Has Rice ever heard of the word "jihad"? Has she ever read the Hamas Charter? Does she really believe that the ever-expanding concessions she is demanding of Israel will slake the thirst of the jihadists there and bring peace to the region? Has she really never noticed that the same ideology that motivates the jihadists in that region also motivates Osama bin Laden, the London bombers, the Bali bomber, and jihadists from Indonesia to Bosnia?
When will official Washington stop mistaking wishes for facts? When will there come a politician, Republican or Democrat, with the guts to call jihad what it is and do what is necessary to fight it? When will the outmoded, inadequate models of realpolitik, constructed for other wars against other foes, be discarded?
Or will we simply continue on this path of concession and negotiation with those who would subjugate us until they succeed in reducing us all to dhimmi status, and only then will we finally realize that they all along considered the willingness to negotiate a weakness to take advantage of, rather than a sign of good will? If Rice would simply read a biography of Muhammad -- even one by a Muslim like that of Martin Lings or one beloved of Muslims like that of Maxime Rodinson -- she might begin to realize that those who consider themselves mujahedin in the same mold as the mujahedin whom the Prophet sent out into battle just do not think the way she and her State Department functionaries think.
But no doubt she can't tear herself away from the learned analyses of the likes of Karen Armstrong and Thomas Friedman long enough to do that.
From AP, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
WASHINGTON - The Bush administration is watching warily, but supportively, as Israel withdraws from the Gaza Strip in an effort to reinvigorate the Middle East peace process.Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called Prime Minister Ariel Sharon "extremely courageous" for honoring the commitment to the pullout.
Rice, in an interview with The New York Times published Thursday, said, "Everyone empathizes with what the Israelis are facing." She added that in the interest of advancing peace, "it cannot be Gaza only."
...added that in the interest of advancing peace, "it cannot be the Sudetenland only."
(W)ahabbster and his wretched, evil, b**** mouthpiece rice know exactly what they are doing.
Those aren't mistakes.
It's part of The Plan.
Americans are only required to watch the Jews die and for "palestine" to be "reclaimed" for islam.
Send this note back to Ms. Rice:

THE BUSH SEVERENCE PLAN AGAINST ISRAEL
by Emanuel A. Winston, Mid East Analyst & Commentator
excerpts;
"It would appear that the latest Bush Family Doctrine is to apply sufficient hostile pressure on Israel in order to force Israel to sever her ties with America. Since it would not be a politically acceptable to the American people or Congress for the Bush Administration to initiate this termination, the Bush Plan is to force Israel to walk away."
"The latest danger to Israel’s safety, security and sovereignty is that Bush, through Condoleezza Rice, has pushed a beaten Sharon into inviting the Egyptian Army into the Sinai Desert (supposedly de-militarized by the Camp David Peace Treaty). Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak demands the right to bring in armor and helicopters to ‘stop’ the smugglers who bring weapons, explosives and Terrorists from Egypt into Gaza. This on-going transfer of weapons and Terrorists would not be possible without Mubarak’s current direct assistance and complicity. Bush and Rice know full well of Mubarak’s assistance to the smugglers but couldn’t care less."
"Then, we have Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, lying at the top of her voice, denying that the U.S. has been in discussions with the Terrorist organization of Hamas. When the U.S. Military admitted such discussions, the new spin was that they were trying to lure ‘reasonable Terrorists’ (an oxymoron, for sure) to leave Hamas and join Abu Mazen’s Al Aksa Martyrs’ Brigade. As you may know, Head of the Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas (aka Abu Mazen) has refused to disarm ANY of the Arab Muslim Palestinian Terrorists but instead, has invited them to become ‘armed Policemen’ (cum Terrorists). Rice seems to have been snookered by this ploy and has gone along with it."
"Severing relations with Israel is high on the Bush agenda in order to appease the Arab Muslim oil world."

A nicely done piece on Moonbat Central:
The Whole World is asking what the Gaza Capitulation by Israel Augurs. We thought we would tell you!
It's fictional, though if things aren't stopped going this way it may not be so in the future.
The Next War:
When the terrorists continue against Israel after
the evacuations of Gaza are completed, Israel
will have the full "moral authority" (not that they didn't have it before) to strike back hard militarily.
I predict that this is what will happen and as
for oil, we have Iraq to supply our needs while we "drain the swamps" of such an evil area!
Read "America's Secret War" by Dr George Friedman.
One of the finest I have ever read.
Learjet0450,
We both agree that Israel had the full moral authority to strike back hard even before the Gaza pullout, and we've both seen the world's disregard of that authority, its demonisation of Israel, its denial of Israel's right to defend itself and its sympathy with the Palestinians.
Do you really think the world has changed? Do you think the world will respect Israel's actions just because of the Gaza pullout? Surely you don't believe that. Things will be the same as always. Israel will continue to be criticised, and pressured to do more "land for nothing" deals.
Unless this insane world stops regarding the Palestinians as "innocent indigenous people" and "simple folk one with the soil" and starts seeing them for the threat to liberty they are. I just wonder how long that will take...
Lear Jet sez:
"When the terrorists continue against Israel after the evacuations of Gaza are completed, Israel will have the full "moral authority" (not that they didn't have it before) to strike back hard militarily."
This is the #2 position (never with supporting argument of course) of BushBots Inc. - second only to: "bush is the best friend Israel ever had."
Back to reality...
The other half of the Quartet's Final Solution is to make the new "palestine" "viable." Jews will still have to provide jobs, infrastructure, and "assistance" to the genocidal Jew-killing Satanic Cult of Death-ists in order for "peace" to "blossom."
And what about other parts of Eretz Yisrael ("West Bank" in terrorist-speak)? Not so easily contained geographically is it?
I'm more than disappointed in Ms.Rice...and with the other useful idiots among our leadership in government, religion, education, and so on. They don't get it. Stupidity is rampant.
We must protect Israel at all costs period.
Anyone who does not undertand that, shouldn't be in office.
I'm sick the Condi parade.
Rebecca
Lets buy her another yellow cotton dress.
She looks sooo purdy in it...
Michael:
No Michael, I don't think the world will change their views and support Israel's response.
But the time will come when Israel will say, "enough is enough and the world be damned".
But they are hoping to get a few converts and
ssy, "I told you it wouldn't work"
The world has the collective head up their butt
and refuses to see that the goal of the Arabs is
the total destruction of Israel. In case anyone is wondering, I am not Jewish, just an onlooker
of current events with it's historical roots.
Dhimmi Watch has a post on the mess Rice is making in Iraq: "Bynum: Rice's Folly"
http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/007769.php
What was trully appalling was when she was in Beirut, some weeks back, she called for Israeli withdrawal from Sheba farms, even though the UN agrees that Israel complied with the UN resolution calling for its withdrawal from Lebanon.
http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/05/front2453583.954861111.html
"Lebanese officials said the administration has assured the new government of Prime Minister Fuad Siniora that the United States would urge Israel to withdraw from the Shebaa Plateau. The area was captured by Israel in the 1967 war and the United Nations regards the area as Syrian territory, Middle East Newsline reported.
"Washington sees the Shebaa Plateau as containing the potential of another Middle East crisis and the main excuse for Hizbullah's continued presence," a Lebanese official said. "We have been given the impression that results could be expected over the next year."
Members of Ms. Rice's delegation told Siniora that the administration would demand a timetable for an Israeli withdrawal from Shebaa after the unilateral pullout from the Gaza Strip and northern West Bank in August."
