RE: The announcement by the Obama Administration that it will give "aid" to the Syrian rebels currently fighting the regime of Dictator-for-Life Bashir Al-Assad.
I seem to recall an old saying that goes something like this:
When your enemy is making a mistake, don't interrupt him.

Usama Bin Laden: Sorry Little Narcissist...
Some really creepy videos accompany this piece by the New York Post's Andrea Peyser.
It is almost axiomatic that the world's most notorious murderers and tyrants are insatiable narcissists, and incidentally, it's also true that many happen to be frustrated artists.
Adolf Hitler was a failed painter, Mussolini and Napoleon wrote extremely bad plays, Frederick the Great wrote execrable poetry, Nero fancied himself a playwright and master musician, Saddam Hussein wrote romance novels. Usama Bin Laden apparently fancied himself as a modern-day, Islamic Cicero, giving political speeches on the evils of Capitalism and Western Culture, all the while watching himself of television (a product of Western Culture), and up to his armpits in perhaps one of the most iconic symbols of Western Culture; huge stores of Coca-Cola were found in every nook-and-cranny of his guilded Pakistani-suburban slum/ hideout.
The contradictions would be lost on Bin Laden, but then again, what do you expect? A Narcissist is usually the last person to get the joke, especially when he's the butt of it.
We know of Bin Laden's last days because he did us the dubious favor and had them videotaped for us. Like a Muslim John Kerry, who had himself followed about by movie cameras while collecting enough self-inflicted gunshot wounds to be sent home from Vietnam, Bin Laden was never far from the glare of the lights and the video camera, creating a perpetual image of himself as something he wasn't. In the end, Usama Bin Laden wasn't the towering figure of cold, calculating, pious rage and fear that he had so carefully portrayed himself to be; he was a sick man, dyeing his beard, all hopped up on Viagra and past glories, hiding for fear of his sorry little life. When his end came, he did not, as he had once vowed, gone down fighting in a glorious martyrdom; he hid behind is wife and children, and then was gunned down like a dog.
The Great Hero of the Islamic World, shot to death within the borders of the Islamic World's only nuclear power, living under the protection of the Pakistani military, immersed in the very swamp water of the Western World that he hated so much; television, mass media, Coca-Cola, Viagra, the 24-hour news cycle, Al'Jazeera, the Remote Control, making speeches about the dangers of Global Warming and Capitalism like a college freshman with a 960 SAT score after a kegger. Bin Laden had been captured long before by the very culture he so despised, and he had never even noticed it. Dipshit.
His little world, the one in which he was never out of range of the sound of his own voice, never very far from his own self-constructed image, was all that was left to him, and it consumed his last days on Earth.
Now, after a decade of being the biggest boogeyman in History, Usama Bin Laden became little more than a punchline to a very bad joke.
I have no sympathy for the man, and if there's one complaint on my part about this whole capture and execution routine, it's that Bin Laden wasn't hung by his heels in Times Square to get the full Mussolini Treatment, in front of the very television cameras that he craved so much.

