RATS of War

As DemoRATS spend each new day contriving a different way to cut and run from the war on terror -- or as Rudy puts it "terrorists’ war on us" -- our enemy has a very clear idea of what is at stake and how to go about achieving their strategic goals.

"The most important and serious issue today for the whole world is this Third World War, which the Crusader-Zionist coalition began against the Islamic nation. It is raging in the land of the two rivers. The world's millstone and pillar is in Baghdad." These are the words of Osama bin Laden in a 2004 audio message.

"The jihad in Iraq requires several incremental goals. The first stage: Expel the Americans from Iraq. The second stage: Establish an Islamic authority or emirate, then develop it and support it until it achieves the level of a caliphate - over as much territory as you can to spread its power in Iraq. The third stage: Extend the jihad wave to the secular countries neighboring Iraq. The fourth stage:... the clash with Israel, because Israel was established only to challenge any new Islamic entity." These words were written by Ayman al-Zawahiri in a July 2005 letter.

After 9/11 DemoRAT gasbags took after the president because, after a scant 9 months in office, he didn’t “connect the dots” for the 9/11 plot. Remember the Shrill One taking to the floor of the Senate with a newspaper whose headline screamed “BUSH KNEW”; forget the fact that her own husband was too busy diddling the staff for 8 YEARS to have “connected the dots” and should have known a great deal more than Bush. Then, in an obvious plot to prevent the 9/11 commission from learning who knew what, the Clintons send their former National Security Advisor into the National Archives to destroy one-of-a-kind documents before the 9/11 commission could look at them.

Well now we all know what the al Qaeda plan is and what is stake. The dots are right there for everyone to see in bin Laden’s and Zawahiri’s own words. Still DemoRATS persist in their effort to inflict defeat upon their own nation. Vice President Cheney called them on their foolishness in this gem:

"If we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we'll do is validate the al-Qaeda strategy. The al-Qaeda strategy is to break the will of the American people - in fact, knowing they can't win in a stand-up fight, try to persuade us to throw in the towel and come home, and then they win because we quit... .

"You can't look at Iraq in isolation. You've got to look at it in terms of its impact, what we're doing in Afghanistan, what we're doing in Pakistan, what we're doing in Saudi Arabia. All those areas are part of the global battlefield... and you can't quit in one place and then persuade all your allies who are helping you in all those other theaters... to continue the fight."

When faced with the slightest crticism, DemoRATS run and hide behind what has become their new mantra when confronted with -- dare I say it -- the inconvenient truth, “you can’t question my patriotism.” Well, yes we can. When the dots are right in front of your face and you refuse to connect them for political purposes, when you sell America out for political gain, when you treat the enemies of this country better than our own elected officials, when you unanimously confirm a general with a new plan for Iraq then spend every waking minute trying to undermine that general and his plan -- even as that plan shows early signs of success, when you call American fighting men stupid and compare them Soviets and Nazis and claim that they are terrorizing Iraqis, when you want to cede a vital region of the world to terrorists, when you want to humiliate America because you don’t like the current president, when you want to destroy American credibility around the world to win an election, YOU ARE UNPATRIOTIC!
