Michael Moore's Minutemen Nazis

Great piece by Wretchard on the Fallujan Sunni Nazis. And a nice comment to put it in perspective:

This is what you get when the enemy is allowed to write the news for you. According to Joseph Goebbels, Hitler was a thoughtful genius who loved dogs. In another not so coincidental bit of news, Hadid is the brother of the head of al-Jazeera in Iraq. And some wondered why al-Jazeera always seemed to be on the scene of suicide bombings.

From memri.org:
ONE OF ZARQAWI’S KEY AIDES WAS OMAR HADID, A MEMBER OF SADDAM’S PRIVATE GUARDS TEN YEARS AGO, WHO WENT TO AFGHANISTAN FOR TRAINING AT AN AL-QA’IDA BASE. OMAR IS THE BROTHER OF HAMID HADID, THE BUREAU CHIEF OF AL-JAZEERA IN IRAQ, WHICH WAS CLOSED THREE MONTHS AGO, BY THE IRAQI GOVERNMENT FOR INCITING VIOLENCE. (AL-SHARQ AL-AWSAT, LONDON, 11/19/04)

Lucky for us there are absolutely no links between Saddam and Osama -- or al Jazeera...

All You Need To Know ...

... about the (Nazi influenced) religion of peace.

Captain's Quarters gives a valiant try to allowing the imams an escape route:

Zarqawi's note clearly shows that Tawhid and Jihad is losing the battle for hearts and minds on the ground, even in the Sunni Triangle. He accuses the ulama for selling out "God's orders" in exchange for their "money and sons". It makes Islam sound like a cult of human sacrifice, and combined with the revolting beheadings that Zarqawi videotapes for the Internet, Muslim scholars may finally be waking up to the bastardization of Islam into a premonotheistic death worship.

Sorry folks but Islam means "submission", not peace. If it meant peace -- or had truly gone thru a meaningful "enlightenment" -- then it would not have the death penalty for apostasy.

Case closed.

No Need To Visit The Grocery For Your Nuts This Thanksgiving

No thanks(giving) for us -- we're victims, thanks(giving) very much.

This is what mental illness looks like. They are so unselfconscious that they can't figure out how pissed this is going to make everyone if it's dragged out.

And let's just imagine if they somehow cheated and hoodwinked their way to win Ohio in an avalanche of fraud. This still means that they've still lost the presidential nationwide vote by north of 3 million votes!

That would be a complete rip-roaring new definition for "selected not elected".

But don't worry, they're not hypocrites -- just victims of their own mental capacity.

And if they keep it up, their "victimization" in this election will seem small compared to two years from now.

Racists against FGM.

MSM (Goebbels) Watch [UPDATED]

Wretchard has the explanation for the weirdly obscure MSM reports of the assasinations of two "anti election" Sunni mullahs in as many days in Iraq:

Attempts to inflame the Kurds may eventually succeed.. The Associated Press reports that two Sunni clerics opposed to elections called by the interim government have been gunned down.

Sheik Ghalib Ali al-Zuhairi was a member of the Association of Muslim Scholars, an influential Sunni clerics group that has called for a boycott of nationwide elections scheduled for Jan. 30. He was shot as he was leaving a mosque in the town of Muqdadiyah and died in the local hospital, said police Col. Raisan Hussein. Muqdadiyah is about 60 miles north of Baghdad. A day earlier, unknown gunmen assassinated anotherprominent Sunni cleric in the northern city of Mosul Sheik Faidh Mohamed Amin al-Faidhi, who was the brother of the group's spokesman. It as unclear whether the two attacks were related.

The former Ba'athists may still have plenty of money, weapons and explosives. But they have plenty of enemies too.

So the MSM is so stupid that they don't notice the possibility that their longed-for civil war may be starting? They can't even figure out when to launch into the BIG LIE properly.

Bro^ther.

Which reminds me. Good old corrupt, partisan Dan Ra^ther finally gave up the forgery racket today. Of course, he still won't admit that the memos are F-O-R-G-E-D -- not that he'd consult with one of the inventors of computer typography to learn any inconvenient facts. I'm sure Mary Mapes thinks that David Hailey will redeem them.

