POPSBush: No more Islamist jihads. Obliterated are jihadists, mujahideen, Islamofascist. So no more "glamorising terrorism, or imbues terrorists with religious authority they do not have and so damaging relations with Muslims around the world." Pity he didn't realize this BEFORE he sullied America's name in the Muslim world. Bit late now to smell the grass. You might expect to know what you should call your Muslim friends now. Well 'the memo warns: "Don't compromise our credibility" by using words and phrases that may ascribe benign motives to terrorists' but no useful info for the few neocon clippers. I expect it'll be back to swiftboating now.

POPSThe ‘Useful Idiots’ Of Militant Islam
Saudi-funded publications admonish Muslims in America “to dissociate from infidels, hate them for their religion, never to rely on them for support, and always oppose them in every way according to Islamic law.” The question: how was it that among the estimated five million Muslim Americans with hugely varied institutions, the president’s advisors picked a Saudi Islamofascist ghetto as a venue? A major New York Times Magazine article argued fervently on behalf of “Islamic democrats” singing the praises of a reborn Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. An essay in Foreign Affairs, a weighty establishment publication titled “The Moderate Muslim Brotherhood.” Mild Islamism is an oxymoron. Sharia law, which sanctions beating of wives and stoning for adultery, is irreconcilable with human rights. The Muslim Brotherhood founded Hamas, calls suicide bombings a good thing, and is the 21st-century version of the organized fascism of Hitler and Mussolini in the last century.

POPSAl Qaeda's Fantasy Ideology: War Without Clausewitz
The poison of the radical Islamic fantasy ideology is being spread all over the Muslim world through schools and through the media, through mosques and through the demagoguery of the Arab street. In fact, there is no better way to grasp the full horror of the poison than to listen as a Palestinian mother offers her four-year-old son up to be yet another victim of this ghastly fantasy. The fantasy ideologies of the twentieth century were plagues, killing millions and millions of innocent men, women, and children. The only difference was that the victims and targets of such fantasy ideologies so frequently refused to see them for what they were, interpreting them as something quite different, as normal politics, as reasonable aspirations, as merely variations on the well-known theme of realpolitik, behaving, tragically enough, no differently from Montezuma when he attempted to decipher the inexplicable enigma posed by the appearance of the Spanish conquistadors.

POPS"Shallow Throat" Sizes Up the Dem/GOP Candidates
Shallow Throat laughed. "Well, of course Obama or Clinton would be better than who my party is likely to put up. But we're talking about the need for a MASSIVE overhaul in all areas of post-Cheney/Bush politics, and re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic that is Iraq is not my idea of anything major happening. The mindset that allows for war in that region of the world will not alter all that much. But, you're right, the Dems would change the tone and priorities a bit and maybe that's all we can hope for at this stage." "That's what I'm saying!"I nearly shouted. "Maybe these are not the candidates you or I would have chosen as the Democratic Party's nominee, but they are infinitely better than the rabid warhawk McCain, who knows honor and duty and 'patriotic' warfare and stay-the-course but not much about diplomacy and peace and when enough is enough. He's still fighting the Vietnam War in his head and the 'Islamofascist extremists' are, to him, the 'gooks' (his terms) of the 2

POPSCongressional Paul Revere Warns Nation About Islamofascist Threat Thank goodness. I wish more people would become educated and not have to learn a disastrous national lesson the hard way. The illustration of the innocent frog in the slowly heated water comes to mind. The signs are all around us. Naive Americans believe they are exempt from the terrors and destruction that swept away other great nations.

POPSNeo-Cons on Iran: From Ignorant to downright Insane This is a worthy article in general - one of the better ones you'll see fro Krugman (although it is still annoyingly conversational, at least he isn't Maureen Dowd!) He makes a good point: that fear is what our leaders embrace, not courage. I'm sick and tired of Americans who are scared. I for one am not scared of terrorists, and anyone who lives their life in fear is an idiot. (Probably a manipulated idiot.) But the real gem is when Krugman calls it like it is on Iran. Podhorertz and others like him have departed so far from reality that they are basically making things ups as they go along. I expect next that Commentary will be linking Iran to Voldemort, Darth Vader, and the Dark Lord Sauron. They are so blatantly disconnected from reality, and yet, people listen to them! That's the part I don't understand. Even a student in a High School Social Studies class should be able to tell you the difference between Iran and Al Qaeda.

POPSIgnoring the Elephant at the U.N. < "Faced with a ruthless and determined enemy that celebrates death over life and poses an inimical threat to Western civilization, we dance gingerly around the problem, as if it is not quite a subject for polite company. We talk of "extremists" as if the threat were from random hooligans who come from nowhere, have no strategy and represent no agenda." >

POPSThe Case for Bombing Iran As I have always said - Iraq is but a campaign in the greater war. It is essentially positioning our forces for a strike on Iran that if successful will be the end game in this war against islamofascism.

POPSBuzz Patterson's new book: WAR CRIMES Interesting interview. This book is on its way to me. I have some of his other books, it's shocking to know what has happened with the democratic party; they've taken a departure from reality; but understanding what's going on is a first step to defeating their efforts.

POPSFrance: Hizbullah is not a terror group Not surprising. Thierry Meyssan, president of the virulently anti-American and pro-Communist French think tank Reseau Voltaire promotes the conspiracy theory in his best selling book, L’Effroyable Imposture (the Frightening Deception), that American Airlines Flight 77 did not hit the Pentagon. Americans have since caught on to that, as the Truther movement shows. The french are...to say the least...a little off-base.

POPSA mighty hit on al Qaeda. Lots of busy virgins in hell. Latest count of dead islamofascist scum is 70, and still counting. Finally we have a general with brains and balls. Even though he doesn't have enough troops or enough time, the great generals still succeed, in spite of our cowardly defeatocrats.

POPS CBS News fires producer for plagiarism There was a time when liberals were known for their creativity. Unable to effectively handle affairs of state, they were best at poetry, music, and buggery. It now appears they have lost their creativity, so empty is their pathos, so drained of their humanity. Thus we have plagiarism at the New York Tmes - the islamofascist's principal propaganda arm, and the similarly aligned network, CBS. Now we await examples from NBC and the rest of the 5th column.

POPSPut the Hurt on Iran We are now well positioned to put a major hurt on Iran. Rest assured they will commit some act, so outrageous, as to finally, unequivocally, cause ALL Americans and freedom loving people, to realize it as a causus belli. We must hammer them.
