Herald Proves to be Unglobe in Boston

Read this cry for sanity from the unlikeliest of places---Boston!---as the unGlobe alternative Jules Crittendon weighs in on how Lieberman and Al Qaeda are collaborating! Just like Arianna and the Puffington Host insist, it was all timed by MI5 and Scotland Yard to coincide with the Connecticut Primary!

Karl Rove is awesome!

"Another quarter has been heard from in Connecticut’s senatorial race. The crucial al-Qaeda endorsement.

This pack of political activists -- thuggish, given to strongarm tactics -- just endorsed Joe Lieberman.

The Lamont crowd, narrowly victorious in Tuesday’s primary, had forgotten about this part of the body unpolitic. The part that wants to kill us.

Ned Lamont, like Cindy Sheehan and the rest of the one-issue Left, thinks the enemy is George Bush. They think George Bush is the greatest threat to world stability and individual rights. They think he is the one who wants to kill us and enslave us.



They also believe that Iraq is something different. An elective war, not part of the war on terrorism, never a threat to the United States.Iraq is the tub they thump. "Bush lied, soldiers died."You’re familiar with the drumbeat. They hate everything about the Iraq war.Death. Detainee abuse scandals.Psychotic rapist murderer GIs. White phosporous. Sectarian violence. Massive election turnouts. Especially the massive election turnouts. That’s the part that lets us know, this all might be worth it. The Iraqi people, the terrorized majority, millions upon millions of ordinary Iraqis desperately want us to succeed.

Ironically, the anti-everything crowd that so hates the Iraq war and sees it as a diversion from the war on al-Qaeda also hates Guantanamo, alleged secret detention centers, extraordinary rendition, and interrogation techniques that create discomfort and disorientation in terror suspects. They want the war against al-Qaeda to be a civil affair, a police action. The Bush administration, they say, has been ineffective in the war against al-Qaeda. It’s not entirely clear which part of the United States government’s five-year campaign of decimating and imprisoning al-Qaeda’s leadership, foiling terrorism plots and disrupting terrorist cells has been the ineffective part. It must be the plot they have not yet stopped, the one that someday might succeed. It must be the al-Qaeda operatives and leaders they have not yet killed or captured. Osama bin Laden, after all, is still able to issue videotape statements from whatever hole in Pakistan’s tribal terrorities he is hiding in. It must be the tremendous ill-will the Bush administration has created overseas. It has not been a cuddly counter-terrorism. It has not made them like us. So we see jihadis by the dozens, maybe even the hundreds, flocking to Iraq. We see highly orchestrated street demonstrations led by extremist parties. The demonstrations are such a quaint holdover from the pre-911 world, that innocent time. The periodic effigy burnings, the torching of silly-looking homemade "American" and "British" flags.

The Europeans and third-worlders who didn’t like us before 9-11 still don’t. And the Bush administration’s greatest failure in its relentless and deadly pursuit of al-Qaeda, has been its failure to stop and sufficiently ponder, "Why do they hate us?" The Bush administration’s greatest failure has been its own failure to hate us, too."

"Lamont and company see Iraq as distinct from the war against al-Qaeda. They see Lebanon as distinct from all of this. These are wars that fuel al-Qaeda, they say. People who are upset to see war in Iraq and Lebanon did not like Joe Lieberman’s support of the United States and Israel. They do not accept that violent Islamic extremism, the subverting of democracy by armed thugs and the pursuit of weapons of mass destruction by pariah states anywhere is part of the same war. They do not accept that the efforts to destroy extremism in those failed states are necessary to destroy a hydra-headed, opportunistic enemy.

But many of the good people of Connecticut who voted for Lamont will. All those security moms who thought they could go back to being soccer moms?Security moms once more. They cast their feel-good votes Tuesday to express their distaste for violence. But that portion of the electorate that allowed itself to be briefly distracted by the bright shiny object Lamont was dangling in front of them -- easy peace, all glittery and yours for the asking -- are waking up from their gauzy dream this morning and remembering what Joe Lieberman stands for. Their security. Something not easily achieved. Something that requires hard choices and uncompromising action.

Because another quarter has been heard from. Al-Qaeda, always annoyed when it is ignored, has spoken up again. With its plot to blow multiple commerical airliners out of the sky, Al-Qaeda has endorsed Joe Lieberman."

Yep, and I'll bet if they really wanted to get Joe elected, they would have staged their own apprehensions and arrests even earlier to get him a primary win!
