Chuck's War

1 really good grass-roots organization that's rallying the American people against the Islamic threat to civilization is Operation Save America . Check it out.

Another Indication That We Are Winning the War:

The normally anti-American writer, Clarence Page has this to say:

After 9-11, terrorists have lost a major chunk of their big advantage -- the element of surprise. We are a more
alert nation now, enriched by a new awareness of the world's dangers and our own capabilities. Although we
picked up this new awareness in the worst way, through tragedy and heartache, we are a better people for having
learned.

In other words, we are a better nation after 9/11 than before. No America-bashing here, for a change.

And its about time too.

And so, once again, Mad Mullah Omar has gotten clean away :



"The one-eyed mullah, on a motorbike, leaving Baghran. That appears to be the latest move in the game of Cluedo that the hunt for Mullah Mohammed Omar has now become."

CIA= Central Incompetency Agency?

Sure seems like it.

For the rest of that brilliant piece, here's the relevant URL: Fuerth on why attacking Iraq would be an exercise in stupidity

Here's an excerpt from a most excellent article from the N.Y. Times on the folly of attacking Iraq by Leon Fuerth:

After the dislocation of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, the next phase needs to be a sustained assault on the broader network: attacking its individual cells by working in concert with intelligence and police services around the world. Multilateral cooperation is of the essence, as it was in the Afghanistan campaign. Anything that distracts us from relentless pursuit of the system by which terrorist groups can operate as networked entities — and anything that detracts from the willingness of other governments to work alongside us — is at the expense of our national security.

An immediate attack on Saddam Hussein carries a very high risk of constituting just such a fatal diversion. Arguments that his fall would require little American military investment are reckless in the extreme. Claims that the Iraqi National Congress, or the two main Kurdish groups, are ready to be Iraq's version of the Northern Alliance are misapplied analogies. Assurances that Iraq's neighbors would be happy to see Mr. Hussein eliminated are dangerous simplifications. Claims that we can either hold the coalition together if we promptly attack Saddam Hussein or that we no longer need a coalition are simply guesses.
