#1 You've almost got to wish that the Spanish troops would mutiny and go drill Sadr themselves. It is difficult to imagine the shame these soldiers must feel to be ordered off the field of combat without completing their mission. I truly feel sorry for them.

The mullahs smell victory:

http://www.faithfreedom.org/oped/PotkinAzarmerh40418.htm

The Islamic Republic continues with its winning formulae of 1979 tactics, the Mullahs can smell victory and are pulling the rope tighter and tighter, the Free World on the other hand seems to be infected with the Shahâs indecisiveness in the last days of the Peacock Throne. They talk of assurances from Khatami's close allies that the Islamic Republic is not behind the uprisings! (See the Time Magazine this month).

I see many parallels between now and 1979, but victory for the Mullahs this time will not just mean pain and misery for the people of Iran , Iraq and Afghanistan . It will be the beginning of the end for the Western civilization that did not act decisively when its own survival was at stake, instead the dithering European politicians who continued with a losing formulae of what they preferred to call âcritical dialogueâ with Islamic Republic! A farce which was neither âcriticalâ enough nor a âdialogueâ with the paymasters of terror.---

#6 "It will be the beginning of the end for the Western civilization that did not act decisively when its own survival was at stake."

I worry about that because I donât think Western civilization even knows it's own survival is at stake. When it's clear that we have a serious situation on our hands, everyone prefers their happy "pretends" (especially in the media and among the liberal politicians and their followers--i.e., you can talk to the enemy, reason with the enemy, make concessions with the enemy, and make peace with the enemy.) Donât they know what the definition of "ENEMY" is? This isn't a talk show. It's not polite society, we're dealing with. It's so much easier to think it's "bad us and the United States government" that's the problem, so that we can maintain a (false) sense of control in an out of control situation. Comfort zones are so much more easy to maintain than truth and responsibility. Doesnât two towers full of innocent civilians at least equal Pearl Harbor? Whatâs it going to take this time?

Hopefully enough people in the West will catch up with the idea that throughout history, certain civilizations have risen up against other civilizations with the aim to conquer. It's a constant. The West has just had a break for some years, is all. This Islamic problem has been brewing for decades, and now, regardless of wishful thinking, it's "show time" once again.

If the ignorance that fuels the Islamotwerps' agendas cannot be eradicated in time from the larger population groups in the Arab lands (and I don't think it can), we will have no choice except to âfight to win,â no matter what-- like it or not. The most dangerous thing I see about this, is that the conflict centers around a prosperous, educated, stable, developed civilization, which is being duped by it's corrupt leaders (in the media, etc.), coming under fire from poor, uneducated, underdeveloped barbarian civilazation. If memory serves me correctly, that's a very dangerous combination, and barbarians have some definite advantages in such a construct--the main ones being that they are willing to fight to win, and that they make fighting, per se, their way of life. It's the only thing they do.

So how do we fight to win, without compromising the good things that actually make us great? How do we fight a moral war against the Islamo-sneaks who claim no country, no allegiance, no territory, and who claim to represent their "people" but really donât--or, do they (don't they, do they, don't they, do they)? Should all die for the crimes of the sneaks? How do we single the bad guys out? This war could go on for decades. (I know Iâm whining just a little, okay, maybe a lot, but Iâm somewhat overwhelmed by the magnitude of the WOT and all of the implications. I will allow myself to be encouraged, if any true Rantburgian would be so kind . . .)

Finally, the fact that these wicked, idiot non-men are killing OUR guys, just totally pisses me off. 40,000 of these psychos is not worth even ONE of our guys. I wish people could see what the Islamocreeps are really like--that most of them are fighting, not for political reasons, or for religious reasons, but just so they can personally prove their (nonexistent) âmanhood.â They sit around wearing turbans (the psychological symbol of constricted, obstructed manhood), holding their little guns, pretending to be men (and if they don't actually wear a turban, they still have turbans on inside their brains).

I'll bet hardly anyone on Rantburg (since most are not female) has any idea how completely frightening the Islamic bad guys are to female-kind. The idea of them gaining any ascendancy, whatsoever, in Western society, is unthinkable. We gotta win.

Rant concluded.

#7 Uh, ex-lib - why on earth do you think most Rantburgers are men?

The Islamizoids not so much frightening as disgusting - they totally piss me off. And if it comes down to a fight, I have my two friends to back me up: Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson.

Bring. it. on.

#8 Barbara, you GO, girlfriend!
Speaking as a woman, these IslamoNazis scare me bad.
I ain't wearing no burka!
(Although as I get older, it begins to have appeal...lol)
They treat women like dirt and for that, in my book, they deserve to die.

#9 Barbara: Hi. I always enjoy your comments on Rantburg, and I think I really need a formal introduction to your two friends, Smith and Wesson! Definitely would do me a world of good. I think the Islamoturds are disgusting, too. They only become frightening in the event that they gain power. Nobody could imagine the unimaginable regarding Hitler or Stalin either, and sometimes I get freaked out that there isn't a huge wave of public sentiment traveling through the West that "just says no" to terrorists. "- why on earth do you think most Rantburgers are men?" Well, you and Jen are the only ones I actually know about for sure, besides me, that is. Unless you're going to count Anti~~brain~~war as another. I can tell by the way they write, that most (not all) posters on Rantburg are men. I don't have a problem with that, natch, but it'd be encouraging in a certain sense, to know who's who.

Jen: Bad men such as the the Islamoturds, always give me bad, bad, vibes. They are so amazingly lawless. Death to them all. No regrets! I know--how about an army of highly trained sniper-babes in burkas, dispatched all over the Islamic "world of sh-t" to take these SOB terrorist wannabe-men down in a synchronized, coordinated effort? Since they think women are so worthless and stupid, they'd never even see it coming! Might be fun. Correction. Would be fun.

#10 Jeepers! All you people seem to yapyapyap about is war war war! Kill! Kill! Kill!

Shootin' and killin'. Killin' and shootin'.

I say Peace!
For the Terrorists...the peace of the grave.

I say Peace!
For the Islamists...the peace of history's dustbin.

I say Peace!
Through superior firepower. (insert gratuitous picture of large bore hangun or rifle of your choice)

Peace out.

(uh...most Rantburgers are men? Are they really?)
