SCIENTISTS NOW PREDICT MUCH LESS GLOBAL WARMING

THE AUSTRALIAN:

THE world's top climate scientists have cut their worst-case forecast for global warming over the next 100 years. ... The new projections put paid to some of the more alarmist scenarios raised by previous modelling, which have suggested that sea levels could rise by almost 1m over the same period. The report projects a rise in sea levels by century's end of between 14cm and 43cm, with further rises expected in following centuries caused by melting polar ice.

14 cm. YAWN. I think the planet and humanity can survive 14 cm. We have in the past. And as for stronger storms some forecast: these run in cycles anyhow - naturally, as does global-warming/global cooling.

I think it's time for the man-made global warming fearmongers to STFU.

THE PLAME AFFAIR: LIES. DAMNED LIES AND POLITICS

WASHPOST (hat tip DRUDGE):

End of an Affair: It turns out that the person who exposed CIA agent Valerie Plame was not out to punish her husband.

WE'RE RELUCTANT to return to the subject of former CIA employee Valerie Plame because of our oft-stated belief that far too much attention and debate in Washington has been devoted to her story and that of her husband, former ambassador Joseph C. Wilson IV, over the past three years. But all those who have opined on this affair ought to take note of the not-so-surprising disclosure that the primary source of the newspaper column in which Ms. Plame's cover as an agent was purportedly blown in 2003 was former deputy secretary of state Richard L. Armitage.

Mr. Armitage was one of the Bush administration officials who supported the invasion of Iraq only reluctantly. He was a political rival of the White House and Pentagon officials who championed the war and whom Mr. Wilson accused of twisting intelligence about Iraq and then plotting to destroy him. Unaware that Ms. Plame's identity was classified information, Mr. Armitage reportedly passed it along to columnist Robert D. Novak "in an offhand manner, virtually as gossip," according to a story this week by the Post's R. Jeffrey Smith, who quoted a former colleague of Mr. Armitage.

It follows that one of the most sensational charges leveled against the Bush White House -- that it orchestrated the leak of Ms. Plame's identity to ruin her career and thus punish Mr. Wilson -- is untrue.

Wilson and Plame should be charged with treason: for partisan and personal gain they slandered the POTUS during war-time. Armitage should be charged with aiding and abetting. Fitzgerald should be disbarred.

Not only was the entire Plame Affair BS; but the original 16 words spoken by Bush in the SOTU (about British intel's awareness that Saddam had recently effrted to get uranium from Africa) remain true to this day.

KOFI IS A JERK: Claims Assad will enforce an arms embargo on Hizballah

NYTIMES:

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said Friday that Syria would step up border patrols and work with the Lebanese army to stop the flow of weapons to Hezbollah. Syria will increase its own patrols along the Lebanon-Syria border, and establish joint patrols with the Lebanese army ''when possible,'' Annan said after meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad in Damascus. Assad made no public comments after their meeting, but Annan spoke with reporters at the Damascus airport before he departed midday for Qatar.

Assad didn't appear afterwards becasue he couldn't stop laughing!

Really: is Kofi the dumbest piece of crap in the world, deluding himself or an ally of the enemy!? I mean: doesn't Kofi know that Assad is a freaking tyrannical assassinator who is the principle arms conduit for Hizballah?! Maybe Assad paid off Kofi - lke Saddam did.

More HERE and HERE.

WILSON AND PLAME REFUSE TO LET THE FACTS GET IN THE WAY OF THEIR LAW-SUIT

BBC:

Outed CIA operative Valerie Plame and her husband, Bush critic Joseph Wilson, plan to go ahead with a lawsuit against close associates of President George W Bush despite a startling new revelation about the source of the leak that blew Ms Plame's cover, one of her lawyers has said.

Valerie Plame and Joe Wilson in a July 2006 file photo The new information "has no impact on the case. This case is about top-level White House officials who conspired against Valerie Wilson," Melanie Sloan, one of the Wilsons' lawyers, told the BBC, referring to Ms Plame by her married name.

The Wilsons filed suit in July against Vice-President Dick Cheney; his former chief of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby; and Karl Rove, George W Bush's top political adviser, accusing them of intentionally revealing Ms Plame's identity to discredit Mr Wilson.

