		<description>[...] Ms. Pelosi and the rest of the anti-war crowd had better consider the full picture. Did the Congress who cut off funding to South Vietnam really consider the repercussions of that act? Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese were sent to reeducation camps or killed. Are we more likely to see &#8220;reeducation camps&#8221; in Iraq, or mass graves? Does it behoove us to prove Osama bin Laden correct when he called us &#8220;paper tigers&#8221; and to validate Nasrallah&#8217;s statement to Muslims that we will abandon them, just like we abandoned the Vietnamese? It&#8217;s time for the so-called &#8220;reality-based&#8221; community to live up to its name. Whether or not they agree with how we got to Iraq, or whether they think we should be in Iraq, simply leaving has consequences that must be taken into account. This is too important an issue to allow it to be driven by polls, especially when the poll respondents are informed by a media with a clear anti-war agenda. [...]</description>

		<description>[...] Update: Here&#8217;s a crafty bit of rhetoric that shows once again how keen Shiite jihadists are to undermine faith in America among their constituents. The execution on Saturday of ousted Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein shows the true nature of the United States, said Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday. &#8220;The execution of Saddam has proven that trusting the United States is not convenient,&#8221; said the president, referring to the Iran-Iraq war in 1980-88 during which, he alleged, Washington encouraged Saddam in going to war with Tehran but then ousted him from power in 2003 &#8220;when he wasn&#8217;t useful anymore.&#8221; [...]</description>

		<description>Between &quot;Hanoi John&quot; Kerry and a barbarian living in cave, who needs to spend money on campaign ads.


Nasrallah tells Muslims, U.S. will abandon you — just like they abandoned Vietnam.


Thank you Kerry and Nasallah, you both made the Pubs election day come true.

		<description>[...] What these &#8220;operative/strategist&#8221; knuckleheads don&#8217;t seem to grasp is that if we did what it took to WIN, not only would terrorism be defeated, but they&#8217;d have the support of the people again. It&#8217;s weakness we hate, not the war, you twits! For example, when Moqtada al Sadr openly fights against our troops, don&#8217;t call him an &#8220;opposition leader.&#8221; Call him &#8220;the late Moqtada al Sadr.&#8221; He&#8217;s not even hiding in any serious way, we could certainly kill him and his subordinates if we decided to do it. Who took Zarqawi&#8217;s place? No, not him, we killed him, I&#8217;m talking about the guy after that! My point is that while a dead terrorist may well be replaced by another terrorist, the new guy is less experienced, less effective, and more easily killed. As is his successor. We need to not allow terrorism to work. We need to prove to the Iraqis who support the democratic process that they will not be abandoned, and to those that don&#8217;t that their position is untenable. [...]</description>

		<description>If we pull out of Iraq for any reason other than Iraq being able to stand and survive on its own, it will be perceived (rightly) as the biggest jihadist victory in history. They will have indeed defeated the great satan.

And we will have the cowardly democrats and &#039;tired of the war&#039; republicans to blame for it.

With the current attitudes of many in this country, we would not be able to win a real war, like WWII, and something so much bigger is headed directly our way. 

I am disgusted at the cowardice that is so common today.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Starblazer: Maybe they hate us because of McDonalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken. 

JadeNYU on November 6, 2006 at 8:03 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;
JadeNYU, maybe they hate Americans for the reason they claim:  Americans are infidels.  They variously refuse to believe in the existence of their Allah, His uniquely divine status, the status of Mohammed as the final Prophet, the divine inspiration of the Koran, or the divine mandates of Sharia.

You know, I hate Islam as much or more than anyone, but I also take muslims&#039; own religious faith as seriously, or more seriously, than anyone as motivating Islamic terrorism, muslims&#039; support of terrorism or their quiet acceptance of it, their anti-Semitism, and their all-too-easy murder, rape, and robbery of non-muslims.  &lt;em&gt;There is no difficulty discovering why muslims hate infidels or at least quietly put up with the crimes committed against them; there is just a widespread difficulty taking religious belief and the hope of Paradise seriously as human motives.&lt;/em&gt;</description>

Can&#039;t speak for anyone else, but I found it hillarious.  Great find!

As to the topic at hand, only the willfully stupid believe one side of a story without investigation.  That goes for far right wing as well as far left wing.  The info is out there for anyone with the desire to dig a little.

Everything I&#039;ve seen so far is that the Islamic terrorist hierarchy support (or at least hope for) a Democratic Party win.  As a registered independant, that gives me pause.  I read KP&#039;s website faithfully to get a &lt;em&gt;sane&lt;/em&gt; idea of what Democrats are thinking.  I still haven&#039;t seen on any Democratic site what they actually think of terrorists hoping their party wins.  Doesn&#039;t this give any of them pause too?</description>

		<description>[...] &#8230; so be careful how you make it. Excellent catch by Allahpundit at Hot Air, via MEMRI, of Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah (leader of Hezbollah), expounding on the lesson he (and his ilk) learned from Vietnam.  In our childhood, when we were young boys, I cannot forget the sight of American forces leaving Vietnam in helicopters, which carried their officers and soldiers. Some Vietnamese, who had fought alongside the Americans, tried to climb into these helicopters, but the (Americans) threw them to the ground, abandoned them, and left. [...]</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I wonder how many jihadis interviewed by WND told them they didn’t care who won, or that they were pulling for the GOP because the troop presence in Iraq helps for recruiting.

