No, I don't think this is succor to the enemy. I don't think that this enemy much cares what US politicians say.

Then why does Al-Zawahari practically parrot Durbin's, Mutha's (et. al.) anti-war diatribes in his "Missives from an Afghan Cave, Parts 25-32"
I gave up litigation a long time ago - was that a qualified admission?

I gave you 2 direct links and refused to bother linking to the HuffPost and KOS, since no one is denying either.
What more do you want? |

You missed my point. I sought not to justify our actions by saying there are worse people in the world, but to suggest that reactions to the two actors (or groups of actors) should be different and should reflect the severity, intensity, depravity, duration, cruelty, etc., of the various groups. What I was comparing was the relative outcry with respect to different groups. I get a general sense at times that to some, there is no need to make those distinctions, which leads to all sorts of ridiculous situations.

"World outcry over Muslim violence in Somalia - nil"

Then again...
...why bother worrying about any of this crap, so long as the world is safe enough to continue to allow Jessica Biel to parade around in bikinis

Is he just looking for any old place where U.S. troops are called torturers? Because I have some of those...or are there restrictions on who it is who can be cited?

They should raze that city and sell it for scrap metal.

I am hearing formerly anti-Hilary dems starting to consider her again. In fact, I am not sure she is as much of a non-starter as you suggest.
But I agree, she has a huge hole to climb out of, and I do not think she is the best choice at the moment. |

Translation: I might not miss him in the abstract, but given the choice between Penske and Hillary, I'd take Penske.

First all, that is bullshit.
Second of all, you do see a difference, right? One actor is a member of modern Western civilization, that enjoys the defacto stamp of approval of the U.S.
The other is a mess that no one quite knows what to do with, and certainly doesn't get material or other support from the civilized world. |

No, its not. Sadly, only 60 years after the holocaust, Weurope is once again rabidly anti-semitic, as is the Middle East, and the American Left is attempting to have us join them. Thankfully a few of us patriots are still pro-Israel, but a Hillary victory would signal the deathknell, I fear.

Anyone else hoping that the President, inspired by the recent revelation of a legendary hockey coach, will finally come out as a functional illeterate?
This is going to be painful, but I may actually decide to watch.

I will vote for her if she is the nominee, but I will not support her in the primaries. And I don't even have to hold my nose.
As to you, I would just be happy if I could put you on ignore. |

I am fairly certain that you and Slave are the only two people who care what CAIR says. |
