- yakimushi, on 10/12/2007, -26/+112Wait, shouldn't that read "Rumsfeld will say anything to keep the Republicans in power"?
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -15/+91Actually I think the terrorists are happy with Bush in charge. They love this war, it's driving thousands of former moderates to their way of thinking. They don't really want us out of Iraq and Afghanistan anytime soon because the more people get pissed off, the more power they have.
- whiskeymb, on 10/12/2007, -20/+75that's pretty much the republican mantra right now, say anything and everything you can to try to save your hold on power.
I can't figure out which is worse though, that the republicans think that abhorrent lying like this would work on the US voters, or that it DOES work on voters. - hawkeye17, on 10/12/2007, -12/+47This makes no sense. The terrorists have gotten more from the Bush Administration than they could have ever dreamed of. Why risk helping to make a change to Democrats who may actually fight the 'war on terror' with a bit of intelligence??
- storm8956, on 10/12/2007, -6/+39Yeah, the Bush Administration has done a lot of things for the terrorists unintentionally. By going into Iraq, America MADE Iraq part of the war on terror, not the terrorists. Though the media never seems to deliver this message! Iraq was not a war front until we invaded. And yeah, the administration did take the "Eye of Mordor" off of America and put it on Iraq, but now about 50,000 - 700,000 Iraqis and 3,000 American troops are dead...the terrorists now do not have to worry about traveling across an ocean to attack something. The war is at their doorstep, and that makes even more people want to be terrorists. From Al Qaeda letter: "Indeed, prolonging the war is in our interest, with God’s permission." I guess the administration's logic is that it is better to throw the spotlight on thousands of other innocent people in another country than to have any American civilians killed. To make it worse, a lot of the people the administration chose to throw the spotlight on had already been persecuted enough under Saddam.
- The_Wallbanger, on 10/12/2007, -19/+50Rumsfeld states, "It would be logical," but doesn't offer a single fiber of evidence. Republicans pulled this garbage on who outed Foley. They are desperate.
- storm8956, on 10/12/2007, -11/+39Rumsfeld: It’s hard. No one likes to think they’re being manipulated. They believe that they can make their own judgments...
Ironic in that that very statement is a manipulation. Thanks, Rumsfeld, for twisting the truth. I think that time you twisted it at least three or four times over. - toasty168, on 10/12/2007, -3/+31Vote!
voting isn't about what you can do individually. it's what we can do as a group. - millixaw, on 10/12/2007, -7/+34You would think the terrorists would want Republicans to stay in power. Both groups have very similar ideologies...
- Both use religion as an excuse for their actions
- Both hate women and abortion
- Both hate the gays
- Both hate the US constitution
- Both love guns
- Both are profitting from the Iraq war
- Both are pro-death penalty
- Both are pro-torture
Plus, I'm sure Osama would prefer the president who can't catch him stay in power: George W Bush - youareretarded, on 10/12/2007, -5/+27@Zarchon
Wow! You have absolutely no clue what it means to be an American! - Nougat, on 10/12/2007, -8/+29It's a truthiness pretzel with plenty of salt and mustard.
- feelingfunky, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Rule that we learned from WWII (sadly learned):
Say whatever you want, repeat it over and over again and it will become truth. Repetition of any falsehood can make a monster into a leader.
Don't let the fear mongering change your opinion. Go out there and vote who you believe in. and God help us al. - IHaveIssues, on 10/12/2007, -9/+29That, my friends, is the sound of desperation.
- isasusinfinite, on 10/12/2007, -13/+31Exactly.
This, after it was shown that the directors of the CIA found out that Osama himself wanted Bush re-elected in the previous election. Where is that story... Here is one copy of it:
http://consortiumnews.com/2006/070306.html
So really, it has been shown, and at the level of the top heads of the CIA, that terrorists back the Democrats in order to have the sheeple vote for the Republicans. Of course, you won't find that little fact on the news at 7. - eklipsse, on 10/12/2007, -3/+20as Groucho Marx said: "The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made"
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+29Rumsfeld also agrees "Bush is our great leader, because the sun and moon were born on his birthday. All give thanks to this great day, because Bush is our glorious leader."
(insert squishing noises from ass-to-nose rubbing here) - alanspach, on 10/12/2007, -9/+22What a dick
- mrhaines, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17Yes the terrorists are blowing themselves up to give liberals a boost in a democratic election. The same terrorists that think democracy is a bunch of crap and all americans are the devils children. Yes, Donald that is why they are doing it. It continually astounds me how people like him can get elected...
