America overwhelmingly won the fighting in Iraq, yet continues to lose the war. Israel won every battle in Lebanon, yet supposedly lost the war. Wait a second -- how is that even possible?
How can it be that: South Beirut looks worse than Hiroshima? the entire southern part of Lebanon is comparable to Dresden? Israel pretty much devastated Hezbollah, eventually winning over every town it entered? Didn't the IDF get to the strategic Litani River, even though it occurred later than first anticipated? And yet -- CNN, The New York Times, al Jazeera, the Economist and Europe, all call it a defeat for Israel.
Of course Olmert (pronounced "all merde") and Amir Peretz (pronounced "a mere putz") screwed the war up from the outset, although it is easy to be a Monday morning General, especially if you are a CNN reporter. Yet Jacques Chirac (pronounced "merde"), that amazing military strategist, declared, "Israel used 'disproportionate force,' although they somehow lost the war."
Only a French madame for Saddam (and I mean madame in the sense of cheap whore) like Mr. Chirac could come up with such a ridiculous statement. I'll tell you what was disproportionate, Jacques: America, who was never even threatened, using massive power to save Europe in 1945; that was truly unequalled and excessive. Pass the Vichy Water, Jacques.
How is it possible that millions of non-innocent Lebanese accomplices of Hezbollah (aka "Lebanese civilians") are bemoaning their lost homes and families, blaming Israel for the devastation, while their brave rolly-polly nouveau hero Nasrallah hid in a basement in Iran, or the Iranian embassy in Beirut, declaring a great victory? Doesn't the world understand that if Israel were not one of the two most moral countries in the world (along with the US), then ALL of Beirut, no, ALL of Lebanon would have looked like Nagasaki, without Israel ever touching its nuclear arsenal?
Yet the Hezbollah terrorists declare victory because they "stood up" to the Israeli military. Joe Louis' opponents all stood up to him--so what? They were still knocked out. But Nasrallah (pronounced "Nazi rally") and Ahmadinijad (pronounced "a mad dog on Jihad") had the audacity to declare, "Hey world. Do not believe your lying eyes because Islam won! And do not pay attention to the Hezbollah goose steppers and Nazi salutes you saw being displayed on TV by Hezbollah children as young as 10. We are the good guys."
It is a new type of military strategy, actually quite brilliant. No matter how badly you lose (i.e. Iraq or Lebanon), you simply declare victory. The macho Arab and Muslim armies cannot fight against the West, as seen in the way both Israel and America have humiliated them every single time in battle. So Muslim nations have developed a brand new weaponry called "collateral damage," disproportionate response," and "collective punishment," launched with the help of the supposedly Zionist-controlled media.
There you go, Israel and America--so much for caring about those "innocent civilians." This is what you get for being so nice and not using force properly. Perhaps carpet-bombing Beirut and The Sunni Triangle would have produced far fewer Israeli and American casualties, and ended the fighting much sooner.
How is it possible that America invaded the supposed great war machine of Iraq and defeated, no decimated, the strongest Arab/Muslim army in the Middle East in just one month, capturing 90% of the top Baathe party officials including the main man himself--Saddam Hussein, while killing both his sons? Yet the evil insurgents (aka terrorists), the Arab/Muslim world, the American left, a majority of the Democratic party, Europe and Hugo Chavez all say in unison, "Hey America, do not believe your lying eyes, because you guys have lost."
The answer to this dilemma is fairly clear if you just go to Cairo, Egypt where there is an impressive museum dedicated to the Egyptian victory over Israel in 1973 (sic). I mean, is that a joke? Welcome to the Arab/Muslim version of war, where "winning is losing and losing is winning."
The Arab and Muslim world finally figured out a way to defeat America and Israel: just lie about it, just like Hitler and Goebbels, who used the big lie technique for their own propaganda war. Ever since Sabra and Shatillah, Israel's enemies learned that you can murder your own people, show it on CNN ... and then successfully blame the Jews.
According to Nasrallah and his terrorist corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Iran, "Victory is the fight itself." With that type of rationalization, one can never lose as long as one man is left standing, even though he is shaking in his sandals and holding a white flag.
Western democracies are both brilliant and stupid, strong and weak, all at the same time. America and Israel have the power to destroy whom and what they want, when they want and how they want. However, the big stumbling block is their obsession with decency and morality. And the Arab/Muslim media has made an art form of misusing this important Judeo-Christian quality.
The Zionist-controlled media (sic) shows photos (some falsified by Muslim journalists) of Lebanese mothers and children suffering the results of the "big, bad Israeli war machine" and naturally, our hearts hurt. The Jewish/Christian psyche feels compassion when we see any children in pain, unlike our enemies who celebrate the deaths of their teenage suicide bombers.
