You Call that a tantrum… THIS is a tantrum.
‘Hooters for Neuters’
“Are we going backward here?” said City Controller Laura Chick. “We are a city with all kinds of progressive programs that empower women and end discrimination in the workplace, and now we’re being connected with a Hooters bikini contest. It isn’t right.”
A diary entry from soldier in Afghanistan:
I was still in a daze, and I remember thinking, “I can’t believe this just happened to me, are my guys alright.” I was standing in a huge hole now, but still couldn’t make anything out … I saw a hand come through the smoke and grabbed it.
Iraq: A War For Israel (C/O Ministry of Islamist Propoganda)
This is so widely understood in Washington that US Senator Ernest Hollings was moved in May 2004 to acknowledge that the US invaded Iraq “to secure Israel ,” and “everybody” knows it. He also identified three of the influential pro-Israel Jews in Washington who played an important role in prodding the US into war: Richard Perle, chair of the Pentagon’s Defense Policy Board; Paul Wolfowitz, Deputy Defense Secretary; and Charles Krauthammer, columnist and author.
Hanson in Hoping We Fail
Yet if most Americans will retain their composure, reexamine the events of the last two years, remember the horror of September 11, and appraise the myriad of problems that faced us in Afghanistan and Iraq — as well as in Europe, the Arab world, at the U.N. — and the hysteria and false knowledge here at home, they will look at our present situation and past accomplishment, and rightly sigh: “I can’t believe that we really did it.”
All western interference in the Middle East is on behalf of Israel. Zionism should be first on the list of targets, and THEN fundamentalist Islam. Period.

The 2003 article by Victor Davis Hanson is as perfect now, as it was then. It’s an excellent analysis of the whole scenario.
if I win the lottery I may hire soemone to do it to the worst boss Ive ever had.
this is reminiscent of the time some bloke sawed his house in half with a chain saw as part of a property split divorce settlement. I think that happened in jolly ol’ england also. the house was deemed unlivable.
then there was the case of the bloke who lost his high performance customized car to the ex-mrs.
so he sold it for $1 and gave her the ‘proceeds’.
“I was surprised and amazed with the photograph on the flier, and I don’t think it projects a good image for the city of Los Angeles,” Perry said.
She’s worried about the “image” of LA? Words fail.
Oh, and aren’t women (or Womyn, if you like) aren’t “empowered” to wear bikinis in a contest if they want to?
Hanson was wrong and the last two years have underlined that fact. There is nothing worse than willful ignorance. I know, I know, just read it. Iraq and Afganistan were each defeated in three weeks(?) Hello? Anybody home? Victor!
So Victor, they ended terror and the civilization that foster it??? Hello, Victor? Anybody home up there!!???
In fact the opposite is true. Both wars will be ongoing ad infinitum and terror has been fostered and spread by the monumental ignorance of the response to 9/11.
On the subject of Hooters for Neuters it would appear the Conservatives have been front running this issue given the Harper family support for adopting cats.
In fact, Conservatives would appear to be sexier than first thought.
Heavens, going from allegedly “unfit for office” during the election 2006 to “Deftly confounding critics” would appear to be a sea change in the press coverage.
Proposed new headlines for summer fare. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Newsflash: “Stephen Harper invests in surfboard to catch electoral tsunami.”
Note to Stockwell Day: Sea Doos are passe’, surf and wake boards are de rigeur and as Rona Ambrose would have it ‘environmentally friendly’.
Now for a delicious piece of irony so thick you need a fork:
http://www.chatelaine.com/lifeleisure/article.jsp?content=20051212_131114_4916
As Chatelaine magazine noted: Edmonton-Spruce Grove, Rona Ambrose was voted Best Up-and-Comer – and Sexiest Conservative MP – by her peers.
“Hailing from landlocked Alberta, federal Environment Minister Rona Ambrose sports bikini and offers surf and wake board lessons for endless summer fun.”
New slogan for the next summer election: “Hang 10 for Canada”.
Not to be outdone, call Stephen Harper what you will, but don’t call him a Conservative Casanova.
