Support for Kyl-Lieberman Equals Support for Al Qaeda
Support for Kyl-Lieberman Equals Support for Al Qaeda
by Ralph Lopez
Tue Sep 25, 2007

With Al Qaeda having already stated it's plan to entangle us in the Middle East and thus bleed our economy white, it's clear that the expansion of the war into Iran would suit that goal nicely. Bin Laden and his lieutenants understood the strategy of avoiding set-piece battles and bleeding the Russians in a 10-year war of attrition, the only way to bring down a superpower. So a vote for the Kyl-Lieberman declaration of war on Iran is a vote for Al Qaeda.
This Al Qaeda strategy goes hand-in-hand with the goal of an American presence which fuels resentment of our allied regimes and eventually causes them to fall. With worldwide revulsion at 9/11 taking its toll on bin Laden's popularity, it was up to George Bush to overplay his hand.

This he did nicely. Now bin Laden is taking advantage of our being bogged down in Iraq, and the inflamed anti-American climate the occupation has caused. It's time for Osama to send Bush a big rum-soaked fruit cake for allowing him to go forward perfectly according to plan in Pakistan, even as we contemplate war with Iran...
>>>>>>

Only by forcing him out of office, through impeachment, can we outsmart bin Laden, whose plans are going swimmingly. George Bush is playing checkers, while bin Laden is playing chess. Only by impeachment can we put enough distance between Bush and the rest of us to cause Muslims who have not yet taken sides to ponder whether Bush and America are one and the same. Once positions have hardened in the wrong direction, warns Scheuer, we are in for "a hundred years war drenched with blood on our own soil."

1. YES!
Georgie and Mahmood are working in concert... bringing conflict closer and closer, and Osama is sitting pretty in Pakistan just biding his time.

2. I wrote both my Senators asking them to vote no on the bill

You never know how Cardin and Mikulski will go on some of this stuff, so I figured I would let them know how I feel.

edited to add: They are basically good democratic Senators, but their vote on the Move-On resolution pissed me off.
