Brendan Miniter brings up the other half of the War on Terror – countering the Islamokazi view that an Islamist caliphate spanning the entire Islamic world from Indonesia (side note to Brendan; Indonesia is the largest majority-Islamic country in the world) to Spain. Despite efforts by the Department of Defense to publicize this half of the WOT, including a luncheon by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld at the National Press Club and the release of the Quadrennial Defense Review, this hasn’t been picked up by the press.
I wonder why. Could it be that Americans aren’t dying on this front? Or perhaps it’s that we’re starting to be successful on this front, with the disaster relief in South Asia after the 2004 tsunami and the earthquake in Pakistan in 2005, as well as a successful joint military venture with Djibouti (for those of you who went to public school in the last 15 years, Djibouti is a Muslim country on the Horn of Africa, with Somalia to its south, Ethiopia to its west, and directly across the Red Sea from Yemen). Perhaps it’s because it is going to be a long war that will go on long after President Bush leaves office. Maybe the presstitutes are like the moonbats and believe that the only groups capable of being eeeeeeevil are Republicans, conservatives (at least the Cold War definition of being strongly opposed to Communism), and Christians.
