Entitled "Revolutionary Islam" (Editions du Rocher, 2003) and published under the name Ilich Ramírez Sánchez-CARLOS, the book urges "all revolutionaries, including those of the left, even atheists," to accept the leadership of Islamists such as Osama bin Laden and so help turn Afghanistan and Iraq into the "graveyards of American imperialism." &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Carlos had also concluded that the United States could not be destroyed by any military rival. What was needed was a campaign of terror that would separate the United States from its allies and then destroy its self-confidence. This campaign would require a large number of volunteers ready both to kill and to die for the cause. Carlos saw that only revolutionary Islam could recruit the large numbers of killers and martyrs necessary to destroy the United States. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Carlos claims that terrorism is "the cleanest and most efficient form of warfare." By killing civilians, he argues, the terrorist saps the morale of the enemy and forces its leadership to submit to the demands of the revolution or surrender. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6624003-110313207511798073?l=superflyswatter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/feeds/110313207511798073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6624003&amp;postID=110313207511798073' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/110313207511798073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/110313207511798073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/2004/12/jackal.html' title='Jackal'/><author><name>Superfly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03221373947812884073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624003.post-110295198938482101</id><published>2004-12-13T10:29:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2004-12-14T17:14:39.816-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Truth</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.washingtontimes.com/op-ed/20041201-090801-2582r.htm"&gt;'Mired in a religious war'&lt;/a&gt; (hat tip: Robert Spencer)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite the numbers of Iraqi dead and the travesty of Abu Ghraib, the Iraqi&lt;br /&gt;insurgents know that we did not come to their country to rape their women or to&lt;br /&gt;kill innocent civilians. Every thinking person in the Muslim world understands&lt;br /&gt;that if our goal had been to kill Iraqis and steal their oil, millions of Iraqis&lt;br /&gt;would now be dead and their oil would be flowing. The terrible truth about our&lt;br /&gt;predicament in Iraq is that even if we had invaded with no other purpose than to&lt;br /&gt;remove Saddam Hussein from power and make Iraq a paradise on Earth, we should&lt;br /&gt;still expect tomorrow's paper to reveal that another jihadi has blown himself to&lt;br /&gt;bits for the sake of killing scores of innocent men, women and children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We are now mired in a religious war in Iraq, and elsewhere. Our enemies, as witnessed by their astonishing willingness to slaughter themselves, are not principally motivated by political or economic grievances. Anyone who imagines that terrestrial concerns account for terrorism by Muslims must explain why there are no Palestinian Christian suicide bombers. They, too, suffer the ordeal of the Israeli occupation. Where are the Tibetan Buddhist suicide bombers for that matter? The Tibetans have suffered an occupation far more brutal than any we or the Israelis have imposed on the Muslim world. The truth that we must finally confront is that Islam contains specific doctrines about martyrdom and jihad that directly inspire Muslim terrorism. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6624003-110295198938482101?l=superflyswatter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/feeds/110295198938482101/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6624003&amp;postID=110295198938482101' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/110295198938482101'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/110295198938482101'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/2004/12/truth.html' title='Truth'/><author><name>Superfly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03221373947812884073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624003.post-110234856014909178</id><published>2004-12-06T10:54:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2004-12-06T10:56:00.150-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Failure</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.sundayherald.com/46389"&gt;US admits the war for ‘hearts and minds’ in Iraq is now lost&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6624003-110234856014909178?l=superflyswatter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/feeds/110234856014909178/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6624003&amp;postID=110234856014909178' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/110234856014909178'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/110234856014909178'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/2004/12/failure.html' title='Failure'/><author><name>Superfly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03221373947812884073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624003.post-110210980265376832</id><published>2004-12-03T16:29:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2004-12-03T16:36:42.653-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Convert</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.laweekly.com/ink/05/02/features-bernhard.php"&gt;White Muslim&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;"I do wish the American troops would be defeated," he told me, adding, "I’m a Muslim first, and I just live in this country."

