Here’s the rare jihadi interview that gets more interesting as it goes along. It starts with the obligatory killer robot but then branches out to look at the “educational” culture he comes from — intercut with shots of Taliban guerrillas using high-tech rocket launchers. The perfect model of a Steynian sophisticated primitive.

These are the people to whom, according to John Reid, we’re losing the war of ideas. Click the image to watch.

FYI, attacks on allied troops have tripled since that “peace in our time” bargain struck between Musharraf and the tribal elders last month.

Update: Speaking of sophisticated primitives, jihadi doctors would rather see their patients die than eat during Ramadan.

…jihadi doctors would rather see their patients die than eat during Ramadan.

You know, I tend to agree, providing that the patients are indeed jihadis themselves.

Wow AP…didn’t know you liked Greg Dulli, et al.

War of Ideas?!?

Tightly Coupled, Loosely Cohesive, I’d say.

Also relevant is Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister Barham Salih’s warning against defeatism and panic. The clown should have been on his knees begging for forgiveness for his country’s lame, and ineffective attempts to end the violence! Instead, he took the more liberal stance of give peace a chance. Butthead!

The wait-and-see approach stinks! Fight violence with violence as that seems to be all they understand over there. Wait-and-see sounds like disarming our peace police officers to see if that will reduce violent crime.

Didn’t they promise to hit us doing Ramadan?

Yawn…

It seems they adhere to the philosophy that ‘the people are responsible for their own governments’……gee isn’t that what the Allies said in WWII? Something we seem to have forgotten. Relativism will destory us all…..

Taliban vows to strike in U.S., Britain

I guess Nancy Pelosi is right – the War on Terror is just in Afghanistan.

Taliban:

“Yes it’s acceptable to kill ordinary people”

America(n Conservatives):

“Yes it’s acceptable to torture those who would kill us.”

America(n Liberals):

“No, we need to talk, and understand our muslim enemies, then they will like us again.”

Do men wear the veil?

It’s all apart of the understanding and exfoliation of our way of life.

Stick you arse in the air and submit. Allah Akbar

Stike the U.S. and Britian? From where, your cave? ppppffftttt

May several American bullets riddle your unclean body and not hit any major organs. Die a slow, painful death. Say hi to your 72 pig-men in hell for me. Loser.

Taliban terrorists only need to spend few bucks if they wish to cross the border, and smuggle in some bombs. From Newsmax

More than 200 Americans on the public payroll have been convicted of taking bribes from narcotics smugglers or illegal immigrant traffickers during the past two years, according to a wide-ranging probe by the Los Angeles Times.

The disturbing figure is double that of prior accounts and it appears thousands more officials are under investigation for being on the take along the U.S.-Mexico border.

But, these are the people who want to do the jobs that Americans refuse to do, right? [sarc. off]

We need to get down and dirty with this sub-simian scum… And why is it that journalists can find these ass-hats and our forces can’t?

One good thing you can about these nuts: at least they have the courtesy to blow themselves up and rid the world of yet, one more lunatic.

thedecider on October 23, 2006 at 8:12 PM

They certainly won’t blow up from overeating…not during the most holy month of Ramalaladingdong. Oh wait, is it Eid (EAT) already?
