Who's Winning World War III?

Tuesday, July 25, 2006

By Bill O'Reilly

The terrorists are winning.

I'm very sorry to have to say it. But, just like Germany and Japan, were ahead in the early stages of World War II, the terrorists are winning in the early stages of World War III. That's because some people continue to deny such a war even exists. Even though people like me defined it years ago:

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

It simply amazes me that Americans can get so worked up over John Kerry's Vietnam War posture, when the real issue is how the Senator and President Bush will deal with World War III. The economy's important but nothing compared to the danger that Islamic fascists pose to all of us.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

Now some other pundits are in agreement with me. And how could you disagree? From Somalia to Indonesia to India to Sweden to Canada, Islamic fascists are on the attack. The violence in Israel is just another campaign in the worldwide jihad.

But here in the USA and around the world, we are not united against that jihad. The far-left media refuses to confront the truth, preferring to blame America for all the trouble. Just today, radical left New York Times columnist Bob Herbert blamed the current Middle East violence on President Bush.

Overseas, there is actual sympathy for the terrorists. In Belgium, demonstrators this weekend called for the "Israeli aggression to stop." In the United Kingdom, anti-Israel protests were held in 11 cities. The Muslim Association of Britain organized some of these demonstrations. In London thousands of pro-Hezbollah people gathered in Hyde Park. In France and in Iran, the picture was similar. Thousands of folks protesting against Israel.

Back in the USA, most people are condemning the Hezbollah attacks and backing Israel, but certainly not all. The bottom line is that the world is not united against terrorism and because of that the terrorists are winning. The American left is united in opposing every anti-terror action the Bush administration has taken. And the media day after day pounds home, not the danger that Islamic fascism poses to us, but the danger the Bush administration poses. Again, no way terrorism can be defeated with that kind of division.

So like Hitler and Tojo, the terrorists have gotten off to a fast start in this World War. And unless the world wises up, the terror killers will achieve even more victories. Believe me, the Iranian leadership believes it's winning, as does Bin Laden.

The world is once again blind to real danger. And unless the world wises up, more mass murder is inevitable.

And that's "The Memo."

Who do the terrorists consider to be "innocent lives?"

When non-Muslims killed are considered "infidels" and Muslims killed are considered "martyrs?"

Who's Winning World War III?

No one. There are no winners in war. It all boils down to who suffers the least amount of innocents lives lost in crossfire.

Of course there is a winner and there is a loser in war. Nobody likes to see innocents hurt or killed, but nobody ever said war was a pretty thing. Anytime tyranny forced back and the opressed set free, they are the winners. Only a peace-nick would say there are no winners in war. Nothing personal, River.

Most of the press is very anti-American, and WANTS America to fall. That is why they are pulling out all the stops, just like they did in Vietnam, to try to turn American opinion against the war, AND MAKE US LOSE. The Demoncrat party, treacherously betrayed our nation then, and they are doing it now! They are the party of Europe, and the party against America. That is why they get the press coverage in the anti-American press.

I lived through Vietnam, and see the exact same forces martialled against us. Even some of the faces haven't changed; the bloated, drunk Ted Kennedy still leads the way for these satanic minions.

That is simply not true. War is a necessary evil. It is ugly, it is nasty, and everyone involved pays a high price. As bad as it is, had WW2 not been WON by the allies, the world would have lost to fascism.

The freedoms you enjoy today, are because wars have been won (by the right people).

As always Israel loses in the media arena. But they are winning where it really counts.

OK -

Had WW2 not been WON by the allies, the world would have lost to Nazism.

As long as world opinion of Israel continues to degrade thanks, to the comments ands accusations of people like Kofi Annan, Hezbollah will be the victors. All Hezbollah has to do is to win public opinion in the middle east to win. Isreal has to stop Hezbollah from firing rockets into Israel as well as secure the safe return of their soldiers to consider it a win. All Hezbollah has to do is "resist" and they will have won a victory against the "zionist invadors". Isreal always has and always will have an uphill battle untill Christs return.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that all the conflicts involve muslims, but most of them do, without a doubt. We can't forget the tamil tigers and there are still guerilla groups(drug lords) in southern mexico and other latin nations that need to be dealt with. And it would not be a good idea to discount Kim Jong Ill of North Korea and his desire to blackmail the rest of the world into supporting his communist country.

I stand corrected. I definitely used a generalization.