On April 9, 2006 the prime minister was quick to correct a New Democrat MP who accused him today of “seducing” former Liberal David Emerson into switching parties. Harper reminded the House of Commons that his reputation is that of a bookish loner rather than a hot-blooded lothario.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been accused of seducing anyone, even my wife,” he told chortling MPs.
The observation brought howls of laughter from his wife, Laureen, who was watching her husband’s first question period as prime minister.
Her reaction did not escape the eye of her husband, who commented: “I see there’s some agreement in the gallery there.”
However, the softwood minister David Emerson has reported that Stephen Harper has a “hard ass” quality.
http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2006/02/28/1466973-cp.html
“I probably did say he was a hard-ass. It was meant as a compliment, not a criticism. If I call you a hard-ass I think you’re a pretty solid guy and you’ve got grit.
Presumably, the yet as unannounced hardwood minister, will report that Laureen Harper features a ‘soft ass’. 🙂 🙂 🙂
There is balance in Canadian politics you just have to look for it.
Of course Canadians are all delighted that the Prime Minister’s bedroom is well appointed. This would appear to further distinguish the Conservatives from the well worn Liberal mantra that “the state has no interest in the nation’s bedrooms”.
The Prime Minister may be clever and coy in his family relations; however, Stephen Harper’s electoral “seduction” of Canadians, judging by rising poll numbers, is going swimmingly this summer.
Cheers 🙂 🙂 🙂
Deft Harper confounds critics
Jun. 28, 2006. 01:00 AM
CAROL GOAR
Any seasoned political observer could have predicted that Stephen Harper would be a shrewd, disciplined, highly focused Prime Minister. What has surprised both his fans and his foes is his sure-footedness.
He had no experience in government when he won the country’s highest office. He had never managed a large organization. He had no cabinet veterans to turn to. And his party didn’t command a parliamentary majority.
Yet the 47-year-old economist has sidestepped most of the potholes that trip political leaders. He hasn’t tried to change too much, too fast. He hasn’t been blindly partisan. He hasn’t fallen victim to events. And none of his cabinet ministers has gotten into serious trouble.
When Harper has made mistakes, he has corrected them quickly enough to avoid lasting damage. When he has taken risks, they’ve been calculated.
What’s been most fascinating is the way he has pre-empted criticism:
Right-wing ideologue? It’s hard to say that about a Prime Minister who hasn’t slashed taxes, hasn’t axed social programs, hasn’t gutted the public service and hasn’t given Alberta Premier Ralph Klein any more latitude to bring in private health insurance than his Liberal predecessors did.
It’s true that Harper is dismantling Canada’s half-built child-care system, has poured billions of dollars into military hardware and has scheduled a vote on same-sex marriage in the fall. But so far, he has stayed within the bounds of mainstream conservatism.
Anti-Toronto Prime Minister? That is a difficult case to make when Harper’s government has boosted funding to the Harbourfront Centre by $1 million a year, increased immigrant settlement funding by $150 million a year, created a $900-million fund to upgrade public transportation and acceded to the city’s long-standing request to review the relevance of the Toronto Port Authority, an intrusive federal agency.
It’s true that the Conservatives have no interest in a comprehensive urban agenda. But they haven’t neglected or punished Toronto.
Threat to multiculturalism? That label isn’t likely to stick, after Harper delivered a ringing defence of Canada’s tradition of openness and tolerance at last week’s global forum on cities in Vancouver. “Our government will do all we can to make our society secure and ensure that terrorism finds no comfort in Canada — and we will do so by preserving and strengthening the cultural diversity that makes us strong,” he said.
It’s true the Tories eliminated the ministry of multiculturalism. But the Liberals had already downgraded it to a junior portfolio. And even among visible minorities, it was seen as something of an anachronism.
Cultural philistine: Again, Harper has done just enough to escape reproach. His government increased the Canada Council’s budget by $50 million and exempted charitable donations of publicly traded shares from the capital gains tax.
It’s true the Liberals were promising arts groups more in their last budget. But the Conservatives did not leave them empty-handed, as many had feared.
Judging a Prime Minister by his first five months at the helm is risky, of course, especially when he is constrained by a parliamentary minority.
