Bush's America: 100 Percent Al-Qaida Free Since 2001

Posted: 06/12/2008

In a conversation recently, I mentioned as an aside what a great president George Bush has been and my friend was surprised. I was surprised that he was surprised.

I generally don't write columns about the manifestly obvious, but, yes, the man responsible for keeping Americans safe from another terrorist attack on American soil for nearly seven years now will go down in history as one of America's greatest presidents.

Produce one person who believed, on Sept. 12, 2001, that there would not be another attack for seven years, and I'll consider downgrading Bush from "Great" to "Really Good."

Merely taking out Saddam Hussein and his winsome sons Uday and Qusay (Hussein family slogan: "We're the Rape Room People!") constitutes a greater humanitarian accomplishment than anything Bill Clinton ever did -- and I'm including remembering Monica's name on the sixth sexual encounter.

But unlike liberals, who are so anxious to send American troops to Rwanda or Darfur, Republicans oppose deploying U.S. troops for purely humanitarian purposes. We invaded Iraq to protect America.

It is unquestionable that Bush has made this country safe by keeping Islamic lunatics pinned down fighting our troops in Iraq. In the past few years, our brave troops have killed more than 20,000 al-Qaida and other Islamic militants in Iraq alone. That's 20,000 terrorists who will never board a plane headed for JFK -- or a landmark building, for that matter.

We are, in fact, fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them at, say, the corner of 72nd and Columbus in Manhattan -- the mere mention of which never fails to enrage liberals, which is why you should say it as often as possible.

The Iraq war has been a stunning success. The Iraqi army is "standing up" (as they say), fat Muqtada al-Sadr --the Dr. Phil of Islamofascist radicalism -- has waddled off in retreat to Iran, and Sadr City and Basra are no longer war zones. Our servicemen must be baffled by the constant nay-saying coming from their own country.

The Iraqis have a democracy -- a miracle on the order of flush toilets in that godforsaken region of the world. Despite its newness, Iraq's democracy appears to be no more dysfunctional than one that would condemn a man who has kept the nation safe for seven years while deifying a man who has accomplished absolutely nothing in his entire life except to give speeches about "change."

(Guess what Bill Clinton's campaign theme was in 1992? You are wrong if you guessed: "bringing dignity back to the White House." It was "change." In January 1992, James Carville told Steve Daley of The Chicago Tribune that it had gotten to the point that the press was complaining about Clinton's "constant talk of change.")

Monthly casualties in Iraq now come in slightly lower than a weekend with Anna Nicole Smith. According to a CNN report last week, for the entire month of May, there were only 19 troop deaths in Iraq. (Last year, five people on average were shot every day in Chicago.) With Iraqi deaths at an all-time low, Iraq is safer than Detroit -- although the Middle Eastern food is still better in Detroit.

Al-Qaida is virtually destroyed, surprising even the CIA. Two weeks ago, The Washington Post reported: "Less than a year after his agency warned of new threats from a resurgent al-Qaida, CIA Director Michael V. Hayden now portrays the terrorist movement as essentially defeated in Iraq and Saudi Arabia and on the defensive throughout much of the rest of the world, including in its presumed haven along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border."

It's almost as if there's been some sort of "surge" going on, as strange as that sounds.

Just this week, The New York Times reported that al-Qaida and other terrorist groups in Southeast Asia have all but disappeared, starved of money and support. The U.S. and Australia have been working closely with the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia, sending them counterterrorism equipment and personnel.

But no one notices when 9/11 doesn't happen. Indeed, if we had somehow stopped the 9/11 attack, we'd all be watching Mohammed Atta being interviewed on MSNBC, explaining his lawsuit against the Bush administration. Maureen Dowd would be writing columns describing Khalid Sheik Mohammed as a "wannabe" terrorist being treated like Genghis Khan by an excitable Bush administration.

We begin to forget what it was like to turn on the TV, see a tornado, a car chase or another Pamela Anderson marriage and think: Good -- another day without a terrorist attack.

But liberals have only blind hatred for Bush -- and for those brute American interrogators who do not supply extra helpings of béarnaise sauce to the little darlings at Guantanamo with sufficient alacrity.

The sheer repetition of lies about Bush is wearing people down. There is not a liberal in this country worthy of kissing Bush's rear end, but the weakest members of the herd run from Bush. Compared to the lickspittles denying and attacking him, Bush is a moral giant -- if that's not damning with faint praise. John McCain should be so lucky as to be running for Bush's third term. Then he might have a chance.

    The line that stood out for me was *The Iraq war has been a stunning success.* "Say What!

    We're now trying to force Iraq to literally sign over the country to the US.

    While I agree the Administration deserves a little credit for the steps it took to disrupt Al Qaeda directly after 9/11 and since, it's pretty dangerous to get too cocky.

    Well...
    The largest terrorist attack on American soil DID happen on Bush's watch...

    Also, holding people without charge, or rights... a REALLY American thing to do...

    Yes because those terrorist attacks were such a HUGE problem before Bush came in to protect us.


    be afraid. You could die from a turrist at any time.....

    Eh? :confused:
    Al Qaeda is now bigger and stronger than ever. Also, what did Al Qaeda have to do with the invasion of Iraq? :confused:

    I read it all. Few questions.

    How big is the population of Chicago compared to the number of american troops in Iraq?

    Edit: Is it supposed to inspire confidence that Iraq's safer than cities in your own country?

    Whats the point of the CIA? they don't seem to be able to get anything right!

    How the fuck do you get to be taken seriously as a writer when half your content is racist jokes and slander?

    I get the feeling this writer is very comfortable making fun of people different than her and with different veiws.

    I wonder if she gives Bill Clinton credit for preventing another foreign terrorist attack for the rest of his presidency after the first WTC bombing in '93...

    Who said anything about Iraq? I didn't say the Administration deserves credit for EVERYTHING IT'S EVER DONE.

    I don't think some of you even bother to read.

    The only point I plan to make on this thread is this: 9/11 was (going on) seven years ago. Nothing you can say will convince me that Al Qaeda would not have LOVED to have wreaked more havoc on our shores in the seven years since. There's nothing you can say that will convince me that, if left to its own devices, Al Qaeda WOULD HAVE wreaked havoc again on our shores in the past seven years.

    There has to be some reason they haven't. And it's not because they've finally decided to agree with our foreign policy. It's not out of the goodness of their hearts.

    Eh ... that's just Coulter's schtick. Like most "talk-show" folks on both sides of the aisle, she is about entertainment, first and foremost.

    I met Ann Coulter at a Starbuck's in NJ last year and she is every bit as hateful in person as she is in her books. Just a disgusting excuse for a human being.

    HAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH.


    Where is this guy living.


    Lets forget the biggest terrorist attack in history happened during Bush's watch.

    Let's forget terrorist attacks against American forces have happened more often than any other time in our history.

    Let's forget he's turned Iraq into a battelfield.

    Let's forget he's turned a 200 billion dollar surplus into a huge defecit.

    and on and on....

    right.
