During today’s Press Conference with President Bush, President Hamid Karzai of Afghanistan responded to a jerk-wad democrat reporter’s question referencing their deranged understanding of the soon to be released NIE:
“Ma’am, before I go to the remarks by my brother, President Musharraf, terrorism was hurting us way before Iraq or September 11. The president mentioned some examples of it.
These extremist forces were killing people in Afghanistan and around for years, closing schools, burning mosques, killing children, uprooting vineyards with vine trees, grapes hanging on them, forcing populations to poverty and misery.
They came to America on September 11, but they were attacking you before September 11 in other parts of the world.
We are a witness in Afghanistan as to what they are and how they can hurt. You are a witness in New York.
Do you forget people jumping off the 80th floor or 70th floor when the planes hit them? Can you imagine what it will be for a man or a woman to jump off that high?
Who did that? And where are they now? And how do we fight them, how do we get rid of them, other than going after them? Should we wait for them to come and kill us again?
That’s why we need more action around the world, in Afghanistan and elsewhere, to get them defeated. Extremism, their allies, terrorists and the likes of them.
Like Batman (Bang! Zowie! Boom! Smack!).
The press at this news conference got their rear-ends handed to them. Prior to Karzai’s response President Bush answered the question in the same straightforeward way:
“We weren’t in Iraq when we got attacked on September the 11th. We weren’t in Iraq and thousands of fighters were trained in terror camps inside your country, Mr. President. We weren’t in Iraq when they first attacked the World Trade Center in 1993.
KARZAI: Yes, sir.
BUSH: We weren’t in Iraq when they bombed the Cole.
KARZAI: Yes, sir.
BUSH: We weren’t in Iraq when they blew up our embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
My judgment is, if we weren’t in Iraq, they’d find some other excuse, because they have ambitions. They kill in order to achieve their objectives.
You know, in the past, Osama bin Laden used Somalia as an excuse for people to join his jihadist movement.
In the past, they used the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It was a convenient way to try to recruit people to their jihadist movement.
They’ve used all kinds of excuses.
This government is going to do whatever it takes to protect this homeland. We’re not going to let their excuses stop us from staying on the offense.
The best way to protect America is to defeat these killers overseas so we do not have to face them here at home.”
Ohhh, again, (Bang! Zowie! Boom! Smack!)
Wait until the rest of the NIE is released and you’ll see left is simply going to implode. They are feeling November slip away and therefore they are acting even more unrationally than ever before. This is the reason Madam Botox wanted to have quick hit and run hearings before everyone really finds out just how stupid her, Senator (leaky) Turban-Durbin and the rest look. Too bad that move failed. Get ready for another bad week for Democrats.

1You really have to see the interview to get what a big smack down it was. It was the lengthy pause after Karzai said “do you remember the people jumping out of the building”. It was chilling for any body trying to make the case we should fold and go home.
