Surge To Victory

By INVESTOR’S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Tuesday, May 27, 2008 4:20 PM PT

War On Terror: They said the surge would fail. They claimed we had no allies. They called Iraq a quagmire. They sought to cut and run. Now, our victories over terror are accelerating across the world.

I love this quote from the end of the article: IT’S A BAD TIME TO BE A TERRORIST.

This post is meant partly as tongue-in-cheek humor. Aside from the fact that it is talking about a very serious subject, their is, I think, some humor in the phrase I have put in bold. It seems Al Qaeda has some of the same problems that Republican political activists have. Never enough volunteers or money.

Al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri criticised Muslims for failing to support Islamist insurgencies in Iraq and elsewhere in a new audiotape posted Tuesday on the Internet.
Osama bin Laden’s top lieutenant also blasted Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas over their reported readiness to consider a peace deal with Israel.

“I call upon the Muslim nation to fear Allah’s question (at judgement day) about its failure to support its brothers of the Mujahedeen (holy Warriors), and (urge it) not to withhold men and money, which is the mainstay of a war,” he said.

The excerpt below comes from this article from “Joel’s Two Cents” column. How great is this quote below? Taking Stock: Day After Thanksgiving Edition — by Joel Achenbach

John McCain, despite having only two or three actual supporters in Iowa, can presumably claim that there’s nothing soft about his support. No sirree: His little band of followers will not flinch as he, in turn, follows bin Laden to the gates of Hell.

From: The CNN Political Ticker

I know we beat up on the MSM quite a bit (mostly justified), but they deserve a word of praise for this coverage. Although of course Obama would turn the gaffe into a political issue (as was expected). The MSM (CNN in this case) didn’t blow it out of proportion, and made it out to be what it was…a genuine mistake.

WASHINGTON (CNN) — It was only a slip of the tongue, but it’s hard not to notice when a presidential candidate is confused for the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.

Giving a speech before the Chamber of Commerce in Greenwood, South Carolina Tuesday, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney invoked Illinois Sen. Barack Obama’s name when he apparently meant to say Osama bin Laden.

“Actually, just look at what Osama — Barack Obama said just yesterday,” Romney said, according to the Associated Press. “Barack Obama calling on radicals, jihadists of all different types, to come together in Iraq. That is the battlefield.”

Romney campaign spokesman Kevin Madden called the remarks a “brief mix up.”

“Gov. Romney simply misspoke,” he said. “He was referring to the recently released audiotape of Osama bin Laden and misspoke when referencing his name.”

Meanwhile, Bill Burton, a spokesman for Obama, said, “Apparently, Mitt Romney can switch names just as casually as he switches positions, but what’s wrongheaded is continuing a misguided war in Iraq that has left America less safe.

“It’s time to end the divisiveness and fear-mongering that is at the heart of Gov. Romney’s campaign,” he added.

In January, CNN made the same mistake, accidentally displaying a graphic that said “Where’s Obama?” during a report on bin Laden. Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy also made the same slip in a 2005 speech.
