The recent spate of jihadist attacks in Morocco and Algeria make me wonder:
Since Democrats won back Congress they have been on a non-stop mission of APPEASEMENT: demanding withdrawal by an arbitrary deadline; holding up spending to support the troops; and going out of their way to meet with murderous tyrants - like Assad.
I think that there have been two segments of the world's public who have been pleased by these developments: the Left and the jihadists.
And I think that the jihadists - principally al Qaeda - have LEARNED a great deal from this. They have learned that all it takes to get the USA to retreat - (and thereby the West, or Free World, or modern world, if you will, to retreat as well) - is sustain a relatively low-level terrorist war in the capital of a targeted nation. This is all they have been able to do in Iraq.
Though the terror is not tactically effective - (they have gained no territory and taken much bigger losses than they've been able to inflict) - apparently, (at least with Democrats in control), it's all they have to do to get us to RETREAT and cede them territory.
The recent round of Democrat Assad-licking and defeatist/retreatist policy-making is a direct result of a lack of resolve on OUR SIDE. The enemy sees this. The enemy must conclude from this that now - with this strategy - they can and will eventually they will wear us down... and WIN. And make no mistake about it: the enemy has the resolve: they've been at this for A THOUSAND YEARS. They are ready, willing and able to keep it up for another few decades.
Democrats are not. Which means if they EVER get control of the White House and Congress: WE LOSE. And the enemy knows this. And they believe that all they have to do is keep killing people in the big cities of targeted nations - killing them in seemingly incessant and ghoulish attacks.
They did it recently in Bangkok, too... (REMEMBER NEW YEARS EVE THERE?!). And they're still trying to do it in Israel - Tel Aviv, especially.
And they recently announced a campaign to terrify Pakistanis by starting a suicide-bombing campaign in Islamabad! (Islamabad is the capitol of Pakistan.)
I wouldn't be surprised to see several coordinated/multi-bomb attacks - in the coming weeks and months - in major and/or capitol cities: from Algiers to Cairo to Beirut to Bangkok to Manila to London to Paris to Moscow. Time will tell.
ONLY ONE THING IS FOR SURE: The more the Left appeases the enemy, the more the enemy will attack us.
There is only one road to peace: the road to victory.
We're right now at a fork in that road. If we turn Left - with the Democrats, then we lose. If we keep going and bear right - and stay with the GOP - then we can win.
Achieving victory REQUIRES we that defeat the Left - THE DEMOCRATS - right here at home... FIRST.

DOES AL QAEDA HAVE A NEW STRATEGY - ONE DEVELOPED IN IRAQ? IN BAGHDAD?HERE'S WHY:

UPDATE: TIME MAGAZINE: The Algeria Bombings: Target Europe? -
"Until today," says a French counterterrorism official, AQIM's "capacity and ambition to foment terror seemed as limited in Europe as it was modest in Algeria — at least compared to the terrorist violence there before. This attack changes that view. We've always considered the group a threat, but now it's one with a terrible record."STAY TUNED....
... The French are cognizant that a resurgent jihad in Algiers means greater danger to French interests, citizens and territory. Indeed, since December 2006, AQIM had expanded attacks from small local targets to international interests in Algeria, including the December machine-gunning of a bus full of Halliburton employees and the March bombing of vehicles transporting Russian oil industry workers. Says the French official, "If the particulars of this attack are almost surely internally Algerian, the wider consequences just as logically apply to us. We're aware of that risk and have been anticipating it. But as today shows, you can never anticipate enough."
