"More Americans are questioning U.S. strategy in Iraq."
The reason we have to look at this headline is because the MSM refuses to show the American people that we are fighting a real enemy. A vile, evil ideology of hate and murder that must be confronted.
Exactly what in the Presidents strategy are they questioning? Let's take a look at President Bush's most recent remarks Regarding Iraq and the War on Terror. Press Conference 8-4-05.
You can watch the video HERE.
Bush: We're defeating the terrorists in a place like Iraq so we don't have to face them here at home. And, as well, we're spreading democracy and freedom to parts of the world that are desperate for democracy and freedom.
The comments by the number two man of al Qaeda make it clear that Iraq is a part of this war on terror, and we're at war.
Bush: I vowed then that we would stay on the offense against these people. We owe it to the American people, and other freedom-loving countries, to bring these killers to justice. And that's what they are: they're terrorists, and they're killers. And they will kill innocent people trying to get us to withdraw from the world, so they can impose their dark vision on the world. That's what they're trying to do. And the comments today by Mr. Zawahiri absolutely reinforce what I've just told you.
We will stay the course, we will complete the job in Iraq. And the job is this: We'll help the Iraqis develop a democracy. They're writing -- in the process of writing a constitution, which will be ratified in October, and then they will elect a permanent government. It's also important for our citizens to understand that progress has been made, particularly when eight-plus million people got to vote in the face of Zawahiri and Sarawak and these killers.
We're also training Iraqis. Our troops will come home as soon as possible. "As soon as possible" means when those Iraqis are prepared to fight. As Iraq stands up, our coalition will stand down.
Fot those who 'disagree' with the President, just take a look at Al-Jazeera who aired this "exclusive" a few days ago. This is the evil killers the President is talking about. However, you never seem to see or hear about this from any of the 'talking heads'.
"Al-Qaeda Terrorists Promise to Slit the Throats of Americans and Jews in a New Film"
Transcript Via Memri:
Al-Arabiya reporter: In a film by the Al-Qaeda organization, excerpts of which are shown here in an Al-Arabiya exclusive, Al-Qaeda presents an ambush followed by an attack on an American army base in Kunar District in Afghanistan.
The film shows that the commander of the squad that carried out the operation is Abd Al-Hadi Al-Iraqi, who is also known as the Emir of the Arab Mujahideen in Afghanistan. He prepares a plan, using special squads from a number of countries. It is noteworthy that Al-Qaeda fighters from Britain, Ireland, France, and Pakistan, in addition to Arabs, speak in the film before the military operation.
Jihad fighter #1: [English] Oh people of the West, don't be fooled by the lies of Blair and Bush that you are free nations, for the only freedom that you have is the freedom to be slaves of your whims and desires.
Jihad fighter #2: [French] We the mujahideen swear, to all Muslims, the victims of unlimited and endless barbarism, that we will avenge their martyrs, and that we will slit the throats of the Americans and the Jews.
Jihad fighter #3: Come and join us. Join this blessed jihad. Come for the sake of Allah. Join us in this blessed jihad, with Mullah Omar and Sheik Osama bin Laden.
Do you think if the individual was read this exchange from Al-Jazeera and then asked whether or not they agreed with President Bush's Iraq policy, we'd get the same results?
What if they read these comments from Egyptian TV and then asked the question:
Sabahi: When the conflict is directed against the Americans, it is good. Any weapon that kills an American is good. Any gun aiming at the Marines is good. Any kidnapping or slaughtering of an American in Iraq is good.
What if the they read these comments from Saudi Tv and then asked the question:
Amara: Terrorism is not violence in the Koranic sense
If the MSM actually did it's job and informed the American people exactly what we are up against, I am quite positive we would see different results. As long as their agenda is to hide the face of the enemy from the American people, they'll be able to spit out polls that say just about anything.
SHAME.ON.THEM!
