America Rolls Over To Al-Qaeda

Topics: Political News and commentaries

(From the Islamists' perspective) the elections are over and America has fallen for the al-taqiyya and distortions of the Democratic Party, rolled over on their backs, and surrendered to al-Qaeda. Radical Islam has won a very important victory, and the West is now full on its way to defeat.

You are losing the war on terror - the one that people like Nancy Pelosi don't think exist. Mohammad and even al-Zarqawi are laughing their asses off from their graves - they now know that America is too weak to fight their ideology and that you will surely be defeated.

Look to see great celebrations throughout the Middle East, as the radical Islamists see America's election to be capitulation to radical Islams' agenda. Hezbollah has won a victory. Iran has won a great victory. Hamas has won a great victory. The terrorists that crashed the planes on 9/11 have won a great victory. The terrorist cells that sit quietly inside your borders waiting for their moment to bring the scenes of horror in the ME to your shopping malls and schools have won a great victory. And the insurgents in Iraq have won a great victory and have also been given a present to help them kill U.S. troops and recruit more terrorists to send to your shores - they can now say that they have destroyed America's will to fight and that the Great Satan is weak.

It was almost too easy for them, they just handed the Democrats propaganda to use in their talking points and to put out through the liberal media and influence the elections - just like they did in Spain.

Ironically, al-Qaeda has been using the talking points of the Democrats in helping them defeat the one party that stood in the way of radical Islam, and the Democrats in turn have used al-Qaeda's talking points that have supported radical Islam's agenda and snowed the American people.

Subject: Walk-the-Talk
Dear Abdul:

I would not get too despondent, just yet. The Democrats will now have to walk-the-talk. It is one thing to criticize Bush and his administration, but it is quite another to chart a new course to amelioration. I seriously doubt the Democrats have a course of action in mind.

The Democrats harped upon scandals and corruption. Truly, their party is no standard of excellence from which to eradicate those issues from the political sphere. In the next two years, the American voters will acquire the opportunity to refresh their minds about Democrats in action.

Nancy Pelosi, currently reveling in her moment, already has dispatched her spin-mongers into distancing herself from her San Francisco electorate (the freak & nut electorate) that spawned her. Nancy now re-claims her Maryland roots in order to enhance her acceptance into the Washington limelight. Humor may be the only attribute that we can expect from this creature from the Dark Side of society.

Yes, in the next few days, the Democrats will realize that they have to walk-the-talk. Shock will be the least of their worries ... and mindless rhetoric will not save them!

With Aloha,

The on-going celebrations by Jihadists, insurgents, and terrorists all throughout the world as I write this, should be a very telling sign of who has won and who has lost in these elections!

I hate to be a "prophet of doom" here, but this is far more ominous than most people believe it to be!

If emboldened by our lack of resolve, the Democrat's "defeatism," and their likely attempts now, to rescind the Patriot Act and dismantle all the anti-terrorist programs they object to so much, that the Bush Administration has put in place for our protection, we suffer another, and far worse 9/11, it may well trigger a visceral reaction from all the fed-up Americans that have been silenced by this political "Coup d'état" carried out by the Democrats and the liberal media, and I fear we may well be facing another Civil War, and or the intervention of our military, in order to dethrone the secularist, socialist, Democrats and put things back in order, for the sake of our very survival! And such ominous prospects are not encouraging!

If the shade of things to come does not alter...

I hate to think that such a thing may actually happen, but I'm sure that most of those young men and women, and their families, sacrificng their lives and spilling their blood in Iraq, fighting the Islamist enemy, will not take the Democrats
"defeatism" lightly, and allow them to make of their sacrifice a "mockery," just as they did with Viet Nam; and that we may well see them all organize and storm the halls of Congress to depose the "enemy within," and stamp out the traitorous, godless, immoral "Democrats" from the halls of Congress and from the face of America, for good!

I totally disapprove of such a radical course of action, but have to admit I won't be shedding any tears for Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy, Dick Durbin, Howard Dean, the Clintons, and their ilk interned in military camps awaiting to be Court-Martialled for "treason" by our military!

