It’s human nature — if you hear something disturbing over and over, it eventually wears off. Maybe I can help bring some good ol’ fashioned indignation back to the US. You see, one of my favorite observations regarding Bin Laden is that you could take one of his speeches, sign Michael Moore (or any other leftist tool) at the bottom, and you’d never know the difference.

Case in point: the new Bin Laden video calls former Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld the “most violent murderer” of the Iraq war. Gee, where have I heard that before? Maybe in every Digg and Reddit comment pertaining to the Iraq war. Or maybe it was the anti-war protest in downtown SF where our troops are revealed to be the ‘real’ terrorists.

Also in the new bin Laden video: read Chomsky! That’s right, Osama wants to you read up on some America hatin’ from a fellow American. Why listen to some poor goatf*cker in Afghanistani borderlands tell you to hate America when you can learn from an MIT professor! It isn’t the first time that the Osama book-of-the-month club has recommended a virulently anti-American diatribe from a wackademic.

It’s too bad OBL and his al-Queda buddies can’t vote — that is, it’s too bad for the Democrats.

More evidence that Iran’s government has been fighting a proxy war in Iraq:

Iran is secretly forging ties with al-Qaida elements and Sunni Arab militias in Iraq in preparation for a summer showdown with coalition forces intended to tip a wavering US Congress into voting for full military withdrawal, US officials say.

“Iran is fighting a proxy war in Iraq and it’s a very dangerous course for them to be following. They are already committing daily acts of war against US and British forces,” a senior US official in Baghdad warned. “They [Iran] are behind a lot of high-profile attacks meant to undermine US will and British will, such as the rocket attacks on Basra palace and the Green Zone [in Baghdad]. The attacks are directed by the Revolutionary Guard who are connected right to the top [of the Iranian government].”

In Iraq, because of tighter security since the troop surge, terrorists have resorted to new lows in order to continue causing death and destruction. Now, children are being used as decoys in vehicles laden with explosives. The youths lower suspicion at checkpoints, and then, when clear of authorities, the adults hop out of the vehicle and detonate the explosives:

Insurgents in Iraq detonated an explosives-rigged vehicle with two children in the back seat after US soldiers let it through a Baghdad checkpoint over the weekend, a senior US military official said Tuesday.

The vehicle was stopped at the checkpoint but was allowed through when soldiers saw the children in the back, said Major General Michael Barbero of the Pentagon’s Joint Staff. “Children in the back seat lowered suspicion. We let it move through. They parked the vehicle, and the adults ran out and detonated it with the children in the back,” Barbero said.

The general said it was the first time he had seen a report of insurgents using children in suicide bombings. But he said Al-Qaeda in Iraq is changing tactics in response to the tighter controls around the city. A US defense official said the incident occurred on Sunday in Baghdad’s Adhamiyah district, a mixed neighborhood adjacent to Sadr City, which is predominantly Shiite.

After going through the checkpoint, the vehicle parked next to a market across the street from a school, said the official, who asked not to be identified.

“And the two adults were seen to get out of the vehicle, and run from the vehicle, and then followed by the detonation of the vehicle,” the official said. “It killed the two children inside as well as three other civilians in the vicinity. So, a total of five killed, seven injured.”

Officials here said they did not know who the children were or their relationship to the two adults who fled the scene. They had no information about their ages or genders.

I want to cry when I think of kids being blow up all in the name of “Allah.” But don’t forget that America is the biggest impediment to world peace.

Apparently, John Kerry was shunned by our soldiers on his latest visit to Iraq. For some reason they didn’t appreciate his comments about being stuck in Iraq because they were stupid.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Here’s what the soldier who took the photo wrote:

This is a true story…..Check out this photo from our mess hall at the US Embassy yesterday
morning. Sen. Kerry found himself all alone while he was over here. He
cancelled his press conference because no one came, he worked out alone
in the gym w/o any soldiers even going up to say hi or ask for an
autograph (I was one of those who was in the gym at the same time), and
he found himself eating breakfast with only a couple of folks who are
obviously not troops.

What is amazing is Bill O’Reilly came to visit with us and the troops at
the CSH the same day and the line for autographs extended through the
palace and people waited for two hours to shake his hand. You decide who
is more respected and loved by us servicemen and women!

And this guy was almost the president?
