A Democrat win is a victory for Terrorist!!
Anybody with any common sense knows that three people will be happy if the democrats win Congress. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Osama Bin Laden. The terrorist will be dancing in their caves and I wouldn't be surprised if Osama Bin Laden or one of his henchmen make a tape claiming some kind of victory. This is clearly a sign of retreat because the democrats basically ran on the terrorist platform, I hate Bush too and I'm against Iraq. So of course this is a sign of weakness and I think the American people want to give the terrorist a victory to appease them. I don't understand people in this country who have the mentality if we leave them alone that they will leave us alone. They attacked the WTC before Iraq twice, the U.S.S. Cole and the Embassy in Africa. The terrorist will kill your family in front of you in a heartbeat.
You know democrats say that there were no terrorist in Iraq before we got there, that tells you that the terrorist don't care about Iraq they only came there to kill Americans. So common sense tells you that if we cut and run out of Iraq that they will follow us back to America and the fight will take place on the streets of Maryland, Washington D.C. and New York. Freedom is not free and when people are going into Walmart or Tops with armed guards and sniffing dogs at the door maybe they will realize this but I think it will be too late. It's almost a certainty that the terrorist will follow us to the streets of America if we leave Iraq. If the democrats win Congress, I think the troops will be home in less than a year and the terrorist will follow them. Then this will be a different country. I'm already making plans to leave the country because the American people don't have the will to fight for freedom. We are fighting against people that fly planes into buildings and if you think that when we retreat that they will just leave us alone you must have your head in the sand. When we cut and ran out of Somolia Bin Laden called America paper tigers and said that we couldn't stand to see violence on T.V. I think this country is in BIG trouble.

Freedom not free... check. OK Quantumtheologica1, it looks like you've memorized all the right wing talking points. Don't let the door hit you on your way out of the country.
"You know democrats say that there were no terrorist in Iraq before we got there, that tells you that the terrorist don't care about Iraq they only came there to kill Americans. So common sense tells you that if we hadn't invaded Iraq in the first place there would be no terrorists there. But fundies don't have even the minimal amount of intelligence needed to understand that. They will invade country after country and blame the resulting terrorism on democrats. They stick their head in the sand so they won't have to deal with the unpleasant facts right in front of them.
You know democrats say that there were no terrorist in Iraq before we got there
No Al Qaida, that's for sure.
that tells you that the terrorist don't care about Iraq they only came there to kill Americans.
There are so many mistakes in that line of "logic" that I'm not even certain I could point them all out. But here's one: you assume that no one became a terrorist because of the Iraq war, which is almost certainly false. If foreign troops arrived here to oversee rebuilding the nation after overthrowing a dictator but managed not even to get critical infrastructure working, how long do you think it would take for some subset of the American people to take matters into their own hands?
I'm already making plans to leave the country because the American people don't have the will to fight for freedom.
We won't miss you.
Wrong link there Joey, but I found the comic you were refering too.

And I back Chaplain on this. Does this guy not know that there's more than one terrorist?
I also love the general "cutting and running is bad, never retreat!" without any plan on how to get our hand out of the meatgrinder. Thanks!
You seem to have an affection for bin laden.
Another Republican right phrase, 'Cut and RUn', as though there are only two options, 'Stay the Course' or quit. We WILL have to eventually leave Iraq, it's not neccessarily going to be a matter of packing up one night and slipping out the window, like Iraq is some 'frankenstein-daughter-one-night-stand'.
Terrorists have hated America for many years. Just because you are only realizing when your backyard gets messy doesn't proove anything except that you are uninformed.
Americans are getting off their lazy asses and voting because they are trying to give the terrorists a win?
That is highly offensive to the point of nearly treason.
Please do move.
Yes, actually, Osama Bin Laden was delighted when he saw that, far from trying to unite the moslem world against him, attacked a country with which he had no ties whatsoever, and united all the offended moslems making them believe that the West really hated them. The funniest thing is the following line. You´re against Bush and Iraq.............HO HO HO.
and said that we couldn't stand to see violence on T.V.
Is a comment even needed for this line? Has Quantum even SEEN a television or know what one is?!
Are you high? Bin Laden probably shit himself when the Democrats took Congress. Now the only war bills that pass will be stuff that actually causes progress in Iraq, and not fearmongering deprivation of privacy using the war as an excuse. Now that Bush can't just pass any damn thing he wants through Congress, maybe we can get something done around here.
A Democrat win is a victory for Terrorist!!
I think this is apropriate...
Anybody with any common sense knows that three people will be happy if the democrats win Congress.
