Our New Enemy II
Well, not only have the Palestinian people shown themselves to be supporters of brutal and inhuman terrorism (see below), they've now begun to be active military combatants in Iraq.
From our friends at The Telegraph:
"Elsewhere in the refugee camp there was clear evidence that Palestinians are joining the resistance against the American forces in Iraq. Near the Al-Wasim mosque, a poster paid tribute to Thaer Abdullah Rahman, formerly of the camp, who was killed in Iraq two months ago."
And...
"Wajeeh Maoud, the mosque's muezzin, who calls worshippers to prayer, said that many Palestinians were going into Iraq and some had been killed there."
Fine with me. As long as we understand that this is the case. And act accordingly.
The Palestinians have shown clear and convincing intent to support terrorism against civilians. They have taken up arms against the United States across three international borders (Israel-Lebanon, Lebanon-Syria, Syria-Iraq). This action on their part qualifies them as international terrorists; the qualification President Bush used as one of the principal features of our enemy in this war on terrorism.
Therefore, the Palestinian terrorists have now leapt into the big league. In some ways, the Palestinian terrorists may be even more dangerous than the folks we've been actively fighting so far. They (the Palestinian forces) have the broad popular support of their civilian base. And that support gives them a legitimacy that is unique among the various paramilitary organizations we've targeted: they are doing exactly what the Palestinian people want them to do -- kill civilians in vast quantities and (probably) kill Americans as well.
Sure, it's manifestly clear that the Palestinians are little more than irritating, gnat-like, impotent wankers. But that description could have been accurately applied to the average Middle Eastern/Islamic terrorist three years ago. And look what that got us.
I want you to look at something: This (hat tip to Allah, via LGF). And I want you to think about what it means, both for now and for the future.
To quote Michael Ledeen: Faster, please.