Some of Harper’s moderation no doubt stems from his desire to win a stronger mandate in the next election. And some of his government’s largesse can be attributed to a bulging federal treasury.
He is also benefiting from good luck. The Liberals are divided and directionless. Quebec’s separatists have lost their momentum. The New Democrats are more intent on chipping away at the Liberal base than challenging the Tories. And the economy is thriving.
There are, however, worrisome signals on the horizon.
Harper appears to have broken faith with Canada’s aboriginal people, shelving the five-year action plan agreed to by former prime minister Paul Martin, all of the provincial premiers and territorial leaders and representatives of the Métis, Inuit and First Nations last November. The current government has reverted to handing out dribs and drabs of short-term funding.
Although the Tories have yet to unveil their climate change strategy, they have made it clear that Canada is pulling out of the 163-country alliance committed to reducing fossil fuel emissions to pre-1990 levels. There are also strong indications the Harper government will repudiate mandatory targets for cutting greenhouse gases.
Finally, the Prime Minister’s vague plan to shift resources from Ottawa to the provinces could leave future federal governments too weak to maintain national standards or to exert the centripetal force needed to pull the country’s disparate regions together.
At the moment, though, Harper is staying on the right side of public opinion, with a deftness that should give his critics pause.

Carol Goar’s column appears Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
Perusing this thread, I don’t know what to think.
On one hand I have Victor Davis Hanson – one of the most respected military historians on the planet, while on the other hand – a rebuttal by someone who doesn’t know where to locate the *shift* key.
Tough call.
‘Just read the Toronto Star’s story on the stage production Lord of the Rings’ planned early closing. The producer blames the early closing on the critics tepid reception of the monster spectacular, and Toronto’s esteemed mayor, David Miller, blames it “on the reluctance of Americans to travel in large numbers in the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.”
He could be right, though Americans’ reluctance to grace Toronto streets and theatres could also have something to do with the Americans not feeling too secure after Jane Creba’s murder last winter and after the arrest of the Islamist 17.
My guess is that the stage production of The Lord of the Rings didn’t really stand a chance. Why on earth would anyone want to stage a story that has been “done” to death: in print (apologies, J.R.R. Tolkein, you’re the original genius; good on ya’ mate!), on the screen, and now on DVD? There’s no way you can even approach the special effects artistry in the movies, so what would be the draw?
When I heard a stage production was being launched in Toronto, I thought, “another fiasco in Toronto.” Hey, it’s my hometown, I should be cheering for anything that might boost Toronto’s and Torontonians’ self-esteem, but TLOTRs?
Toronto needs some new blood, a new mayor, less crime, fewer panhandlers, a makeover of Yonge Street, more law and order, fewer gangs, thugs, and hookers on the streets: It doesn’t need a stage production of Lord of the Rings!!!!
Are you listening, David Miller???

Once again Hooter’s, a sports bar/resaurant has stirred up the ire of the fembots. Amazingly, it is because it is giving LA a bad image??? Yeah, as opposed to the Blood and Crip? Kind of like McGuinty fiddling with logos while Caledonia burns.
For the life of me, I can’t see what all the fuss is about. This is no topless bar, no lap dancers, not a seedy hangout for druggies. Heck, here Saturday is kids eat free day. Any of their fundraising events are chariy benefiting and they are a good corporate neighbour. Most opponents who have a beef have never stepped into the place or tasted their wings (great). Some people don’t know how to priorize their concerns.
Kate’s back and on her game!
The rest of us can pay heed to steve d and take the opposite of what he says to the bank.
According to sd “The insurgency in Iraq will go on forever”. Right, as have all insurgencies, especially those which are outgunned and have no redeeming value and no popular support.
So steve d, will we even hear from you when it’s over or will you hide your anonymity behind some other mask?
Kate
Maybe that is Hansons problem he can’t discern anything until its history. Maybe he’ll get it right in about twenty years.
Terry Gain
A few years ago they said the insurgency had numbers of about 3000. The insurgency numbers have been growing over the years and now are estimated at 20 000. It wonder what Victor would say about it. I guess he’s not writing about it anymore. Maybe he thinks its over. It certainly was over in his mind. Maybe he would call what the US is doing ‘clean-up operations’.
