Turning a Deaf Ear

Doesn’t anyone in America listen to our enemies? I know for sure that they pay excruciating attention to us and our political affairs. The most recent example of this can be found in today’s Al Qaeda in Iraq audio released by Zarqawi’s successor, Abu Ayyub al-Masri. Al-Masri basked in the resignation of Rumsfeld calling Bush a “lame duck”, labeled Bush the ‘most stupid’ president (sound familiar to the American Left), called him a ‘coward’ who will pull out of Iraq as opposed to fight, and reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to destroy Israel and the United States. While dispatches from the underground such as this are certainly common occurrence, the chilling aspect of this latest release is that is rehearses the tired musings of the American Left almost verbatim (Bush as coward, Bush as stupid) and that it reaffirms the global motivation of Al Qaeda to destroy the West. With an American withdrawal in Iraq, known by everyone else in the world (including our enemies) but us as the central front in the war on Terror, the jihad will continue until Washington and Jerusalem fall. In reality, this latest release by al-Masri will get another four hours of play in the media and fall below other newsworthy internet items….however; the determination will remain strong in our enemies. I am simply amazed at how we consistently fail to listen to our enemies and take their intentions for the truth; instead we rationalize it as directed against Bush or as ‘hot air.’ We have ignored them before and we were attacked, we continue to ignore them and we will be attacked again. I promise.
