War is not won when you kill the last person. It is won when you break the will of a people.

What the Muslims know is that it does not take much to break the will of America and England. You just sever some heads, blow things up, and put it on the internet and watch the infidels (you and me) cower and run.

Somalia and now Iraq.

We had our chance to slow the spread of Islamic lunacy. We have blown it through not the weakness of our military, but the spinelessness of our people.

We are now guranateed more subway bombings and World Trade Centers. They were happening anyway, now they will happen bigger and more often as the non-Muslim infidels have been defeated.

And, by the way, you can call it what you want, but phase-down, pull-out, ceilings, etc. all announce very effectively that we are defeated, and it did not take much to do it.

Our total casualties equal only a tiny fraction of a single WW2 battle’s casualties. The stakes are much higher.

We had out chance to slow or stop the 3rd rise of the Ottoman Empire, we have now blown it.

Meanwhile our enemies need look no further than to the naieve’ dialogue like is on this page to get the day’s courage to go kill more of our troops. They see the articles and polls on the internet just like we do. They see that the infidels are soft and have no purpose.

We are losing because we want to lose.

Death and dissarray is our future.

The threat of Islam is a manufactured fallicy from the right.

They will fade away naturally. There is no need to oppose it or try to stop it.

Remember all the paranoia about the Russian communist threat. Nothing came from it.
Remember all the paranoia in England about the Nazi’s trying to overthrown them. Nothing ever came from it. Do you see English duck-stepping about London?!

The Islamic bolsterings and attacks of the last few decades will go away on their own. It is a natural thing.

For awhile we may have to endure an Islamic state in some countries. I don’t care. The Christians have tried to persuade us to their camp for long enough.

Besides, having women in burkahs is kind of cool when you think about it.

They should not be over there anyway.

Hey, there’s an idea. These conservative idiots should go hang out with their Saudi buddies and get kidnapped. Think the US would come up with the ransom? Nope.

Not my problem. Out of sight, out of mind.

The whole Bush Team “Let’s deal with them now so we don’t have to fight them later” position, I don’t get and don’t buy.

I don’t have kids and I don’t care what comes down the road. I’d rather have assured peace now and POSSIBLY deal with problems later than have problems now.

Besides, with the increased freedom of speech and press and internet access in these places, these people are going to realize that Islam and the whole martyr virgin thing is bogus.

They will see through the Allah thing and stop going after everyone who is not them. To borrow a phrase from Bushville: “History will prove us right.”

“Whodathunkit???”

A smack of the forehead and a hearty “D’oh.” and voila!!! instant absolution from responsibility and accountability…

…the good news is it seems to be working less and less.

FANTASTIC quote…

Now we learn that Iran was willing to be helpful back in 2003 but that Dick Cheney would have none of that. As they say, and the rest is history.

Doctors issue plea to Tony Blair to end the scandal of medical shortages in the war zone

The desperate plight of children who are dying in Iraqi hospitals for the lack of simple equipment that in some cases can cost as little as 95p is revealed today in a letter signed by nearly 100 eminent doctors.

They are backed by a group of international lawyers, who say the conditions in hospitals revealed in their letter amount to a breach of the Geneva conventions that require Britain and the US as occupying forces to protect human life.

* In the same hospital, a baby with a rare illness causing internal bleeding died due to lack of a phial of vitamin K, which would have cost less than £1.

* One doctor in a Baghdad hospital recently tried to save the life of a child with a drip, but he lacked a sterile needle for a child and the child died. The lack of rubber surgical gloves, which cost 3.5p a pair, has hugely increased the risk of infections.

* Premature babies are crammed three to an incubator, when an incubator can be found. An incubator costs about £5,000.

* Only 50 per cent of the pre-war total of doctors remain in Iraq. The US clearout of Ba’ath party members sympathetic to Saddam Hussein after the invasion has led to a breakdown of health administration.

* The British doctors are calling for guarantees of safety to be given to all medical staff in Iraq by the US and British forces. Above all there is a need to stop the militias killing doctors and nurses.

* Hospitals have been bombed and ambulances shot at. Helicopters could be laid on by the US and UK to ferry cases to Jordan, Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia for treatment of acute trauma and disease.

* Doctors are calling on Britain and America to restore at least $2bn (£1bn) of $14bn that has gone missing since the invasion. Part of this sum, lost in corruption or to militias, was earmarked for hospitals.

* Up to 260,000 children may have died since the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Tony, has the correct recollection – - just no sense of time.

Some here seem to be grabbing that straw and shoving it into their own heads.

Why must the right to bear arms be not infringed? (Hint: read the first clause in the sentence, Pastuer!!)
