Rope a Dope
Alec Rawls claims the Dems are being duped into duping al Qaeda.
How do we get our Islamo-fascist enemy to keep throwing resources into a battle that it has already lost and where it is rapidly being destroyed both militarily and politically? Pretend we are losing:
Most U.S. troops will leave Iraq within a year because the Army is “broken, worn out” and “living hand to mouth,” Rep. John Murtha told a civic group.
This is my theory about President Bush’s delayed push-back against Democrat and MSM defeatism on Iraq. Defeatism encourages the Islamo-fascists to keep fighting in Iraq, where the only thing they can possibly accomplish is to make the Iraqi people hate them even more. Not only are the Islamofascists getting shredded, but the political price they are paying is crucial to our ultimate aims.
It has long since been inevitable that Iraq will soon enough be democratic, and that it will soon enough be fully capable of annihilating those elements that do not submit to democracy. The one battle that still has (or had) an uncertain outcome is the political one. By continuing to fight, the Islamo-fascists are handing this victory to us too. Blowing up random Iraqis is giving intolerant Islam the worst possible name, and destroying any possibility that the Islamo-fascists will be able to compete politically.
Error Theory
An interesting theory. It makes me wonder whether the rush to investigate the ‘outing’ of pseudo-secret agent Plame might be a another case of Dems being duped. The greatest source of leaks concerning the CIA is the CIA itself. If the Plame case merited an investigation, so do some others. Perhaps it is time for some house cleaning.

With this one dude, thou hast achieved total heavy-osity.
My work is not in vain.
Allora!
My God! The pure genious of these people!
Clearly, Bush is the reincarnation of Marcus Aurelius himself. No no. Not Aurelius. Yey verily, He is Arthur, the Once and Future King with Karl Rove as Merlin weaving sorcery to snare unsuspecting Democrats in crystal cages.
Marcus Aurelius’ death lead to the end of the Pax Romana, and the eventual fall of the Roman Empire. He was a great man.
Current President George W. Bush’s selection, not election, by the United States Supreme Court in 1980 was the beginning of the end of the American Empire. He is not a great man.
Comparing “Shrub” Bush to Marcus Aurelius is ludicrous; it’s like comparing Lao Tsu to a garden slug.
It doesn’t require genius to outwit the party of Dean and Kerry.
There is no American Empire, and there never has been. But American power has never been greater. And not matter how many times you wish it otherwise, Al Gore lost. Too bad. So sad.
As a practicing attorney, I know well the fundamental constitutional law principle that state courts are the ultimate arbitors of their own laws. Justice Scalia’s use of equal protection principles to violate this core element of American federalism was brilliant, but none the less mendacious and wrong.
If you think there is no American Empire, then I want some of what your smokin’. As to whether we are seeing the beginning of its decline and fall, only time will tell.
Dean and Kerry don’t need to be outwitted; they shoot themselves in their feet.
Oh, yeah. Now I remember the Empire. All those nations we conquered and enslaved. Japan, Germany, the Phillipines, Guam, Korea.
I’m glad we didn’t keep France.
Colony A: Puerto Rico. Colony B: The Sandwich Islands. Colony C: New Mexico. ….
The list of assasinated and/or elimated rulers of nations, by the “democracy” lovin’ USA is a long, ugly one. Guatemala in ‘53 comes first to mind; and the Contras in Nicaruagua is one of the top five Constitutional Crimes of the 20th Century.
To wit, empires evolve.
The British never enslaved India. Also, reread Joseph Contrad’s Heart of Darkness.
