Dog Bites Man; Muslims Are Offended; Americans Want to Win
Posted by Frank J. at 05:22 PM | View blog reactions | Comments (17)

The Drudge Report has results of a poll showing that Americans want to win in the war in Iraq like that's something surprising. Of course we want to win. That's why we're Americans. By definition we want to win. If we didn't want to win, we wouldn't be Americans. If anyone wants to lose, he should move to Europe (I'd say Canada, but that's too close for a loser to be to America).

I can't see how any of that is controversial.

BTW, I know the phrase "Muslims are offended" isn't as oft used as "Dog bites man" as an example of a non-story, but I was just noticing how you can add that phrase to the end of any news headline and it won't look out of place. E.g.:

* Smith's lover testifies on burial plans; Muslims are offended

* 'Miracle baby' homecoming delayed; Muslims are offended

* Cisco says 77 of its routers open to 'drive-by pharming'; Muslims are offended

Not only does it look in place at the end of any story, it's probably also true.

I want America to win the war, but I fear we have to win the war against liberalism here first.

"The quickest way of ending a war is to lose it." -George Orwell

"There's only one guaranteed way you can have peace, and you can have it in the next second: surrender." -Ronald Reagan

"We stand for freedom. That is our conviction for ourselves; that is our only commitment to others." -JFK

"An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last." -Sir Winston Churchill

Those are some great quotes I gleaned from Victory Caucus. I have to admit, and so would any reasonable induvidual, that those statements apply just as much today as they did at the times they were uttered.

Rudyard Kipling said something similar to what Churchill said on the subject of appeasement; Kipling, of course, made it rhyme:

Anna Nicole Smith Slowly Decomposing; Muslims are offended.

Algore Eats Entire Suckling Pig at Family Gathering; Muslims offended.

Millions miss Simpsons Movie Trailer; Muslims are offended.

Soldiers, Marines Celebrate the Year of the Pig by shooting terrorists; Muslims are Offended.

Daniel Radcliffe prances naked on British stage; Muslims are offended (Actually that one offends me too)

this is starting to take on the cadence of a Jeff Foxworthy bit:

If you think it's all right to kill your wife if she allows someone to brutally rape her... Yoooouuu might be a Muslim!

"We're gonna cut out their living guts...and USE them...to grease the treads of our tanks..." - Gen. George S. Patton

Muslims are offended - and terrified. Ah, if only...

Silicon Valley Jim-

I modified the last paragraph for modern perspective:

"We never pay any-one the *Jizya*,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!"

Thank you for the address, Jim. I'd never seen that poem before.

#5 - Posted by: AlanABQ on February 20, 2007 06:35 PM

My pleasure, Alan. It's probably fitting that academics hate Kipling; it fits with a whole lot of other things about academics, doesn't it?

#6 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on February 20, 2007 07:49 PM

If you all would just try to understand Muslims, instead of trying to get killed by them, the world would be a better place.....NAAHH!!!!

Nikster!!
Is that why they attacked the World trade center, the U.S. embassies, the U.S.S. Cole, London subway, the Pentagon and the World Trade Center again? Because the U.S. Ambassadorial staff, U.S. Navy, U.S. Military leadership and W.T.C. companies weren't making enough of an effort to understand Islam?

Winning the war will be easier after we put the Lefties in the camps.

Don't talk to me about naval tradition. It's nothing but rum, sodomy and the lash.
Sir Winston Churchill

I showed this post to my Imam. It offends him.

ussjimmycarter -

That's great! Is it authentic? On second thought, I don't care. It's a wonderful quotation whether it's authentic or not.

#14 - Posted by: Silicon Valley Jim on February 21, 2007 12:16 PM

It takes years of denial to lose the "win" instinct...even the Mexicans have it. (Admittedly, winning over the French is, even they admit, nothing terribly impressive. All they had to do was wait for them to surrender) It probably explains why they all want to come here. They want to be winners, too!

Maybe we should have an exchange programme, with a ratio of 2 Mexicans:1 loser pseudo-American. (We can start with Nikster!!, unless that was spot-on satire of the species moonbatus dementis, in which case s/he is actually a winner) Then losers can wring their hands all they want and cry into disease-infested water in Juarez hovels while America starts winning even more through the acquisition of hard workers. (We'll have to export La Rasa, though...they're professional losers who don't belong in Aztlán. Paradise is for winners only!)

Mohammed was a pedophilic psychopath - Muslims are offended.

I'm a day late on this post - Muslims are offended.
