The Media’s Military Mavens
Liberals accuse conservatives of being “chickenhawks,” but why do they think they're so smart?

To Americans and the rest of Christendom we say, either repent
[your] misguided ways and enter into the light of truth or keep
your poison to yourself and suffer the consequences in this world
and the next.

Mr. Gadahn and his new playmates are lucky that Christendom in its
truest sense, no longer exists. Their constant references to those
who decline their polite invitations to conversion as crusaders are
especially galling, since had they really been such, the
Islamofascists would probably have been already defeated, as they
had been once by those valiant Christian soldiers. And they still
might be, should the collective West ever truly decide to see this
war as a crusade to save its way of life.
Yet our liberal military experts maintain that if we just sit down with these fine fellows and engage them in friendly debate, our problems will be over. After all, it can’t really be religious fervor that’s causing this little dust-up; it’s just got to be some kind of sociological reaction to their mistreatment at America’s hands.
As if the twisted demands of our enemies are negotiable; and worse, as if ours should be.
