Laura Mansfield is working on a translation as I write this.

I wonder if Strategic Translations (“StratTrans”?) could be wooed as an advertiser on HotAir. Of course, maybe your mention was itself a “paid product placement.” :-) If so, it was effective; this is the first time I can recall having been made aware of the existence of Strategic Translations.

That rant is agreeing with you, not targeted at you.

I’m really getting annoyed by the silence and/or absence of conservative voices in this country.

The creeping cowardice I’ve seen lately, on both sides of the political fence sickens me.

I heard a RINO speaking on TV today assuring me that he ‘genuinely disagreed with the surge plan’.

Great. So WTF do you propose that would have a better chance of actual undeniable victory in Iraq and the greater ME?

Criticize, if you must, but damnit at least bring some proposed solutions along with that criticism.

Failure is simply not a sane or conscionable option, and is in no way in the interests of the United States in particular, and Western Civilization in general.

He then turns to the American people, reminding of past offers of security by reaching an “understanding” with Muslims,

Don’t forget he is still awaiting a reply from the Democrats for getting them elected…………

I wasn’t overly alarmed when the story broke earlier today, as reported by ABC News. After all, these people never will stop trying to kill Americans, be it here or abroad. What I do find annoying is we’re well past the five-year anniversary of 9/11 …

Yep…too busy sending out their pollsters to see if the sky really fell, and if so just where they should stand to avoid soiling themselves. Take a poll damnit!

I get the impression that very few of you actually watch the clips, which, admittedly, are monotonous in the extreme.

That comes from reading the Koran – the most redundant book ever written – four hundred pages of “praise Allah and kill the infidels.”

Bring ‘em on, says Ayman Zawahiri….

[The videos on other HotAir posts have been excellent with legible subtitles]

Question: should I bother cutting the video when it’s available? I get the impression that very few of you actually watch the clips, which, admittedly, are monotonous in the extreme. Maybe we’ll stick to a transcript this time unless he really emotes it and I just can’t resist.

Given the choice, I’d much prefer the video to just a transcript. But I can’t speak Arabic or Pashtu or Farsi, so I need subtitles to go along with the original video.

Unfortunately, the videos that I have seen have illegible subtitles. So for me, they really aren’t worth much.

So it goes…

Anyway, I know you don’t actually make the vidoes/subtitles or transcripts. You just post what is out there. But yeah. I don’t know what the other readers are doing. But I always go to the original if I can.

Al Qaeda deputy to U.S.: If we are killed, you will be killed (CNN) — In a video released Monday, al Qaeda’s second in command ridicules President Bush’s plan to send more U.S. troops to Iraq and predicts a fate…

Democrat, and once again on the same side of the issue as Al Qaeda leadership. Granted this time Zawahiri is arguing that they’ll defeat the US military, and in past instances of this unholy alliance we’ve seen the Democrats take virtually identical positions to terrorist groups… it’s still worth pointing out.

The RINOs are also on the side of the enemy. I’m really getting annoyed by the silence and/or absence of conservative voices in this country.

And I’m not even epileptic.

He really needs a better recruitment video.

Even so, the action taken by Collins, Coleman and him (Warner) raised the number of Senate Republicans publicly opposed to the president’s plan to five. Sens. Chuck Hagel (news, bio, voting record) of Nebraska and Olympia Snowe (news, bio, voting record) of Maine have said they back the Democrats’ resolution.