Hans, keep your quoting shorter, please.

Defence
First, spending by the Department of National Defence on Canada’s military forces last year made up 7 cents of each taxpayer dollar ($13.9 billion).
Public Safety
Next, operating costs of the Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness were just over 21⁄2 cents of your tax dollar ($5 billion). This includes funding for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the federal prison system, and border traffic and security operations.
Canada Revenue Agency
And third, there was funding for the Canada Revenue Agency, which administers the federal tax system (and also collects personal income taxes for all provinces except Quebec). Its operations cost about 2 cents of each tax dollar ($3.7 billion).
Other Operations
A further $23.1 billion—just over 111⁄2 cents of each tax dollar—was spent on the operations of the other federal departments and agencies.
These included major departments such as: Environment; Fisheries and Oceans; Health; Human Resources Development; Industry; Justice; Natural Resources; Public Works; Transport; and Veterans Affairs.
As well, funding went to federal agencies such as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, Parks Canada and the Canadian International Development Agency.

I read your posts, here at SDA, on a range of subjects. With all due respect, when it comes to the Iraq insurgency – check that – terrorism/police action, you appear to be, well… stupid. If people of your ilk ran things in the world’s great democracies of 1939, we would be goose-steppin’ to the song stylings of Wagner today. I suggest you pick up a copy of “We The Living” (“Atlas Shrugged”, too?) by Ayn Rand. Go ahead, LEARN something, and lead with your brain, instead of your “feelings”. Poor baboo. By the way, if I were an Iraqi, I would be peeing my pants for joy because the evil imperialist war monger Bush liberated the God damn country from that unconscionable turd Saddam Hussein.
Hey, did ya read Mark Steyn’s article in The Western Standard last March entitled “Not Fit To Print”? No, I thought not… Steyn’s not your cup of tea. Anyway, you like numbers; “…the famous U.N. statistic from a 2002 report– more books are translated into Spanish in a single year than have been translated into Arabic in the last thousand…”. Probably explains the, ahem, statistic of 3000-come-20,000 terrorists since 2003, and every one of them brainless twits, just li… oh, forget it.

Dean: ‘We’re About to Enter the ’60s Again’
By Randy Hall
CNSNews.com Staff Writer/Editor
June 28, 2006
(CNSNews.com) – America is about to revisit one of the most turbulent decades in its history, Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean told a religious conference in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. “We’re about to enter the ’60s again,” Dean said, but he was not referring to the Vietnam War or racial tensions.
Dean said he is looking for “the age of enlightenment led by religious figures who want to greet Americans with a moral, uplifting vision.”
“The problem is when we hit that ’60s spot again, which I am optimistic we’re about to hit, we have to make sure that we don’t make the same mistakes,” Dean added. …-

The Iraqis had a monster despot as a leader. A lot of countries do. How many of them would want to be invaded? I think the most successful transitions of government occur when the people themselves turn on their leaders.
Iraqis interviewed immediately after the downfall of Saddam said they were happy he was gone but they didn’t want America to hang around long either. Many Iraqis believed that once the Americans occupied they would never leave. So what we have are Iraqi patriots fighting to free their country from occupation, an estimated 10% come from outside the country to carry out jihad on America, some Sunnis are convinced that they have no choice but to fight because they fear they will now be second class citizens, others are fighting to jockey for advantage in the power struggle that is going on among Shiia factions.
America will leave before the job is complete, just like they did in Afghanistan. America will be forced to withdraw because most Americans are tired of this struggle they don’t think was well executed and reasoned.
Both countries will have a power struggle/civil war. Afghanistan will return to is Islamic fundamentalist ways. Iraq will likely be more Islamic because the most powerful forces are Islamic with Iranian support.
These countries cannot be compared to the US and/or Western Europe. Afghanistan is extremely poor. There is no Hitler there. Iraq will probably have an Islamic mullah as leader. He will have plenty to do for the next thirty years without shooting scud missles at the US.
This is in no way comparable to 1939. There is nothing similar, nothing.
steve d.
“So what we have are Iraqi patriots fighting to free their country from occupation…”(sic).
Huh???
