Sounds familiar

We were warned like that once before.

Something about "the Mother of all Battles" ...

...ended up with troops surrendering to CNN camera crews, and to robot drone airplanes.

I think that Moslems should begin thinking about US perception. Moslem aggression against Jews and Christians has been going on since the 8th Century. The Holy Peace of Christianity is diametrically opposed the the Holy War of Moslem.

We need to stop doing exit polls in Afghan villages to ask people what they think about US action against Bin Laden. I think we should require that all the reporters around Afghanistan be sent home. There is no reason to lick the boots of people supporting the Taliban which just massacred 5000 people.

Is there any reason to worry about public opinion in a culture that maintains a seething hatred for Western values. I don't think so - ground zero has given way to zero tolerance. We do not need to depart from the values of holy peace to let the US military bring justice to those who openly call for death against it's self proclaimed enemies.

However, people should be fair when criticize the government for not giving them 100% visibility for the events unfolding. Everyone keeps pointing fingers at the US government - Bush ain't gonna pull a rabbit out of the hat.
