large. I do not think it is absurd to believe that maybe 20% of the islamic world fall in this catagory. That's ballpark 200 million people. They are almost as dangerous as the bomb throwers because they provide support and money for the killers.

I say again...unless someone in the islamic world steps to plate and reigns this group into "the mainstream"...there will be massive bloodshed...and it's going to be disproportionately non-Western.

Ever consider the fact that maybe you are extremely stuck on stupid?

You neglect to observe how in that particular thread your @ss was thoroughly kicked by other people, including someone who actually has fought in Iraq.

Quite obviously, you also neglect to read any of my other posts. Otherwise, you would note how often I have to take issue with those who advocate first use of nuclear weapons against Iran and other Muslim countries. If you read my posts you would also understand that I do not relish any blind slaughtering of the Muslim world.

However, I also happen to be sufficiently schooled in world politics to know that Islam, in its current state, is positioned for a head-to-head confrontation with the West. Due to the incessant perfidy that Islam so readily employs, the outcome of this confrontation is less than optimistic.

I would prefer that Islam make a genuine and authentic rejection of violent jihad. To date, there has been absolutely ZERO indication of this happening. That being the case, what awaits is the West reaching a tipping point whereby the cost of coexisting with Muslims outweighs the moral or financial cost of simply exterminating them.

I do not relish or hungrily await such a catastrophe. I also happen to have the wits to know that such a tipping point is the most likely scenario. Peaceful coexistence is a ridiculous longshot, or did you get some other message from the cartoon jihad?

On the other side of that tipping point is blowing away car swarms that seek to disfigure the remains of our soldiers. Other measures might include taking possession of the shrines at Mecca and Medina and holding them hostage or simply making a list of rogue nations and informing them that they all will be subject to immediate annihilation if there is a single nuclear terrorist attack on American soil.

Sooner or later, the gloves will have to come off in the fight against Islamism. The very nature of Islam demands it. If you are sufficiently blind to where you cannot foresee this, that is your problem and not mine.