However, imagine a photo of Adolf Hitler as a baby, suffering with a bad case of measles. I guess we should cry for little Adolf. It is important to view all photos/videos within their proper context, which is the reason that CNN is the ultimate form of propaganda.
If Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry Truman worried about so called "innocent civilians" and "collateral damage," Americans today would be speaking German and singing praises to the Fuhrer! There were babies in Nazi Germany and Japan who were blown to smithereens along with their mothers. But that is a consequence of war and the blame is totally on the evil enemy of democracy.
Today, our liberal politicians and CNN have lectured us that we must "win over the hearts and minds of the Arab and Muslim world." If I hear that despicable phrase again, I will need a barf bag. Who needs to win "hearts" that want to destroy everything American, Christian and Jewish? Who needs to win over evil minds that cherish suicide bombers, beheadings and death? Frankly, we should be more concerned about stopping their hearts from beating!
Their minds and hearts are not embarrassed by bin Laden, Saddam, Nasrallah and Ahmadinejad, because these men happen to be fellow Muslims. "Bad Muslims" do not embarrass most of the Muslim world; but a political cartoon about their Prophet Mohammed does indeed embarrass them.
And this concept is the KEY to winning the war in Lebanon, Iraq and worldwide terror --embarrassment, humiliation, disgrace and shame. Those are the West's secret weapons in addition to maintaining our great strength.
In the Arab and Muslim world, a man's honor is everything--everything. Accepted Western values such as women's rights diminish a "real man's" honor in their minds. Thus a wife is just a piece of property who should cover herself with a burqa, stay home, not drive a car, cook dinner and have babies.
If a Muslim man cannot control his wife or children, he loses the respect he enjoys in the eyes of other Muslim men. In the Arab/Muslim world, once "honor" is impaired, great efforts are required to restore it.
Hence, honor killings are prevalent because a daughter has dated someone against her father's wishes or may have had any form of premarital relations. Imagine that--killing your own daughter gains respect. And yet the whores at CNN want us to be compassionate to people who believe these evil ideas.
The secret weapon to winning this battle with Islamic Fascists (thank you GWB) and the entire Islamic world (except most American Arabs and American Muslims who do not have this hangup), is to understand that the Islamic world's honor is the collective property of their family or the entire Muslim nation. If honor is lost, it causes the loss of "karam," which is dignity ... and DIGNITY, dignity is everything!
To Nasser, Arafat, Saddam, Ahmadinejad, Assad, Nasrallah and the Arab/Muslim street, if their "karam" is damaged, if they are insulted or shamed, they are obligated to put up a great show in order to restore their dignity. The man who has self respect never allows anyone to insult or defeat him with impunity.
Why did the media stop showing the Saddam capture video of American troops using a tongue depressor to check out his hoof and mouth disease? Because a lot of pressure from Arab and Muslim countries was applied to everyone not to show it. Embarrassing Saddam is like embarrassing all Muslims. Can you imagine an American saying we should not broadcast the Timothy McVeigh capture because he is an American?
So how does America, Israel and the West defeat these sick monsters? Listen carefully Mssrs. Bush and Olmert. You guys think you are sophisticated because you do not respond to the bad guys' comments. You say "we do not want to stoop to their level, because we are better."
Western democracies--listen up. Don't you understand that by not responding to their macho rhetoric, you embolden them. Let us give al Jazeera some excellent material for the Arab/Muslim street to hear. The difference is that we can back up our rhetoric and they cannot.
Of course we are better, a lot better. But we are cutting our noses off to spite our faces if we do not respond to evil, even verbally. These are valuable lessons that one learns only in the Brooklyn schoolyard, where you must deal with psychotic, psychopathic bullies like the leaders of Muslim countries. So George and Ehud, here is some valuable information and quotes culled from a top secret CIA report, which should be used in upcoming speeches.
1) Everyone knows that Fatso Nasrallah had to run and hide in Iran because he feared that Israel would do to him, what Israel had done to his pathetic, cowardly little son in the 1967 war. "Chic" Nasrallah calls it a big victory to "stand up" to the IDF. "Stand up" in this case actually means, "We lost miserably, but we will lie and say we won." Nasty Narallah knows that if the lie is repeated often enough, a la Joseph Goebbels, people will believe it."
Notice that Nasrallah's wife is never seen in public. The reason he hides her is probably why the burka was originally invented. Because Mrs. Nasrallah is so hideous looking, that she could burn your retinas out if you looked at her ugly face for too long a period of time. therefore, a veil is absolutely necessary for the good of the neighborhood.