Armitage has admitted it was him. This is ntirely dispositive of their case. Their refusal to give up proves that they are either paranoids or traitors out to get the POTUS. Or both.

According to one report:

And he let the information slip to columnist Robert Novak more than three years ago not because he was part of an administration plot to exact revenge on Mr Wilson, but because he is "a well-known gossip who loves to dish and receive juicy tidbits about Washington characters", Mr Isikoff wrote in Newsweek magazine, where he works.

THE FACT THAT ARMITAGE FOUND OUT ABOUT PLAME THROUGH GOSSIP PROVES THAT IT WAS WIDELY KNOWN IN DC THAT WILSON'S WIFE WAS AT THE CIA.

WAVE OF BOMBINGS IN THAILAND TARGETING GOP; CHRISTIANS, AND ZIONISTS

BBC:

A series of small bombs has exploded almost simultaneously at commercial banks in southern Thailand.At least 21 banks were attacked in quick succession on Thursday morning across Yala province. Two people have been killed and police say dozens of other people were injured in the blasts.

The attack is the latest in a string of violent incidents in the Thai south, where more than 1,300 people have been killed since January 2004.

These attacks were of course not targeting the GOP or Christians or JOOOOOZE. And it had nothing to do with Karl Rove, Joe Wilson, Dick Cheney, Richad Perle, Israel, or Rumsfeld.

IT'S ABOUT GLOBAL JIHAD, STUPID!

LEBANON GOVERNMENT GETS A BILLION DOLLARS FOR ALLOWING HIZBALLAH TO INCITE WAR

THIS IS MADNESS: BBC:

The Lebanon donor conference in Stockholm has raised more than $940m in pledges of new money, Swedish Foreign Minister Jan Eliasson has said. The organisers of the aid conference had set a target of $500m. The new pledges bring the total amount of money raised to help with the rebuilding of Lebanon to $1.2bn.

LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT: In direct violation of UNSCR #1559, the Lebanese government failed to even attempt to disarm Hizballah - the terrorist organization which (until 9/11) had murdered more Americans than any other in the world. Thus, the Lebanese government is complicit with Hizballah - which even has seat in the Lebanese Parliament and in the cabinet! The Lebanese government allowed this terrorist organization to remain armed and to remain in de facto control of the south of Lebanon.

This Lebanese government still contains Hizballah terrorists. And now, the Lebanese government is getting more than a billion dollars.

This is freakin' NUTS. Until the Lebanese government does not contain a single terrorist, and until Lebanon does not harbor terrorists or allow them to control any of Lebanon's territory, they should not get a single solitary penny.

For imposing a cease-fire, and for appeasing Hizballah and the Lebanese government which includes Hizballah - Bush and Condi should be ASHAMED of themselves. What they've done is hypocritical and counter-productive. Bill Maher - believe it or not said it well:

I feel really bad for Lebanon. I'm sorry you got your country all bombed up. But, you know, when you let a terrorist organization take over your country that's what's going to happen. I'll tell you two Arab countries that never get bombed, Egypt and Jordan, because they made a peace treaty with Israel. Try it.

You don't win wars by giving the enemy a cease-fire. I belive the IDF did more damage to Hizballah than the other way around. And that's why I believe we should havce let Israel finish the job. THEN AND ONLY THEN would an aid package - to a Lebanese government which would not have a single terrorist in it - makes sense.

NUTROOT LOONS: THE EPITOME OF DELUSIONAL DENIAL

They believe any ol' crap from the jihadothug propaganda machine - (this links to one of the two dozen or major Hizballah lies the MSM happily repeated), but they think 9/11 was an inside job.

They deny 1400 years of jihad, and accept freshly minted lies that were exposed almost as soon as they were told.

They are freakin' insane.

Sadly, they call the shots in the Democrat Party now. And if we're not careful, they could win Congress. And if they do, then they'll do to the Iraqis and the Afghanis and the Israelis what they did to the South Vietnamese and the Contras: abandon them.

AL G. & ALGAE: or why plankton and not humans may really be responsible for increases in atmospheric CO2

BBC/NATURE: Ocean plankton absorbing less CO2

The amount of carbon absorbed [sequestered] by plant plankton in large segments of the Pacific Ocean is much less than previously estimated, researchers say. US scientists said the tiny ocean plants were absorbing up to two billion tonnes less CO2 because their growth was being limited by a lack of iron.