Oh, really? Some 65% of the population wants to end the boondoggle in Iraq, and Bush has the lowest approval rating since Nixon. The Democrats were swept into Congress. Somehow, I think more than three people are happy about it.
Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Osama Bin Laden.
Why, exactly, would Osama be happy? The Democrats aren't doing that much to stop Bush, sure, but Bush is Osama's top recruiter, and he's a bit sad the shrub lost so much of his power.
The terrorist will be dancing in their caves and I wouldn't be surprised if Osama Bin Laden or one of his henchmen make a tape claiming some kind of victory.
He didn't. You lose.
This is clearly a sign of retreat...
No, it's a sign we might actually start doing something about terrorism.
...because the democrats basically ran on the terrorist platform, I hate Bush too and I'm against Iraq.
Um, something like 65% of the country opposes the Iraq war. Why do you think the Democrats got elected?
So of course this is a sign of weakness...
What the fuck?
Stupid, it was a sign of weakness to go into Iraq in the first place! Iraq never attacked us. Osama did. Osama, in fact, hated Saddam's guts because Saddam was a secular dictator and not a radical Muslim!
In fact, Iraq was quite hostile to al Qaeda and the terrorists until we made a mess out of it and turned it into a terrorist breeding ground. People who otherwise wouldn't care about us are now willing to die fighting us. Furthermore, our war against Iraq reinforced Osama's declaration that the US is in a war against Islam, not merely the specific terrorists who attacked us. This, of course, inflames Muslims everywhere; if we're just out to get Osama because his crew attacked us, that's one thing, but if we're fighting Islam itself? People who would be OK with us destroying al Qaeda might be willing to fight to the death against us since we seem to be fighting a "war on Islam." And, on top of that, we squandered away the support of the world after 9/11 and went into Iraq against their wishes and on false pretenses.
By attacking Iraq, we sent the terrorists a clear message: "If you attack us, we'll ignore you and kill your enemies for you, while creating thousands of new recruits for you and annoying people who might otherwise come to our aid if you attack us again."
It's absurd that people still think that leaving Iraq would be a sign of weakness.
...and I think the American people want to give the terrorist a victory to appease them.
What the even more fuck??! You and your Republican buddies handed the terrorists a huge victory back in '03 when you stopped bothering to track them down, and decided to waste money and peoples' lives in a war to turn a country hostile to terrorists into a terrorist breeding ground with angry native people who oppose our occupying force. If the Democrats were in charge, Osama would probably be caught right now, and 9/11 would probably never have happened in the first place do you really think Gore would have ignored the memo: "Bin Laden Determined To Strike Inside The US" or downsized the counterterrorism department?
I don't understand people in this country who have the mentality if we leave them alone that they will leave us alone.
There aren't that many such people. The real problem is that you can't understand anything more complex or nuanced than: "We were attacked by brown people. Therefore, we have to kill brown people and we won't get attacked again."
They attacked the WTC before Iraq twice, the U.S.S. Cole and the Embassy in Africa. The terrorist will kill your family in front of you in a heartbeat.
Yes, "they" did attack the World Trade Center and USS Cole. The thing is, "they" are not Iraq nor Iraqis. "They" didn't like Iraq. We attacked the wrong people!
You know democrats say that there were no terrorist in Iraq before we got there, that tells you that the terrorist don't care about Iraq they only came there to kill Americans.
Yeah, pretty much. Of course, there would be a lot fewer of them if we didn't unnecessarily aggravate the entire Muslim world with an unprovoked attack on a sovereign nation. There might be fewer still if we actually tried to capture them instead of wasting billions of dollars and causing thousands of deaths attacking their enemy .
So common sense tells you that if we cut and run out of Iraq that they will follow us back to America and the fight will take place on the streets of Maryland, Washington D.C. and New York.
WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK??!
I simply cannot understand how anyone could honestly believe this "puppy dog theory" of terrorism.
You idiot, the terrorists already know where America is, and they could come over here whether we are in Iraq or not! How the fucking hell do soldiers in Iraq prevent terrorists from coming here?
Freedom is not free...
Well, it would help if you idiots weren't constantly trying to destroy freedom in the name of freedom.
...and when people are going into Walmart or Tops with armed guards and sniffing dogs at the door maybe they will realize this but I think it will be too late.
That's already happened, you idiot.
Well, not bomb sniffing dogs in Wal-Mart , but bomb sniffing dogs in public places everywhere.
And a complete loss of our freedom.
QT1, the President could lock you up without charges, torture you, and convict you of a crime based on coerced "confessions" or "secret" evidence you're not allowed to see. That's worse than bomb sniffing dogs, and it's going on right now.
