On April 19, 2006, Saudi Islamist cleric Sheikh Dr. Nasser Al-'Omar appeared on Al-Jazeera delivering a lecture on jihad. In it, he said, "The Islamic nation now faces a great phase of jihad," and added "There are places where jihad is proper - Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq, Chechnya, Kashmir, and the Philippines." He also told his audience that the U.S. was "disappearing" - echoing his statement on Al-Majd TV on June 13, 2004 that "America is collapsing," and that Muslims "must be patient."

That these people can get away with talking like this - and we still call SA our ally in the war against Islamic terrorism - beggars belief!
They are as much our ally as the mouse is the ally of the cat!
Bush may be getting a clue. But I doubt it.
US President George W. Bush, quoted in Agence France-Presse, has said the September 11 revolt of passengers against their hijackers on board Flight 93 had struck the first blow of "World War III".
That’s very interesting Mr. President. Especially in the light of the fact that in 2002, then-White House spokesman, Ari Fleischer, explicitly declined to call the hunt for Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda group and its followers "World War III".
And in spite of the fact in the fever of the aftermath of 9-11 on the steps of the Capitol, our representatives wanted to declare war, but you declined not knowing who to declare war on but you were positive that “If you weren’t with us, you’re against us”.
And now you declare that the struggle we face is World War III?
Fine. Who is the enemy? What strategies are they employing? What tactics? Where’s the coordinated plan to fight this world war that’s similar to the clear and decisive one that Roosevelt and the Allies had in fighting WWII? Is our enemy in this world war still a band of rogue terrorists who have hijacked a religion? Or are they something else?

Excellent point made here, Tom. You and I think alike, my friend. This so-called war on terrorism is ill-defined and fuzzy. Never was a war so won. To win a war, we need to bring clarity and purpose into the situation.
