How can you deny success? It’s reported here by the Associated Press:
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Hundreds of thousands of Shiites chanting “Death to Israel” and “Death to America” marched through the streets of Baghdad’s biggest Shiite district Friday in a massive show of support for Hezbollah in its battle against Israel.
Now maybe it’s not as bad as it looks. After all, those protesters didn’t specify what kind of death they were wishing for Americans. Maybe they were hoping that we would have peaceful deaths in our sleep after living long lives of affluence. You just can’t tell from the chant . . .
I’m betting it’s the other kind of death, though. I’m betting that the marching multitudes were wishing for Americans to suffer widespread painful dramatic deaths of the 9/11 sort. Hey, maybe Bush was right about one thing: now there really is a connection between Iraq and 9/11!
What’s brilliant about Bin Laden is that he did all of this damage to America by simply baiting W and his gang of neocons. He knew that they just wouldn’t be able to restrain themselves after striking Al Caeda camps. Bin Laden knew, that in the black and white mindset of neocons, all it would take to fix all of those people over there would be a few hundred billion dollars of bombs and bullets–and, of course, a repaired schoolhouse here and there and some hand-outs of candy to the shell-shocked civilians.
Where ever he is, Bin Laden is doubtless smiling and nodding–he couldn’t be happier.
It’s a national disgrace to see our mentally challenged president so easily manipulated by a transparently evil man living in a cave.
This was bound to happen, after Bush immediately jumped to Israel's defense with no regard to our tense relationships with other countries in that area; Syria, Iran, AND Iraq. Although, why wouldn't he? America and Israel share a common bond- the desire to cleanse the Middle East of Islamic terrorism. Too bad there are consequences- but I suppose that's a concept his parents probably failed to teach him.
