Nation of morons

Filed under: US

Telephone polling of 1002 Americans lays bare the staggering extent of American distaste for facts.

Many adults in the United States think Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction before the start of the coalition effort, according to a poll by Harris Interactive. 50 per cent of respondents believe Saddam Hussein’s regime had such weapons when the U.S. invaded, up 14 points since February 2005.

72 per cent of respondents believe Iraqis are better off now than they were under Hussein, and 64 per cent think he had strong links with al-Qaeda.

In the midst of a catastrophic civil war, no less than fifty-five percent of respondents “think history will give the U.S. credit for bringing freedom and democracy” to Iraq.

I have given the American people every possible benefit of the doubt over the last six years. That’s not an error I am likely to repeat.

Any means at all

Tony Bliar, having finally placed himself outside the scope of any possible human forgiveness, speaks the truth for once:

“You’re up against an ideology that’s prepared to use any means at all, including killing any number of wholly innocent people,” Blair said.

Damn right. We — that is, most of the world — are up against the mindset of murderous scum like you. In the words of former US National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski:

I hate to say this but I will say it. I think what the Israelis are doing today for example in Lebanon is in effect, in effect — maybe not in intent — the killing of hostages. The killing of hostages.

Because when you kill 300 people, 400 people, who have nothing to do with the provocations Hezbollah staged, but you do it in effect deliberately by being indifferent to the scale of collateral damage, you’re killing hostages in the hope of intimidating those that you want to intimidate. And more likely than not you will not intimidate them. You’ll simply outrage them and make them into permanent enemies with the number of such enemies increasing.

Update: At long last, Labour is getting enough. Bliar’s final exit is likely just a few months away.

Exterminate all the brutes

BBC News:

Israel has rejected a United Nations call for a three-day truce in southern Lebanon, as US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrives in Israel.

The UN says children, elderly and disabled are trapped and supplies are short after two weeks of fighting.

No kidding. A convoy of international press, clearly marked and giving the IDF half-hourly updates on its position, was shelled on Friday on its way out of south-east Lebanon. Several cars with refugees had joined the convoy, mistakenly believing this would be safer. These refugees were hit, wounding several children.

The Norwegian TV2, which had a reporter in this convoy, interviewed terrified villagers trapped with their children in the area and running out of food. They either didn’t have a car or were afraid to be attacked if they left the house.

In the subsequent segment, the Killer Chimp filled the TV screen with his hideous grin, boasting that what is going on in Lebanon “is US policy.”

– We’ll get every last one of those turrrist children.

Update: Good news. A terrorist mother and her six terrorist children were killed when an Israeli F-16, paid for with American tax money, bombed the family’s house outside of Nabatiyeh. Another terrorist family member was also offed.

Unfortunately the terrorist family father, Adnan al-Kharakeh, survived as he was out working for the terrorist Lebanese Civil Defense, saving other terrorist bomb victims.

In other uplifting news on the fruits of US policy, six terrorist civilians were killed in an airstrike against several residential houses in the border village Ain Arab, and a further eight terrorist civilians were found killed on the deadly roads of southern Lebanon. Among the latter were a terrorist married couple and their three terrorist children, hit by an Israeli missile as they shamelessly tried to flee the Israeli self-defense.

Meanwhile, Norwegian TV showed images of a terrorist woman, nine months pregnant, trying to walk the 30 kilometers to relative safety in the blistering heat with bombs literally raining around her. After a near-hit she squatted and cried in despair, as only a true, hardened terrorist would do.

Additionally, another terrorist UN observer post has been destroyed in an airstrike. Two terrorist unarmed UNIFIL observers were wounded.
