I just took a look at the numbers. They are appalling!!!! We need to get out!!! RUNNNNNNNNN...
Time to leave.
Look at what I found.
Violent Crimes in 2003: 1,383,676
Violent Crimes in 2004: 1,360,088
Violent Crimes in 2005: 1,390,695
Total: 4,134,459
Murder in 2003: 16,528
Murder in 2004: 16,148
Murder in 2005: 16,692
Total Murders: 49,368
My God.... we DO need to leave. Cut and Run. Escape this madness.
Ladies and Gentlemen, these are the actual numbers of lives lost IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA..... a country NOT at war and still these numbers are this high.
The point for those that are too slow to understand is: Although these numbers are not AS high as the numbers in Iraq, these numbers are from the USA, a country NOT at war.... Clearer now?
This is without a war. This is in our own country. A country NOT in the midst of a fight for democracy.
So, you liberal yellow belly idiots should really cut and run, go find some island to live on.
Funny thing is, with these numbers, our soldiers are probably SAFER over in Iraq than they would be here. So, get a little perspective folks and realize that in Iraq, 14 out of 18 provinces are living relatively violence free.... can WE say that about any of our states?
The freaking Iraqi's are doing better than WE are... Bet you haven't seen CNN do this comparison have you? Or the NYT or Wapo or any other left media outlet.
Tell me something, those of you that have screamed SO hard and SO loud about how dangerous Iraq is, and how it is in the middle of a "civil war", have any of you bothered to get the crime statistics of our own country and do your own comparisons? I doubt it. You do not want facts, god no.... please not THOSE.
I notice so many people sit down to dinner, turn on the television, watch the Communist News Network (CNN) and proclaim "We need to leave". Well why don't you proclaim just as loudly the need to leave THIS country then? After all, those numbers above are people within our country killing each other.... are WE in the midst of a civil war also??????
Get a little perspective folks and while you are at it, get a spine.
These will be the same people that cry out in anger and pain when WE get hit again on our soil, probably from al-Qaeda that will be based in Iraq, because THEY gave it to them.
When did we, as a country become so spineless, so yellow, that we are willing to break out words to the Iraqi people as we did to the vietnamese, in which our cowardness cost them 2.25 MILLION lives.
We forget our history. We stab our soldiers in back. We then say to them, we did it to protect you. Pathetic.
When, not if, we get hit again on our soil, do not look for understanding. You will not get it.
Do not look to our soldiers for protection, they may no longer care to protect those that ignored them and then kicked them in the teeth.
Do not ask why. We may just tell you the truth: You asked for it.
Do not cry that your children are in danger. You invited the terrorists in and handed over your children to them.
Look to Pelosi and the other yellow bellied bobbleheads you elected and ask THEM to protect you, see how far that gets you.
Then via Amy Proctor, you have the Democrats that have such fresh new ideas on Iraq, saying they want BUSH to lead the way in Iraq.
"Now that the Democrats are in control of the House and the Senate, what is the Democrats new plan for Iraq?"
Wesley Clark's answer:
"We're going to ask the administration to come up with another plan.
God I got a real laugh from that one.
More on Jolting Joe from MaryKatharine Ham.
Allah wonders if Joe will remain anti-cut-and-run, as he was earlier this year.
We'll see what happens. Luckily, Joementum is one of the few guys in Washington who doesn't scare me to death when he says things like this (emphasis mine):
"I am going to Washington beholden to no political group except the people of Connecticut and, of course, my conscience," he said.
Stop the ACLU shows us how wonderful Pelosi is going to be in helping our national security.
Via Frontpage Magazine:
With the Democratic victory in the midterm elections, one big winner was the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). The American Islamic pressure group now has a chance to advance its agenda in numerous ways, with energetic water-carrying by, among others, the Speaker of the House, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, and the first Muslim member of Congress.
Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, who is likely to be the next House Speaker, has announced her intention to “correct the Patriot Act” and wants to criminalize scrutiny of Muslims at airports and elsewhere: “Since September 11, many Muslim Americans have been subjected to searches at airports and other locations based upon their religion and national origin. We must make it illegal.” Since religion is the one factor that the jihadists themselves invariably point to as the motivation for their violent actions, Pelosi is calling upon investigators to ignore the single most important key to understanding jihadist strategy and goals. If she gets her way, any Muslim who is searched at an airport at any time will be able to claim that he is being illegally profiled; a law criminalizing searches of Muslims at airports would have a chilling effect upon any effort to investigate jihad terror activity in the Muslim community.
Quick little fact check here:

Muslim male extremist between the ages of 17 and 40

take out the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed
into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the
passengers.Thousands of people were killed by:
Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40.
In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against:
Muslim male extremists mostly between the ages of 17 and 40

2004 - Spain Railway bombings:

No pattern here huh?
As the writer of the award winning story "Forrest Gump" so aptly put it, "Stupid is as stupid does."
Way to go Pelosi!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I will be the first to say that all Muslims are not bad people. Some are moderate, religious, good people. There ARE extremists though and considering the pattern I just showed above... Pelosi's intentions once again show how incompetent and incapable she is when it comes to national security... Grandma needs to go back to baking her cookies and stop trying to help get us killed.
Right Wing Nation points to recent polls and how it almost seems like twilight zone has become a reality.
While a bare majority of 51 percent called the Democrats' victory "a good thing," even more said they were concerned about some of the actions a Democratic Congress might take, including 78 percent who were somewhat or very concerned that it would seek too hasty a withdrawal of troops from Iraq.
Another 69 percent said they were concerned that the new Congress would keep the administration "from doing what is necessary to combat terrorism," and two-thirds said they were concerned it would spend too much time investigating the administration and Republican scandals.
Read his next question.
Of course next we have the Democrats wanting us to play kissie kissie with Iran at the same time, Iran is saying:
“The western powers created the Zionist regime in order to expand their control of the area. This regime massacres Palestinians everyday, but since this regime is against nature, we will soon witness its disappearance and destruction,” Ahmadinejad said.
According to the Iranian media Monday, Iranian President Mahoud Ahmadinejad declared that Israel was destined to ‘disappearance and destruction’ at a council meeting with Iranian ministers.
Strata-Sphere points out a lovely double standard:
One has to ask whether this makes the NY Times complicate in an international, secret interrogation network against US citizens. The idea an American was held for interrogation in a foreign country would seem to be a war crime by today’s reporting standards for news. But not under President Clinton. Interrogating terrorists on foreign soil under Bush is bad, but interrogating US citizens on foreign soil under Clinton good. Pot, meet Kettle.
Read the rest here.
All in all, seems not only are the liberal Democrats wanting to cut and run from Iraq, they also want to invite al-Qaeda into our country, open our doors, hand them our planes and let them blow the hell out of us.
Good job!!!! Outstanding. (Golf Clap)