Iron deposits provide nutrients for the microbes, which in turn grow by absorbing [sequestering] atmospheric carbon dioxide. The findings have been published in the science journal Nature.

If they are sequestering less, then more will stay in the atmosphere. Er, um ... so apparently plankton is the real culprit responsible for higher atmoshperic CO2 and not SUV's. Hmmm. What will Gore do about this, give iron supplements to ocean algae!?

Seriously: it proves - once again - that IF global warming is primarily a result of increased atmospheric CO2, that this doesnlt necessarily mean that it is anthropgenic. Not at all. Therefore, it would be a huge and wasteful and horrific error to enact draconian and socialistic laws and regulations and taxes - like Kyoto - because they would not improve the ecology and would impede economic growth (and therefore lead to more poverty).

There are sensible things we should be doing. HERE'RE SOME GOOD IDEAS.

SELF DEFENSE IS A PRIMARY HUMAN RIGHT - EVEN FOR JEWS

YONI (on the recent anti-Semitic attack in SF):

... the suspect targeted two people in front of the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco located on California Street. We also know that Popal had just returned from a trip to Afghanistan, where he had met his bride to be as part of an arranged marriage. We also know that Popal was born in America according to what I have read. Popal at the time of his arrest declared himself to be a terrorist.

This is the second major terror attack against targets identified as Jewish in America in about a month’s time. Both attacks were carried out by Muslims. But both the authorities and the Jewish community want to deny the truth of what these attacks are terrorism. Terrorism against Jews for the crime of being Jewish. ...

There are a number of things in this world that I hate. First is terrorism. Second is Jews being murdered and I hate even more when Jews dying stupid. The time has come to grow up and first thank G-D that you were born in America a country that is free and has a Second Amendment which allows you to own guns. Yes I said it, own guns.

HERE'S MORE PROOF:

This is what an UNARMED Jew wears.

And this is what an ARMED Jew wears.

The stars can, after all, predict one's fate. You choose your star, and you choose your fate.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER - part 17: CHAVEZ AND ASSAD

YAHOO/AP:

DAMASCUS, Syria - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said in Damascus on Wednesday that he and Syrian President Bashar Assad shared a "decisive and firm" stance against U.S. "imperialism" and "domination."

Funny how tyrants stick together, ain't it! And their all Leftists, too. Sheesh. And what's they're beef with USA "hegemony" anyway!? I mean, if you look at the nations under USA influence versus USSR/Marxist/Leftist influence, there's really ZERO rationale for complaining about the USA: EVERY NATION UNDER OUR PROTECTION HAS THRIVED AS A RESULT. From Western Europe, to South Korea and Taiwan, and Thailand and Chile.

Meanwhile, every nation that tried Leftism gets sucked into poverty and tyranny. Zimbabwe is just a recent example.

This should surprise no one. After all: Prosperity is a by-product of liberty.

SF'S "JIHADI JEEPSTER" AND THE MSM: LIES OF OMISSION EQUAL DENIAL AND MULTI-CULTI PROPAGANDA FROM THE LEFT

To CNN, the Muslim who ran down 14 people in frisco is -- get this -- an "SUV driver"! They don't give his full name, Omeed Azis Popal, since that makes it obvious he's a Muslim. They call him Omeed A. Popal.

Here's AP:

One killed in SUV hit-and-run spree -- POSTED: 10:56 p.m. EDT, August 29, 2006

SAN FRANCISCO, California (AP) -- The driver of a sport utility vehicle plowed across sidewalks and crosswalks throughout the city Tuesday, killing one man and injuring at least 13 people in a series of attacks on pedestrians and motorists, police said.

Here's another headline:

"SUV Takes Aim At San Fran Pedestrians"

That is taken from the WCCO TV website, it is in Minneapolis. Notice the typical Left-wing distortions of reality.

It's as if the car ran by itself. "SUV takes aim" -- not the driver. (Just as they demonize guns; they want gun control, when what we need is not to control guns, but to control criminals!)

Then of course, they frame the attack as "SUV" vs "pedestrians" -- gas guzzler vs gas savers, when in reality the news was "Muslim attacks Americans in Jewish neighborhood".

