Did I forget to mention that they had no pre-war intelligence? Nil. Nada. Nihilists one and all...

Today's Wanton Ways

Z on the defensive finally? That -- at last -- the wanton destruction of "innocent" PALESTINIANS causes long, long overdue self examination tells you all you need to know. In fact, I think it's SO long overdue that it will soon be forgotten due to the burden of sustaining its novelty.

[ wanton: behave extremely cruelly and brutally ]

And Over To Roger

"I'm beginning to hope the traditionalists who think this is all about poverty and racism and not at all about rolling history back to 1492 are right. Because if they're wrong, this is not going to be over for a long time. The problem with the traditionalist's argument is that it is a tad racist in and of itself. It assumes these "youths" are ignorant of the demographics of the country they are living in and of the rudimentary history of Christianity and Islam. As they say in France, je m'en doute."

Apocalypse Warren In Due Course

"Soon, the average age in Europe will be beyond childbearing. Among non-Muslim Europeans, i[t] probably already is. We can no longer dream of a recovery. Europe has leapt. New immigrants are taking possession of the continent, transforming it, as in the "Dark Ages". Rome will be sacked again, in due course."

Today's Residue Update

"Yes, the student behavior was somewhat offensive. But the black gangsta identity—the glorification of drug-dealing, crime, and serial sexual conquest, coupled with a blithe rationalization of fatherless black children—is what really deserves condemnation and concern, and not just in black barbershops, churches, and homes. Bill Cosby excepted, however, few have raised public concerns when blacks outfit themselves in the sartorial and ethical drapery of common street hustlers. Many young blacks walk around saying n**** this, n**** that, but then take offense when others borrow the attendant stylistic signifiers, which our culture foolishly condones and celebrates as black authenticity."

Amnesia, Part 4,984,765

You may think that Bush is Hitler. You believe it with every fiber of your body. And you are passionately in favor of gun control. That would make you an amnesiac at best...

BusHitler has some comments on amnesia today as well. Finally.
"Complexity kills."
"I don't know, but it's surprising the extent to which people who routinely make the Halliburton and chickenhawk slurs seem to require much greater delicacy from others."

VDH Again...

"Second, for all our pride, we are not like the once-powerful — and scary — Soviet Union, so Latin Americans and Europeans know that there is rarely any price to be paid for attacking the United States. Slandering us is a win-win situation — cowardly and expedient to be sure, but hardly like indicting bin Laden or embargoing Iranian oil. No Argentinean is furious over Chinese unfair trade; no Spaniard protests Russian oilmen for spoiling the arctic. And worse still, we know why."
MSMemory Hole? Or just ADHD?: "Who could that be? Don't count on the Times or the Post to find that out for you."
France on fire...
We’re Dumber than Bush!”?

So The NYeT

covers W's speech (finally) going after the 5th column Dhimmis today and here's how it ends:

In my opinion, that's pretty much all you need to know...
"Or is Scheuer the biggest liar since Joe Wilson?"

What If They Held A War And Only One Side Came?

"But having said that, I do think that what's pathetic about all Western countries, including the United States, including France, including Canada, and a lot of other countries, is that they make these sort of high school sophist arguments about terrorism, as if it's some sort of theoretical debate. It's not. We're dealing with a very difficult situation here. And if you accord to terrorists all the rights of somebody who gets arrested for holding up a liquor store in Des Moines, you are going to lose to the terrorists, because when you accord them the full rights of somebody who is a criminal, you make it impossible to prosecute this as a war, which is what it is.

Sick French Accidents

"Now, Francois Bayrou, leader of the centrist group that with the neo-Gaullists, makes up Jacques Chirac's presidential majority, describes France as a "sick state, a state swollen into impotence" with "a democracy that doesn't work well." This means, he said, that "reality never enters political discussions."

But asked why the riots were happening here, since France's neighbors seemed to be escaping its misery, Bayrou offered a general response that, like the answers of the other politicians he condemned, hid from the specifics of both responsibilities and solution:

"As long as French democracy doesn't change," Bayrou said, "these accidents are going to continue." He left it there. "
Unless it's Iraq, of course...
The next worst. But close enough it doesn't matter methinks...

Warren Again

"It is against this background reality, that the riots happening today across France must be considered. They are a turning point, not only in France but all Europe. For the “moral and demographic vacuum” I mentioned above, is not in France alone. The same cultural deathwish prevails in Spain, Italy, Germany, the Low Countries, Britain, Scandinavia -- and Canada, by the way. It is called “multiculturalism” in this generation, but in another generation will be called something else."

RTWT. It's short but action packed.

UPDATE: And check out QandO's commentary on Warren: "The French role? Pay for this time they need to organize and they will pretend, for a while, that the French are still in charge. And the French, if history is any indicator, are particularly adept at this role."

The Heart Of Nihilism ... Is Nothing

"Unless the invertebrates in charge can grow spines, France seems poised to become what Spain was before Ferdinand and Isabella, a patchwork of principalities where Moors ruled some communities, Christians others, with constant tension between them. It seems inconceivable that a civilized Western nation would bargain away to a handful of thugs its democratic principles and sovereignty over much of its territory.

But the Islamists may well succeed. For though what the Islamists believe in is vile and reactionary, it is something. The French believe in nothing."

Wow -- Blankley Is The Oracle Of Apocalypse

"As Paul Belien, writing from Brussels this weekend observed: "It is not anger that is driving the insurgents to take it out on the secularized welfare states of Old Europe. It is hatred. Hatred caused not by injustice suffered, but stemming from a sense of superiority. The "youths" do not blame the French, they despise them."

The Ambiguous Apocalypse

"Meanwhile, the Union for Islamic Organizations of France, which has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, has issued a fatwa declaring: “It is formally forbidden to any Muslim seeking divine grace and satisfaction to participate in any action that blindly hits private or public property or could constitute an attack on someone’s life.” There is a strange ambiguity in this, recalling that of the CAIR-backed American fatwa condemning attacks on innocent civilians without defining “innocent”: what constitutes attacking “blindly”? Is a focused, targeted attack somehow acceptable?

The time for such ambiguity is long past. And indeed, lines are being drawn everywhere."

"One wonders why they have suddenly developed amnesia about it now." I don't. I call it the MSMemory Hole...

It looks like the infiltration is working fine.

Demarche Has Today's Eurabian Apocalypse Update

"It's like Baghdad here! It's the Apocalypse!" ...

"These riots may yet be put down without serious loss of life, but they are a glimpse of the future that awaits Europe. The youth who shouted out the phrase that is the title of this piece is sorely mistaken. Baghdad is on its way to recovery- Europe is on the slippery path to suicide by appeasement."
