We know that some, even though al-Qaeda tried to kill them, our military leaders, and us, don't seem to care they're sounding in validation of Qaedan propoganda the USA is a crusader in Iraq to grab oil for its lonesome...but hey, those same some aren't about to let any avoidable disruption of terrorism slide, and know most Americans are not going to support such ideas; some can thus safely employ partisan rodomontade against political opponents at home as wasting our money and lives abroad, while at the same time enjoying the very safety they too vigorously seek...sort of just political sand in the eyes of country people.
It would be one thing if non-Conservatives left appeasement of Middle Eastern terrorists as the intent to offer an election year up and down vote option for the People, an option of defeat.
But that validation of Qaedan dogma doesn't stop there, and how can it, since Latin American leaders parrot it as well, and some like Chavez actually have gone on record as in solidarity with Mid-East terror groups. The non-Conservative response approach here seems to be a parlay of the energy invested into squawking over Iraq: why yes, Socialist autocrats and other collectivized capital types ARE right about America being such a crusader.
Then how the Iraq squawkers describe the current USA: it has the pre-EPA, 1960's military-industrial edifice, and is dominated in commerce, work, and benefits to different degrees by aggressive and abusive Caucasian and African-American males; Iraq squawkers are trying to end their reign of conquest abroad, and are pushing to get women and Latins into the workforce, most of which commonly earns in the neighborhood of $250K or more per year at jobs; you see, the bad men are shipping off what they can't fill at home to other hemispheres, and Iraq squawkers will stop that and fill those jobs which could just sensibly go to our Latin brothers and sisters, just like the leader forced to collectivize you told you; we Iraq squawkers so deeply believe in our words and promises to you that we think we can easily expand public housing and public healthcare and foodstamps to you if we can just make permanent no USA borders...and to think some ask us Iraq squwkers just what the heck diplomatic or workforce critical jobs you'll be doing when you get El Norte...the racist and abusive bad guys! See, that's why we Iraq squawkers have Al Gore telling THEM to cut back on all that over-consumption raping poor Chavezland of its oil, and tell YOU the truth that Lula and Chavez turning rain forests into labyrinth pipelines isn't causing global warming, it's that ever-present 1960's style huge USA military-industrial pollution.
Inevitably, many Latins and others get here, and say things in the nature of "ummm...ese, I have some questions...", which Iraq squawkers then cut off with "oh come on, you of all people should know you can trust no-trail voting machines made by Chavez", while Iraq squawkers try to sneak in "proof" of Freud's take on determination via bills to defund the war on terror and defense generally, throw open borders and customs, and ram through government-dictated housing, healthcare, non-farming, non-free trade, and ability of States and Cities to run exclusive casinos amid seas of housing, a few Wal-Marts, and the usual strip malls...in short, deepening and making permanent the status quo, sans ANY defenses whatever, and defended in future as States and such deem politically or workforce critical on terms known only to officials.
This is why for 2008 I support Conservative candidates, and continue to approve of acceptance of the Petraeus Iraq report.
