I'll just say it early and get it out of the way.
Iraq is making these folks more sophisticated and stronger; meanwhile Afghanistan is not exactly going splendedly and the figurehead of Al Qaeda continues to avoid capture and just punishment.
We are fighting them over there; but we are simply making MORE of them. If cynics wanted to they could say Bush is making for perpetual war, whether intentional or not he is doing so.
It is time to fight them SMARTLY, it is not something this Administration has shown itself capable of doing for nearly four years. It is up to us to make them do so.
They will try to make this incident such that people don't remember their statements about fighting them there so we don't have to fight them there, but that is not the effect of their policy, the effect is that we will have to fight them here, there, and everywhere for fucking ever.
Also:
But this is the FIRST of what will become a deluge of attacks on those of us who have been critical of BushCo. It is all the "lefts" fault for these attacks; if we could only be harsh at GITMO et al this could have been stopped; if we could just mow down Iraq and Afghanistan our lebensraum will be safe; if it wasn't for all of us criticizing Dear Leader no more terrorist acts would ever occur.
Yes, those of us who do not control the Executive, Legislative, or Judicial Branches; those of us who do not receive the pay of corporate media, those of us with all the power a series of miniscule blogs can drive are to blame for the growth of Al Qaeda.
It's coming, the big lie. I wonder sometimes if they are determined not to let Al Qaeda out-douchebag them? A nearly impossible task, but yet they try anyway.
