I just don't get it? How the hell can Hezbollah Or Hamas be more of a danger than so called Al Qaeda or any of the other so called Islamists?
Top U.S. counterterrorism officials Monday said Al Qaeda is "imploding" and that its violent tactics have turned Muslims worldwide against the organization."Absolutely it's imploding. It's imploding because it's not a message that resonates with a lot of Muslims," said Dell Dailey, the State Department's coordinator for counterterrorism.Al Qaeda still remains the most dangerous threat to the United States. But of growing concern are organizations like Lebanese Hezbollah and Hamas, which combine social services, local governance, national politics with extremist attacks, said Undersecretary of State James Glassman.
"These are models that have a lot more popular appeal than Al Qaeda, that has almost no popular appeal," he said. Vastly more Muslims than Westerners are killed by Al Qaeda car and suicide bombs, particularly in Iraq where local tribes have largely turned against Al Qaeda in Iraq in the last two years. Extremist violence claimed more than 9,500 civilian victims in Muslim countries in 2007. U.S. intelligence agencies caution against predicting Al Qaeda's demise too soon, noting its Pakistan safe harbor and the persistent efforts of its affiliates to conduct attacks in North Africa and elsewhere.
Then they go on to say Despite these apparent fissures, Al Qaeda is the most potent threat to the United States, according to U.S. intelligence officials and reports. A national intelligence assessment released last year said Al Qaeda had regenerated its leadership and ability to conduct attacks in the ungoverned tribal region of western Pakistan. Afghanistan has grown increasingly violent because of the close ties and collaboration between the Pakistan tribes, the Taliban and the terrorist organization. Al Qaeda continues to attract new fighters to fight U.S. forces in Afghanistan, and radical Internet sites that provide religious justification for attacks and violent anti-Western rhetoric are spreading. Al Qaeda unpopular and imploding, what?
Doublespeak again I can't stand it! No matter what happens they can say they expected it look at the videos and frightening facts that will get worse! First a question:
Will Iraq be able to survive US withdrawal? No way in hell but we better leave. The entire middle east and the world will blow anyway thanks to Bush!
Good thing they are weakened and imploding:
Bombing and gunfire at US Embassy in Yemen 10 guards dead by Jihadists!
Meanwhile as you know Pakistan orders Americans shot on sight!
They have also closed the Border with Pakistan and are not allowing resupply convoys into Afghanistan because of Americans going into Pakistan to kill insurgents and so called Taliban! Meanwhile you know 10,000 additional troops are said to be needed and look at the hornets nest they will all be in and the supply routes blocked!
Afghani reaction to the surge in Afghanistan, they really hate us!
You know, I don't get it! Taliban, Sunni, Shiite, Al Qaeda, what the hell does it matter? As I have been saying for years like it or not this will be a war against all of Islam. This is a Religious war as you know. They are the longest and the dirtiest. With perverted Religiosity on both sides of this, this will be the longest and the dirtiest the world has ever seen and our collapse occuring at the perfect time for the right to take over one way or the other! You know, this analyst knows Bush's true goal with purposely allowing our financial and infrastructure collapse and his instigation to war with Russia and his instigation of war with Pakistan is not to close out his Presidency but to create enough chaos to allow him to declare martial Law take control of us and prosecute this new order agenda! Remember Executive order #51 giving Bush total Dictatorial control! This election will be stolen for McPalin or Bush has till January 20th to implement Executive order #51!
* Executive order #51 is a horrible tool in the hands of Bush or McCain!!

Oh yes. this is a religious war alright and it has been from the beginning.
No country likes to be occupied, how ever peaceful that occupation might be.
After liberation comes resentment if the forces overstay their welcome. The country wants to run it's own busyness in the way they know best.
My parents told me they couldn't wait for the English and Americans to go. All that they wanted was to go on with their lives after the Second World War. They wanted to rebuilt, pick up the pieces, move on and forget.
Withdraw I say.
And that from a political nincompoop.
Good lord, is nothing going right this week? I am generally an optimistic person, but it seems that darkness is descending on all fronts.
Unfortunatley the US is run by the Corporate Media/Military/Industrial Complex.
War profiteers and their stooges are the only ones allowed in the White House.

