George Bush makes a lot of noise about fighting terrorists. And although his efforts have met with something far less than success, he sputters on about the clash of civilizations, fighting them over there, and some ill-defined notion of victory. The media eats it up and regurgitates it back to the sparrowlings in the audience to sustain our hunger for war. That partnership reinforces the fable of Bush as a courageous defender of America’s huddled masses, cowering in the shadow of terror.<\/p>\n

But Bush has also been known to approvingly take the counsel of our enemies and use it to validate his woeful failures. In a press conference<\/a> on October 11, 2006, the president warned of dire consequences should we conclude our occupation of Iraq that would provide al-Qaeda with a “new safe haven.”<\/em> And how did the president know this? Let him tell it:<\/p>\n

“How do I know that would happen? Because that’s what the enemy has told us would happen<\/strong>. That’s what they have said. And as Commander-in-Chief of the United States military, and as a person working to secure this country, I take the words of the enemy very seriously<\/strong>, and so should the American people.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

OK then, Bush takes the words of the enemy very seriously and so should we. In fact, Bush even subjugates his viewpoint to that of bin Laden and Zawahiri:<\/p>\n

“…all you got to do is listen to what Osama bin Laden says. Don’t believe me<\/strong> that it’s a part of the war on terror; listen to the enemy, or listen to Mr. Zawahiri<\/strong>, the number two of al Qaeda, both of whom made it clear that Iraq is central in their plans.”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Alright then, let’s listen to what Mr. Zawahiri said yesterday<\/a> about the legislation that Bush just vetoed calling for a redeployment of American troops to begin in October:<\/p>\n

“This bill reflects American failure and frustration. However, this bill will deprive us of the opportunity to destroy the American forces which we have caught in a historic trap.”<\/span><\/p>\n

“We ask Allah that they only get out of it after losing 200 to 300 hundred thousand killed, in order that we give the spillers of blood in Washington and Europe an unforgettable lesson, which will motivate them to review their entire doctrinal and moral system which produced their historic criminal Crusader-Zionist entity,”<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So Zawahiri wants us to stay in Iraq and Bush also wants us to stay in Iraq. This harmony of purpose affirms the Bush campaign slogan extolling him as a “uniter, not a divider.”<\/em> Never mind that he is in unity with the terrorists and in division with the 70% of Americans that want us out of Iraq.<\/p>\n

Once again, Bush is listening to our enemies – just as he told us he would.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