And just how in heck were the Iraqi people going to “turn on their leaders”? The more likely bet would have been an Iranian invasion of Iraq the MINUTE the Iranians thought they could overthrow that son of a bitch Saddam Hussein.
What is it, 93%? 97%? You know, the polls which show how many Iraqis want the Yanks (God love ’em!) to stay. OK, the sheer number of “freedom fighters” i.e. terrorists in Iraq might number 20,000; there are 26 million Iraqis living there, and another… what… few hundred thousand Iraqi ex-pats who got out of Iraq between, oh, 1973 and the present day. There are probably more left-handed, one-legged (thank you, al-Zarqawi) Iraqi cigarette vendors than there are Iraqi “freedom fighters”.
Come on, call ’em what they really are; terrorists, for Christ’s sake!
Since the U.S. embassy takeover in Iran, right up to 9/11, there was a cancer spreading across the planet, namely, Muslim fundamentalism coupled with fascism. People are STILL scared to death of it. No? Then why all that balony about not publishing the Muhammed cartoons? Look up that article by Mark Steyn, and then you tell me he hasn’t nailed it! All I’ll give you, steve, is that, unlike 1939, the fascists (and that IS what they are) are being dealt with before the problem gets as big as Nazism. The tough part; far too much divisiveness on, yes, I’ll say it, THE SIDE OF RIGHT. Churchill and FDR must be spinning in their graves over how inexplicably obstructionist half the good guys seem to be.
Be thankful the unipolar world (read, “the cops”) has as its de facto leader the U.S.A. But then, it couldn’t have been any other way; liberty, equality, property rights, and simple justice… THESE are what America is about. THESE things lead to GREAT wealth. THESE things are the very soul of America. Bugger the rest of them… I’m happy as a clam to live next to to U.S.A. Wish we had their guts (not John Kerry’s or Howard Dean’s, I suppose).
Iran, Sudan, Zimbabwe, North Korea, north west Pakistan, should all be “invaded” by us nasty imperialists… with a few “special offers” made to Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba (did I miss any?). Oh, yes, don’t forget to tell the Saudis, through the media of course, that they’re on the short list if one thin dime of terrorist funds is traced back to them. Hmm… yeah, it should be worded exactly like that in the official press release from Washington. If we beat livin’ hell out of the thugs, and compel their captive peoples to write constitutions which entrench property rights, human rights, have regularly scheduled elections, respect their neighbours, etc… there would be a LOT LESS conflict afterward.
Holy Mohammed, Allah… these Islamists terrorists have loose lips on the ‘Net. These Islamists hate Canada, hate Canadians; hate you, Jack and Jill Canuck. …-
Hateful chatter behind the veil (Wives of Toronto’s `accused` terrorists)
The Globe and Mail ^ | Thursday, June 29, 2006 | OMAR EL AKKAD AND GREG MCARTHUR
Posted on 06/29/2006 4:47:27 AM PDT by fanfan
Hateful chatter behind the veil
Key suspects’ wives held radical views, Web postings reveal
MISSISSAUGA — When it came time to write up the premarital agreement between Zakaria Amara and Nada Farooq, Ms. Farooq briefly considered adding a clause that would allow her to ask for a divorce.
She said that Mr. Amara (now accused of being a leader of the alleged terror plot that led to the arrests of 17 Muslim men early this month) had to aspire to take part in jihad.
“[And] if he ever refuses a clear opportunity to leave for jihad, then i want the choice of divorce,” she wrote in one of more than 6,000 Internet postings uncovered by The Globe and Mail.
Wives of four of the central figures arrested last month were among the most active on the website, sharing, among other things, their passion for holy war, disgust at virtually every aspect of non-Muslim society and a hatred of Canada. The posts were made on personal blogs belonging to both Mr. Amara and Ms. Farooq, as well as a semi-private forum founded by Ms. Farooq where dozens of teens in the Meadowvale Secondary School area chatted. The vast majority of the posts were made over a period of about 20 months, mostly in 2004, and the majority of those were made by the group’s female members.