THESE THREE PROSECUTORS SHOULD BE PROSECUTED FOR MALPRACTICE

NIFONG. LACY. FITZGERALD. ALL THREE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AND INDICTED FOR MALPRACTICE AND MALFEASANCE. REMEMBER: INCOMPETENCE IS NO DEFENSE. AND THEY SHOULD BE TRIED IN PARKER'S COURT. HEH.

MORE PROOF THAT ISLAM IS NOW WHAT ISLAM HAS ALWAYS BEEN: A JINGOISTIC, TERRORISTIC, AND XENOPHOBIC MARTIAL CREED BENT ON GLOBAL HEGEMONY

I wrote this on last Sunday (about the coerced conversions):

"this is how and why islam spread from the Arabian peninsula through Christian north Africa and the Christian Middle East, and then through south Asia to Asia: By ruthless use of horrific violence and terror. Without it there would be no islam.

And I wrote this yesterday:

"there has been not a single word of protest, not one single solitary whispered word. Even though the the koran forbids coerced conversions - at least in one quote:

Islam expressly forbids forced or coerced conversion, as demonstrated by this quote from the Quran: “There is no compulsion in religion” (Surah 2: 256).

So, if Muslims hold the koran sacred, then why aren't any Muslims anywhere protesting this sacreligious act or even speaking out against it, and demanding the perps get punished?

And while I'm asking, why haven't they protested the beheadings, or the mosques blown up by "radicals/militants/extremists"?

Because islam is not a religion; it is a martial creed which has created generations of terrorists and battered-people who tacitly, fearfully support terrorism.

This is not news; it is history - 1400 year old history. This is how they made Christian north Africa and the Judeo-Christian Middle East into a caliphateto begin with!

Terror, kidnapping, forced conversion and war: they are the SOP of the ROP.

Today - via LGF - Dr. Andrew Bostom agrees:

Forced conversions in Islamic history are not exceptional—they have been the norm, across three continents—Asia, Africa, and Europe—for over 13 centuries. Orders for conversion were decreed under all the early Islamic dynasties—Umayyads, Abbasids, Fatimids, and Mamluks. Additional extensive examples of forced conversion were recorded under both Seljuk and Ottoman Turkish rule (the latter until its collapse in the 20th century). But the list is much longer yet. The Shi’ite Safavid and Qajar dynasties of Persia/Iran. During the jihad ravages on the Indian subcontinent, beginning with the early 11th century campaigns of Mahmud of Ghazni, and recurring under the Delhi Sultanate, and Moghul dynasty until the collapse of Muslim suzerainty in the 18th century following the British conquest of India.

Moreover, during jihad—even the jihad campaigns of the 20th century [i.e., the jihad genocide of the Armenians during World War I, the Moplah jihad in Southern India [1921], the jihad against the Assyrians of Iraq in the early 1930s, the jihads against the Chinese of Indonesia and the Christian Ibo of southern Nigeria in the 1960s, and the jihad against the Christians and Animists of the southern Sudan from 1983 to 2001], the (dubious) concept of “no compulsion” (Koran 2:256; which was cited with tragic irony during the Fox reporters “confessional”!), has always been meaningless.

A consistent practice was to enslave populations taken from outside the boundaries of the “Dar al Islam,” where Islamic rule (and Law) prevailed. Inevitably fresh non-Muslim slaves, including children, were Islamized within a generation, their ethnic and linguistic origins erased. Two enduring and important mechanisms for this conversion were concubinage and the slave militias—practices still evident in the contemporary jihad waged by the Arab Muslim Khartoum government against the southern Sudanese Christians and Animists. And Julia Duin reported in early 2002 that murderous jihad terror campaigns—including, prominently, forced conversions to Islam —continued to be waged against the Christians of Indonesia’s Moluccan Islands.

Given this enduring and ignoble historical legacy, it remains to be seen whether contemporary Muslim religious authorities—particularly those within Palestinian society, and affiliated with Hamas or Fatah—will condemn publicly the forced conversions of the kidnapped Fox reporters.

Well, Bostom is right, and you read it here first. That is, unless you read world HISTORY! Then you knew it all along...