Did I mention that the investigation -- which has not to date contacted either Charles Johnson or Powerline(!) -- is almost certain to be a whitewash revealed on a Friday?

UPDATE: Now why was it that you don't read Stratgy Page again?

November 25, 2004: Over a thousand tons of weapons and munitions have been found in Fallujah. American and Iraqi troops will spend the next several weeks searching some 50,000 buildings and apartments in the city. Although some 1,450 men were arrested during the fighting in Fallujah, 400 have been released. About 60 foreigners were arrested in Fallujah. Dozens have been picked up in other parts of the country, and some may have already been killed while trying to make attacks elsewhere. Today, five more (two Egyptians and three Libyans) were arrested in Basra. They admitted they had come south to get away from the fighting in Fallujah, and to make more attacks, with less risk. All of the fighters possess a blind hatred of the West and a desire to spread their brand of Islam (Sunni) throughout the world. This, alas, includes punishing Moslem heretics like the Shia, who comprise the majority of Iraqis (and Iranians).

November 24, 2004: A force of 5,000 American, British and Iraqi troops began moving through Sunni Arab towns south of Baghdad. More raids in Sunni Arab neighborhoods of Baghdad were being prepared as well. The raids are going after known hostiles and safe houses. Hundreds of men have been arrested, and many tons of arms have been collected.

In the last week, two members of the Sunni Arab Association of Muslim Scholars have been assassinated. The Association has taken the lead in preaching resistance to the new government, elections and any Shia control of the government. This has caused much anger among the Shia majority. While many Shia have expressed this anger by joining the police or army, others have formed death squads, and gone after notorious murderers and hate mongers in the Sunni Arab community. This includes many Sunni Arab preachers. Shia Arabs and Kurds have thousands of names of Sunni Arabs who personally took part in supporting Saddams decades of repression. Nearly all of these Sunni Arabs have fled to the traditionally Sunni areas in, around, and to the west of, Baghdad. But Shia death squads have been going in and killing the murderers and preachers of hate. There are plenty of recent murders and atrocities to motivate these killers. Sunni Arab gangs have taken to setting up roadblocks and stopping Shia Arab or Kurd drivers, and torturing or killing them. The Shia get the most attention, because Sunni Arab clerics preach that Shia are heretics and blasphemers. This is a common attitude among Sunni Arabs, but usually does not result in violence. An exception is the Wahabi form of Sunni Islam. The Wahabi strain is popular in Saudi Arabia, and among al Qaeda members, and has become common among Iraqi Sunni Arabs as well. It's not just revenge minded Shia Arabs who are on to the central role of Sunni Arab clerics; the government has also started to arrest those who are most prominent in preaching hatred against Shia Arabs, and against anyone who denies Sunni Arab domination. The discovery of so many mosques in Fallujah being used as combat headquarters, and full of anti-Shia propaganda, has made it easier to go after the Sunni Arab clergy. The discovery of twenty "torture chambers" in Fallujah horrified many Iraqis, who were already angry at Sunni Arab thugs. Seeing the pictures of the blood splattered rooms where Iraqi and foreign kidnap victims were tortured and killed has made it pretty obvious what kind of people Iraqis are fighting against.

The UN, Arab nations and Iran continue to complain of "excessive force" in fighting against the Sunni Arabs. But to most Iraqis, too much restraint is being used. It all depends on whether you did business with Saddam, or had a friend tortured and killed by him.

Could it be that the MSM has superior skills? Yeah. Right.

Saddam, Yassar and ...

Adolf of course:

Mein Kampf was an influential text among the Arab Ba’ath Party activists. An Arabic edition of Mein Kampf has been published by Bisan publishers in Lebanon. It ranks on the best-seller list among Palestinian Arabs.

But, but, but, but ... you say it's the Jews that are the Nazis! You say you just feel it in your heart!

Now we're getting warmer. Hitler felt a lot of things in his heart too. Read the whole link -- it's short.

And then read THIS. Very, very carefully. Even if you're a liberal and realize that your feelings are getting uneasy...

Imagine That ...

... the "reality based" community cannot bear too much reality.
