Iraq; What Our Enemies Are Saying

Note: As I get my feet wet here, I will be posting a series of articles written previously from both my personal blog Madhouse Thought and My RedState Blog

Apparently our enemies, the people who wish to kill us, got the Congress they wanted!

For those who believe that our enemy doesn’t take any interest in our elections or that they don’t care what the outcome is, should take heed to the statements coming from the mouths of these fanatical murderers and ask yourself. How long do we wait until we start taking these people at their word?

Here are just a few examples of what was said in the run-up to election day:

Jihad Jaara, a senior member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and the man who led the terrorist group's 2002 seizure of Bethlehem's Church of the Nativity, expressed this wish:

"Of course Americans should vote Democrat,"

"This is why American Muslims will support the Democrats, because there is an atmosphere in America that encourages those who want to withdraw from Iraq. It is time that the American people support those who want to take them out of this Iraqi mud,"

And

"Bush is a sick person, an alcoholic person that has no control of what is going on around him. He calls to send more troops but will very soon get to the conviction that the violence and terror that his war machine is using in Iraq will never impose policies and political regimes in the Arab world."

Hamas'Abu Abdullah, who worried that Democrats might not keep their pre-election promises:

"I am afraid that even after the American people will elect those who promise to leave Iraq, the U.S. will not do so."

Don’t worry the plans are in the works as we speak! He also said:

a withdrawal from Iraq would "convince those among the Palestinians who still have doubts in the efficiency of the resistance."

"The victory of the resistance in Iraq would prove once more that when the will and the faith are applied victory is not only a slogan. We saw that in Lebanon (during Israel's confrontation against Hizbullah there in July and August); we saw it in Gaza (after Israel withdrew from the territory last summer) and we will see it everywhere there is occupation

Update: By the way this same terror group today called for attacks against US interests

Hamas' so-called "military wing" released a statement, the first of its kind according to Palestinian observers, calling on Arabs and Muslims to attack American targets in the Middle East in response to an Israeli artillery strike that killed at least 19 Palestinians.

"The US provides political and logistical cover for the crimes committed by the Zionist occupation and it must be blamed for the Beit Hanoun massacres," the Hamas military wing said in a statement.
The statement urged Arabs and Muslims to "teach the American enemy merciless lessons they will not forget."

Islamic jihad's Muhammed Saadi said:

"As Arabs and Muslims, we feel proud of this talk," he said, because it meant the violence in Iraq had "brought the big superpower of the world to discuss a possible withdrawal."

Muslim extremist Web site Al-Qala provided this interpretation of Osama bin Laden’s declaration in a videotape meesage that Al-Jazeera broadcast on Oct. 29:

"It means that any U.S. state that will choose to vote for the white thug Bush as president has chosen to fight us, and we will consider it our enemy. Any state that will vote against Bush has chosen to make peace with us, and we will not characterize it as an enemy."

Sounds a lot like they understand the Red State – Blue State thing rather well, don’t you think???

Nancy Pelosi said:

"The war in Iraq is the wrong war. No matter how many times the president wants to say it, the war in Iraq is not the war on terror. The war in Afghanistan was."

According to this statement; not only is she completely blind to the threat of Islamofascism™ but she didn’t listen to Al-Qaida's No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahiriwho said in a letter to to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq:

"Victory of Islam will never take place until a Muslim state is established in the manner of the Prophet in the heart of the Islamic world"
"The jihad movement is growing and rising," Now it is waging a great historic battle in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and even within the Crusader's own homes."

-snip-

"The first stage: Expel the Americans from Iraq. The second stage: Establish an Islamic authority over as much territory as you can spread its power in Iraq . . . in order to fill the void stemming from the departure of the Americans."

Our enemy just told you the war in Iraq is part of their war!!! Congresswomen... sheesh!

Listening closely to our enemies should be the most important thing we’ve learned from history; let’s be sure to be on the right side of it!