MORE PROOF: HIZBALLAH LOST

SMITH/WEEKLY STANDARD:

While one Lebanese station was interviewing Nasrallah last night, another was talking to former Syrian Vice-President Abd-el Halim Khaddam. In December, the London exile spoke out against the current Syrian leadership--until Saudi Arabia pulled the plug on Khaddam by forbidding Saudi-owned media from interviewing him. The Saudi kingdom owns most major Middle Eastern press outlets and, as one manager of a well-known Saudi-owned media concern told me at the time, Riyadh is not in the business of bringing down other Arab regimes. Perhaps that sentiment has changed--Khaddam appeared on a station that represents Saudi interests in Lebanon.

Khaddam spent much of his TV time talking about the ongoing U.N. investigation into the murder of former Lebanese Premier Rafiq al-Hariri. Whether Khaddam's report is accurate or not, the leader of what is effectively the Damascus government-in-exile says that the top regime people are all implicated, including the president.

The Hezbollah-Iran-Syria axis has had a much tougher month than most people have been willing to let on.

Hizballah and Hamas and the Baath Party and the Iranian mullahs are all worse off now than before the recent war. Nevertheless they remain formidable foes - maybe even a little more dangerous than before because they are more cornered than before.

They wll remain a threat until they are utterly defeated. Faster please!

BIRDS OF A FEATHER - part 16: anti-Semitism and post-modern Leftism

Post-modern Leftism is the second home of anti-Semitism; the primary home is jihadism. The irrational hatred of JOOOOOOZE is another basic affinity between the Left and jihadism and another reason why they're are a Fifth Column for the enemy.

FINALLY: USA AND IRAQI "NATIONALS" GOING AFTER SADR'S BRIGADES

NYTIMES:

At least 20 gunmen and 8 civilians were killed Monday when the Iraqi Army battled fiercely for hours with members of a militia loyal to Moktada al-Sadr, the radical Shiite cleric, in Diwaniya, Iraqi officials said.

The violence, which one Iraqi general said included militiamen executing Iraqi soldiers in a public square, amounted to the most brazen clashes in recent memory between Iraqi government forces and Mr. Sadr’s militia.

After weeks of rising tensions and skirmishes between elements of the militia and American-led forces, it could increase pressure on Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, a conservative Shiite, to find a way — political or military or both — to rein in Mr. Sadr’s powerful militia. ... The Mahdi Army and the military wing of the Supreme Council, the Badr Brigade, have fought pitched battles several times in Baghdad and the south in recent years.

... Ambassador Khalilzad said in an interview this month that Iran had been inciting splinter groups of the Mahdi Army to step up attacks against American-led forces in retaliation for the Israeli attacks in Lebanon. General Caldwell said days later that some militia elements had been training in Iran and had received weapons from groups or individuals in Iran, though it was unclear whether the Iranian government was involved.

HERE'S A QUOTE I LOVE; (why don't more Muslims must speak out like this!?):

Defense Minister Abdul Qader Mohammed Jasim, at a joint news conference with the British defense secretary, said the Iraqi government would do everything it could to make the country safe. "There are criminals and killers — we know the scum who wear the mask of the jihad and religion,” Mr. Jasim said. “They used to kill people as criminals and now they kill them under the cover of jihad.”

WE COULDA/SHOULDA "NEUTRALIZED" SADR IN 2004. Now two years later, we're still battling him. That's what half-asssery always gets you. FDR and Truman never fell into that loser's game. More HERE and HERE.

BTW: this is more proof that the real key to peace is neutralizing Iran. And that will be a lot easier before they get nukes.

GONZALES SHOULD APPOINT A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR TO INVESTIGATE FITZGERALD

Levin/NRO:

Fitzgerald's investigation is a sham. That's right, a sham. He knew several things early on: 1. Armitage was the original source; 2. disclosing Plame's identity was not a crime; and 3. the investigation was launched due to political pressure from Capitol Hill...

But to what end? ... The fact is that there was never an underlying crime, period. Yet, as I wrote at the time, many of Fitzgerald's comments at his press conference, at which he announced the Libby indictment, were wildly deceiving. The indictment had nothing to do with any underlying crime. This entire enterprise is disgraceful, from beginning to end.

Fitzgerald should be investigated for abusing his office. And Gonzales should appoint a special prosecutor to investigate him. Heh. Seriously: There should've never been an investigation. (MORE HERE. AUDIO HERE.)

DID FDR GIVE A VISA TO GOERING DURING WW2?!

THEN WHY IS BUSH LETTING KHATAMI INTO THE USA!? ARE WE AT WAR, OR ARE WE NOT?

