Even If We Leave Now, We'll Be Back

The Coming Of Gulf War III By David Rothkopf
Strategic redeployment. Phased drawdown. Exit strategy. However one phrases it, Washington seems to be turning a page in the story of Iraq..it seems quite possible that a Democratic president may be the one compelled to wage the Third Gulf War.
What plausible scenarios could draw even a war-weary United States back into the Middle East, into a Gulf War III? Clearly, the confrontation with Iran -- over its regional policies, support of terrorists and desire to acquire nuclear weapons -- tops the listThe Iranian threat is magnified because it could trigger an arms race for a "Sunni bomb" to offset the "Shiite bomb." What if Jordan, Pakistan or Saudi Arabia fell into fundamentalist hands? Washington Post

Few Take Ahmadineajad's Warning to Repent Seriously

Read Big Al's letter to Americans on CNN here

From NewsMax: Iran's Ahmadinejad: America's New Pen Pal by Kenneth R. Timmerman. (via Little Green Footballs)Ahmadinejadization Alert by Ali Akbar Dareini for AP, with thanks to James: Citing from the Quran at the close of his letter, he says that if Americans "repent" of their "injustice," they will be blessed with many gifts. "We should all heed the divine Word of the Holy Qur'an," he says.
The context of this particular verse (28:67-28, Sura "Al-Qasas," or The Narration), is very clear. It follows a graphic description of destruction and devastation that will befall those who fail to repent of their injustice.
It also sets out the terms of the tradition Muslim warning to the enemies of Allah. "And never will your Lord destroy the towns until He sends to their mother town a Messenger reciting to them Our Verses." This is precisely what Ahmadinejad is doing in his letter.
Dump Bush, allow the Muslims to destroy Israel, and adopt Islam — or else you will be destroyed. This is Ahmadinejad's message.

Islamofascist allegedly plans to bomb U.S. shopping mall

BY NATASHA KORECKI Staff Reporter
A Muslim convert who talked about his desire to wage jihad against civilians was charged Friday in a plot to set off hand grenades at a shopping mall at the height of the Christmas rush, authorities said. …”He fixed on a day of December 22nd on Friday … because it was the Friday before Christmas and thought that would be the highest concentration of shoppers that he could kill and injure,” said Robert Grant, the agent in charge of the Chicago FBI office.

I am from America, and this tape is to let you guys know, who disbelieve in Allah, to let the enemies of Islam know, and to let the Muslims alike know that the time for jihad is now...be strong, oh Mujahideen...May Allah protect me on this mission we conduct...so do not cry, do not mourn for me,” he said, according to the FBI affidavit.

Islam Not For Me 'The Song'

I found this satirical Song from Major Tom
website and I thought I share it with you.

The Peace Of Islam

...............this piece has been made all the more timely with yesterday’s release of the Iraq Study Group Report which counsels, among other things suicidal and asinine, cooperation with Syria and Iran—cooperation with two of the powers profiting from and responsible for the ongoing carnage in Iraq. If the peace we were seeking was the peace that the mullahs or Muqtada al Sadr were interested in, there would be no Mahdi Army, there would be no Iranian shape charges piercing the armor of U.S. assault vehicles and humvees, there would be no Syrian-trained insurgents. These very simple facts have nonetheless escaped this, to be sure, considerably compensated committee of esteemed…diplomats and lawyers. And naturally, anything that reeks of U.S. defeat and debasement has all the little media vultures swarming and squawking breathlessly as if James Baker had just come down from the mountain to deliver this last, best chance of putting an end to the Iraqi quagmire—the catch is it means surrendering to our enemies. Peace with our Islamic foes, the only peace which they will countenance, is our explicit surrender—and liberals seemingly have no problem with this because in the meantime they can bask in a little temporary fame and renown as bringers of peace—temporary because soon it’ll be time to act surprised when the next catastrophe occurs—then the next demands when come, followed by the next concessions and bit by bit, and piece by piece, we will have made ourselves over in their image out pure cowardice and finally we will be at peace. We will accept our slavery gracefully and we will call it peace. by....... D.T Devareaux

