Deep Thoughts (Ray Robison Edition)
…one has to wonder if secret plans are being drawn up to lure Usama bin Laden to Iraq where it will be much harder for him to hide. (link)
Actually, one doesn’t.
Added: Thanks to objectivelypro for this:

Isn’t this the plot of an episode from the old “Batman” TV show? Doesn’t the Riddler try to lure Batman and Robin into a situation where their secret identities will be compromised and they won’t be able to hide anymore?
Whoever is in charge of our war anymore, they need to get better writers.

Step one: Steal Bruce Wayne’s girlfriend.
Step two: Lure bin Laden to the Umbrella Factory.
Step Three: ???
Step four: Victory!

This is hilarious. Check out the guy’s source for this groundbreaking story-the-MSM-won’t-tell-you:
Google Earth maps. Allow me to summarize the reasoning that leads the author that this is a victory for the ages just like we had over “the Japs”:
1. The area of operations, according to Google Earth coordinates he punched in, is a valley! Just like Thermopylae!
2. They aren’t talking about it!
3. ???
4. WE’RE KICKIN’ ASS!

From the bio page at Robison’s personal blog (sics throughout):
It always comes back to Vietnam, doesn’t it?
His American Thinker post from today is worth a perusal. He’s found proof of something or other.

Hey, we succeeded in getting al-Qa’eda itself into Iraq, did we not? And after we kill another 62,673 of his top lieutenants — including 4,895 successive #2 leaders — he’ll just have to go and micro-manage the effort himself. You people have no faith in our greatest President ever, and thus should be rendited to Gitmo and waterboarded, after being shot.
And seriously, the old “Batman” TV show is far too dignified an effort to compare with anything, real or imagined, that we’ve done in Iraq.

Al Qaeda is losing in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The fact is now inescapable that they have lost the ability to impose their political will on the West, although this does not mean they still can’t hurt us.
Huh? This idiot says there was a time when al Queda, a bunch of disaffected nutjobs with some money and a bad attitude, had the ability to impose their political will on the west. When exactly was that? And how would they have gone about it?
Because I remember a few attacks, New York, Madrid, London, etc., killed a few thousand people, then some American Fascists imposed their will on the west, aggressively invading and occupying sovereign nations, abrogating the constitution, torturing and imprisoning people with allowing them access to due process or even to their families.
We had a bunch of white guys in suits, terrified so badly by a few successful attacks that they effectively ended a great experiment in democracy.
So fuck you if you want to blame al Quaeda, asshole. We didn’t have to rise to the bait. We could have fought them without the waste and idiocy associated with invading other nations, and we could have just gone on with our lives. It was the quaking, childish fear and cowardice of a few white men, and at least one black woman, who allowed this to happen. And now?
And now it’s really hard not to just look at bush/cheney/rice and their traitorous minions and not just say “suck on it”….

From Robison’s American “Thinker” item (quoting someone else):
In April 2003, Osama surfaced again in Afghanistan after the US invasion of Iraq. He called a meeting in the Pech valley of the northeastern Afghan province Kunar and delivered a hard-hitting speech in which he announced his plans to resist America in Iraq. He said, ‘Get Americans in Iraq before they get us in Afghanistan.’
So, just as Bin Laden stated in in his most recent video, he wants us to stay bogged down occupying Iraq so he’ll remain safe wherever he is. Or, to put it another way: “FIGHT THEM THERE SO WE WON’T HAVE TO FIGHT THEM HERE!!!” We need only mention the title of his web log: “Pointing out the obvious to the oblivious.”

Um, has Mr. Robinson heard that Hamid Karzai is asking to meet with the (still alive) Mullah Omar and offering the Taliban positions in the Afghanistan government?
“The jihadists are hurting” ? I DON’T THINK SO.
And you gotta give him Wingnut Bonus Miles ™ for suggesting, totally without evidence, that overthrowing Saddam’s government somehow cut off funding to the Taliban. I mean, where else would they get the money in a country awash with high-grade opium?
anyway, I second the motion for Yvonne Craig in a purple catsuit. Yowza.

the irony of course, is that the “lure him into Iraq” was basically osama’s M.O. on this whole Clash of Civilizations from way back in the day.
“All that we have mentioned has made it easy for us to provoke and bait this administration. All that we have to do is to send two mujahidin to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al-Qaida, in order to make the generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic, and political losses”

Really this just shows how incompetent the wingnut mind is. Check the date on Bin Laden’s speech. He is three years ahead of these puny wingnut thinkers. It’s actually kind of embarassing that I probably share the same drinking water with people so dense.

So when Bush said he was “really not all that concerned about where” Osama is, it was because he knew that Cheney’s secret plan was working all along, leading up to this moment. Diabolical.

The fact is, liberals cannot ignore reality and the ground boot facts of bias free usage of knowledge. Without correct information, and only with biased information and PC leftist tosh, the liberals, unlike us here in the heartland, are in danger of surrendering our interests to the global jihad. I for one oppose them as a fifth column with all my might, and denounce all liberalism as a cancer within.