Religious society is not far behind: even as bin Laden speaks of wresting Spain (“al-Andalus”) from the infidels by violence, the cathedral of Santiago has considered removing a statue of St. James Matamoros (“the Moor slayer”), lest it give offense to Muslims. For the same reason, the municipality of Seville has removed King Ferdinand III, hitherto the city’s patron saint, from fiesta celebrations because he fought the Moors for 27 years. In Italy, where Islamists have threatened to destroy the cathedral of Bologna because of a fresco illustrating the Prophet Muhammad in the inferno (where Dante placed him), thought has been given to deleting the art-work from the walls. Even the Pope has apologized for the Crusades. In secular Denmark, the Qur’an (but not the Bible) is now required reading for high-school students. And so forth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div

savior?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the left -- especially the far left -- the grandson of the founder of&lt;br /&gt;the incendiary Muslim Brotherhood, the most important Islamist movement of the&lt;br /&gt;20th century, is just in from a little stroll on the Sea of Galilee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; Mr. Ramadan speaks the language of Europe's intellectual left. A frequent lecturer in U.S. universities, his brilliantly articulate perorations mesmerize his liberal fans. "Only Islam can achieve the synthesis between Christianity and humanism, and fill the spiritual void that afflicts the West." All good people are implicitly Muslims, he maintains, "because true humanism is founded in Koranic revelations."     "Today the Muslims who live in the West must unite themselves to the revolution of the anti-establishment groups from the moment when the neoliberal capitalist system becomes, for Islam, a theater of war," is another thunderclap that says "jihad" to his detractors and sweet reasonableness to his fans.     Marxism failed because it slavishly followed the dictates of a bunch of aging klutzes in Moscow, according to the Ramadan school. Islam, he says, can now bring forth a body of values that would form the embodiment of this universal vocation.     This, in turn, would replace the values of Western civilization. Islam-centric thinking thus replaces Eurocentric rearview mirror nostalgia for what was once a great civilization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6624003-109458147444350187?l=superflyswatter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/feeds/109458147444350187/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6624003&amp;postID=109458147444350187' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/109458147444350187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/109458147444350187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/2004/09/mole-or-savior.html' title='Mole or savior?'/><author><name>Superfly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03221373947812884073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624003.post-109389231898211746</id><published>2004-08-30T14:53:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2004-08-30T14:58:38.983-04:00</updated><title type='text'>What if Bush is Right?</title><content type='html'>An oldish article, but I saw the argument trotted around again that "you can't fight "terror" because terror is a tactic, not an enemy":&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=14536"&gt;What If Bush Is Right?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;What haunts me is the possibility that we have become so accustomed to&lt;br /&gt;ambiguity and inaction in the face of evil that we find his call for decisive&lt;br /&gt;action an insult to our sense of nuance and proportion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

They would have you think that they&lt;br /&gt;are humanitarians who love peace and have come to denounce war and aggression.&lt;br /&gt;If that were so, then you have to ask yourself why these 'progressives' have for&lt;br /&gt;the last hundred years done nothing but support the most illiberal,&lt;br /&gt;war-mongering, imperialist fascist movements that are the constant instigators&lt;br /&gt;behind the state of war they so decry. We wish they would just be honest and&lt;br /&gt;admit that they hate freedom, but most of them aren't brave enough. Instead,&lt;br /&gt;we're supposed to become enlightened to their truth: America is no better than&lt;br /&gt;anyone else. For most of this century their weapon of choice was&lt;br /&gt;Communism/Marxism/Socialism take your pick, which would have enslaved the entire&lt;br /&gt;world in totalitarianism but not for a vigilant America armed to the teeth, a&lt;br /&gt;policy they denounced every step of the way. Now we face a new threat,&lt;br /&gt;Islamo-fascism, a movement that will not stop so long as any outpost of&lt;br /&gt;Judeo-Christianity remains. It doesn't matter that Islamo-fascist countries have&lt;br /&gt;no freedom, no civil liberties, no women's rights, no science, no art, and are&lt;br /&gt;controlled by billionaire oligarchs who pay the clerics to keep their people&lt;br /&gt;under control; that they are part of the revolutionary struggle against America&lt;br /&gt;is all that is required to receive the moral approval of the 'pacifists.' &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6624003-109300804562537747?l=superflyswatter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/feeds/109300804562537747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6624003&amp;postID=109300804562537747' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/109300804562537747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/109300804562537747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/2004/08/protest-warriors-manifesto.html' title='Protest Warrior&apos;s Manifesto'/><author><name>Superfly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03221373947812884073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624003.post-109215765976313536</id><published>2004-08-10T13:04:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2004-08-10T13:07:39.763-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Conversions</title><content type='html'>Is it true that Carlos the Jackel converted to Islam?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It will be interesting to see how many Marxists, communists and socialists convert to Islam over the next few decades.