Subject: America Stands Up
From 1980 to 1988 Iran fought a bloody war with Iraq. The goals of Iran in that war were to get rid of Sadaam Hussein, make sure Iraq had no nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction that they could use against Iran, and to bring the Shiites to power.

Bush and the Republicans handed all Iran's goals to them on a silver platter.

A couple of years ago, one of Osama's main operatives in the Middle East was captured. During interrogation, he was asked why they attacked America in that way. He responded that their goal was to draw America into attacking a country in the Middle East, so that they would not only have access to attacking American soldiers directly, but also that such an attack was bound to enrage and enflame Muslims so that they would have many more people join their cause.

Bush and the Republicans played right into their hands.

From the Washington Post:
A 30-page National Intelligence Estimate completed in April cites the "centrality" of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and the insurgency that has followed, as the leading inspiration for new Islamic extremist networks and cells that are united by little more than an anti-Western agenda. It concludes that, rather than contributing to eventual victory in the global counterterrorism struggle, the situation in Iraq has worsened the U.S. position, according to officials familiar with the classified document.

So, far from dancing in the streets, the terrorists and insurgents woke up this morning to realize that their party is almost over. They've been feasting on the right-wing's idiotic support for a war that has given the terrorists more than they could have ever hoped for, while Americans have seen their Constitution treated as if it were a list of suggestions that could be ignored at will.

My faith in America is renewed this morning, that it is not Democrats that have beaten Republicans, but that the American people have seen through the Bush bulls***, have realized that the Republicans with their hypocrisy and corruption are bad for America, and have thrown the bums out.

# Posted by Rohidas at 11/08/2006 10:16 am - reply- forum

Rohidas, what has been renewed this morning is your idiocy! It will be "cut-and-run," "let's re-live our glorious defeat in Viet Nam," Democrats which will hand Iraq over on a "silver platter" to Iran if we pull out now before the job is done, and you know damn well that is precisely what the Democrats intend to do!

As to your lunatic statements about the Constitution, assigning "Constitutional rights" to enemy terrorist combatants is the most absurd travesty that twisted Democratic minds have ever come up with! It does not violate our Constitution
in the least to be "viglantly" pro-active in deterring terrorism as with the "Patriot Act," and the NSA and Swift programs! It is absurd to be discussing the philosophical abstract ideological niceties that so concern Democrats about such programs, when the end result of not implementing them would be only to make it easier for terrorists to carry out attacks against us, and harder for us to prevent them, further endangering the American people! How asinine is that?!?!

Soon the Dems will have us pull out of Iraq, cave in to Iran's nuclear aspirations, and the Caliphate will spread all throughout the Middle East, thanks to the Democrats! Al Qaeda has it's work cut out for them! They have the best "allies" they could have ever hoped for just take over our Congress!

I hate to put it like this, but America chose the Democrats and soon they will live, or rather
"die," to regret it! Just wait and see! God help us with these godless Democrats!!!

Subject: Yes
Althor, you sound very rational. It sounds so reasonable that Americans will die because the American people have woken up and voted their conscience. Many Republicans either stayed home, or voted for the Independant candidate.

Oh, and reall rational...godless Democrats. I assume you learned the word godless from Ann Coulter.

Do you realize that Democrats can't pull us out of Iraq tomorrow, or ever, for that matter, and many Republicans are calling for a sever change in Iraq, starting with Rummy losing his job. You, sir, are now in the minority. And I was hoping you would do what you claimed the Democrats didn't do in 2002 and 2004, which is accept defeat graciously.

I know it's lonely, you, Mr. and Mrs. Bush, Barney being the only who thinks that God has told Bush to do this war in Iraq.

So...GET OVER IT. You lost, and you lost BIG, and you lost big for a good reason.

The American people have finally woken up.

The real truth here is that Democrats and Republicans are the same thing - they are all Americans, and both are equally interested in what's best for America. It's not a question as to whether Democrats hate terrorists more than Republicans. The issue is simply one of strategy - what's the best way to go about countering this terrible force? I'm not saying I know the answer, nor am I claiming that Democrats have the answer. But what is crystal clear at this point is that the strategy adopted by the Bush administration is a disaster. It is causing more terrorism, not less. If you don't see this, you are hiding your head in the sand.

