Only half the country is at war

The father of Mohammad Atta, leader of the September 11 hijackers, said he had no sorrow for what had happened in London and claimed more terrorist attacks would follow. He said the attacks in the US and Britain were the beginning of what would be a 50-year religious war. Well we’ve been at it with Islamo-terror-fascists since about 1803, so a short 50 year war is pretty optimistic.

Anjem Choudary, the British leader of the militant Islamist group al-Muhajiroun, said that Muslim leaders should ignore Prime Minister Tony Blair’s call for talks while Muslims were being "murdered" in Iraq. Odd since it’s the murderous Islamo-terror-fascists in Iraq killing fellow Muslims.

Choudary declined to condemn the London bombings, which killed 56 people, and said there was "a very real possibility" of a repetition. "The British Government wants to show that they are on the side of justice and of truth, whereas in reality the real terrorists are the British regime, and even the British police, who have tried to divide the Muslim community into moderates and extremists, whereas this classification doesn't exist in Islam." Several posts below Lex made the same point - that by their silence and refusal to condemn radicals, “moderates” give aid and comfort to the hijackers of their religion.

While radical Muslims have openly declared war and are busy executing that war on the West, many Western leaders have their heads buried in the sand. London mayor Ken Livingstone opined that western foreign policy has fuelled the Islamist radicalism behind the bomb attacks in London. Democrats whine more about the treatment of Islamo-terror-fascists in Gitmo than Islamo-terror-fascists attacks on London. Who do Libs and Dems make the primary target of their outrage? Terrorists? No. Libs and Dems zero in on the two guys trying to wipe the terrorists out – President Bush and SecDef Rumsfeld.

In order to win a war, at some point you have to recognize that you’re in one. Libs and Dems have no idea that we are at war. To Libs the real war is with Conservatives. The war on Islamo-terror-fascists is simply a source of issues to beat the president and his SecDef about the head and shoulder for political gain. The war issues are used by Libs to demoralize the troops engaged on our behalf in the hope of making it more difficult for the US to achieve its strategic aims. These same issues are used by Libs to embarrass the administration in an effort to separate it from its allies. The Islamo-terror-fascists are deadly serious about the war on the West. Libs and Dems are serious about the war only in so far as it can be used for political gain against the president. This is all the proof necessary that it is not yet safe to vote for any Democrat.