Muslim populations are isolated, thereby excluding other traits and ideas.  Muslims have a high birth rate.  Non-Muslims can be killed.  Radical Islam has an even greater benefit because moderate Muslims can also be killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Very generally speaking, evolution occurs when:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  A mutation occurs&lt;br /&gt;2.  That mutation conveys some survival benefit&lt;br /&gt;3.  Eventually, the individuals with less viable traits die off&lt;br /&gt;4.  Those with the more adaptive trait will eventually dominate the population  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the steps applied to Islam:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.  Islam introduced&lt;br /&gt;2.  Islam conveys a survival benefit through high birth rates and killing non-muslims  &lt;br /&gt;3.  Non-muslims are killed and/or have fewer offspring and eventually die out&lt;br /&gt;4.  Eventually, only Muslims will survive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Demographic trends certainly favor Islam:  &lt;a href="http://www.danielpipes.org/article/1796"&gt;Muslim Europe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Indigenous Europeans are dying out. Sustaining a population requires each woman on average to bear 2.1 children; in the European Union, the overall rate is one-third short, at 1.5 a woman, and falling. One study finds that, should current population trends continue and immigration cease, today's population of 375 million could decline to 275 million by 2075.To keep its working population even, the E.U. needs 1.6 million immigrants a year; to sustain the present workers-to-retirees ratio requires an astonishing 13.5 million immigrants annually.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;reference concepts:  &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_selection"&gt;Natural selection&lt;/a&gt;;&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_darwinism"&gt;social darwinism&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sociobiology"&gt;sociobiology&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitness_(biology)"&gt;fitness&lt;/a&gt;; &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitness_landscape"&gt;fitness landscape&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6624003-108428995390824426?l=superflyswatter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/feeds/108428995390824426/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6624003&amp;postID=108428995390824426' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/108428995390824426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/108428995390824426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/2004/05/evolutionary-advantages-of-islam.html' title='Evolutionary Advantages of Islam'/><author><name>Superfly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03221373947812884073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624003.post-108368416994918034</id><published>2004-05-04T11:21:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2004-05-04T11:26:44.450-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Lifting the veil of tears </title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.secularislam.org/women/shame.htm"&gt;Lifting the veil of tears &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Islam is deeply anti-woman.

The West can break the revolt by inflicting even worse humiliation upon the Islamists, poisoning the confidence of their supporters in the Muslim world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But radical Islam yet may horrify the West into submission, not only by large-scale acts of terrorism against Western countries, but also by provoking the West into mass destruction of life in the Islamic world. By operating in the midst of civilian populations, Islamist radicals put Western counter-insurgency in a delicate position. The Western response must be harsh enough to humble its adversaries, without turning the stomach of the Western population itself. To do this requires intelligence precise enough to target enemy resources without killing too many civilians." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6624003-108309266482695228?l=superflyswatter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/feeds/108309266482695228/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6624003&amp;postID=108309266482695228' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/108309266482695228'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/108309266482695228'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/2004/04/hollow-men.html' title='The Hollow Men'/><author><name>Superfly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03221373947812884073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624003.post-108273397436818699</id><published>2004-04-23T11:24:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2004-04-23T11:30:23.090-04:00</updated><title type='text'>A Great American Has Died</title><content type='html'>Thank you Pat, for serving our country, for protecting our freedoms and paying the ultimate cost.

