Eugene Robinson, Hypocritical Liberal Attacks the President
The War Bush Isn't FightingHere's your archetypical Liberal hypocrite blaming Bush for ignoring Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden yet who spent reems of paper attacking the Bush administration for their efforts to monitor international phone calls and who relentlessly attacked President Bush for wanting to strengthen the Patriot Act. Man if that isn't classic Liberalism I don't know what is.

When unsmiling agents at the airport take away your contact lens solution, your toothpaste, and your cologne or after-shave, remember Osama bin Laden. Remember the real war on terrorism that the Bush administration and its allies decided not to fight, preferring cowboy-style military adventures.
The revelation yesterday of the elaborate plot to blow up airliners over the Atlantic Ocean with liquid explosives reminds us of the real threats we face -- as opposed to the phantom threats that George W. Bush and Tony Blair have conjured to justify their disastrous war in Iraq.
The airliner conspiracy seems to have all the hallmarks of an al-Qaeda extravaganza: careful and sophisticated planning, the intent to shock the world with simultaneous detonations, cold-blooded determination to murder innocents by the hundreds, and a timeline that comes suspiciously close to the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Sending a cascade of Boeings and Airbuses into the frigid ocean would have had the kind of theatrical impact that al-Qaeda always seeks.
But it doesn't really matter whether the plotters were al-Qaeda soldiers taking orders from bin Laden or just a group of like-minded admirers working on their own. The plot demonstrates that al-Qaeda lives on, either as a functioning organization or, even more chillingly, as an inspiration to jihadists around the world.
In Mr. Robinson's neighborhood President Bush has "distracted" our security resources from the "real" problem by attacking Sadam Hussein in Iraq, yet we know that to be completely false because Mr. Robinson has also been investing a great deal of time and energy in attacking the President for being too aggressive in pursuing domestic Islamic Terrorists. He doesn't want us fighting the terrorists in Iraq even when the terrorists themselves consider Iraq "central" to their strategy for Global Islamic Jihad, and yet he also doesn't want the President to use every means within his power to combat Islamic Terrorism here at home.
Perhaps Eugene is deserving of a little "surveillance" himself. He opposes our efforts both at home and abroad, perhaps he supports the aims of the Global Islamic Jihadists. How about it Eugene, are you a sympathizer? Or is it that you just hate the President so much that you don't care what he does, you will attack his actions.
Either way, you are a loser of the very lowest order.

Why do terrorist consider Iraq central to their efforts? Oh, yes, perhaps it was because we went in there and attacked them based on false pretenses. If we wouldn't have gone into Iraq it sure as hell wouldn't be a terrorist hot spot. If we wouldn't have gone into Iraq we could have diverted all the money from the war into taking care of developing new technologies to combat terrorism before it strikes us - such as liquid explosive detectors for which funding was delayed. Secondly, going into Iraq simply pissed more people off and created more terrorists than there already were. Just as Israel's destruction of Lebanon has resulted in rising local support for Hizbollah that was not nearly there before. Israel will suffer the consequences of this current attack on Lebanon and sadly so will the US. These wars are doing nothing but creating more terrorist and causing more people to hate us. I mean can you honestly say that we are safer because of our war in Iraq? If so, why? Terrorism must be defeated but we're doing it the wrong way.
anonymous,
It was a terrorism "hot spot" before we got there. Zarqawi was there training before we got there. Al Qaeda had a training camp in Iraq, before we got there. Saddam Hussein was paying bounty to families of terrorists, before we got there.
Saddam had already had significant and repeated contact with al Qaeda and bin Laden before we got there. They were not enemies, they were careful allies.
Step away from the Kool-aid and maybe you will be able to discern the difference between reality and Liberal Mythology.
I see that you are one of the Oracles of the Left. How do you know all of these "facts" you lay claim too? What proof do you have that Iraq "created more terrorists than there already were?" Have you got a list somewhere of our terrorist enemies? Is there a listing that says "new terrorists" and one that says "old terrorists," or is this, as usual for you on the Left, another WAG that has become a tenet of faith on the Left?
anonymous,
Once again you ignore the argument being put forward for your own agenda. The point of the article was the hypocrisy of those of you on the Left in denouncing President Bush's efforts to stop terrorist attacks, such as NSA monitoring, and then turn around and attack him for not doing enough to stop terrorist attacks.
Truly Left-wing Moonbat logic if ever there was any and of course intellectually dishonest.
Ah Malven. You're insights are so full of "truthiness."
