Raging intellect
If you ever needed an example of disconnect between liberals and the war on terror, just check out this article from today's San Francisco Chronicle. In a profound epiphany, the Chronic reports that surrendering in Iraq won't be enough to stop jihad.| But experts on terrorism warn that extricating the United States from the increasingly unpopular war will not be enough to stop jihadists. |
I swear I didn't doctor that sentence.
If I am reading this correctly, the point of Anna Badkhen story is that we have to leave Iraq and stop fighting back because it's making terrorists mad. We should ignore their global jihad and let them declare war on western civilizations...because our involvement is only helping them recruit. What nut job comes up with this mess?
And Bill Clinton wonders why he's asked a tough question about not doing enough to stop terrorism. But it's the people of his own party who continue to use this retreat mentality as a way to peace. Not to mention we have countless stories like this that suggest our bravado in fighting terrorism has only emboldened jihadists.
Well duh! Did you think they would jump with glee and say "now that you've joined the fight we can all dance in the street?"
You don't get peace by retreat. You get dead Americans and a general public wondering what in the hell we were doing by not fighting these lunatics.
