Afghan Hijacker Works In Airport Lives On Welfare

It's a nice gig, if you can get it:

Hijack a plane. Threaten and assault passengers. Get let out of jail. Get a job working in an airport and live, rent and tax free, on welfare.

That’s quite a career path.

Surrender Afghanistan

That whole surrender Iraq thing hasn't gone so well, so what shall the liberals turn to? Why Afghanistan, of course! John Hawkins says:

See? It's an unwinnable quagmire and besides, why would Europe even want to ally with the US to occupy Afghanistan in an "immoral and wrong" war for oil? Why, the US better wake up to the fact that we need the military help of Europe more than they need our military help, even though we have the best military that has ever existed and all of Europe combined with the exception of Britain probably couldn't fend off a few hundred angry Girl Scouts. Yep, either we have to draft hundreds of thousands of Americans or declare defeat and call the whole thing off.

Today, some liberal doofus on the Smirking Chimp website is making these arguments, but in a couple of years, it'll be people like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, John Murtha, or Russ Feingold saying many of these same things if the Democrats get in the White House. Blaming America first, undercutting our national security, and making things easier on our enemies is just what they do...

It is irritating, the liberal's attachment to defeat. Is there a leader among them who desires victory and has the spine to say so? Not that I can see.

Who Are We Fighting Again?

The worst sort of haters:

Last month al-Qa’eda bombed a UN building in Algiers because, like de Mello, it was symbolic of the decent world which the Islamists want to destroy. Eleven UN officials were killed at once. And so it goes on.

The murder of Bhutto, the murder of UN officials, the countless murders of innocent Iraqis, the murder of Lebanese who fight for their democracy, the murder of commuters in Madrid and London are all part of the same war against people and life. They are all part of the same deadly global ideology of hatred and despair. These assaults will not end if we retreat — from Afghanistan, from Iraq or anywhere else. Weakness will cause the terrorists to redouble their efforts.

We fight for life and happiness against death and despair.

Meanwhile, In Afghanistan

We're kicking Taliban ass. Oh wait, you missed that on the news tonight? Yeah, well that happens. A lot.

South Korean Hostages To Be Released, Women Suffered Rape

Gateway Pundit reports that the women were raped. Have you heard about this in the MSM? Yeah, neither have I. It's being reported by the free press, aka a Blogger, in Afghanistan, though:

The local and international news agencies did not reveal the news for some reason But only one local media revealed the news in Kabul. The report witnessed by Mr. Pathan the governor and he added that Pakistani Taliban did the assault.

Democrats Should Be Ashamed

Pork-laden, craven and troop-undercutting, that's the Democrats. Nancy Pelosi was positively jubilant during her press conference. She's the perfect Speaker for the Democrats: she knows no shame. How many promises can you break and look yourself in the mirror? And do the Democrats believe the military feels supported by them? And will Americans approve of this nonsense in the face of a successful start to a new war strategy?

Glenn Reynolds has a round-up.

Oh, and here's the General who is giving Michael Yon crap in Baghdad. You know, General Brooks, your war has enough enemies from without and within, as Congress proves. Do you really want to make life hard for an patriot and fair reporter?
