Boyd Spins In His Grave

Unhinged illiterate, Magalangadingdong:

Putting aside how the outdated portions still refers to Zarqawi in the present tense, the big thing that strikes me about the key judgements is that they reflect a dhimmi, historically ignorant view of jihad more suited for the moonbat Left than our premier intelligence agencies. Check out this paragraph:

Four underlying factors are fueling the spread of the jihadist movement: (1) Entrenched grievances, such as corruption, injustice, and fear of Western domination, leading to anger humiliation, and a sense of powerlessness; (2) the Iraq "jihad;" (3) the slow pace of real and sustained economic, social, and political reforms in many Muslim majority nations; and (4) pervasive anti-US sentiment among most Muslims--all of which jihadists exploit.

Not a word about the 1,400-year-plus history of Islamic hostility to the West or Islamic imperialism from time immemorial or the Koran-inspired war on infidels--long, long before there was a United States and "pervasive anti-US sentiment."

Remember what I said yesterday?

If our intelligence agencies are laboring under the moonbat illusion that Muslim hatred of the infidel West didn't really start bubbling until the year 2003, we are really in deep, deep doo-doo.

Well, it appears we are, in fact, in deep doo-doo.

Yes, we are in deep shit, but it's not because of the goddamned NIE.  It's your guy that's lit the fire.  And did you not notice POINT NUMBER FUCKING ONE?  That is part and parcel of the "1400-year-plus history" you obtuse, hate-filled psycho-hosebeast.  What's more, any "omission" you find so agregrious does nothing to contradict the other finds in the report.

Understanding root causes--REAL root causes--is absolutely critical in a moral conflict/4GW.  Bush and his apologists continue to demonstrate no interest in actually dealing with the issues at hand to achieve real victory.

PS--Does Magalandadingdong not know that this report was prepared in APRIL?  Thus her snark about the "outdated portions" is a bit, uh...fucking stupid.
