They are f*cking TERRORISTS! Not militants, not hostage-takers, not separatists! THEY ARE F*CKING TERRORISTS!

It is very interesting to see that 1 - just 1! - news organization from the ones I just surveyed is calling a spade a spade! Is it any surprise who it is?

I anticipate that Bush will shortly journey to Russia to cement a formal alliance against terrorism (see wienerlog.blogspot.com for additional comments). It will be both a brilliant strategic and political move. Even though the 9/11 death toll was higher, it is emotionally more devastating to see terrorists deliberately targeting and killing little children. The sub-human animals who commit such acts must be hunted down and eliminated, no matter where in the world such terrorist groups try to hide.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
