British Idiocy (and I don’t mean Monty Python)
The Labor Party's Foreign Secretary has done a very brave thing: he has condemned former Labor PM Tony Blair's policy of confronting Islamic extremists. Wow.
David Miliband says that British (and by implication American) foreign policy has now alienated millions of Muslims.
He admitted that British foreign policy had alienated millions of Muslims. Speaking of a recent visit to Pakistan, he said: "I met young, educated, articulate people in their 20s and 30s who told me millions of Muslims around the world think we're not seeking to empower them, but to dominate them.

In Fact, Columbia Would Invite Hitler
And we thought it was a rhetorical question: since Columbia University is interested in hosting Ahmadinejad, we asked whether they would have invited Hitler during WWII.

Al Qaeda: Like Congress, Falling Poll Numbers
The WaPo reports that like Congress, al Qaeda is not doing so well in the polls:
Pollsters say that it is difficult to find 90 percent agreement that apple pie is American -- yet polling in Turkey two years ago found that 90 percent of citizens believe the al-Qaeda bombings in London, Istanbul, Madrid and Egypt were unjust and unfair; 86 percent thought that there was no excuse for condoning the Sept. 11 attacks; and 75 percent said bin Laden does not represent Muslims.
Support for terrorist tactics has fallen in seven of the eight predominantly Muslim countries polled as part of the Pew Global Attitudes Project since 2002; in most cases, those declines have ...

Al Qaeda Has No Future in Iraq

Citing the Anbar Awakening, Hussein (no known relation to Saddam) believes there are seveal reasons for the turnaround there and why it serves as a model for the rest of Iraq:
After months of clashes, it was clear that Al-Qaeda in Iraq was losing the battle in Anbar. Peace and stability were brought back to the province in almost no time. The success in Anbar has stimulated other tribes and groups to challenge and fight Al-Qaeda in Iraq in other parts of Iraq. Local tribes ...

Al Qaeda: Torturing Boys by Burning their Hands
The Taliban shoots school girls. Al Qaeda bakes children and serves them to their parents.
On Sept. 4th, we captured a long-time al Qaeda in Iraq leader known as "The Executioner."
Mu’ayyad ‘Ali Husayn Sulayman al-Bayyati, also known as Abu Wathiq, is believed to be an advisor to senior terrorist leaders and was responsible for conducting executions.

Reports also indicate residents of Tarmiyah feared al-Bayyati’s constant threat of violence and knew him as “The Executioner.” Furthermore, detainee reporting indicates that al-Bayyati tortured two 12-year-old boys ...
