After almost 7 years of war in the heart of Islam, since the attacks of 9-11 on America, America is now in the process of choosing its next President. Because the choices are stark and offer huge headaches or huge opportunities to the terrorists, the Islamo Fascists will want to send a clear signal to America that they better elect a Surrendercrat or else. This of course will have the opposite effect if we are hit again or something else erupts in the region, but that has nothing to do with the thinking of Islamo Fascists thugs. They keep thinking massive human atrocities will cower America, so they keep trying them.

Why do they do this? I don’t know, all I know is the pattern is now set. We saw it on 9-11, we saw it in Afghanistan with the Taliban, we saw it backfire in Iraq with the Awakening. It is what Islamo Fascists do – everything evolves out of violence and oppression. They would know better if they could open their minds to history. Even under Clinton the atrocities happening in the old states of Yugoslavia – which paled in comparison to what we have seen from al-Qaeda – brought America into that conflict to stop the violence. So America does act when violence erupts – just not consistently (as can be seen in Africa). Sadly the rhetoric from the Surrendercrats and SurrenderMedia is feeding the rationalizations of the thugs that more violence will stave off their defeat.

So with the incentive in place from weak-kneed liberals in the West, it is very likely something violent and bloody will happen to grab America’s attention this summer. One of those things our enemies hope will bring the Surrendercrats into a position to turn tail from the region and our success, and allow the Islamists a break before they are eradicated, is war in the Middle East. The Islamists want to push forward in a grand fashion, and war with Israel and the West is one of their grandest dreams. Unfortunately there are lots of signs this may in fact happen:

As the world’s leading powers met in Shanghai Wednesday to discuss ways to persuade Iran to abandon its nuclear program, Israel and Iran were exchanging threats of war; Syria was marshalling its army near the Golan Heights; Hamas was attacking Israeli troops along the Gaza Strip; and Hezbollah was muttering about avenging the assassination two months ago of its top military commander.

Spring in the Middle East frequently raises fears of war. This year war fever is intense.

According to the Qatari newspaper al-Watan, political and media sources in Syria believe war may break out with Israel in late May or early June.

The two countries last week conducted civil-defence drills predicated on a summer war, and Syria’s military has been conducting manoeuvres along its border with Lebanon and Israel. Reservists have been called up and Syrian troops are said to be strung along a continuous crescent-shaped line from the central Lebanese mountains to the Israeli-held Golan Heights.

Some speculate the Syrian deployment may be a defensive move designed to discourage an Israeli counterattack if Hezbollah launches a revenge attack on Israel for the Feb. 12 assassination in Damascus of Imad Mughniyeh.

The axis of evil has only this summer to make any grand statement. Iran is being crippled by the economic pressure being applied by the West, which is now being piled on Syria too. al-Qaeda is on the ropes, as is the Taliban. It may be the extremists are going to have to go “all in” here soon as their one last big effort before the end. Something to remember as a possibly unavoidable scenario in the endgame in the war on terror. Our enemy is suicidal, so as they are pressed they can go insane instead of broken and can do anything to save their cause.

It is probable that events have been building towards this last gasp for some time. Clearly there have been actions taken to reduce the ability of the madmen to invoke their last chance plans – if they have such things. For example, there are more indications Israel took out a nuclear weapons facility in Syria last fall, which greatly reduces the chance that any war this summer will end with victory for the Islamo Fascists:

“There are things that I’m not prepared to talk about,” the Israeli prime minister told Yediot Achronot in an interview published Thursday after being asked to provide details on what was bombed in northern Syria on Sept. 6.

But, he continued, “I’ll say only this: To the best of my knowledge, the residents of Israel are not threatened by Syrian nuclear weapons.”

Nuclear weapons in the hands of Syrian or Iranian forces, or even worse their terrorist puppets, would have been a signal of incredible magnitude that few in the West would not notice. I find it interesting that Israel is making clear, as have Bush and the French, that there will not be a nuclear armed Iran in the world:

Olmert said that the international community including Israel is trying to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear arms capabilities. “And I believe, and also know, that the bottom line of these efforts is that Iran will not be nuclear,” Olmert told Haaretz.

“I want to tell the citizens of Israel: Iran will not have nuclear capability,” added Olmert.

Clearly some in the West have their heads on straight. If we are facing an ever desperate Islamo Fascist dead enders then we want them to be as hobbled as possible when the do execute any last ditch plans.

Sadly the Surrendercrats running for President have al-Qaeda’s Zawahiri promised would happen if the Surrendercrats do what they say they will do:

In an hour-and-a-half long audio-taped message Wednesday night, Al-Qaeda Deputy Commander Ayman al-Zawahri vowed that with Allah’s help, they would target Jews worldwide.

“We promise our Muslim brothers that we will do the best we can to harm Jews in Israel and the world over, with Allah’s help and according to his command,” said al-Qaeda’s second in command.

…

The deputy commander predicted that global jihad (”holy” war) would spread once the U.S. pulls out of Iraq.

“I expect the jihadi influence to spread after the Americans’ exit from Iraq and to move toward Jerusalem,” he said.

There you have it, if the Surrendercrats do what they both promised to do we get all out war in the region – leading to possibly World War III and the use of nuclear weapons by Israel. Surrendercrats promise to withdrawal troops from Iraq and al-Qaeda’s co-leader (with ties to Saddam and other radical leaders in the region from his days as the leader Egyptian Islamic Jihad (EIJ)) promises that act will trigger war. How much clearer do the dots have to be for some folks? Do we need to apply them to a 2×4 first?

Zawahiri is actually the linch pin of much of this. His Egyptian Islamic Jihad terrorist group operated in Palestine and supposedly was funded by Iran according to Zawahiri’s home country of Egypt. Apparently he is the muscle to Bin Laden’s vision and money. I can easily see him working with Iran and Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas to bring about something bloody and spectacular to force the Surrendercrats to give al-Qaeda and their cousin organizations one last chance to survive and turn their fortunes around.

Now all they have is hope Surrendercrats will win in 2008. But that may be too late, so expect to see election year actions to push America to surrender Iraq sooner rather than later and ensure the election of a Surrendercrat. I don’t think that is what will happen in the minds of Americans, but I am pretty sure that is all the Jihadists see as their final option. They have misjudged Americans since 9-11, I see no reason indications they plan to stop screwing up now.