You are not a Political nincompoop! You are right too! This is a religious war even though it is denied! This will be the longest and the dirtiest and at the same time Bush has been instigating Russia to war and along with the financial collapse it is all coming to a head perfectly and it is no coincidence.
I saw your question to me about TC and this is good. You did this last time very timely! I did not answer you hoping to see you here. If you can E me please do so, stay in touch!
Maria
You make me laugh! I have an upbeat post for tomorrow I have been gathering and will put together later.
All is not doom and gloom. Good things happen too. You make me laugh I was going to in part say misery like company!
Dave
You know you are right and along with the rights benefactors they are the only ones prospering today while Bush is bankrupting our America.
Is your music at Sirens yet I didn't see it? I will be by to check but I don't think I have seen a new post at your place. Take care!
There's a link to the music in the top bar.
Thanks to Dusty, she's great.
Okay excellent I think that is a great idea. I will be over in a minute to check it out! Yes dusty is a good one!
Excellent, Excellent, Excellent Dave! Very good! Love Misunderestimated. I am going to have to send Wease over. Good luck!
When Bush said "crusade", he wasn't misspeaking, he knew exactly what he meant! Separation of Church and State my ass! The Rethuglicans in this country still believe that the principles of this country should be based on Judea-Christian beliefs. Or so they claim. To be honest none of them actually adhere to the teaching of Jesus Christ. If they did, they would know how to turn the other cheek, love thy neighbor, etc. And they would know that Jesus said "Blessed be the Peacemakers".
In the final analysis, it all boils down to hypocrisy and a deep prejudice against Muslims.
Hey Robert
Yes that was no mispeak it was a slip of the tongue! Both sides have perverted Religion. I think I might have mentioned it to you but it pissed me off when the pope was in France he was advocation Religion and Government being hand in hand. BS!
I thought the Pope and Bush were partners in crime and listening to the Pope cry poor us and saying Christians are picked on, get no respect, and should stand up I am now convinced.
Hypocrisy is the beginning and the end as the entire world seems to be lying to follow their selfish agenda into the future. Not good Robert!
Sorry I've been AWOL, but wow! things are worse than I thought. Bad enough to get stuck between warring fundamentalists of any stripe, but now you are waking me up to the idea that this whole financial meltdown is a contrived way of implementing NS-51. This is right in line with Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine, as I'm sure you're aware. Only we're not in Chile or Burma ... are we?
BTW, please don't censor yourself on my blog. I always welcome your POV.

There are no coincidence today only contrived coincidence! Regardless of what we do I totally expect something to happen this fall or before January 20th when Bush would have to leave. You can take that to the bank if any are still open!
I have been getting flack for fear mongering on sites from one in particular so I have to mute the truth on other sites. What most do not get is the financial breakdown, Natural or man made disasters, growing war, it is all intertwined and part of the whole we call a future and thanks!
One thing for certain is that we have no control. To reach the state of affairs at present was not a hap harzard chain of events but was predermined by a few. The fact that those on our side enabled is key.
It's more than propaganda from the media it's brain washing. Include the lobbyists and is that enough for the dims to cave for the last eight years-maybe. I think many have been threatened and that is why these people have done whatever they've wanted whenever they want because they know they can. We are in a world of shit.

Where the hell have you been? I wish we had run into each other years ago! I stopped trying to wake people up at Kos a couple years ago because I had a lot of spammers or whatever you call them giving me a ration and sabotaging my posts. I figured they were right wingers trying to hide the truth. I decided to focus here again!
A lot of good people are dropping out here too as they can't take any more. I won't stop!
It is hard to watch as everyone we depend on is complicit and we are powerless. They benefit from this gravy train or are allowing it to happen to protect their lives and jobs. I think it was you I sent the list of those who tried to speak the truth and ended up dying mysterious deaths.
This new Fascist America has improved on Hitler and every other Fascist regime. This is not going to be good though it may be short and not sweet! Yes we are in a world of shit. I really feel for my sons and Grand kids! Take care and stay in touch!

I was sent this about 10 days ago after Fannie and Freddie by the Relentless Liberal. This is not good! Last Ditch!