The tightly knit group of women who chatted with each other includes Mariya (the wife of alleged leader Fahim Ahmad), Nada (the wife of Mr. Amara, the alleged right-hand man) Nada’s sister Rana (wife of suspect Ahmad Ghany), as well as Cheryfa MacAulay Jamal (the Muslim convert from Cape Breton, N.S. who married the oldest suspect, 43-year-old Qayyum Abdul Jamal). The women’s husbands are part of a core group of seven charged with the most severe crimes — plotting to detonate truck bombs against the Toronto Stock Exchange, a Canadian Forces target, and the Toronto offices of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.
The women were bound by the same social, political and ideological aims. They organized “sisters-only” swimming days and held fundraisers for the notorious al-Qaeda-linked Khadr family. With the exception of the occasional Urdu or Arabic word or phrase, their posts are exclusively in English …

LIEGE, Belgium –Police found the bodies of two young sisters Wednesday and said they had been slain and left in a storm sewer after vanishing from an outdoor party in a case that has traumatized Belgians. (neale news, The Blogging Tories).
I wish the Belgians would stop being “traumatized” by these horrendous events in their country which, after all, their idiotic open, tolerant, and diverse society and judicial (sic) system have aided and abetted.
Why do we–and the Belgians–parole sex offenders? It’s commonly known that the “recovery” rate of known sexual predators and pedophiles is less than 10% (some of the more sincere ones begging to be castrated). In our desire to be “tolerant” and “humane,” and not wanting to traumatize sexual criminals, we unleash them on the world to re-offend and then WE become traumatized.
I’d say that any society that does this has not right to be “traumatized” when the inevitable happens and the sex offender molests and kills again. GET OVER IT, BELGIANS; BETTER YET, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE HENINOUS CRIMES. Sh** or get off the pot.
Last thought: What were these two young girls doing unsupervised at a street party? If I had been their mother(s), I would have kept a very close eye on them.
Nice find there maz2.
I read the whole article and the verbatim quotes as posted on the internet chat room.
In one internet post the wives of the accused refer to Canada as ‘this filthy country’.
I don’t know what she is talking about, as Canada has long been known for its pristine outdoors once leaving the big city. This woman needs to get out of her twisted mindset or return to the Sharia law ruled country she so heartily desires.
In another post we have:
“May Allah crush these jews, bring them down to their kneees, humuliate them. Ya Allah make their women widows and their children orphans.”
With sentiments like these, there will be no peace in the valley. Brimming hate and spite is hardly a recipe for integrating peacefully with the rest of society.
If these individuals have such utter contempt for Canada, then the best possible solution is to invite these not so friendly folk to board a plane and return to the desired country of their dreams.
The Middle East is already a hotbed of discontent, go and add fuel to the already burning pyre of hate and invective over there. If Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq etc. are so wonderful then the logical response is to move there post haste. Its just a plane ticket away.
But given the Air India terrorist disaster you may want to take a slow boat to get to your destination safely.
Should those who advocate not voting, and not participating in democracy, have discomfort in Canada, there are any number of failed nation states, and tinpot dictatorships to choose from.
Pick one and move on. If one has a fundamental disagreement in the structure of the basics of Canadian society, then you simply don’t belong here.
If they want to import conflict from the home country to Canada as part of the immigration bargain, Canada should have the courage to say: “NO SALE”.
Kindly leave Canada out of it.

The brutal truth – Bromell style
By JOE WARMINGTON
“I want him out.”
Fighting words from Craig Bromell on Mayor David Miller.
“And I won’t rest until he is out.”
The talk radio host and former police union boss is livid about all the shootings and murders. And he blames Miller. “This is not the Summer of the Gun, Part Two. This is the term on the gun,” he said yesterday.
Heads up because the socialist mayor will see plenty of opposition from Bromell when he starts his new radio show Tuesday. The 46-year-old husband and father of three, who had been hosting The Beat on AM 640 since 2004, will introduce an expanded format in the 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. time slot called simply Bromell.
“I want brutal truth and honesty,” he said in an interview. “I am going to go after the politicians I don’t like.”
Some better start heading for cover because “I don’t go half-measure on anything. If you are my friend I will do anything for you, but if you are an enemy I will hate you and store it in the back of my mind until I can take you out.”
