Bin Laden's Failure: How Islamists and the U.S. Ended His War With the West

[Crabtownboy]

Right wingers will never give Obama any credit for this.........read on.............

If Osama bin Laden were still alive today, one year after he was killed in a U.S. raid, he would hardly recognize the world he knew. Nor would he see the supposed "clash of civilizations" that he tried so hard to foment over two decades of violent jihad. Instead bin Laden would see Islamist radicals on the election stump in emerging governments in Egypt and Tunisia, pledging cooperation with senior U.S. officials, and even meeting with a few neocons in Washington. He would see a U.S. administration that, having killed most of bin Laden's confederates, is now ready to move into a post-al-Qaida era and engage with Islamist politicians as long as they renounce violence and terrorism. He would see Islamist parties that are passionately pursuing power and vested interests within their own countries (Egypt, Libya, Tunisia) rather than against bin Laden's old "far enemy," the United States.

More DNC talking points.

Only Crabby and Obama would see Islamic radicals in seats of political power around the world as a good thing.

Aside from not understanding the point of the article, you are implying that you wish the guy was still alive, or did you ever hear he was killed?

Perhaps if you read less into my posts and actually read what I was writting you would have a better understanding of their meaning.

It's great that Bin Laden was killed.

It is not great though that Islamic radicals are assuming seats of political power.

Islamic radicals in charge of governments is not a solution to the problem of Islamic world terror is it?

The article is pure spin. We have a slightly different problem, one in which Islamic terrorists are being afforded the status of legit players in the world. - but it is still a problem none the less.

Killing Bin Laden was necessary and just but it was not the end of the terror problem.

BTW the article which you seem to agree with implys that killing Bin Laden was unnecessary since the world of terror was evolving so as to make him less relevant anyway.

Is that something that you agree with?

The islamists have won anyway. Look what you have to go through to get on a plane. Look how we have bent over backwards to be PC since 09/11. Look how many muslims our State Dept keeps dumping here in America and look at the "calls to prayer" going on in Detroit. Look at how communities and institutions have made concessions for islam. Look at all of the mosques that have sprung up (thanks to Saudi donations) all over America and look how many companies have had to cowtow to allow muslims to pray while on the job, etc. Look how much food is being processed the halal way (Butterball turkeys for Thanksgiving, for instance). Look how we have TV shows like American Muslim. Just look around at how America has changed since 09/11 and you will see that the islamists have won. And look at the Obama administration's policies towards muslim countries and Obama's speech he gave in Cairo announcing to them he is a muslim and speaking perfect arabic. The islamists have won. Our freedoms and our way of life is gradually being destroyed, but now is on the fast track to destruction under obama and his ilk. The goal is to make our nation sharia and that is what obamacare is all about. Muslims will be exempt under obamacare due to religious exemption (along with Amish). The rest of us kafir will pay. They have won. :tear:
