The title fits in a lot of ways.

I have a big problem with the fact that liberals have been slandering and trashing G.W.Bush since the day he was elected. Again, I didn't vote for the guy, but I think it's vicious, the relentless stream of allegations against him, and it's compelled me to question the fairness of the allegations against Bush.

If it was ONLY with the Iraq war that the venomous liberal slander began, I'd be more inclined to believe it.
But because negative spin of Bush's every move for the last three years has been so unrelenting, I'm far less inclined to believe the latest allegations.

And I DO think it's traitorous and demoralizing to the public, and our troops on the ground, to raise these allegations without proof over and over.

Again, it is comfort to the enemy, and it confuses and breaks our national resolve to fight Islamic fanaticism, which is unquestionably a global epidemic at this point.

No matter WHAT the Republicans do, liberal Democrats will say it's the wrong thing --pointlessly, RELENTLESSLY-- and undermine our national interests.
For self-serving liberals like Dean and Ted Kennedy and Gephardt to undermine our efforts to eliminate terrorism at its root (an operation with 10 years of increasingly grandiose Islamic terrorism to justify a house-cleaning of terrorism from the Arab world), is so clearly anti-American and treasonous.

With baseless slander and allegations, self-serving liberal opposition limits our military's ability to think toward the long term in Iraq and do the job right.

And every week there's new allegations, none of them are ever proven, and when they begin to be disproven, they are replaced with NEW slanderous allegeations, which are never proven.
But the liberal political rhetoric, and the liberal media coverage combine to confuse the public and undermine public support of the war, without a SHRED of hard evidence.
Treasonous rhetoric.

There are Democrats and Republicans who have questions about our policy, and respectfully ask for investigation, or push for changes in areas that are not working.
And then, in contrast, there's the treasonous scorched-earth rhetoric of Kennedy and Dean and Gephardt, that blindly condemns any military action, and slanderously smears the logic of every past and present decision made by the Bush administration, and the media collaboratively continues to report the allegations, never reports the insubstantial proof of the allegations, or ever reports the allegations have not been proven.

Where is the evidence of WMD's, you ask?

I ask: Where is the PROOF that Bush or any of his cabinet did anything wrong?
Allegations are not proof. And the constant perpetuation of endless allegations is unproductive, deceptive, and yes, treasonous.

Guantanamo Translator Arrested at Boston Airport
By CURT ANDERSON, The Associated Press


WASHINGTON (Sept. 30) -- A physician working as a translator at the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba was arrested Tuesday, authorities said, in the latest of a series of apprehensions that have raised questions about security at the center for terror suspects.

Dennis Murphy, a spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the arrest came at Boston's Logan International Airport. A senior law enforcement official, discussing the case on grounds of anonymity, identified the suspect as Ahmed Mehalba. This source said that Mehalba had stopped in Boston Monday after arriving on a flight from Cairo.
Agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement noticed documents that appeared to have come from the prison camp and that they suspected of being classified. The FBI was called in to interview Mehalba, who denied the documents were his, the official said.
After the interview, the FBI arrested Mehalba on charges of making false statements. He was being held in Boston and further charges are possible, said the official, who declined to describe the nature of the documents in Mehalba's possession.
Earlier, authorities charged an Air Force enlisted man, Ahmad I. al-Halbi, with espionage for allegedly sending classified information about the Guantanamo facility to an unspecified ''enemy.'' He also was accused of planning to give other secrets about the prison to someone traveling to Syria.
A military investigator said last week that Al-Halabi had been under investigation before he arrived at the base.
The Air Force Office of Special Investigations began looking into his case in November 2002 while he was a supply clerk at Travis Air Force Base in California, the agent wrote in court documents. Al-Halabi was sent to the Cuban base weeks later as an Arabic language interpreter for the al-Qaida and Taliban suspects there.

Another suspect is Army Capt. Yousef Yee, a Muslim chaplain who is being detained without charge at the Navy brig in Charleston, S.C. Al-Halabi is behind bars at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., forbidden to speak Arabic.
Army Lt. Col. Pamela Hart, a spokeswoman for the base, said last Friday that military authorities strengthened security at Guantanamo Bay in the wake of the arrests.
She said that officials were making certain that restrictions on handling documents, making phone calls and sending e-mails are being followed.
Al-Halabi had said that he is innocent. One of his lawyers, Air Force Maj. James Key III, said al-Halabi is a naturalized U.S. citizen and a patriotic American.
The most serious of the 32 charges against al-Halabi carries a possible death sentence. The implication is that al-Halabi was helping the prisoners communicate among themselves and with the outside world.

