Left-Wing Darling, Author Of Imperial Hubris Says A Vote For Democrats Is A Vote For Al Qaeda

• October 28, 2006

But what will bin Laden and his Islamist allies think? Well, if Republican defeat comes to pass, they will first thank the Almighty — “Allahu Akhbar!” or “God is the greatest!” — for tangible proof of approaching victory. In Spain, Thailand, and Britain — where Prime Minister Tony Blair suffered the fate of Messrs. Aznar and Thaksin for the same reason, but is leaving gracefully — al Qaeda and its allies see politicians winning power who argue: “The military option has been tried and it has failed. We must seek other-than-martial means to defuse the Islamists’ appeal and power.” As in Europe and Thailand, this has been the refrain of Sens. Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Charles Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Rep. Jane Harman, and a swath of Republicans who value their seats more than U.S. security.
If Americans vote for what sounds like sweet reason from the Democrats, bin Laden and company will rejoice. What they will hear is the death knell for any prospect of effective U.S. military resistance to militant Islam. With the Republicans out, the Islamists will be confident that Democrats will deliver the best of both worlds: less emphasis on military force and a rigid maintenance of U.S. foreign policies that are hated with passion and near-unanimity by 1.3 billion Muslims. If Osama approved of music, he would be whistling “Happy Days Are Here Again!”

read the whole thing.
That’s Michael F. Scheuer writing that, author of the fiercely anti-war book Imperial Hubris, which has been cited long and loudly by the left since its release.
If this guy gets it, why can’t the Democrats?

jape, having lost his point, get’s insulting:

Do you really think the guy is on the left if he thinks democrats are objectively pro-terrorist?

Yes, and as I already explained: “some small fraction of the BDS suffering left (obviously not including jpe) understand the stakes at play in Iraq and the consequences of being perceived to have repeated the Democrat’s consistent response when things even appear to get tough: cut and run.”

Which of course shortens to “Yes. he’s just a sane leftist who can see lightening and hear thunder.”

That’s even dumber than what usually passes for non-retarded analysis here.

I’m sure one such as yourself would percieve such in the manner you describe. Much safer to the psyche than to actually consider the argument.

What his stance tells us is that he’s yet another conservative that recognizes Bush is, at best, incompetent.

What say we evaluate that claim of incompetence in light of the record of terrorist attacks against the United States between the Bush fils administration and the previous administration?

Under Bush fils the terrorists had their greatest success less than a year after he was sworn in, and have and no successes since. Under the previous administration there was a continuous series of attacks of ever larger scale and impact, culminating in the attack set in train during his administration and falling 8 months into his successor’s administration.

If that, as you seem to be insisting, casts George W. Bush as the incompetent President and William J. Clinton as the competent President, then we need more of what you consider to be the incompetent.

Thank you for the opportunity to demonstrate what passes for logic and rational thinking amongst your ilk so clearly.

jpe japes:

The story here seems to be that even people that loathe the democrats recognize that Bush is a useless wanker.

No, what the quoted material demonstrates is that some small fraction of the BDS suffering left (obviously not including jpe) understand the stakes at play in Iraq and the consequences of being perceived to have repeated the Democrat’s consistent response when things even appear to get tough: cut and run.

Or maybe just a liberal with a brain.

No doubt in JPE’s psychedelic world, Joe Lieberman is a neocon as well.
