#1 Latin Americans refer to Mushy practices of string-pulling GWB while indulging jihadis, as: doble cara (two-faced). Paki support for Taliban/al-Qaeda should have signalled the beginning of the end of their sick country after 9-11. Instead...

LA Times, on GWB's settlement with that closet pacifist - al-Sadr:
"If accepted, the plan would allow Sadr to remain free in Najaf for the time being and clear the way for him to transform his militia into a legitimate political party."

"It is the second time in recent weeks that U.S. officials have found it necessary to step back from their original aims in order to end bloodshed."

"In the battle over the Sunni Muslim stronghold of Fallouja, U.S. officials dropped demands that insurgents there be "pacified" and surprised many by pulling out of the city and handing over authority to a former general in Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's army. U.S. troops had entered Fallouja after the killings and mutilations of four American civilian contractors..."

Hmmm. When GWB chose to force armistice arrangements between the Northern Alliance and Afghan Talibanis, he set the stage for status quo war, in the name of "freedom." How about freedom-from Islamofascist koranimals? Kill them all.

#3 Raptor---The one that sticks in my craw the most was reading a reporter's text of having a bunch of Taliban bottled up in a town in the north of Afghanistan near Mazaar-e-sharrif, and his amazement of seeing aircraft going in and out when the Taliban were under seige. Turns out that there were a bunch of Pakistani officers in there too, and we had to make some kind of deal with Perv to save their sorry asses from annhilation. Gaaaaak!

#4 Considering this is the only muslim country with nukes, do you wonder that getting rid of the Perv and declaring an islamic theocracy is a main strategic goal?