Gee, why am I suspicious of Muslims ?

That's not even including the Muslim enlisted man who was tossing grenades in officers' tents in Kuwait.
Or as Hal Lindsey said in one of his columns, that 80% of Mosques, even in the U.S., teach Islamic extremist ideas to their congregation. Of the U.S.'s population of 290 million, there are roughly 7 million Muslims.
And the fact that even ONE Muslim high school girl in New York (a girl !) can go on 60 Minutes and say that if she suicide-bombed a U.S. military base in the name of jihad for Allah, that they would die and go to heaven, THAT is of extreme concern to me.
Where would a high school girl get these ideas, except from her church and family? And where one American born and raised Muslim would say this, on national TV no less, there is another and another and another who would actually do it. (as I said, a 60 Minutes story titled "Young, Muslim and American")

Seven million Muslims in America. SEVEN MILLION. If only 1% were to be extremist, that's 70,000.
And dickheads out there question the detainment of 660 or so. Man, if I were were President... there be one hell of a lot more arrests and deportations.

I think I've been pretty clear that not all Muslims are hostile to America (as I quoted earlier, 30 to 50 percent of Muslim nations are boycotting American products, but as I've said elsewhere, a large percentage, even within the heart of Muslim extremism, Saudi Arabia and Iran, would like to see strict Islamic law abolished.)

As I've said before, not all Muslims are the enemy. But those who embrace Islamic fundamentalism seem hell-bent on our destruction, and the destruction of anyone else who disagrees with them.
And not just of the U.S., but destruction of the whole of Western culture. I feel the threat that these extremists pose --whether less than 1%, or 20 to 30%-- is dismissed too easily by liberal democrats and the liberal media.

I do feel all of Islamic fundamentalism is the enemy.
The more strictly Islamic law is practiced, the more dangerous it is to the rest of the world, even to other Muslim groups who disagree. There is a glamourization of holy war and conquest, and suicidally giving one's life for The Cause that, again, resembles that of the Nazis and Imperial Japanese, that had similar ideas about honor and code of the warrior, and extermination of all ideological opposition.

Maybe 50 or 100 years or more ago, Islamic Fundamentalism meant something else. But now, in its widely practiced present form, it is a fanatical and destructive belief system. Although the spread of Islam, and the continued enforcement of Islam, is pretty destructive from its beginnings.
And certainly, it is under threat of violence and death that many throughout the world remain Islamic today.

The struggle of the U.S., politically and militarily (and France and Germany, if they would wake up to the threat to themselves as well) is to appeal to the more moderate sects of Islam, and not alienate those who support peaceful and productive Islamic reform.

From what I've read, 50 to 80% of most Islamic countries oppose us.

In the more secular Iraq, (as the Wall Street Journal article I've quoted --twice-- documents) about 66% of Iraqis favor U.S. presence and reconstruction, all things conssidered.
And I find it unconscionable and treasonous that jerks like Dean and Kennedy and Gephardt undermine a just cause (for my money, the most right and just war since WW II) for their own self-serving political posturing, in the face of such a crucial struggle, to destroy our needed resolve and ability to do the job right for the long term, and instead push for us to bail out of Iraq and elsewhere.
Liberal policy is as whining and venomous as it is naive of the danger, and its lies and half-truths have made this war much harder.

Because our military, and the people of Iraq, have to worry when liberals will take away their funding to do the job right, it is slowly moving toward a rush job, instead of doing the job right in Iraq, as long as it takes. Instead of two years, it's being pushed toward one year.
Behold, the fruit of treasonous rhetoric.

The struggle is to fight extremism without alienating the entire Muslim world. And as hard as that mission is, I think our military is doing a splendid job of it. Despite the "sky is falling" spin of the media, and their being undermined by traitorous rhetoric at home.

I only hope they're able to finish the job right, despite the deceitful rhetoric of liberals.