After another Toledan revolt in 806, seven hundred inhabitants were executed. Insurrections erupted in Saragossa from 781 to 881, Cordova (805), Merida (805-813, 828 and the following year, and later in 868), and yet again in Toledo (811-819); the insurgents were crucified, as prescribed in Qur’an 5:33*. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The revolt in Cordova of 818 was crushed by three days of massacres and pillage, with 300 notables crucified and 20 000 families expelled. Feuding was endemic in the Andalusian cities between the different sectors of the population: Arab and Berber colonizers, Iberian Muslim converts (Muwalladun) and Christian dhimmis (Mozarabs). There were rarely periods of peace in the Amirate of Cordova (756-912), nor later.

But an entirely unprovoked attack by al-Qaeda on the US. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course they demand we withdraw from Iraq. But their demands do not stop there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They also demand we withdraw from Afghanistan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They demand we withdraw from all places in the Middle East, even when there with the consent of the country. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They demand the elimination of Israel. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They even have demanded the reintroduction of a caliphate on the Iberian Peninsula. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they demand in any Muslim country anywhere, a Taliban state, where human rights are curtailed, freedom reduced to religious slavery, women sent back to the dark ages. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recall the words they used just a few weeks ago in a statement celebrating their terrorism: "You love life, we love death".&lt;/strong&gt;

type='text'>A rant</title><content type='html'>An objective, non-partisan critique of the Iraq liberation would focus almost exclusively on the intelligence failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If those who opposed the war focused on this issue, they would have the support of 80% of conservatives and republicans.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead, they make all these stupid arguments that are personal to Bush (he's a liar, he's corrupt, he's stupid, etc., etc., etc) and betray the partisan motives behind their attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As soon as someone focuses on voting Bush out of office, instead of on fixing the intelligence problems, they lose all credibility on the issue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These partisans never even make the connection between the intelligence failure and voting Bush out of office. They are simply too blinded by their hatred of Bush to make this argument.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Kerry was smart, he would say: Bush needs to go because the intelligence failure occured on his watch. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6624003-108009220133507106?l=superflyswatter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/feeds/108009220133507106/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6624003&amp;postID=108009220133507106' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/108009220133507106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/108009220133507106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/2004/03/rant.html' title='A rant'/><author><name>Superfly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03221373947812884073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6624003.post-107938591230254120</id><published>2004-03-15T16:24:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2004-03-15T16:28:27.810-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Victor David Hanson</title><content type='html'>VDH on the Madrid bombings and their aftermath:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Let me get this straight.

Well, not exactly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2001 bin laden released a tape in which he referred to the "Tragedy of Andalusia". Andalusia, of course, is Spain. But what is this tragedy he spoke of?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quote:&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;The &lt;a href="http://slate.msn.com/id/1008411/"&gt;"tragedy of Andalusia"&lt;/a&gt; refers to the conquering in 1492 of the Muslim Kingdom of Granada by the Catholic monarchs Ferdinand and Isabella.&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bin laden is also mad about Palestine, of course. The reference to Andalusia in fact came in the following context: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quote:&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;Let the whole world know that we shall never accept that the tragedy of Andalusia would be repeated in Palestine. We cannot accept that Palestine will become Jewish....Our Islamic nation has been tasting the same for more than 80 years, of humiliation and disgrace, its sons killed and their blood spilled, its sanctities desecrated.&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;80 years is probably a reference to the Sykes-Picot agreement divided the Ottoman empire, including the British mandate over Palestine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The British Mandate in Palestine actually began September 11, 1922.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Madrid bombing came, I think, 911 days (2.5 years) after Sept. 11, 2001.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6624003-107936909952866277?l=superflyswatter.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/feeds/107936909952866277/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6624003&amp;postID=107936909952866277' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/107936909952866277'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6624003/posts/default/107936909952866277'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://superflyswatter.blogspot.com/2004/03/why-spain.html' title='&lt;strong&gt;Why Spain?&lt;/strong&gt;'/><author><name>Superfly</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03221373947812884073</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
