Road Sassy

Between socialists Obama and Hillary breathing down our necks, and Bush and Condi continuing to empower our enemies while flushing American treasure down the sewer to our south - our grand children’s future is looking brighter and brighter……

At the prodding of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Washington is working to “create educational and economic opportunities” for Palestinians…Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pushed for the U.S.-Palestinian Partnership…following the U.S.-sponsored Israeli-Palestinian peace conference at Annapolis, Maryland.

[...]

“It brings together the private sector, civic leaders, the United States government and the Palestinian Authority to create educational and economic opportunities for Palestinian youth, furthering progress toward peace between Israelis and Palestinians…”

Gee, seems to me that this might conflict with the typical Palestinian “youth’s” favored pursuits. It’s rather difficult to provide “economic opportunities” for people whose highest ambition is murdering Jews.

The mother of Muhammad Faisal Saksak, the 21-year-old suicide bomber who carried out Monday’s attack in Eilat, said she was aware of her son’s plan to blow himself up and that she had wished him “good luck.”

Dozens of Palestinians, chanting slogans against Israel and the US, converged on the family’s home to “congratulate” them on the success of the attack.

And Lord knows we need to be equitable when handing out the knives which will eventually cut America’s throat. While Condi is busy abetting the enemy in the Middle-east, Bush is selling us out south of the border.

Fence? What fence, you freaking bigot!

The plan is called “The Merida Initiative.” Seems that the White House has had this plan in the works for nearly a year with little congressional input on either side of the border.

We can’t finish our own border fence, properly supply our immigration agents and border patrol with all the equipment and resources they need, or get our house in order. Yet, the Bush administration wants to fork over $1.4 billion to Mexico and Central America–with much of it going into the hands of corrupt law enforcement officials and government bureaucrats who have worked tirelessly to undermine our immigration laws. The funding is tucked into the 2008 supplemental budget.

Oddly enough, Mexico seems to be doing a bit better these days, the peso is up and newly elected President Calderon is feeling optimistic enough to throw 25 billion into infrastructure.

Gee, infrastructure…weren’t Americans a tad concerned about infrastructure -bridges, dams - that sort of thing? But that’s right, Americans don’t count for much in Bush’s world. Imagine how little we will count for post election.

Oh by the way, Calderon will be visiting “Mexican communities in Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and New York in an effort to chart a more independent course for Mexico’s economy.”

Really? I take it that they are not US citizens? Perhaps, one of you world savvy readers can explain to this rube why it is necessary to seek counsel from “mexican” enclaves in America? Perhaps he wants discuss with them how to direct this coming windfall back to Mexico.

Oh well, it’s only money, and hell, by the time our grand kids are old enough to work, there won’t be anything but government jobs left. Maybe by then the Ministers of Mental Health will be issuing soma, and, along with our borders, all memories of a free and prosperous America will have been erased.

But it is the Bush Doctrine that has been shelved. In its hunger for Arab support against Iran — and perhaps in a quest for a historic “legacy” — the administration has dropped “with us or with the terrorists.” It is hellbent instead on bestowing statehood upon a regime that stands unequivocally with the terrorists. “Frankly, it’s time for the establishment of a Palestinian state,” Rice says.

When George W. Bush succeeded Bill Clinton, he was determined not to replicate his predecessor’s blunders in the Middle East, a determination that intensified after 9/11. Yet he too has succumbed to the messianism that leads US presidents to imagine they can resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict. Clinton ’s legacy in this arena was the second intifada, which drenched the region in blood. To what fresh hell will Bush’s diplomacy lead?

Bush’s ignorance about the true nature of Islam has put all of the West in harms way.

Bush makes some very glib, naive (very Western) assumptions that are quite false: “I believe, deep in the soul of every man, woman, and child on the face of this Earth is the desire to live in a free society. And I also believe free societies yield peace. And, therefore, this notion of two states living side by side in peace is based upon the universality of freedom, and if given a chance, the Palestinian people will work for freedom.”