What the voters said yesterday is that we need a change. If you don't think so, I feel sorry for you. Because what Bush has done for the last 6 years has brought shame to our great country, and I can't see how anyone can call themselves patriotic if they want to continue down this path.

You call "shame" Bush having had the "cojones" to grab the bull by the horns and meet head-on this Islamist global threat thrust upon us on 9/11? You call "shameful" deposing Saddam and fighting the terrorists right in their lairs, instead of in our streets???

I guess your concept of "Pride" and "morality" is Clinton chasing interns and "nailing" them in the Oval office, instead of nailing Osama Bin Laden the "eight" times we had him in the crosshairs; which he failed to do!!!

Amazing!

"You call 'shame' Bush having had the 'cojones' to grab the bull by the horns and meet head-on this Islamist global threat thrust upon us on 9/11?"

If the Administration and the Republican congress were successful even once, you might have some grounds to stand on. But, in fact, they are a model of incompetence. Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, N. Korea ... you may be proud, but I have been ashamed for our country for the last 3.5 years. It only started to change this morning.

As for "pride" and "morality" ... are you serious?! Abramoff, Delay, Ney, Foley, Brownie, Haggard ... I would go on if I had the time. Clinton got a BJ from a consenting adult female. The Republicans, in contast, ass-raped the entire country.

And Clinton was ready to pull the trigger on OBL. He only needed the NSA to certify that the target had been acquired, but they wouldn't. And Clinton wasn't fool enough to call an airstrike on a sovereign nation, knowing what the Republican congress would do to him if he was wrong and out on a limb by himself.

Rohidas, you were right on, and civil about it. I commend you.

Althor, enjoy the grapes.

The real irony of Althor's claim about Clinton having Osama "in the crosshairs", aside from it being false (that's what happens when you get your facts from an ABC mockumentary), is that it was Bush who had Osama and about 3000 Taliban fighters cornered in Tora Bora in Nov. 2001, and he got away. That is somewhat understandable, as our troops were not familiar enough with the area. But the real crime is that by pulling our troops out of Afghanistan in order to fight in Iraq, we lost any real chance of catching him. That's the whole point of the anti-Iraq war side, that we attacked a country that had nothing to do with 9/11, and thereby lost any chance to not only capture bin Laden, but the thousands of real terrorists that were in the Taliban. History will show that it was Bush who let down America by not only letting the perpetrators of the worst crime in our history get away, but giving them an excuse to recruit thousands of additional terrorists.
And please keep in mind that the Clinton years were prior to 9/11, and we really had no idea yet of what was in store. Yet even so, Clinton actually put more effort into finding Bin Laden pre 9/11 than Bush has post 9/11. But before you jump on that statement, just remember that 9/11 was 5 years ago, and the perpetrator is still at large.

I just love this! The "Party of all things Immoral" pretending outrage about Republican
"immorality"??? The ones that not only love "ass raping" as you say, but want to make it into "Legal Unions" are the Democrats! Do I have to remind you that it was Gerry Studds who made it fashionable to be "gay" and banging Pages in Congress, taking his Pages to sodomize them in Portugal or Morocco so as to be able to get away with it??? Or Barney Frank's gay male prostituion ring using minors??? You have to be kiidding me! Republican "pecadilloes" pale in comparison to the outright sheer immoral Democratic indecency from President Clinton on down!!!

As to North Korea, I thought President Clinton and Madeleine Albright were the ones who had dealt with and created that mess with their wimpy 1994 treaty which was violated by the North Koreans from ther get-go, which Bush simply inherited. But perhaps you fault President Bush for not sending another "autographed basketball" to Kim Jong-il, and or keep sending him more oil and food subsidies, while the North Koreans quietly minded their business of building nuclear weapons!!!

And as to the grapes, go ahead and gloat and pat each other on your yellow streaked backs; it will be Democrats who will ultimately enjoy them when we are next attacked here at home under the auspices of the traitorous Democratic scum: "The Grapes of Wrath!!!

I am leaving this conversation. It's just not possible to have any kind of real dialog with someone who gets his information from the National Enquirer. Or maybe he just makes it up.

