Bleeding Hearts and Jihadi Revolving Doors

[namvet]

Sen. Joe Lieberman was right to sound the alarm about Yemen in the wake of the Undy-Bomber's Christmas Day terror attack over American skies. But he was wrong to call it "tomorrow's war." The Yemen-based jihadist network has been at war with us for years -- since before the Iraq and Afghanistan invasions, since before Sept. 11 and well before our current commander in chief had begun his vaunted work as a community organizer.

the craps are more concerned with $$$ and taxation than pesky terrorists. lets see if they stop counting long enough to pay attention here.

The bleeding-heart ostriches of the left are blaming (who else?) cowboy George W. Bush for radicalizing poor, oppressed Yemenis

but of course.

We've already had more terrorist incidents in one year of ISLAMObama than in the 8 Bush years since 2001. I can't wait to see how many more attacks/attempted attacks Obama will try to call isolated 'extremist' incidents this year?

I wonder why he can't bring himself to call a Muslim terrorist a Muslim terrorist? Too close to home, perhaps?

Indeed. Unless he is in on it. I wouldn't put it past him. You know Muslims are permitted to lie on behalf of jihad. It's in the Qur'an.

I cannot believe the terrorists are winning again. The cries and screams and stupid commentary has begun. If fear and name calling are their goal they win hands down. Flying is scary now, and of course we need our scapegoats, for someone has to be blamed, and it is sure isn't the occupation of foreign nations, but rather...well what is it exactly? Poor Janet, when solutions are hard, the stupid need someone to point their finger at as all the wingnuts are now. One has to wonder what comfort there is in this finger pointing? It sure makes us safe doesn't it.

Good stuff here: How should we respond to terrorist violence? : OUPblog

"The seven key elements in a response to terrorist violence, as I see them, are:

"First, learn to live with it. Politicians have all too often tried to give the impression of a resolve to uproot terrorism altogether, which is self-defeating and unrealistic. Individual terrorist campaigns will come to an end, terrorism itself will not, and our best approach is to minimize and contain it."

Terrorism Research - What is Terrorism?

"Terrorism is a criminal act that influences an audience beyond the immediate victim. The strategy of terrorists is to commit acts of violence that .draws the attention of the local populace, the government, and the world to their cause. The terrorists plan their attack to obtain the greatest publicity, choosing targets that symbolize what they oppose. The effectiveness of the terrorist act lies not in the act itself, but in the public’s or government’s reaction to the act. For example, in 1972 at the Munich Olympics, the Black September Organization killed 11 Israelis. The Israelis were the immediate victims. But the true target was the estimated 1 billion people watching the televised event."


"I consider Bush's decision to call for a war against terrorism a serious mistake. He is elevating these criminals to the status of war enemies, and one cannot lead a war against a network if the term war is to retain any definite meaning." Jurgen Habermas

WTF are you whining about? I remember a lot more than were listed. How about that muslim who thought he was going to blow up Dallas skyscrapers? Then there was that kid who flew a piper cub into a building. The LAX shooter, etc. If we're letting any more into the US that should be treated as treason.

[LibocalypseNow]

Good point Nam about how the Left is always out there apologizing for the Terrorists by claiming that their all just "Poor misunderstood & oppressed Yutes." I swear if i see another CNN Christine Amanpour show on how awful everyone is being to those poor misunderstood Muslim Yutes? The Left is just wrong and pretty simplistic when it comes to Jihadists. It is a Left Wing created stereotype that all Jihadists are just poor misunderstood & oppressed Muslim youths. Many are in fact quite wealthy and educated,like the recent Christmas Bomber was. Bin Laden himself comes from one of the most wealthy families on Earth.

The Left has created the whole "Poor Muslim Youth" myth to somehow justify their apologizing and appeasing. The Leftists and especially Amanpour have been proven wrong over and over again. Jihad is a way of life. It's a belief and it's not just for poor misunderstood Muslim youths. You have to first understand the problem before you can begin to face the problem. The Left clearly does not understand the problem. Unfortunately the Neocons don't fully understand the problem either. We need new leaders with fresh perspectives on the whole Jihad issue. I'm still waiting for these new leaders. Lets hope we don't have to wait much longer though because God knows the Leftists and Neocons are completely lost at this point.

 

[Truthmatters]

What you see as bleeding heart is what is known as KNOWING YOUR ENEMY.

You see it pays very well to KNOW the mindset of your opposition.

You then KNOW how they are motivated and how they think.

You Idiots just refuse to undrstand this because you just want to put on cowboy boots and clentch your fists and close your eyes and swing away.

You guys did that for eight years and the problem is still on the rise.

Time for the smart people to take a turn.

someone give Truthmatters an injection. he's suffering terminal stupid

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Well Truth,i would just say that you've watched way too many of those Christine Amanpour "Poor misunderstood & oppressed Muslim Yute" specials. That is a Left Wing created stereotype and has been proven to be wrong over and over again. Jihad is a way of life. It's a fanatical belief in an extremist version of Islam. Most brutal Muslim Terrorists in recent times have actually been quite wealthy and well educated. Just look at the most recent Christmas Bomber terrorist. The Left simply has it wrong. It seems they have created this "Poor Muslim Youth" myth to justify their own appeasement philosophy. It's also a way for them to face their fears and attempt to rationalize the irrational. Christine Amanpour and all Leftists simply have it wrong. Btw,Neocons also have it wrong. That's why it's time for new leaders. They both have approached this Jihad thing all wrong. Lets hope & pray we get those new leaders sooner rather than later.

1. More fatalities occur "each day" from auto accidents then occur from terrorism for the "whole year".

2. More fatalities occur worldwide each year from animal attacks then occur from terrorism.
( Stats for US Only 1882 deaths - 79/90)

3. More fatalities occur each year from falling down stairs (falling down) then occur from terrorism.