This very commonly held assumption ignores religion and ideology and their power. The Islamic vision is not one of freedom — which is, in a way, actually anathema to religious Muslims. Islam is about submission. (Islam in Arabic means surrender!) And radical Islam is about imposing that submission. Palestinians passionately committed to their Islam and the word of Muhammad are more concerned with driving out the Jews and controlling the land they believe is theirs than with instituting “freedoms.”

To establish policy without this essential understanding is to miss the boat entirely and to generate an unstable situation.

Arlene from Israel

Dear George and Condi,

Looks like stabbing Israel in the back is really working out well for you. And all of the billions in American treasure that you have freely rendered to the “Palestinians” are, obviously, so very much appreciated.

Yeah, can’t wait for the next Annapolis. It’s always such a heartwarming experience to watch America being raped by the feral friends that you two damnable fools drag in.

Burning American flags, thousands of Palestinian protesters took to the Gaza streets this afternoon to protest against the visit of U.S. President George W. Bush. The protesters, amassed by Hamas, brandished banners which defined Bush “assassin and vampire”. During the rally puppets of the American president were raised and then burned. Israeli flags were also burned. Eye witnesses reported at least 20,000 participants in the rally, promoted for several days also through appeals launched in the mosques. “Bush is not welcome,” a Hamas representative repeated from the platform. Members of the extremist movement pointed out that since his arrival at the Ben Gurion airport of Tel Aviv today, President Bush “made sure in his speech encouraging and backing the rights of Israel, without saying a single word on the Palestinian victims and on our rights”. Bush will meet tomorrow in Ramallah in the West Bank Palestinian National Authority President Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), who is in open conflict with Hamas, whereas he will not visit the Gaza Strip.

I am getting damn tired of Washington propping up Islam, as they continue to do in their push for an independent Kosovo.

Fjordman makes the case for Kosovo remaining with Serbia.

President Bush declared a “war on terror” after the Jihadist attacks on the United States in 2001. Six years later, all he has achieved is bleeding American tax payers financially and American soldiers literally while overseeing the eradication of non-Muslim communities in Iraq. Now his administration supports independence for terrorist-sponsoring Muslims in the Balkans and in the Palestinian territories. Unless he does something very substantial in 2008, George W. Bush risks being remembered as one of the worst presidents in American history.

The more I read, the less I buy of the official account of the “Balkan wars”. If Serbs “slaughtered” Muslims, it may well be they had sufficient cause. I no more believe the media’s caricature of blood thirsty Serbs than I buy their twisted portrayals of Israel. One does not understand the Balkans unless one takes into account the history of oppression that Serbs have long suffered under Muslim rule.

As Hugh Fitzgerald says, “One must keep in mind both the way in which some atrocities ascribed to Serbs were exaggerated, while the atrocities inflicted on them were minimized or ignored altogether. But what was most disturbing was that there was no context to anything: nothing about the centuries of Muslim rule. Had such a history been discussed early on, Western governments might have understood and attempted to assuage the deep fears evoked by the Bosnian Muslim leader, Izetbegovic, when he wrote that he intended to create a Muslim state in Bosnia and impose the Sharia not merely there, but everywhere that Muslims had once ruled in the Balkans. Had the Western world shown the slightest intelligent sympathy or understanding of what that set off in the imagination of many Serbs (and elsewhere, among the Christians in the Balkans and in Greece), there might never have been such a violent Serbian reaction, and someone like Milosevic might never have obtained power.” Yet, “In all of Europe, only a few French journalists and the Austrian writer Peter Handke tried to explain Serbian fears and Serbian history.”

[...]

Trifkovic cites James Jatras as claiming that Washington’s irrational Balkan policy is to a significant extent the product of the ignorant and misguided notion that the U.S. can curry favor in the Islamic world by sacrificing Kosovo’s Christians to the violent Jihad-terror elements that dominate Kosovo’s Albanian leadership: “Such an unfounded notion shows a breathtaking incomprehension of the worldwide jihadist threat.

