So, go screw yourself, I guess?

Your original “Muslims killing muslims” comment seemed dismissive — as if it didn’t matter that over 100 people were killed, since they were just muslims. If that wasn’t your point, then I apologize for the strong language, WisCon.

Only kooks from other religions go berserk and murder like this. In Islam it’s almost mainstream. WHAT you believe in matters.

Sure, but that runs very close to the liberal position that we should pull out now, since the situation is un-fixable due to the death-cult kool-aid running through radical Islam. I don’t buy it. I prefer to believe that most people in the Middle East are very much like you and I. We can distinguish between predators and ordinary muslims by imposing basic and just law and order. If we leave, scenes like this recent bombing play out all over the country.

Think of the example of Japan. Their culture was dominated by a warlike spirit throughout World War II. You could not have found a less likely environment for constitutional democracy than an Emperor-worshipping death cult with an attitude of racial superiority. And yet, within a generation, they were a peaceful democracy.

The religion of dead civilians (shoppers, construction workers) is irrelevant. You are an embarrasment to conservatives everywhere.

I disagree. The reason they’re dead is because the Muslim mass murderers believed that they would get to heaven for killing. Only Muslims believe this, and they believe it because it’s in the Koran. Only kooks from other religions go berserk and murder like this. In Islam it’s almost mainstream. WHAT you believe in matters.

Pelosi declines invitation from Petraeus

He’s got Bush cooties. Anyway, now that Pelosi is the shadow Sec-State, why not also become the shadow Sec-Def?

ZZZzzzzzzzzzzz…….

It’s the Koran, stupid.

The playbook the the pedophile warlord murders onward.

As for the current high level of violence, it is al Qaeda’s counter-offenive to the new strategy and the new U.S. commander General Petraeus. Did you think that they would go away quietly? No, they intend on killing and maiming as many as possible to cause hand-wringing defeatists in the UNited States to run away ao that the democratically lelecte dIraqi government can be otherthrown and a radical Islamist, terror-sponsoring state be in Iraq instead. We are dealing with a deeply evil enemy.

Because we’re in the middle of it.

You know, the BDS left made an entire election campaign out of declaring that the reasons for going to Iraq made no sense, and keep changing after the fact.

But the reasons for leaving — as stated by the left — seem to change moment-by-moment, too, depending on the day’s news. Today’s position is that the left wants us out of Iraq because “we’re in the middle of a civil war”, which suggests that the left is now committed to an isolationist policy, within our borders. Quite a shift from Kosovo, Haiti, etc. and the concurrent calls for military action in Darfur.

It also seems to be in contrast to their stated position on Afghanistan, which I think is “kill Bin Laden and every memeber of the Taliban, even if you have to invade Pakistan to do so”.

honora, if a Dem ends up in the White House in 2009, what will your foreign policy position be then, beyond a firm commitment never to cross France, Germany, China and Russia (our “friends”)?

More Muslims killing Muslims. Bush is certainly to blame though.

I generally live by the maxim, “Post or e-mail nothing you wouldn’t want to see on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.” Try it sometime.

Screw you, WisCon. This is an example of evil men targeting the innocent. Your comment is on a par with the Palestinians who were celebrating and passing out candy to the kids after hearing the news on 9/11.

Anton on April 18, 2007 at 4:53 PM

I don’t know what you are talking about as I am not celebrating anything. I am pointing out that these fanatics are killing their own bretheren, but that in the end we (the U.S. and Bush) are the ones that get blamed for it. This will be used as further evidence that the surge isn’t working and that we need to leave.

So, go screw yourself, I guess?

178 IRAQIs were killed. Americans are there to try and stop this kind of thing. I would love to hear a logical explanation of how Americans not being there would improve things.

You have just revealed the sillyness of the left-America hating. It doesn’t matter how many killed or what bad things are happening in the world. It is just that as long the Americans are in any way involved then you can blame everything on them! Nevermind that all parties involved in the incident are IRAQI!

Somebody needs to vomit right down her lapel.

They blow each other up.

Why exactly is the left pissed off again?

Ringmaster on April 18, 2007 at 4:01 PM

Because we’re in the middle of it.

We all know how that “most honest, most open, and most ethical Congress in history…” went. Now Nancy is reaching for the title of “most politically dense Speaker in history”.

Scheduling? Maybe she should have just said outright – “He has nothing to tell us we haven’t already made up our minds on.”

More Muslims killing Muslims. Bush is certainly to blame though.

Drudge: still nothing. Surely this development in Iraq should be enough to bump Simon from American Idol off the Drudge front page?

Score another scoop for HotAir.

Hot Air has the details…….

Nor should any of this be surprising. AQ has looked for and found soft spots in the new Baghdad plan. The US-Iraqi forces will learn from and adjust to it, while adding thousands of additional troops. Meanwhile, the radical Sunni and Shia blocs are fracturing as more Iraqis tire of terror and revenge, and seek to join the political process. Somehow, the MSM is trying to paint that as a bad thing.

Savages.
