THE NEOCONS

Nature they loathed, and next to nature, art;
They strove with all, all worth more than their strife;
They worshipped cash, and gave it all their heart,
So cold they lived, and cold departed life.

Al-Qaeda is overstretched and demoralized by Iraq war. They have no hope to win at battlefield. Their only hope is fatigue and discontent of American public by this war. They do apply, just as US anti-war crowd, a Vietnam template, and did it from the very beginning. So any major attack at American soil is for them not only disadvantegeous, but a mortal blow to their strategy. That makes US presence in Iraq a powerful deterrent to further attack on US civilians. Q.E.D. And your underwear, Xanthippa, obviously is not.

No, Xanthippas. Correct translation:

“I’ve talked to a lot of people who hate Bush, and because of that, hate the war, Republicans, capitalism, and white males in general. They’re so wrapped up in hatred of traditional values and acceptance of post-modern claptrap, that they fail to see what made America great.”

There are a great many people, not nutcases, not journalists, not politicians, who want us to lose.
I’ve talked with them and there is no rationality. Eventually it gets to sputtering about Bush.

Translated: “A lot of people I talk to are against us being in Iraq and feel that Bush is to blame for much of what’s gone wrong in the war. Clearly, they only desire defeat for America.”

The truth is there were no mushrum clouds and any large-scale attack on American soil since the beginning of this war, so the main goal of launching it – prevention of such events – was achieved.

I have done my part in foiling the terrorists by wearing my underwear backwards. That there have been no more attacks is proof that my strategy is correct.

Propaganda tends to crop up always in war.

I have the distinct feeling that this was written with a complete and utter lack of irony.

OBL expected US withdrawal from all its military bases in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere in Muslim world. This was the main declared goal of the attack. Obviously, he did not expect invasion in Afganistan and toppling of Taliban there.