There is such a thing as truth, Althor, and I suggest you make more of an effort to find out if the what you are saying is really valid. I don't know you, but from your posts here you seem to be a combination of immature, ignorant, and uninformed. Your anger and your insults give you away.

All I know is that most of what you claim in your posts is simply not true. And it's just not possible to debate lies. I would suggest that instead of watching FOX news all day, get yourself a good history book. Find out what liberal democrats have accomplished in the 20th century, and compare it with conservative republicans. Add up the republican corruption and scandals of the past few decades, and compare it with the democrats. I doubt you will do this though. You would probably rather be watching Rush Limbaugh making fun of someone with Parkinson's disease.

This is my last post.

Bye.

Simply not true Rohidas? Why don't you put your money where your mouth is and simply point out to the "factual" innacuracies you have alleged to have found in my posts? Eh?

Seemns that to your ilk the "truth" is not what others would call "facts" but something very "subjective" made up of an amalgam of Moveon.org "propagandistic tripe," Democratic
"talking-points" and Bill Mahrer "punch-lines"!But the facts remain the facts, however you wish to spin them!

It doesn't surprise me that you would categorize me as "immature, ignorant, and uninformed." It's just the habitual Democratic "Elitism" that looks down on anyone who dares to challenge Democratic
"secularist Dogma" as ill informed, misguided and or "dumb" - as our troops, as Kerry recently called them! So what else is new???

What the "secularist" Democrats accomplished in the 20th century is the erosion and dismantling of the family, with their gay promoting
"alternate lifestyles" agenda and of the promiscuity associated with the "sexual revolution" they ushered in the 60s; their intrusion into the parenting of our children; their cheapening of American womanhood with their rabid "feminist" mores and "relativistic" amoral values into nothing more than unpaid prostitutes, who resort to "legalized murder of the unborn" as just another form of "birth control" instead of taking responsibility for their actions; who their condemning the black community to be nothing but a sub-culture of violence, drugs and rappers, trapped in their "Projects" and exploited by such "race card" wielding "Welfare Pimps" as all those black "irreverent" Reverends such as Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton; who have practically outlawed Christmas and evey other Judeo-Christian American tradition and or social observance on account of their "godless agenda" and "secular zeal;" who have consistently sided with the enemies of America and openly condemn and hate all America has traditionally stood for; who brought about the mass murder of millions of innocent people by Pol Pot in Cambodia as a collateral of their cut-and-run cowardice in Viet Nam; who would like the United States to disappear and be replaced with a Socialist styled State; who value the "civil rights" and creature comforts of murderous terrorists far more than safeguarding American lives; who despise our military and have called them "baby killers," and "murderers," "rapists" who "terrorize Iraqi women and children in the middle of the night"; and I could go on, and on, and on....

And as to Michael J. Fox, he has lived a privileged life most of us will never know, enjoying celebrity, fame, and wealth, and now when he's stricken with a disease such as many others are, he is just so selfishly intent in prolonging his worthless "privileged" life... at the expense of "other life"?!?! And it is abhorrent that he should have affected an election that by empowering the Democrats, who will do their utmost to rescind and dismantle from the "Patriot Act" to every other terrorist surveillance program enected by the Bush Administration to protect us, will most likely result in another and far worse 9/11 attack on our soil; all because we must find a cure for him to keep enjoying his "privileged" life!!! Once he chose to enter the political arena for his own selfish self interest, he's fair game to any and all appropriate criticism, "shaking" or not!

Okay, I believe you. I've checked out all the facts from the last post and you're 100% correct.

Black people have outlawed Christmas, democrats don't pay prostitutes and Michael J. Fox is responsible for the next 9/11. It's all totally verifiable.

"I could go on, and on, and on.... "

Oh, please do. I think you should have a podcast!

Railroad Stone, perhaps if you learn to read:

The "who" refers to secularist Democrats.

Blacks have been victimized by the Democrats who take them for granted and have basically relegated the black community, as I said: "to be nothing but a sub-culture of violence, drugs and rappers, trapped in their "Projects" and exploited and dependent on such "race card" wielding "Welfare Pimps"...as Jesse Jackson, and Al Sharpton"!

