#1 "The largest batch of soldiers for jihad . . . in the history of Iraq are graduating and they have the highest level of competence in the world."

Actually what is happening is similar to the what happened on the Western Front during WWI: Any Jihadi who sticks his head up is getting it blown off. People have been predicting that all these "expert terrorists" would return from Iraq to their home countries. It hasn't happened. How could that be?

If all these Jihadis are so enthusiastic, why do they have to be handcuffed to the steering wheel of their VBIEDs?

Op Editors and News Editors for NYSLimes, BBC, MSMBC, cBS, ABC, PBS, al-Rooters, CNN, allah-AP etc. Hold regular Round Table negoiations with their Islamic Terrorist Media Counterparts, [sic Political Organs of the Islamic ~~Bowel~~ Movement] in-order to synchronize terrorist attacks with broadcast and copy deadlines.

Why may you ask.. to get Hilda-Beast elected Prez of the United States of America.

#4 Hold on, it's not just Dem talking points, it's the preposterous s**t that is sometimes "leaked" to the WaPo/NYT by someone in the "intelligence" community. Curiously, they never cite any facts, or even concrete assumptions, that might underly the conclusion that war in Iraq "creates terrorists".

It's a "university" where 1) most of the "graduates" probably die or end up in custody; 2) we learn as much or more than they do through their presence and activities (probably more - while the enemy constantly comes up with new ways to inflict casualties that are not material to the military outcome, they've done bupkis to change their utter inability to confront us conventionally); 3) good luck applying your "degree" against opponents who, unlike the US, still believe that war is about will and use of force - not many Jordanian or Moroccan or Indian or Chinese interior security types would ever blab something like "there is no military solution" - they know there is, and unlike us they'd take decisive action.

Besides, a few guys who know how to rig truck bombs is literally no big deal - the elimination of the most likely source of WMD capacity for non-state actors is a huge, huge deal. Kinda the whole point - not that you could get an administration official to explain it, even at gunpoint .....

#6 mine was tongue in cheek Verlaine, they [MSM & Terrorist] are soul mates in craven spirt in that the terrorists sell copy and programing,.. that said I doubt if they [MSM] EVER have had even one conference call with the Islamo-puds.

;-)

although I swear that MSM, Pols and Academe have their EGOS on the line big time having bet long ago that the WOT is a big fat failure..not enuff nuance you see...

#7 Yes Verlaine, you are on topic, and I quite agree the Islamo-tard grads are mostly dead, mangled or in one of the huge camps in the desert. So much for the finishing skool. It's more like the finished skool.

I cut and pasted GolfBravoUSMC's topic and was expounding on it.
