Ayman al Zawahiri for George W. Bush
Tweet
It is kind of intriguing that Al Qaeda leaders continually support Republican foreign policy. Then again, when someone makes your job easier, I would suppose you endorse them…

fascinating….
I remember when the al qaedi folks were up and ENDORSING Kerry for president, and the amount of squawking that you put up then.
Funny how you seem completely immune to recognizing your own hypocrisy
funny in a pathetic way….
Funny, I don’t remember that.
Perhaps because it never happened.
I think he’s using that fabled Islamic math — you know, the math they excelled at 1300 years ago!
You see, we lose 4,000, they lose 45,000.
They want 250,000 Americans dead (splitting the difference) — They get 11,250,000,000 martyrs for Allah!
The problem is where do you get 810,000,000,000 virgins?
Amazing. According to Frank we have killed two times more AL Qaeda members than exist. Using Frank’s legendary math power we should run out of people on Earth before Al Qaeda is eliminated.
That might have been the point Frank was making, actually. Who knows.
We have killed approximately 45,000 terrorists, midderpidge. Why don’t you go run to your Iraqi War Facts and Figures that you’re so fond of and check it out.
NG: Your lack of understanding is by no means mythical or unknown.
Over what period of time? In which places? How, where and when? And how do we know they were all terrorists? You can’t just wave a big number with lots of zeroes under our faces and expect us to bow to your all-encompassing greatness and superiority in all things. Context, Francis, context.

We could prove that it happened if your website wasn’t getting “accidentally” erased every year or so…”oops, another few hundred posts down the memory hole….is that what they mean by plausible deniability?”
Do your employers know about your habit of erasing databases? Or, as their IT geek, do they consider that a benefit?
Oliver is perfectly well aware of web.archive.org and so are you, so that’s that angle shot to pieces. Next evasion please.
I keep telling my kid’s hot teacher I am a 16 year old virgin. So far, no dice, but I’ll keep you guys informed.
“You see, we lose 4,000, they lose 45,000.”
Wrong math.
US falsely arrests and tortures a street merchant, Al Quada gains 100 or so followers.
US kills 57 people at a wedding, Al Quada gains 1000 or so followers.
US overthrows a Sunni government in Iraq, (which is the minority group in Iraq bu the majority group in the Muslim world as a whole), and installs what is seen as a puppet Shiite regime, and Al Quada gains untold followers.
If you methods of killing the bad guys just creates more, then no matter how many you kill, there will always be more bad guys than you started with.
NG: My name is not, nor was it ever, Francis.
The last figure I read was 45,000. Because of people like you, i.e., people who like to ask unanswerable questions about the dead just to cast doubt on the American effort, CENTCOM hesitates to release the figures with any regularity. I read that figure in the fall of last year, and I assumed it had not decreased.
Looking around Google gets all kinds of results, but very few direct references to “enemy casualties”.
I did find an unattributed, uncorroborated mention of 50,000(0n Ask X).
The last figure I read was 45,000.
Frank, I’ve also seen figures in that ballpark, but they referred to Iraqi dead including civilians, not “terrorists.” CS explains above why the distinction matters.
I was referring to the fact that by the time Ayman al Zawahiri gets his desired 250,000 American dead, it will be about 2250 AD, and he will be needing about 810 billion virgins, at the current we are killing them.
I wasn’t making a geopolitical strategic logistical estimate.
Didn’t any body catch my drift hen I mentioned their “fabled Islamic math — you know, the math they excelled at 1300 years ago!”
Look, I know how important it is to you guys to point out how wrong I am, but give a fella a break.
On a more serious note, this purported Cerberus like reproduction of terrorists may be as mythical as that of the original three headed Hound of Hades. It certainly isn’t as formulaic as CSS makes it sounds: Uses 1 cup flour :: Makes 16 brownies.
“On a more serious note, this purported Cerberus like reproduction of terrorists may be as mythical as that of the original three headed Hound of Hades. It certainly isn’t as formulaic as CSS makes it sounds: Uses 1 cup flour :: Makes 16 brownies.”
It’s not formulaic, nor did I ever intend to make it sound as such. But it is predictable. As such, the longer America stays in Iraq, the more terrorists are created by the situation. This explains why worldwide terrorist attacks are up, despite the claims by some on the right that the war in Iraq is nescessary part on the war on terror.
“Look, I know how important it is to you guys to point out how wrong I am, but give a fella a break.”
Shorter Frank: I was wrong.
CSS: I certainly don’t dare to disagree with the man who is “Quite possibly the greatest man I’ll ever know”, but I’m fairly certain (again, I hesitate to argue with the Great CSS) you did post this:
US falsely arrests and tortures a street merchant, Al Quada gains 100 or so followers.
US kills 57 people at a wedding, Al Quada gains 1000 or so followers.
Now, I’ll be durned if that doesn’t strike me as formulaic.
So, everything after “But” is bullshit. That’s an American saying. You may not know it.