You just don’t hear people talking this way in the politically correct world anymore. It’s refreshing. Truthful.
“I will use the tactics I used as president of the union to get rid of them,” he insisted. “There is dirt on everybody — and I have a snitch line.”
There’s a number of people on Bromell’s dirt list. Chief Bill Blair is one of them. …-

Invading everyone has been tried in the past. The US couldn’t finish the job in Afghanistan, the poorest, most backward nation on earth. The US couldn’t finish that enemy. Their next enemy Iraq is another example of a war they can’t finish. So now we are stuck with two unwinnable wars and you want to start some more???
The US has opened a pandora’s box and is stuck.
While being stuck they are creating more converts to jihadism and terrorism generally. The seven would be terrorists who were arrested in Toronto decided to be terrorists because of what the US was doing to Arabs. How many more are being enraged by the US aggression? Hundreds? Thousands? Everywhere in the world?
Will we ever be able to travel safely again?
The US did not need to send in an army to kill a few hundred Bin Laden followers. It did not need to invade Iraq, Saddam was getting weaker politically. He was likely in his last decade of life and his sons could not control things as Saddam did. I think Saddam was finished after the first Gulf War. He was just a shell of his former self. The US didn’t have to invade at all. As history will show, it was stupid. Now they are stuck on stupid, 5 years and counting.
We don’t need more stupid.
Does Hanson live in a cave, the war ended in three(3) weeks??
The WMD Saddam had were euro dollars for oil, thats all he took for the oil. Someone in washington didn’t like that. So the US troop will stay and the Iraqis will keep killing them when the venture outside their forts. Then when they do leave the Iraqis will go back to the euro for oil.

Note that Hussein’s pasing would likely have triggered a massive war in the region as Iran’s mullah’s took advantage of attitudes like yours in the West to roll their armies in and take out the Sunnis (to the Persians, Arabs are n*****s). Iranian annexation of Shiite lands, with no condemnation at all from the UN thanks to the Chinese veto.
Kurdistan would grab its chance to secede, prompting further Iranian and possibly Turkish aggression, to prevent large territorial losses. Of course people like you suddenly wouldn’t care that much about all the aggression going on against people of colour, because there’d be no way to pin this on the US.
You also understand practically nothing of Mideast political culture. For instance after the US took Afghanistan, there was widespread approval in the “Arab Street”, ditto for the US attack in Iraq. In Arabia, as Osama has repeatedly pointed out, “we back the strong horse”. There were Iraqi babies being named El-George, and El-Bush. Similarly, the Arab Street is practically silent about current Israeli military operatios in Gaza. Mideasterners despise weakness. Aggression, even by Jews, is seen as a virtue, which is why a huge smashup of the Arabs by Israel gets them about 5-10 years of peace – just enough for the Israelis to “go soft” and invite another war. Most of those of the islamic ideology attack becase they think you’re weak, not out of any sense of “injustice” – that’s just codespeak for Western leftwingers.
Where I think you’ve got it wrong, is that the US may have made a bit of a hash of the peace. But that is not to say the war isn’t worth fighting. I mean by that reasoning, we should’ve concluded a separate peace wth the Nazis in 1943, and let them and the Soviets fight it out. The insurgency in Iraq is not “patriotism”, no matter how much Michael Moore may try to lick your ears with his vile filth. Patriots who are fighting to “liberate” their country usually don’t almost exclusively target their country’s citizens. The vast majority of the victims of the islamic aggression in Iraq are children.
The Iraqi “insurgents” are the same crew “fighting” in Madrid, London, Paris, Toronto. The argument they give about how it is US “occupation” is aimed at gullible saps like you.
My reply to them would be “who the f**k asked you to fight for the Iraqis?”
An Iraqi friend of mine in Ottawa put it better: “listen, if we didn’t want the Americans there, they’d be long gone, with 30 000+ dead”.
I find it strange that the one group of people whose opinion (through their ballot boxes) is utterly ignored – by shills for orthodox islam – is the Iraqis. Are you saying their will is not legitimate? That they are just poor stupid Arabs whose choices are irrelevant, and you and the jihadis know better, so they should just quit bemoaning the jihad and kick out the US?