DAS VOLK : UMMAH :: REICH : CALIPHATE :: FUHRER : CALIPH :: NAZISM : ISLAMISM

The historical ties between islam and Nazism were not merely matters of convenience or a common agenda. The two hideous ideologies are very much alike. (More here.)

MUSLIMS WORLDWIDE STAGE PROTESTS OVER KIDNAPPING AND FORCED CONVERSION

"MUSLIMS WORLDWIDE STAGE PROTESTS OVER KIDNAPPING AND FORCED CONVERSION." NOT. In fact, there has been not a single word of protest, not one single solitary whispered word. Even though the the koran forbids coerced conversions - at least in one quote:

Islam expressly forbids forced or coerced conversion, as demonstrated by this quote from the Quran: “There is no compulsion in religion” (Surah 2: 256).

So, if Muslims hold the koran sacred, then why aren't any Muslims anywhere protesting this sacreligious act or even speaking out against it, and demanding the perps get punished?

And while I'm asking, why haven't they protested the beheadings, or the mosques blown up by "radicals/militants/extremists"?

Because islam is not a religion; it is a martial creed which has created generations of terrorists and battered-people who tacitly, fearfully support terrorism. This is not news; it is history - 1400 year old history. This is how they made Christian north Africa and the Judeo-Christian Middle East into a caliphateto begin with!

Terror, kidnapping, foreced conversion and war: they are the SOP of the ROP.

The fact is that this very same martial creed supports honor-killing and wife-beating of its own mothers and daughters and sisters. And the men raised under this creed are brutal animals.

Until this creed is effectively neutralized, WW3 is gong to continue. And if the mullah-tyrants of Iran go nuclear before they are defeated, it's going to get real messy - as in genocidal on a horrific scale.

Ultimately the martial creed must change, or the one billion adherents have to be liberated from it. This might take many many decades. And Iran will have nukes in months or years. Which means we may have no choice but to preemptively neutralize their arsenal - or potential arsenal - before we have neutralized their evil creed.

This was true in WW2. Military defeat was a precondition for denazification.

FDR and Truman understood this and fought the enemy with everything we had. Where are FDR and Truman now that we really need them?

LATEST KIDNAPPING EXPOSES TO WORLD WHAT ISLAM REALLY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT

PRAIRIE PUNDIT:

Washington Post:

Two Fox Television journalists held for 13 days in the Gaza Strip were released Sunday after they were shown on a videotape saying they converted to Islam.

The two journalists, American Steve Centanni, 60, and New Zealand cameraman Olaf Wiig, 36, "have liberated themselves" by converting to Islam, according to the statement accompanying a videotape from a group calling itself the Holy Jihad Brigades.

Prairie Pundit:

The Fox News deal reminds you of the hideous truth about the people we are fighting and what they really want. Is there any other religion in the world that uses kidnapping to get "converts"? It just reminds us that making people say ridiculous things is what these thugs did with Jill Carroll and others. They are no better than the Nork brainwashers who did similar things with captives.

This is EXACTLY right, and this is how and why islam spread from the Arabian peninsula through Christian north Africa and the Christian Middle East, and then through south Asia to Asia: By ruthless use of horrific violence and terror. Without it there would be no islam.

Islam is not a true religion; it is at its very core a martial creed which dehumanizes almost all poisoned by it. Not all become jihadothugs, but anyone anywhere raised within its sociopathic tenets could become a jihadoterrorist - and millions do, all over the world.

It's a sociopathic ideology whose systemic misogyny dehumanizes women and turns many of their families into militant madrassas and trains their children to become genocidal maniacs and serial murderers.

REMEMBER: WW2 did not end until we destroyed Germany and the Nazi Party and de-nazified Germany. The same will be true of the GWOT - and this is why we are in the midst of a long and terrible war. But we are much closer to the end of that war than the beginning: this long war began 1400 years ago; it will probably end within the next decade or two.

The effect of out victory will not just be that the West is liberated from the threat of forced conversion (of what Centanni and Wiig just went through) and dhimmitude, but that all people everywhere will be liberated from this threat - ESPECIALLY the one billion humans currently trapped in the spell of this hideous ideology, this murderous misanthropic mess called islam.

A victory for the West in the GWOT is a victory for all humanity.