About Christmas, the Democrats over-zealous, anti-Christian, secularist agenda has in fact practically outlawed Christmas and other symbols of our Judeo-Christian heritage from the Public Square! Are you going to deny it?

And as for Michael J. Fox, just as with the so called "butterfly effect" his injecting himself into these last elections in favor of the Democrats, for self-serving reasons, was one of the contributing factors that helped the Democrats win, and if the Democrats in fact do repeal the "Patriot Act" and dismantle the NSA and Swift programs and all the other surveillance programs that so far have kept us safe, and as a result we wind up with another 9/11 terrorist attack on our soil, then it follows, that yes, Michael J. Fox would have had his "two cents" worth into what ultimately made that attack more likely to happen!

Isn't it wonderful when Democrats like you choose to read what they "wish" to see into what is written? That is the way they also "interpret" our Constitution!

More Britons are turning to terror, says MI5 director

By Michael Evans

1,600 suspects under surveillance
30 plots to kill, maim, damage
200 terror groups or networks

Hundreds of young British Muslims are being radicalised, groomed and set on a path to mass murder, the head of MI5 said yesterday.
In a stark public warning, Dame Eliza ManninghamBuller, the Director-General of MI5, revealed that the Security Service’s caseload had risen by 80 per cent since January and now involved about 30 “Priority 1” plots.

It has identified 200 terrorist networks involving at least 1,600 people, many under the direct control of al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan.

“More and more people are moving from passive sympathy towards active terrorism through being radicalised or indoctrinated by friends, families, in organised training events here and overseas,” she said. “Young teenagers are being groomed to be suicide bombers.”

Dame Eliza said that she was alarmed by the “scale and speed” of the radicalisation, which security sources later said had intensified since the 7/7 bombings. “It is the youth who are being actively targeted, groomed, radicalised and set on a path that frighteningly quickly could end in their involvement in mass murder of their fellow citizens, or their early death in a suicide attack or on a foreign battlefield,” she said.

“Killing oneself and others in response is an attractive option for some citizens of this country and others around the world. [The] threat is serious, is growing and will, I believe, be with us for a generation. It is a sustained campaign, not a series of isolated incidents. It aims to wear down our will to resist.”

Dame Eliza admitted that, despite a major recruitment drive, just 6 per cent of MI5’s staff came from ethnic minorities. This compares with 8 per cent in the Metropolitan Police. Security sources insisted that change was happening and, of 400 people recruited this year, 14 per cent were from ethnic minority groups.

Dame Eliza’s comments came in an address to a discreet audience from the Mile End Group run by Peter Hennessy, Professor of Contemporary British History at Queen Mary, University of London.

She timed her stark assessment to coincide with the conviction of Dhiren Barot, the al-Qaeda planner who was jailed for 40 years this week for plotting car bomb and dirty bombs attacks in London.

Comment: Obviously, a similar trend will evolve in the United States. Welcome to Washington, DC, Democrats!

With Aloha,

In her speech she said the methods used by terrorists had become more sophisticated.

“Today we see the use of home-made improvised explosive devices,” she said.

“Tomorrow’s threat may, and I suggest will, include the use of chemical, bacteriological agents, radioactive materials and even nuclear technology,” she said.

Her assessment of 30 Prior- ity 1 plots is a significant increase on the 24 “major conspiracies” referred to by John Reid, the Home Secretary, in August.

Both police and security sources have given warning that Britain has become the No 1 target for al-Qaeda.

The significant Muslim population and the constant flow of British-born Pakistanis visiting their families in Pakistan every year have been cited as providing al-Qaeda with opportunities for converting young people to terrorism.

“My officers and the police are working to contend with some 200 groupings or networks, totalling over 1,600 identified individuals (and there will be many we don’t know) who are actively engaged in plotting or facilitating terrorist acts here and overseas,” Dame Eliza said.

Those terror networks “often have links back to al-Qaeda in Pakistan and, through those links, al-Qaeda gives guidance and training to its largely British foot soldiers here on an extensive and growing scale”.

The head of MI5’s speech, which was approved by ministers, comes after recent warnings given by Peter Clarke, head of Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism Command, and by Mr Reid. They both said that the terrorist threat would be long and enduring.