You can’t get shorter than Mr. Pipeline.
And I said what I wanted to say; I was not wrong, and I didn’t leave my name off.
What, are you afraid of making an enemy? You’re probably one of the bottom feeders around here that I couldn’t give a shit about.
george bush was the best thing that ever happened to Osama binLaden so of course they endorse his plan, it’s good for them.
When the Dems take over the government in ’08, the 28%ers are going to be screaming their poor little heads off.
OW will have to start banning them again just to keep them from polluting the message boards.
you lefties definately have history on your side…I mean, we firebomb dresden, what do we get…more Nazis! Drop white phosphorus on Tokyo….yup, more Kamikaze’s holding out until the end…
When will we learn that, like superheros, dropping enormous quanitites of munitions on bad guys…just makes them STRONGER just look at the number of Nazi’s and japanese enemy soldiers we have running around today because of our tactics!
Thank god for the lefties and their “reality based’ leadership….it is only by leaving the bad guys ALONE that we can possibly win this war….
Wrong again, Pedro!
Since when is Al Queda the same as Germany or Japan during WWII? Haven’t you been paying attention to the past 6 years of Bush Administration talking points?
Bush: We face a new kind of enemy.
Cheney: a new kind of war against a new kind of enemy.
Rumsfeld: We are facing a new type of fascism in the world, a new type of enemy,
Try to keep up with us, Pedro. It’s really not that hard.
Oh, so only these new al qaeda have superpowers then? Only THEY draw strength from being blown up with HE or FMJ bullets?
Good to know! I will be sure to load up on silver Kryptonite bullets to kill these fiends, cause otherwise, you know, I will just be making more of them!
You’re a great American, thanks for the tactical update!
Now back to the slurpy machine lefties, the rest of hard working america is getting thirsty
“you lefties definately have history on your side…”
Because steeling ourselves with stupidity is an idea already embraced by the right.
Sheesh, pedro you just swallow the tripe whole don’t you?
“You’re probably one of the bottom feeders around here that I couldn’t give a shit about.”
You sure are one weird fuck, frank.
Pedro, I’m glad to see you understand the difference between a sovereign nation with a central command structure and hard borders, and a loose collection of people with no central command, no defined borders, and no real loyalty any specific country.
You’re so smart, Pedro. You should volunteer to be Bush’s War Czar. We’d have that there war on terrah won in a couple days.
frameone: Are you a real person, or some complex computer program that generates random sentences from time to time? Because you haven’t made sense since about, oh, I don’t know, February…
Shorter Frank: I post virtually everyday in virtually every thread (OW thinks it’s his blog LoL!), therefore I make sense!
“Now, I’ll be durned if that doesn’t strike me as formulaic.”
I thought the, ‘or so’ part suggested otherwise.
“So, everything after “But” is bullshit. That’s an American saying. You may not know it.”
Actually, everything after but is backed up by your own intelligence agencies.
“it is only by leaving the bad guys ALONE that we can possibly win this war….”
Hey Pedo, nice strawman.
You win this war by using your intelligence community to strike at the leaders, not by using your military to blow shit up.
And guess what, every single one of your intelligence organizations agree with me and not you.
“I thought the, ‘or so’ part suggested otherwise.”
Yeah, like “a teaspoon or so” of baking powder.
I knew what you meant. And I certainly could have given you the benefit of the doubt.
But you’ve been busting my chops for weeks now. You needed a taste of your own medicine. Stop being a dick.
“I knew what you meant. And I certainly could have given you the benefit of the doubt.
But you’ve been busting my chops for weeks now. You needed a taste of your own medicine. Stop being a dick.”
Here’s the problem, Frank, you had to misinterpret what I said to attack me. The, “or so” bit clearly shows that it wasn’t a hard formula, ergo, you are wrong.
Ergo, you are still a hopelessly incorrigible dick.
“Ergo, you are still a hopelessly incorrigible dick.”
I doubt you could find proof that I ever said otherwise.