Pearl Harbor 65 years Ago

Five years after Pearl Harbor, the war was over. The Third Reich was kaput. The Japanese were vanquished as well.
But five years and counting after 9/11, there is no victory in sight. There is not even much clarity about why we are fighting, or whom we are fighting

Robert Gates’ reference to an Israeli nuclear weapon was synchronized with Baker’s exclusion of Israel from a Mid East conference

The pair is pursuing a new policy line which sacrifices the traditional US-Israeli alliance for the sake of wooing Iran, Syria and Iraq’s neighbors for help in Iraq. During his senate hearings, Gates confirmed - and indirectly justified - Iran’s quest for a nuclear weapon by declaring that the Islamic republic Iran wants the power of deterrence against “the nuclear countries surrounding them – Pakistan in the east, Russia in the north, Israel in the west and the United States in the Persian Gulf.” DEBKAfile.

Olmert refuses to recognize Washington’s policy reversal on a nuclear Iran

DEBKAfile

“I don’t know one person in the United States who can accept nuclear weapons being in Iranian hands,” Prime Minister Ehud Olmert told the Committee of Newspaper Editors prior to his departure for Europe on Thursday, Dec. 7.Olmert remains oblivious to the new reality in Washington, where the powers that be have already come to terms with the prospect of a nuclear Iran.

Cox and Forkum Unconditional Appeasement Then and Now

by Forkum
But with today also being the 65th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack, I couldn't help but recall, and be inspired by, an article in the latest Objective Standard that I linked to earlier this week: "No Substitute for Victory": The Defeat of Islamic Totalitarianism by John Lewis. In this excellent, must-read essay, Dr. Lewis compares today's approach to war with that of the 1940s. Here's another excerpt:In 1945, Americans knew that there was truly "no substitute for victory," as General MacArthur said in his farewell speech to Congress. In 1945, Americans also knew the meaning of "victory." In other words, continued FDR: We have learned that if we do not pull the fangs of the predatory animals of the world, they will multiply and grow in strength . . . [they] must be disarmed and kept disarmed, and they must abandon the philosophy which has brought so much suffering to the world. The CNN headline captures the essence: Bush tells Iran, Syria how they can join Iraq talks.

Bush Expresses Caution on Key Points in Iraq Panel’s Report

By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG and KATE ZERNIKEPublished: December 7, 2006
WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 — President Bush moved quickly on Thursday to distance himself from the central recommendations of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group: pulling back all combat brigades over the next 15 months and direct talks with Iran and Syria.
The report also called for the United States to open negotiations on stabilizing Iraq with Syria and Iran – a proposal advanced last month by Mr. Blair in a major policy speech.

The only reason thinking a nuclear attack won't happen because it hasn't happen yet

Just recently, an al-Qaeda field commander in Afghanistan called for Muslims to leave the U.S., particularly the cities of Washington and New York. Some reports suspect that this call is a warning about a potential nuclear attack on the U.S.

These sales to al-Qaeda have been verified by a host of weapons inspectors, including Hans Blix, former director general of the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency. They were even verified by bin Laden and al-Zawahiri in their pronouncements that they have obtained a small arsenal of nuclear weapons from black-market sources. Before leaving office, Attorney General John Ashcroft and Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge both voiced that belief that al-Qaeda's plan to nuke cities throughout the country soon might come to fruition. Bill Keller, editor of The New York Times, concluded that the only reason for thinking a nuclear attack won't happen is because "it hasn't happened yet," adding that such reasoning represents "terrible logic."

Symposium: China: Time Bomb Walking

Beijing continues to militarily threaten Taiwan, to support a nuclear North Korea, and to forge alliances with anti-American regimes everywhere, including with Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Iran’s nuclear-aspiring Mullahs.

As President Bush met with Chinese President Hu Jintao at the White House this week, the issue of China’s rise as a global superpower took center stage. Serious concerns are mounting in Washington in regards to China’s increasingly aggressive global posturing.
