The "Ds" don't have the 'nads to do it.

Libya to Join US and UK In 'War on Terror'
The Financial Times of London ^ | Friday March 26, 2003 | Christoper Adams
Libya on Thursday brought to an end decades of international isolation as a pariah state with a promise to join forces with the United States of America and the United Kingdom to fight the global war against terrorism.
It is to provide intelligence to help root out Al Qaeda and on Thursday secured a gas exploration deal with Shell that could be worth billions of dollars.
Tony Blair, UK Prime Minister, held two hours of talks with Col. Muammer Gadaffi in a bedroom tent a few miles outside of Tripoli, the first time a British leader has set foot in the country since 1943.
He emerged afterwords to declare the Libyan leader an important ally and urged other Arab countries to follow Tripoli's example.
The historic talks sealed a dramatic and rapid transformation of Libya's standing in the international community, a process that started in earnest in December when it unexpectedly renounced its pursuit of weapons of mass destuction.
That decision followed more than a year of secret negoiations with Britain and the US.
On December 19, 2003, Libya announced it would dismantle its weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and ballistic missile programs. Since then, U.S., British, and international officials have inspected and removed or destroyed key components of those programs, and Libya has provided valuable information, particularly about foreign suppliers. Libya’s WMD disarmament is a critical step towards reintegration into the world community, and a necessary but probably not sufficient prerequisite for lifting U.S. sanctions. This report will be updated as needed. See also CRS Issue Brief IB 93109, Libya, by Clyde Mark.
as opposed to smiling, happy-faced imperialism?

"As for the fighting to repulse [an enemy], it is aimed at defending sanctity and religion, and it is a duty as agreed [by the ulema]. Nothing is more sacred than belief except repulsing an enemy who is attacking religion and life." On that basis, and in compliance with God's order, we issue the following fatwa to all Muslims:
The ruling to kill the Americans and their allies -- civilians and military -- is an individual duty for every Muslim who can do it in any country in which it is possible to do it, in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy mosque [Mecca] from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim. This is in accordance with the words of Almighty God, "and fight the pagans all together as they fight you all together," and "fight them until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God."
We -- with God's help -- call on every Muslim who believes in God and wishes to be rewarded to comply with God's order to kill the Americans and plunder their money wherever and whenever they find it. We also call on Muslim ulema, leaders, youths, and soldiers to launch the raid on Satan's U.S. troops and the devil's supporters allying with them, and to displace those who are behind them so that they may learn a lesson.

well i sure hope the surge got us into a better place to handle what is currently brewing with that sadr jerk. once again, i'm really glad my tax dollars are being thrown at a herd of cats.
BAGHDAD - Iraq's elusive Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr has decided to drop out of politics for the time being because his disillusionment with the political scene in Iraq has left him sick and anxious, he said in an unusually personal letter to his followers released Friday. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-iraq-sadr_sly_08mar08,0,7783098.story
Shi'ite cleric and leader Muqtada Al-Sadr was secretly transferred a few days ago from Iraq to Iran for hospitalization as he was comatose.
It was reported that his illness resulted from food poisoning.
Al-Sadr is being treated by Iranian specialists, as well as by Russian doctors brought in to help the Iranian medical staff treat him. http://www.thememriblog.org/blog_personal/en/5884.htm
Mr al-Maliki has taken charge of the mission personally, staking his reputation on a showdown with the powerful Shia private armies that prey on Basra – above all, the dominant Mahdi Army loyal to Hojatoleslam Moqtada al-Sadr, a radical anti-American cleric.

There is currently only one unified sect that concerns itself with superiority, subordination, domination, or elimination of anyone who doesn't worship their religion.
You mean like "Hey, my brothers. You wanna kill some Americans?" As in if we weren't in Iraq they would leave us alone?? The recruitment has been going on for a long time.
Our presence in Iraq has not been the impetus. Our presence on this planet is.
There is currently only one unified sect that concerns itself with superiority, subordination, domination, or elimination of anyone who doesn't worship their religion. They want a return of the caliphate to unite their believers, and a rule of sharia law.

The call to global Islamic radicalism has been revived, emboldened, and directly aided by---no, not our presence in Iraq---by a movement that is a renewal of political Islam that dated back to the days of Muhammad. Look at the Muslim Brotherhood page. Since organization in the late 1920s they began to spread the principal of the radicalized Islamic ideal: That Islam is "Creed and state, book and sword, and a way of life." Among its' goals are building the Muslim state and mastering the world with Islam:
Allah is our objective.
The messenger is our leader.
Quran is our law.
Jihad is our way.
Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.
Our presence in Iraq has not been the impetus. Our presence on this planet is.
spike has a point. which sect?
......saddam sure as shit....
....and also BTW....
...there are blowhards in....
....the brotherhood is, formally, against violence, right?
bin laden himself said not too long ago that he'd pretty much call his shit off if we left the middle east.
.....unsurprising statement to anyone .....
i'm sorry, were you trying to say something, jim?
moammar's been irrelevant for YEARs now.
try again. try hitting the issue head on. you can do it.
bin laden himself said not too long ago that he'd pretty much call his shit off if we left the middle east.
not that he should be taken at his word,
or that we don't have business being there and should get out,
but it certainly is an unsurprising statement to anyone with a basic knowledge of middle eastern politics and peoples.
1. He and his boys are getting their asses kicked and hen would say and do anything to get us to leave while he can still salvage some of his reputation.
2. The Quran says that Muslims have no duty to abide by any agreement made with the Infidels.
Yeah, let's get out of there, turn the entire mess over to the radicals so they can kill our economy and use the money they make from the EU and countries like Japan to ramp up their nuclear ambitions. Great idea.
Read 1 and 2 above.
In keeping with the traditional definition of "deviating from a generally accepted religious tradition"......"Sect = Radical Islam."
Saddam is two and a half years dead. It doesn't matter what he wanted. Bend an ear to what radical Islam wants.
"Caliph" is a spiritual leader of Islam, something the Radicals lust after.
Imagine drifting around, pining for someone to give you guidance besides a long-gone child molester. You'd want some direction, too.
Maybe there are. I only care about the ones that want us dead in this corner.
Appeasement?? You think it would be a good thing if we bowed to what Binney-Boy wants??
Damn Pelosi & Reid, et al!
wow. nice attempt to polarize my responses into what they aren't. please review and revise. nah, fuck it.
sorry, i gave up molesting kids when peel and i quit cruising highway rest stops in the late 90s.
Maybe you should reread and/or revise your post.
You posted:
... not that he should be taken at his word, or that we don't have business being there and should get out ...
Which becomes
... not ... that we don't have business being there and should get out ...
You promised you'd never tell!
why the fuck would i want to bend an ear to those jerks?