- bennyboy371, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16Didn't it come to light that Osama was trying to get Bush re-elected? Doesn't that alone kind of prove this guess wrong?
- Chompy, on 10/12/2007, -11/+23Nah nah *nah nah*, Nah nah *nah nah*, hey hey hey, goooodbye! (republican majority)
- JonForTheWin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16God has already helped us with his blessing of diebold machines.
- kp3469, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14missing /sarcasm tags? i hope ...
- brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Actually, a lot of Iraqis know very well who Bush is.
- warmonger48, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14The terrorists know the difference between Democrates and Republicans? Or care?
- LustHog, on 10/12/2007, -6/+17In other news, terrorists are for same-sex marriage, no big business, and pro-choice.
- brstilson, on 10/12/2007, -6/+16It's just another classic Republican "anything that makes us look bad is a liberal Democrat conspiracy"
- Vryz, on 10/12/2007, -4/+14Yup, Al-Qaeda and the Dems are on the same side. It's so obvious -- Gay Marriage, Abortion, Atheism, Pro-Torture -- with so much in common, how could they not be best the best of friends.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12True, but it worked in '04. Someone's believing their brain turd sound bites.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10The "obvious truth" is our country is currently being led be a group of utterly corrupt morons.
- GenghisCon, on 10/12/2007, -6/+15Rumsfeld is a traitor
- sereth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Killinger...every post your responses get dumber and dumber.
I don't think they care who is in office just as long as we don't leave the middle east. Osama and the rest of the 'leaders' over there crave nothing but power. In order to have power you need to amass an army of people and the perfect lightning rod for creating plenty of god-fearing ignorant soldiers is to have an occupying army on your 'homeland'
Two choices..we leave the middle east and Iraq falls into a civil war that soon turns into another Taliban (or another strict religious rule state) and it smolders with little worldwide growth, but leads to complacentcy and possible future 9/11 events when we let our guard down. Or you continue to fan the flames and create an active playground for these leaders to throw their toy soldiers around creating world wide recognition of their mission and just plain chaos. Both choices suck.
To even buy into this bull crap they they support one party over the other is so ignorant. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9"A muslim terrorist bombed the world trade center in 1993, when CLINTON and a DEMOCRAT congress were in power."
And we weren't attacked again until 2001. Using the Dick Cheney standard for success, that means Clinton was doing a great job protecting us. - slickriven, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10It is interesting when one person makes a comment that could be complete BS and someone else jumps in to refute it and their comment could also be complete BS...
Unless either one of you have actual facts to support your claims of Iraqi citizens/militants knowing Bush's name, why even bring it up? I hope one of you will come back and say you're a soldier and were in Iraq, b/c otherwise you must be following the media and believing it, which makes you a fool. - labmouse42, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7@VolatileWhimsy
"The Democrats are against this war"
Is this the official stance of the democratic platform? 'We need a change of course in Iraq, not just a change in rhetoric and more spin from the Bush Administration,' said Democratic National Committee Chairman. If you can find where the National Democratic Party states that their focus is to leave Iraq
and within a time line, please let me know -- I honestly cannot find one .

Hope your day has gone well :D - jkavvy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+10The Republican leadership has been a major boon for Al Qaeda and other jihadists worldwide.
Terrorist recruiting is at an all-time high. Iraq (along with the ignored Afghanistan) have become perfect jihadist training grounds where they can pick off badly equipped American troops made to endlessly stand around in support of an ill-defined mission.
World opinion of the United States is at an all-time low.
One objective of Islamic extremists has always been to remove Saddam Hussein. The United States did the dirty work for them and have paved the way for Iraq to become a Sunni fundamentalist haven (or a ***** theocracy).
Islamist groups are making major gains in the muslim countries that hold elections.
Meanwhile the Bush regime continues to coddle up to Saudi Arabia, which finances and exports salafist extremism worldwide, while perpetuating terror on the domestic front with misinformation and exaggeration.
All the while we are now ill-eqipped to stare down real threats to our country such as Iran and North Korea.
An administration bent on losing the war on terror would have a hard time doing worse. - haggie, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Actually, if the goal of terrorists is to destroy America, they would be in favor of Republicans maintaining control. Look what the Republicans have done to our proud democracy in just six years...
- JonForTheWin, on 10/12/2007, -8/+15The republicans don't want the domocrats to win. What the hell is he talking about?
- jasz, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12I'd say Rumsfeld is right.
