#1 And in other news:
Democrats have given Saddam Hussein a shocking vote of confidence in the latest Fox News Opinion Dynamics survey, with a solid plurality saying the world would be better off if the Butcher of Baghdad was still in power. Forty-one percent of Democrats gave Saddam a thumbs up, while just 34 percent said Iraq is better served with the murderous dictator gone, reports the New York Post.

In stark contrast, 78 percent of Republicans said toppling the mass-murdering leader left everyone better off. Just 10 percent said they wished Saddam still ruled Iraq.

On the question of whether President Bush lied to the American people about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction, 72 percent of Democrats say he did. Seventy-nine percent of Republicans disagreed, however -- saying that Bush gave the American people the best intelligence he had at the time.

#2 Well, I could certainly believe the terrorists are winning. I mean, listen to their stated goals: "I am prepared to die for Allah!" "We love death as you love life." "I will martyr myself for jihad!" And they have given 110% in achieving these goals. In fact, I would call the War on Terror a win-win situation. Keep up the good work, guys!

#3 Winning? BS! Bush chose to make alliances with Islamic tyrannies and pseudo democracies, and the result: the tyrannies hardened their positions while Islamofascist movements are poised to turf out the last remnants of Secularism in the Muslim gutter. Iraq? Shiite Iraq is effectively an Iranian colony. Iraqi Sunnis are at war with everybody. A recent Telegraph opinion poll reported 65% Iraqi support (more if Kurds are discounted) for attacks on US troops. Oil production is below 2003 levels. US troops now conduct few patrols, which explains the low number of IED deaths, while leaving huge areas of Iraq to genocidal militias. Where major attacks are made against terrorist strongholds, the enemy quickly fades into the harboring populace thereby squelching effective counter-terror. Culturally, the Shiites and Sunnis ape the same conspiracy garbage that comes out of the rest of those savage territories. When Bush first chose limited war measures against the only Secular government in Islamania,I wrote here that the US will face a hostile, burgeoning Islamofascist populace without effective means to neutralize the enemy. I also wrote that unless Bush resolves to liquidate Islamofascists on a mass scale the US will leave Iraq to the Iranian Mullatocracy, and will vacate same like the beaten dog simpering with its tail between its legs.

Screw US party politics! If someone in office has to balls to properly define the mortal Islamofascist menace, then the necessary annihilation can begin. Characterizing redundant Bush folly as victory is pure denial. The best case scenario that I can see is: massive public support for Israel when that sole bright light in the stangnant Middle East swamp, starts nuking Iran by February. Americans will come to realize that Kandahar whould have been turned to charcoal within a week of 9-11. Bush blew counter-terror. Only the American people can save that war. Islamofascist hearts and minds are for bullets.

#5 No, but it's Friday and the bars are open and football season doesn't have all that long to go. Not sure about the phase of the moon but no doubt it's at work in bringing out the moonbats on both extremes too LOL.