I find this particularly disturbing.

Jevtic notes that “the fact that since the arrival of NATO to Kosovo over 150 Christian churches have been destroyed and some 400 mosques have been built, or are under construction, is for the Muslims a proof that if there is a faith which is supported by true God — it is Islam! Because, why would the Christian God, why would Jesus, permit the destruction of churches, where He, Jesus, is glorified? Why would He, at the same time, permit the construction of mosques, where His existence as God is denied? Why would He permit it, moreover, in the presence of men who bear arms and who claim to be Christians?

For secularists, the beliefs of a religious people are laughable. But it is just the left’s disdain for gods that will give Islam it’s advantage. Islamists will indeed believe their”allah” to be triumphant as they watch the west so easily abandon god and treasure without a fight. More so, it gives Islamists appetite to continue dissolving the West as the umma appears ever more likely with every western capitulation.

…writer Julia Gorin has warned, “An independent Kosovo will serve as a nod to secessionists worldwide,” and “history will show what no one cares to understand: the current world war began officially in Yugoslavia.”

Granting Jihadist Muslims independence in Kosovo after they have conducted ethnic cleansing of non-Muslims will establish an extremely dangerous precedent.

But the usual hyenas in our Congress somehow finds the establishment of a Muslim state in Europe cause for celebration. Which Arab pocket is Democrat Tom Lantos in?

The House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Lantos (D-CA) called upon “jihadists of all color and hue” to see Kosovo as “yet another example that the United States leads the way for the creation of a predominantly Muslim country in the very heart of Europe.”

The more I dig into Kosovo, the more I am reminded of Israel.

As with Israel, the current administration has betrayed the West, it’s allies and the American people. Read the entire piece.

I support Israel. Period. End of story. But I’d make a lousy Jew. I don’t know quite how to describe this ongoing, haunting sense of loss that I have come to find that I live with everyday. But I imagine that an Israel Jew knows loss intimately, and yet, they fight on. I, I stand here benumbed, horrified at the seemingly inexorable erasure of America. I don’t even begin to know how to live with the knowledge that all that I cherish in my heart, all that I cherished for my children’s future is at grave risk. Yet, a Jew will have the courage to raise his family in Israel while her borders are besieged and a ravenous enemy chants for the death of his children.

Before 911, I never understood that so much of the faith that I have had in my ability to chart my own course in life, to win and lose on my own terms, to grab for brass rings, to envision a bright and shining future for my children….all those dreams that gave me succor were premised on a free and strong America. Yep, a Yankee Doodle Dandy, Founding fathers, Fourth of July America…. I have believed in all of it, even when as a callow youth, I scorned it. Yet, even then, I believed the surety of America’s promise would continue to be there for me and my children, just as surely as the mantle wraps the earth to it’s core. I never once imagined that America would fail to safely house our future. I never allowed that it was possible for America to be suborned so handily from within and betrayed so readily by her leaders.

But a Jew must be used to all of that. The horror that I feel as I understand that Bush has no intention of protecting our borders is nothing compared to what an Israeli Jew must feel as Israel is repeatedly raped by her leaders and supposed allies. Imagine our government allowing Mexico to lay claim to portions of the Southwest. That is the only way I can imagine the sense of violation a Jew must feel as they watch the machinations of Bush and Rice and Olmert.

The following summation of Annapolis, sadly, rings true.

Recently, I suggested that the US Administration reached a separate peace agreement with Iran. According to the US-Iran peace deal, Iran winded down its support for Iraqi guerrillas, and the US guaranteed it won’t bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities. Iran made good on its promise, and allowed the US Administration a tactical PR victory of reduced casualties in Iraq. The US Administration waited with fulfilling its part of the game until after the Annapolis peace show. Refusing to attack Iran over its nuclear program earlier would have likely derailed Israeli commitment to the Annapolis peace parley.
