I am absolutely aghast at the responses from the Administration and from the liberal press in the Ft Hood terrorist attack.
First of all, I am not inclined to call this merely a terrorist attack. It is a well thought out attack on several levels that no one will analyze.
Al Quaeda has committed a brilliant attack from their standpoint.
1. This terrorist group has accomplished its first goal of attacking on American soil in a well publicised attack that will be on the front pages for a long time.
2. They have made the American public aware that the fight is about to be carried to the American shores.
3. They have killed a substantial mount of Americans without having to kill civilians.
4. They have struck at our military and made them seem like bunglers and inept giants.
5. They have created confusion and discord in the public's mind which is the precursor to changing American opinion ( in their minds) against a war making it seem endless and now at our doorsteps
6. They have fulfilled one of their promises to take the fight to America, hoping to change the Arab world's opinion that Al Quaeda was meaningless now
7. They have gathered power through recruiting and funding
8. They have caused the military and our government to have to divert money, time and effort to improve security at home.
9. They have caused doubt in our leadership as to whether to send additional troops overseas, whether the resources are better used at home and whether the effort will show results.
10. they have created the classic diversion causing a refocus of our efforts at home rather than how badly they are being mauled in Pakistan , Iraq, and Afghanistan. Remember that Pakistan for the first time is pushing Al Quaeda and the Taliban out of their strong holds like never before. Pakistan. to its credit, has not been deterred by senseless terrorist bombings. In the long run, what have these attacks accomplished other than get press attention
Please remember what the Al Quaeda manual says about being captured. Blame your captors about inhumane treatment. What have we heard from Hassan? I am a victim....
Now as to the pathetic statements from the Administration and the Liberal Press. They agree that Hassan is an extremist and that his actions are unhinged. All agree that his actions are insupportable, and wrong. All agree that the massacre of these people was a tragedy.
ok. How about this? what about the fact that two countries are harboring and allowing training ( not including covert countries like Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, Somalia) of large numbers of these fanatics: Pakistan and Afghanistan. Remember that terrorist training camps were knocked out in the first days of the invasion of Iraq. How about the fact that the stated goal of these groups is the destruction of Israel, the US and Saudi Arabia? How about the fact that there are thousands of the same type of men as Hassan? How about the fact that these groups are trying to acquire nukes?
what is the difference between what was espoused by Hassan and the terrorists? why is one deranged and dangerous and the terrorist group? does it even matter? Does it matter whether Hitler was mad or not, whether his henchmen were or not, in terms of fighting them and destroying what they stand for?
where is the logic? whether he was or was not a terrorist is irrelevant. What is tremendously important is that the words, the thoughts and the acts are identical. the results are the same. stop splitting the hairs and wake up. the war is not over because you do not like the term terrorist.
look at the logic. be consistent
