We Want An Iraq Civil War – Duh!
Linda Chavez made the obvious point many have missed in her article out today: The article is about whether or not Dems are anti-war or anti-troop. But the real question is will the Dems become anti-America? Here is the crux of all this – we want a small civil war in Iraq and we want one side to win and we need to make sure that side wins. Sound strange? Only to those in the surrendermedia and liberal far left echo chamnbers. Here is Chavez’s point:
The problem in Iraq is not the performance or the mission of American forces. The biggest problem is that Iraq has become a battleground in an Islamic jihad against not only America and the West, but non-Islamist Muslims. Al Qaeda targets the Shiite population, while Iran and its puppets in Iraq target the Sunnis. This is not civil war as commonly understood but a proxy war between two radical extremes in the Islamic world.
There is not fighting between the radical Islamo Fascists of the Shiia persuasion and the Sunni (al Qaeda) persuasion. The Islamo-Fascists are attacking the moderate Muslims trying to enrage them into sectarian violence. But so far it has not really worked. This is the war between Islamo Facists and ‘mainstream’ Muslims we have needed to take shape. The civil war is the extremists against the Arab/Muslim street.
For most of the Iraqi forces here the areas they patrol are familiar. They know the people, the area, and who does not belong. This is where they grew up.
“This is my home,†said one Iraqi policeman, who asked not to be identified due to concerns about his family’s safety. “We grew up here and know people here. (Terrorists) need to leave or they die here.â€
This is a huge advantage for the U.S. military which has seen its share of conflict spring up in this area.
We cannot change Islam alone. We can ally with those Muslims who are willing to reject and throw off the Islamo Fascists. We see indications ALL OVER Iraq that the brutality of the Islamo Fascists is turning the tide in our direction. Anbar Province is now primarily aligned against al Qaeda and extremists. Diyala Province is following suit. In the broader sense Saudi Arabia is fighting back as is Jordan and Pakistan and Afghanistan. Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and The UAE are solidly against the Islamo Fascists. We have wanted the Muslims to take up this fight and stand for peace and co-existence and they are.
And this is the ‘civil war’ the Dems claim we do not want? This is the quagmire? No wonder they are known only for the most spectacular loss in America’s history. They are so oblivious they cannot see success when it is sprouting up all around them. The Hagel’s and Kerry’s of the world are known for their failure in Vietnam – and now they want company. They want a new generation of admirers who can claim ‘we failed just like you did’. They are not going to get them. This generation is more like my father’s – the WW II generation. They are smart, savvy, fearless – and for them ‘failure’ is still not an option. Watching the boomers fade is turning out to be a lot worse than I thought (I am at the tale end of the boomer generation). There are lots of great boomers – don’t get me wrong. President Bush comes to mind. But the group has some serious issues as we can see in the likes of Hagel and Kerry. They are so desperate to salvage their reputations that they become dedicated to creating another Vietnam no matter what the cost. Thankfully, they will fail at that too.

Ah yes Kelly’s Hero’s, our friend SS loves that movie. It’s the reason I have hope for SS to some day pull through.
Dumb and Dumber the movie that put RI on the map.
I expected the Rocky Mountains to be a little rockier than this.
I was thinking the same thing. That John Denver is full of sh!t, man.
Every time my son goes out in the car or flying with me he seems to want to say “Right turn Clyde”.
Of course there is the neoclassic line.
“We have both types of music , country and western”
from the Blues Brothers.
Sorta ranks right up there with a non comedy movie line
“Were gonna need a bigger boat”
A cute movie was Short Circuit.
The Blues Brothers rule. I laughed my @ss off when Carries Fisher has the M-16 on Jake, and he’s trying to be cool about it, then just completely losses it.
I ran out of gas. I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! It wasn’t my fault, I swear to god!
Another Belushi favorite of mine is Animal House. He carried that movie, and then some. That movie was great because the reason they fought back to stay in school, the draft. Sure say they were ducking the draft, but compare their reasons to staying in to any other college movie and they all pale in comparison. Belushi in front of the Deans office in the middle of the night, black clothes, white socks, and he’s doing jumping 180’s out in the open trying to be stealthy. Classic!!! His sweat shirt that just said college, and his pep speech.
Bluto: Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he’s rolling.
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious s**t.
For soothie from Braveheart
The almighty says he can get me outta this, but he’s pretty sure you’re f*cked.
In order to converse with an equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God.
“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!”
I believe we have just blog napped this thread.
“The last miracle I did was the 1969 Mets. Before that, I think you have to go back to the Red Sea.”
When you’re arguing with a fool, make sure he isn’t doing the same thing.
God gave us all men a penis and a brain, but only enough blood to run one at a time.
I stayed up all night playing poker with tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.
I wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence. There’s a knob called “brightness”, but it doesn’t work.
Another for the Sooth
Never argue with an idiot.
They drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Soothie
Wants to do new math because they can find a poll that drags the average down.
Could we expect a fair assessment from Sooth and also see a pointer to a higher poll. Not likely there is a message to spin.
You know unbiased , fair and balanced, take all the lumps no matter how they fall instead of cherry picking.
If you have to stoop to that you have a problem. Myself I go for what the data tells me without bias. If it goes against my desires, then I say ok I am not where everyone else seems to be, but I don’t get a lot of heart ache over it.
Sooth has an agenda that overrides reason just because they believe it should be so.
He has a Rove fixation.
Personally I thought Rove would have dropped out of the administration after the 2006 election and moved out of that little office he had in the White House to an office down the street with a whole floor of office space and staff to head up the republican war plan.
He could have gotten out of the loop as far as fishing expeditions can go.
No progress from the congress and fishing expeditions that are becoming tired soap operas.
Unless someone can come up with a smoking gun soon, this ain’t gonna play well in fly over America.
The dems may be playing sock puppets for the nut roots, but the middle America independents are watching with more than one eye.
The dems already had to make a win with some blue dog dems that were in the conservative mode.
I don’t know what the future holds. But it sure looks iffy.