Bad form that WND did not respond to Allahpundit&#039;s inquiry.</description>

		<description>Professor Blather, Lebanon used to be one of the most cosmopolitan and western of the MidEast nations.  Yet it certainly seems to be taking many steps backwards.

Your point about capitalism being a very powerful force for change is certainly valid.  But it is most certainly not a guarantee.

Democracy and capitalism are powerful forces.  But their are many other powerful cultural and religeous forces out there.  

I have heard international business professors talk about how increased business ties make war less and less likely.  Sometimes they will start going so far as to say that international trade will go so far as to make war between nations impossible.

I don&#039;t believe it.  I look at history and see all sorts of examples of nations that went to war with each other despite having strong trade ties.

US vs England in 1776 and 1812.  England was certainly a big trading partner.  Yet war broke out.

US vs Japan 1941.  We certainly traded alot with Japan prior to WWII.  In fact, it was Roosevelts cutting off of trade with Japan that helped lead to war.

France and Germany and England, 1939.  All three of these countries traded with each other.  Far more than they did with other, more distant countries like Bolivia.  And yet they too went to war.

Basically, it is simply an article of faith with international business types that international trade make war &quot;impossible.&quot;  But that is all it is.  An article of faith.  

If you go up to an economist, and try to tell him that interest rates have no effect on employment, he can and will spend hours showing otherwise, and will be able to provide graphs, charts, and mathematical equations to make his point.

But with the whole &quot;international trade makes war impossible&quot;, if you deny this, a international business professor will simply say &quot;yes it does.&quot;  And if you disagree, he will just shake his head harder and say a little louder that &quot;increased international trade makes war impossible.&quot;  And if you just keep saying no, and ask him to prove it, eventually, he will get very angry, stamp his feet and change the subject.  But not until he get the last word in.

Because it&#039;s just an article of faith for him.  Just like the Holy Trintity is an article of faith with Christians.  Its difficult to explain.  It&#039;s just an article of faith, and Christians tend to get grumpy if you just keep asking &quot;but &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;why&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; does their need to be a Trintity?&quot; when they try to explain it.</description>

		<description>Starblazer&lt;blockquote&gt;Yakko - it called “Cut &amp; Run” not “strategic redeployment”&lt;/blockquote&gt;Since the Dems and their Lamestream Media shills are claiming &lt;em&gt;with certainty&lt;/em&gt; that &quot;cut &amp; run&quot; really does mean &quot;strategic redeployment&quot;, I think we should more properly use &quot;bugging out&quot;.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt; Nasrallah tells Muslims, U.S. will abandon you — just like they abandoned Vietnam&lt;/blockquote&gt;

...can we find a way to broadcast this to all potential voters.

Pooooooor Nasrallah!  Pooooooor Lebanon!  Naaaaaaasty Israel!  Boooooooo-bloody-hooooooo!

Why can&#039;t the Dems just shut up and *listen* to what these guys are saying!  

Redeploy?  Sure thing!  I&#039;m for redeploying to Nasrallah&#039;s house to rearrange his furniture...using every means at our disposal to change his mind...from an internal to an external organ!</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;AND…the stock market will tumble. 

SouthernGent on November 6, 2006 at 3:54 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Of course it will, SouthernGent.  If we lose, Karl and GWB will lose interest in manipulating the economy anymore.  I mean, geez, they&#039;ve brought oil down, made the stock market rise, made the Fed keep interest rates flat the last couple of meetings and most importantly, they kept that damned Dixie Chicks movie out of my local cinema!

They have to be tired by now.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I wonder how many jihadis interviewed by WND told them they didn’t care who won, or that they were pulling for the GOP because the troop presence in Iraq helps for recruiting.

Allahpundit on November 6, 2006 at 3:31 PM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Well, it depends on what sort of Jihadis they interviewed.  Most of the night letters found in Muslim villages tend to paint the picture in very broad terms.  Muslim vs Crusaders.  America is mentioned, yet they are just as likely to refer to us as generic crusaders or infidels.  

These of course are aimed mostly at the lower rungs of the jihadists.  Your typical villager/fighter.  References to national elections or a political party?  Almost certainly not.  These night letters showed no indication that they were following American politics.  Just like if you go to a typical American bar and start asking people about elections or political parties in Venezuela or Thailand or Afghanistan, almost no-one will be able to tell you any specifics, beyond a possible vauge awareness that there are elections of some sort, and that they hope democracy flourishes.

But the higher you go in the their heirarchy, the more they focus on international politics and elections.  So Nasrallah or bin Laden of course will follow this very closely and be very interested in a democratic victory or a republican victory.  Just like George Bush has a keen interest in the Iraq elections and exactly who is getting elected.</description>