The destruction of our freedom, the very thing you claim the terrorists will do is being done in the name of "fighting terror" by the people claiming to protect you from the terrorists.
And if people still insist that the terrorists are puppies who will playfully "follow us home," it may be too late.
If you find yourself accused of terrorist plotting, locked up, and denied access to a lawyer or even the smallest opportunity to prove that you're innocent, you will realize this, but it will be too late.
It's almost a certainty that the terrorist will follow us to the streets of America if we leave Iraq.
Let me say this very slowly in simple words so that you can understand it. I'll try not to scream.
This is a world map. It clearly shows where the United States is in relation to where the terrorists are. It's on the Internet, which means that anybody can look at it. That includes terrorists.
This is the website for one of many airlines. It has flights from the Middle East to the US.
Our ports are not secure, and it would be relatively easy to ship in a bomb. Or make one at home.
The terrorists are not an army and are not working specifically for a certain country. They do not wear uniforms. They are far more similar to the Mafia than the Army. They cannot be fought or defeated via traditional warfare, where you attack a specific country because they can simply move out and go to another country if they think they're at risk. If they want, they can come here. Hopefully, we'll be able to catch them if they do. However, they will not be stopped by soldiers in Iraq and suggesting otherwise is asinine.
Case in point. A group of terrorists planned to attack Fort Dix. They were already in the US. They were stopped when a store clerk and similar ordinary people tipped off the police. Unless you're going to make an absurd argument that somehow ordinary civilians in the US told the authorities about a terrorist plot being planned in the US because soldiers are dying in Iraq, I have fully demolished your point and can move on.
If the democrats win Congress, I think the troops will be home in less than a year and the terrorist will follow them.
You're wrong on both counts. Unfortunately, they didn't end the war; they recently caved like a bunch of cowards and voted to continue the war despite 65% of the population opposing it and electing them specifically to end it.
Of course, your claim that the terrorists would "follow us home" doesn't need to be addressed; the puppy dog theory of terrorism is absurd on its surface, and I've already debunked it using small words to make this obvious even to a twit like you.
Then this will be a different country.
Meh. Hopefully, the Democrats will come to their senses and end the war, pass laws saying that women and gays are people too, reinstate the Bill of Rights, and maybe (but I'm just dreaming here), hold the president accountable for his crimes.0
I'm already making plans to leave the country...
WOOHOO! [voice= Bugs Bunny] Good bye! Farewell! Bon voyage! Farewell to thee! [/voice]
...because the American people don't have the will to fight for freedom.

The Republican administration has suspended the entire Bill of Rights. Thanks to them, you can be locked up and tortured without being charged with or suspected of a crime. Voting those authoritarians out was the first time the people stood up for freedom in years!
We are fighting against people that fly planes into buildings...
Yes, we have to deal with the terrorists. However, the biggest threat to our freedoms are the politicians who have and will continue to destroy our freedoms in the name of protecting them from the terrorists, as well as the gullible sheep who believe them.
...and if you think that when we retreat that they will just leave us alone you must have your head in the sand.
If you still think that Iraq has anything to do with fighting terrorism, that Republicans are protecting freedom, or that our presence in Iraq somehow prevents terrorists from coming here, you really have your head in the sand.
And we're all suffering as a result.
When we cut and ran out of Somolia Bin Laden called America paper tigers and said that we couldn't stand to see violence on T.V.
Oh, really? Cite your source please.
Osama can't establish a base in Somalia. We weren't fighting him there.
Of course, it was already well known that Americans don't like unnecessary wars. Just look at the opposition to Vietnam, which was fought during the Cold War, when we were funding al Qaeda.
Quiz question: Which one shows weakness for America?
1. We found ourselves in a civil war between two sides with long-standing hostilities in Somalia. Somalia did not pose a threat to the US. President Clinton, hoping to avoid a quagmire, pulled out.
2. We found ourselves in a civil war between two sides with long-standing hostilities in Iraq. Iraq did not pose a threat to the US. Mr. Bush spent the last four years denying that it existed, first declaring that the mission was accomplished, then saying it would be over when we found Saddam, then saying it would be over when Iraq drew up a constitution, then saying it would be over when Iraqis voted, and now saying that we'll be there for the next 50 years or so, while at the same time snatching government power and eliminating civil liberties and freedom in order to continue the war, and insulting the intelligence, integrity, and patriotism of anyone who opposed the war or his increased authoritarianism, to the point of accusing them of treason.
I think this country is in BIG trouble.
I think so too, and you're the reason why.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
