Bill Roggio, who's back from Iraq, has a good roundup of the state of Jihad in the world at the beginning of 2007.

Roggio seems to indicate it's not going well,
I'm surprised Simberg isn't complaining
about his defeatist, liberal worldview.

Pssst......here is a hint......read the WHOLE article, not just the part about Iraq.

P.S. You are welcome Anonymous 88

let's see

Iraq, which is often dissociated from the war, is a major theater for al-Qaeda, as both Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri have stated in numerous communications. Afghanistan has seen its bloodiest year since the U.S. invasion in late 2001. The Taliban and al-Qaeda have fought the Pakistani government to a standstill and have taken over portions of the country. The countries of Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and Bangladesh simmer, and continue to serve as support bases for al-Qaeda's activities.

Al-Qaeda and its allies have initiated hot wars in lesser known countries such as the Philippines, Chechnya, Somalia, and Algeria. Thailand is fighting a serious insurgency against ill-defined groups of Muslim insurgents

So How come Simberg isn't calling Roggio a defeatist
and a tool of the liberal elite?

Oh, wait, now you think Iraq is a part of the war? An important part, even? One worth fighting for?

Thank you.

That was a quote from Roggio.

Me, I think Iraq has as much to do with a
war on Terror as Canada has to do with
the Watch Business.

After weeks of nonsense like this, all non-moronic readers here are wondering why you think that any of us care what idiocy you think.

Simberg

The right wing echo chamber, your neo-con
leaders have fashioned has gone off-key.

You can keep on banging the drum for war
and I will wonder why if you so want a war with
Iran, you won't pick up a rifle, or
pay a dollar in war taxes.

I don't know why you can't create your own blog, chickenhawk.

leland

let me remind you of the definition

Chickenhawk n. A person enthusiastic about war, provided someone else fights it; particularly when that enthusiasm is undimmed by personal experience with war; most emphatically when that lack of experience came in spite of ample opportunity in that person’s youth.

Foobarista is right, Leland; chickenhawks would be disgraced to be seen in its company.

John,

You are right. By the definition presented, a chickenhawk is light years above a hypocrit, which is what he is.

Lelead,

He is an anti-semite. Call him what he is, a Jew-Hater. Can't you hear his Jackboots clomping on the pavement?

Mike

Say what you want, but to oppose a policy of israel
is not anti-semitism, no matter what you may want it to be.
To find simberg a disgusting slive weevil is not to
be a jew hater, but, rather a desperate hope that some
day Simberg may grow up, realize his sins and seek
absolution and forgiveness. Preferably after
doing his time at Spandau.

Oh noes, Rand, Anonymous Idiot has condemned you to listening to Spandau Ballet.

You should consider taking anonymous's "contributions" and running them through one of the random poetry creators on the web.