"This is Why We Want To Kill You..."
Faisal Shahzad, the Times Square Bomber speaks after being sentenced to Life in Prison.
If you are one of those people who didn't "get it" before, do you get it now? They don't want democracy. They don't want free-market capitalism. They aren't "envious of our freedoms". They want us dead. Just because.
Get these fucking people out of the country, and then slam the door shut. Instead of building schools and sewers in Baghdad, we should be building piles of corpses. Employ the Scorched Earth policy from Algiers to Aden, from Indonesia to Islamabad. It's been nine years, and despite multiple proclamations of "Victory" in the War on Terror, by two Presidents and I've forgotten how many Generals, it still seems to escape the notice of those in high places that these people are absolutely fucking batshit insane; they make no distinction between "guilty" and "innocent"; they don't recognize any legal niceties like peace treaties or Presidential utterances; they regard a withdrawal of troops not as a sign of peace, but as an excuse to start the fighting anew. They have no sense of gratitude, otherwise how to explain why it is that having "freed millions of Muslims" from the oppression of Saddam Hussein and the Taliban, having been Pakistan and the "Palestinian Authority's" only source of cash for two generations, having sacrificed American lives to liberate Kuwait, save Saudi Arabia, and protect Bosnian Muslims from the tender mercies of the Serbian death squads, they still insist on killing us?
To listen to the jihadis, and the people who defend them, they're innocent victims. Sure, they drive car bombs into daycare centers, send the mentally ill out to wander the streets wired with explosives, machine gun people in marketplaces, try to blow up airliners in mid-air, and have a long, sordid history of unspeakable violence and depravity going all the way back to the idiot who invented the piece of shit they call a religion, but they insist they only have peaceful intentions, and when some Muslim action that obviously cannot be regarded as peaceful occurs, it's almost always an act of self-defense, a cultural misunderstanding, or a reaction to the "lack of respect" shown to the Muslim world. We've always deserved it.
The only real defense against people this crazy, this delusional, this arrogant in their own stupidity, is to kill them. Take the gloves off, already, and let the American Military do what it's supposed to do best: break things and make people bleed.
Faizal Shahzad is not unique. He is not a"lone individual" driven by his personal demons; he's part of a culture that accepts murder, and is expected to commit murder under any circumstances and by any means, in the name of their phony-baloney God. Murder and terrorism have always been the tools of the Modern Islamic Nutjob, just as they were the tools of the very first Islamic Nutjob. There isn't enough prison space to hold these guys, not enough psychologists to unravel the sordid tale of interrupted breast feeding, poor potty training, and the legions of western girls who laughed at their tiny tallywhackers, or simply denied them sex (because, at heart, lack of sex, or sexual deviance, is the motivation of the Modern Western Jihadi) to handle this problem easily. This is not a criminal matter, nor is it a problem that lends itself to diplomatic solutions.
Pakistan has nukes.Iran will soon get nukes. Afghanistan is very close to being a lost cause, seeing as how after a President who fought there half-heartedly, we have a new one who's objective seems to be how to surrender gracefully. Iraq is far from pacified, and even though we've withdrawn troops the various political and religious sects within the country will continue fighting for many years, killing one another. Turkey is becoming more-and-more radicalized by the day. In many European cities, there are so many Muslims that they form de-facto states-within-a-state, and because of their inability to assimilate into European life these morons are even easier to "radicalize" than their Middle Eastern compatriots. The stage is being set for the unthinkable: one day soon, some Islamic Lunatic is going to decide that the West Must Die, and an Islamic nuke will find it's way into a European or American city, transported there by Muslims living in the West, pissed off and running to the mosque to get radicalized because they can't get a blond to throw 'em a blowjob, or because we insist that they use soap and deodorant.
It's all ever-so humiliating, you see.
And they'll be justified, they believe, because avenging "the humiliation" they feel at living here and enduring our disgusting notions of hygiene, liberty, capitalism and tolerance, and their desire to resurrect "the glories" of the old Islamic Caliphate -- who's greatest achievements boil down to the suicide belt packed with nails and the IED, and a generation of inbred, mental-defectives willing to use them -- is the only way to feel better about themselves. Theirs is a culture so inferior to our own, and they know it to be, that it has become inherently dangerous to us to allow it to continue to survive and prosper. We're wasting our own lives and treasure trying to prove how "sensitive" we are instead of fighting for our lives. The other side figures that's an even better reason to kill us; we pity them, on some level.
We're not dealing with rational human beings here. Take the fucking kid gloves off, already.

Major Jerkoff Caught Jerking Off...Film at 11...
Scott Ritter. Remember him? He's the guy who claimed that Saddam Hussein had Weapons of Mass Destruction...and then that he had none...and then it was all a figment of Bushitler's fevered imagination. Then we found out that Mr. Ritter had allegedly been bought by Saddam Hussein, perhaps through the U.N. Oil for Food scam (remember that?) with some cash that was supposed to be a investment in some "documentary" Mr. Ritter was making.
Now we know just what it was that Saddam had on Ritter to turn him around and into a tool of Iraqi Propaganda.
Scott Ritter was caught soliciting what he thought was a 15-yr old girl, online, complete with video of him...umm...well... masturbating. Like a chimpanzee on speed. Oh, and it appears that Ritter has a history of this stuff, having been caught once before in New York, a charge he originally attributed as a revenge move by the U.S. Government.
It's nice to see that Karma is still operating.
But, Good Lord, why does it seem that everyone connected with the U.N. is a pedophile?