If democrats win, terrorists wouldn't have to be terrorists in the first place since at least someone competent would handle diplomatic affairs rather than just using brute force (like the current administration does).
And nobody wants to be the victim of brute force.
PS. Yeah, I'm exaggerating... putting a democrat in power won't stop terrorism, but I'm pretty sure diplomacy would have more chance of success to do so. - sereth, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8There are plenty of questions about it. You're too busy laughing to bother reading any other posts that argue the opposite.
So keep laughing it's doing everyone a world of good. I was amazed at your well thought out blanket shot at democrats and liberals. In fact there are many politicians both dem and republican that are not weak on war, military and national security.
What bastards are we sending messages to and what exactly is this message? Please enlighten us. - sereth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7So mike...You're saying that terrorist don't like violence, are not happy that CNN shows their 'holy' soldiers killing American infidels that have invaded their homeland? They want funding for the war cut so that we leave and they lose their access to free daily propaganda that helps ignite more religious fervor in other countries?
Your argument makes a case for the complete opposite of what you are saying. - AICWebmaster, on 10/12/2007, -8/+14The terrorists want the Republicans to win. The have been kicking the ***** out of a Republican president, his administration and his policies since the US invaded Iraq.
After bush announced mission accomplished, they have done nothing but gain strength. They are in control in Iraq - not the Americans. - spatium, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I blame the wright brothers for 9/11.
- willcode4beer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Exactly who are these "the terrorists" ?
Sounds like a bunch of crap when you can spout out a label instead of naming someone.
Its the damn neo-cons, its the damn liberals. Say who it is, not some ***** label.
"The Terrorists" could mean anything, Hamas, the Sunni insurgents, the IRA, the Khmer Rouge, the Tamil Tigers. I think each of those groups has a different agenda.
The media are just as stupid to accept this as an answer too. They should make them be specific. Otherwise you get these stupid memes floating around making people stupid. - oneiroi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8It's all just a sign of how desperate they are. They always try to pull this card out near elections. OMG Terrorists are scared of Republicans, and want Democrats...Democrats are wusses and will go easy on terror.
You can follow that outlook or you can follow the idea that the Republicans have been actually helping the cause of terrorism through the war as said through the government report....thus the opposite would be true...a vote for Democrats would lessen terrorism.
I think both view points are useless. vote for who you want not be intimidation or coercion. - pintomp3, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8he wasn't elected
- erkokite, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8hmmm, imagine your a terrorist. Who would you want to win?
Terrorists want more American soldiers to kill, reps want to stay in Iraq, reps win.
Terrorists want to destroy the USA, Reps want to destroy the US constitution with wiretaps, Patriot Act and the Military Commisions Act, reps win.
Terrorists want to recruit more radicals from Iraq, reps want to stay in Iraq, reps win.
Terrorists want us to keep wasting our time following false leads, reps want to torture everybody who looks arabic until they confess to made up crimes, reps win.
Terrorists want to us to look bad in international standing, Reps want to defy the Geneva Conventions and the Kyoto protocol, reps win.
Yup, terrorists surely would prefer Reps in office. I don't know if that effects insurgents or not, but given a choice I guarantee terrorists would prefer reps. - Dyssolve, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7These 'New American Century' guys give republicans a BAD name.
- GenghisCon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6They do. Or haven't you seen that ad they're using with bin Laden and the mushroom cloud?
- apothe, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9I agree with dkleehammer. I disagree with Killinger777 too, but it doesn't do any good unless you offer some supporting evidence. I don't think he should be dug down just because of a different point of view.
Imaging you're a terrorist. Who would you want to win?
Republicans coerced the country into invading Iraq, giving the terrorists a playground for training. Dems wouldn't have.
Republicans are pro-torture, anti-habeus corpus, and against civil liberties. Although I can't say for sure, I'd be willing to bet that terrorists enjoy the idea of freedom going down the toilet.
Republicans rule by using fear, and nothing else. They offer no vision or hope for humanity. They offer only future violence, death, and destruction in exchange for forwarding their agenda. This is the definition of terrorism.
It's time for the citizenry to think things through. Even though the democrats are part of the problem of Imperial corporate-America, at least they aren't so violent and stupid about it.
The terrorists want to keep republicans in office because they have the same vision of a chaotic Earth where power is freely available to those with weapons. The civilians dying all over the world because of the USA want the democrats to win.
(Eventually, the green party would be best, but that's a little too unrealistic right now). -
