Another Satan Emerges

The Belmont Club

The Great Satan (Al-Shaytan Al-Akbar) now has company. No not just the Jews. Nor even the godless Russians. Nor the Indians. Make way for the Chinese. The News reports that the "attack on Chinese nationals in Balochistan is said to be the first reaction to Chinese government’s steps to curb Muslim insurgency in its own territory." This follows on recent attacks by Islamic radicals on Chinese in Islamabad. What's it all about? The Online Times describes the ongoing war between China and Islam on its Western boundaries.

Obama: Don't stay in Iraq over genocide

Link to MSNBC

SUNAPEE, N.H. - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Thursday the United States cannot use its military to solve humanitarian problems and that preventing a potential genocide in Iraq isn’t a good enough reason to keep U.S. forces there.

Sad and pathetic is all I have to say. Lives in Darfur are just as important as lives in Iraq in my opinion. I do think we should have done something in Darfur but we didn't that doesn't mean you leave Iraq and let millions die. Why would Democrats care though, they let a few million people die when they forced U.S. forces to leave Vietnam too. What's a few million lives when you can win an election right?

Gen. Pace: Iraq Has Turned Around

Link to Captian's Quarters In his most optimistic remarks since the U.S. troop buildup began, Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said Tuesday that Iraq has undergone a "sea change" in security in recent months, and that this will influence his recommendation to President Bush on how long to continue the current strategy. After conferring with Maj. Gen. Walter Gaskin and other commanders in this provincial capital west of Baghdad, Pace told reporters he has gathered a positive picture of the security environment not only here but also in Baghdad, where he began his Iraq visit on Monday.

Don Surber: Byrd and Clinton want to surrender

"The American people have waited long enough for progress in Iraq," Byrd and Clinton wrote. "They have waited long enough for the Iraqis to take responsibility for their own future."

Really? The war lasted three weeks. The occupation is in its fourth year.

So what? The North occupied the South for 12 years, and had it hung on a few more years, civil rights would have arrived for black Americans about 80 years sooner.

American troops are still in Germany. It took 10 years just to calm West Germany down and begin its "economic miracle," i.e. Americans bought what West Germany produced, no matter how awful it may have been.

American troops are still in South Korea. It took a good 20 years to establish a democracy there. My brother-in-law still recalls the deprivations he faced when he served in Korea.

That was in the 1970s.

American troops are still in Kosovo, helping prevent the very genocide that the editors of the New York Times suggest is OK in Iraq.

American troops are still in Afghanistan.

I won't go into how long we occupied Italy and Japan. My point is made.

High Gas Prices, Blame Pelosi!

Washington Post Columnist Blames High Gas Prices on Nancy Pelosi Great article pointing out how absurd "political points" are. I find it ridiculous that each side tries to blame one another for something mostly out of their control. I aslo think it's idiotic when a President tries to take credit for the economy, when they have very little to do with the ups or downs.

The World's Police

I always scoff when people think the U.S. should be an isolationist country. I think that might have been okay before WWII but it's no longer possible. So, the question is, which country would try and run the world if they had the chance? China Applies Muscle in America It's articles like that one that make me think it's okay if the U.S. tries to influence or pressure the world to behave how we'd like them too. I sure as hell wouldn't want China in charge of things.
