November 29, 2004
3-11, 9-11 Linked: FBIIn case any Spaniards weren't sure, yes, we are all Americans now: MADRID (Reuters) - The FBI has established the clearest link yet between the March 11 Madrid train bombings and the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, a Spanish newspaper reported Sunday. There's an old joke about two hunters being chased by a bear. One hunter begins stripping off his clothes in order to run faster. "There's no point doing that," the other hunter says. "Naked or not, you can't run faster than a bear." The first hunter strips off his shirt and says, "I don't have to run faster than the bear; I just have to run faster than you." That strategy may work with bears, but it doesn't seem to be working with respect to Al Qaeda, as Holland has lately learned. There are two theories regarding why Al Qaeda hates us. Bush's version is that they hate us "for our freedom," or, more loosely, they simply hate us for what we are and what we represent, including, as Osama bin Ladin so frequently lectures us, 1000 years of Muslim "humiliation." The other theory is that they hate us for our foreign policy, or, more loosely, for what we do. And if we just change what we do, we can appease them. The left attacks Bush for what they believe is his childish refusal to accept that if we just sold out Israel, Al Qaeda might be appeased. But the truth is that both theories are true; they hate us for both what we are and what we do. And this makes Bush's formulation more true, and it makes the liberals' and Europeans' attempts to appease futile. Yes, you can change what you do, but you can never -- short of accepting Islamofascist rule -- change what you are. Even if Euorpe accepted Al Qaeda's terms jot by tittle, there'd still be that nagging little problem of 1000 years of Muslim humiliation, and that minor little holy imperative to conquer the world and bring it into the Dar al Islam. It's no great victory to be butchered by maniacs who do so with a little less relish than they might reserve for Americans. posted by Ace at 02:10 AM
CommentsOkay, what the hell is "jot by tittle"?!?!?! Great post, by the way. I notice that the same type of evidence that ABC reports without comment which ties Atta to the Madrid (went to Spain, met with some guys) bombings is the same type of evidence (went to Prague, met with some Iraqi security agents) that the MSM has dismissed as insignificant in the case of a 9/11 Iraq connection. Hmmmmmm, apparently Iraq is the ONLY place on the globe OBL and his goons didn't operate. But you've heard that song before. Posted by: Sharkman on November 29, 2004 02:56 AM

In the name of Allah the Merciful, the All Powerful, and the Omnipotent, Spain shall be united under the Prohphet Mohammed once again! For where the Moslem sets his foot, he occupies the land. Osama speaks the truth: we are avenging 1000 years of tyranny over the Mohammedens. But Allah hates all infidels because they support Isreal and because they are earthly corruptors. And nothing that infidels can do, short of accepting Allah and Mohammed as your Prophet, shall save you from the Wrath of Allah and our Jihadis. Posted by: 72VIRGINS on November 29, 2004 09:51 AM
Frankly, I can't read leftist stuff anymore. It is like the text turns into Aztec pictographs, "Zionist" snake eating a monkey symbol "Halliburton" feathered god massaging himself "tax cuts for the rich" corn goddess drinking the blood of sacrificial victims, etc. Posted by: Alex on November 29, 2004 10:07 AM
I don't know where you read your leftist stuff. I don't know any leftists who want to sell out Israel -- none worth taking seriously anyway. Unless you are a liberal, you have no right to define what liberal views are. To paraphrase a popular movie from the eighties: This word liberal you keep using. I do not think it means what you think it means. In fact, Republican policies have been in power since Reagan, so you better take credit where credit is due. Like the state of Iraq today. We liberals protested against Reagan when he supported Saddam. We were blasted for our short-sightedness then and now you want to blame us for the state of things? You make me laugh.

Don't take this the wrong way, gun-toting liberal, but judging from your name I'm not sure that you are all that clear on liberal views either. Posted by: Alex on November 29, 2004 07:49 PM
Sorry to break up the monotony with technical buffoonery, but Ace, could you let me know whether you received a trackback ping to this post. I linked to it from my post, but I don't see my trackback listed. And keep up the great work. Giacomo. Posted by: Giacomo on November 30, 2004 03:53 PM

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents. Erika Kirk was present.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this. He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again. You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations. That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite thanks to weft-cut loop.
This is the dumbest AI bullslop I've seen in a while: the CIA can use "quantum magnetometry" to track an individual man's heartbeat from twelve miles away
I wouldn't click on it, it's not interesting, it's just stupid clickslop. I just want to share my annoyance with you.
Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
Classic Rock Mystery Click
This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker. And I guess you think you've got it made Oh, but then, you never were afraid Of anything that you've left behind Oh, but it's alright with me now 'Cause I'll get back up somehow And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