2) And check out that little spider monkey who runs Iran. Is he a joke or what? The skinny little midget, Ahmadinejad, probably needs his nuke because of a serious case of "penis envy," since Allah, God or nature did not give him his fair share. "Little" Ahmadinejad also makes his wife wear a burqa to hide her mustache. Had he not married her, she could have successfully toured with the sideshow of Ringling Brothers Circus.
Notice how Ahmadinejad never takes "the little woman" (she's even shorter than him), to any government function. That is probably the only good thing he is doing for Iranian society. Her face would crack a tv camera. She is one hideous looking First Lady. At least King Hussein got himself a hot American babe, although not the brightest bulb.
3) Reviewing Syria's military qualities, Bashir Assad and the arrogant Syrian Foreign Minister produced some interesting results. The Syrian leadership seems to have forgotten how Big Daddy Assad lost the entire Golan Heights to Israel in a few days. The truth is that the Helena, Montana police department could defeat the entire Syrian army in today's environment. If Syria is not careful, our analysis tells us that Israel will be negotiating about the return of Damascus instead of the Shebaa Farms.
4) For Americans to win in Iraq, there is an easy strategy. American soldiers are in Baghdad patroling the streets, and have already won the war. The Marines have become a police force, unable to enforce law and order on the most immoral population on the face of the planet. The only thing that Iraqis can do successfully, is blow up their own people every day. Therefore, US armed forces should leave very, very soon.
If Iraqis choose to set up a democracy, we should wish them good luck. However, if Iraqis choose another dictator, a theocracy, divide the country or anything else, America should wish them well. As long as they do not bother any of their neighbors who are America's friends, or dare to hurt us through any form of terrorism, they can literally do what the hell they want to each other. However, should Iraq go outside their borders or threaten any of America's friends, the United States will pull a Schwartzenagger and "We'll be back!"
5) Declaring victory in Iraq and leaving the Iraqi people to their own talents (sic), is only part of the winning strategy. How about turning over Saddam, Tariq Aziz and their partners in crime to the Israelis for one of the greatest show trials ever? After all, they did attack Israel in the Gulf War, so Israel can put them on trial as war criminals. We were just notified by the Israelis that the new prisoner uniform in Israel for court appearances on tv is wearing a pair of tight shorts, a sleeveless t-shirt ( "A" shirt), no sox and the prisoner's head must be covered with a pair of sexy women's Victoria Secret underwear (color red).
If the Middle East did not like Abu Ghraib, wait until these images from an Israeli courtroom are shown on al Jazeera. And should a defendant like Saddam Hussein get out of order and yell at the judge, he will be grabbed by the neck and pushed back down into his chair by his Israeli "female" guard.
6) Before leaving Iraq, America might consider capturing the Iraqi Nasrallah, his twin dish towel wearing fatso, al-Sadr, who had the audacity to lead a demonstration of hundreds of thousands of his followers against Israel. Amazing, that the most evil people on earth have the nerve to criticize and demonstrate against Israel.
The above suggestions are not satirical. Not at all, although many leftists and liberals are probably more angry with this writer than with the evildoers. That is par for the course.
Yet, this is how we can win the war on terrorism. When Ahmadinejad and his phallicly challenged buddies see what could eventually be in store for them, their rhetoric and ideas will certainly change. That type of public embarrassment is a fate worse than any torture and death to that mindset.
The key to winning in Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, et al is to totally destroy their nation's dignity, very, very publicly. This includes embarrassing their families, their history, their leaders--all with truth. It shouldn't be hard, no harder than Ahmadinejad's little "nuke."
In fact, that is why the entire Arab and Muslim world is angry with Israel, a thousandth of their landmass and a hundredth of their population. Israeli shows them just how little and impotent they are.
I mean, why does Malaysia, Indonesia and Kuwait hate Israel and refuse diplomatic relations or trade? Israel does not "occupy" one square inch of their land. If it really was the Palestinians, how come not one word was said against King Hussein of Jordan who massacred the Palestinians and threw the remainder of them out of his country in what has become known as Black September of 1971.
The simple answer is that the entire Muslim world is angry with tiny little Israel because this ragtag bunch of ex-Yeshiva buchers totally humiliated every single Arab and Muslim nation by building a gorgeous, successful country in the Middle East from sand dunes, produced one of the most incredible scientific and technological societies in the world, and then had the audacity to decimate any Arab/Muslim country that attempted to destroy them. Talk about humiliation!
And the Saudis, even with all of their oil money, are still -- so to speak -- humping camels in the desert. Check out Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Egypt, et al -- third world countries all that have not yet to develop to any modern extent. Can we blame them for hating Israel so much? How dare those arrogant little Jews embarrass a billion Muslims!
These are real answers to winning the war against terrorism, about which every single Western democracy should be concerned. If we do not begin to respond to their evil rhetoric, we will have to respond to their evil nuclear weapons. Only then, it may be a little late.
