The announcement of the three carefully orchestrated suicides of the terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay arrived in that packet of news briefs on Fox with little accompanying fanfare.
Just a how do you do and an update out of that small bit of democratic america on that great big island of oppression where the liberals grow teary eyed about Fidel's marvelous health care system, where a toothy Jimmy Carter's photo also hangs on the murderous Mr. Castro's wall, and where Mr. Chavez often calls.
Sadly, like so many deaths which had preceded these, they were choreographed to maximize their attention by their number and simultaneity. and they succeeded to some little extent. The death dealers are smart and the New York Times is a preferred lapdog, who'll jump at the sound of the mailman or the death of a torture monger with equal aplomb.
and the Times — the home of Mr. Pinch Sulzberger's personal playground, anemic cash cow, board of approval, personal elevator, valet, hod carriers, sounding brass, distorted lenses and mirrors which make him seem taller, scrambled telephones, large private bathroom, larger office, plans for the new executive office building, bins of fading stock values, future earnings warnings — went to the mat and wept for their passage into a honeyed and virgin populated Paradise at the collective drop of their Keffiyehs.
Not content to merely mourn their abrupt departure from the vale of tears they were enduring for merely being captured on the field of battle when they could've been shot, while operating as irregularly dressed terrorists well outside the bounds of the oft applied Geneva Convention, which in the liberal mind set applies to combatants of every evil stripe except american soldiers, the Times literally bemoaned their upscale housing and treatment.
and then, far from being finished in their vindictive sleights, the Times went on to explain that the UN, that Solomon-like arbiter of all things evil, had previously deemed our treatment of these poor wretches, these downtrodden suffering murderers, as unconscionable. after all, their world renowned absentee rapporteurs had said so.
Yes, Kofi annan and his court have deemed our treatment of our prisoners as dreadful, while they remain silent about that meted out to those in the docks in Zimbabwe, the Congo, North Korea, and Cuba — and all the other garden spots of humanity the UN is so loath to judge for fear of upsetting the anti-democratic moguls they hustle with such alacrity and provide a handy forum for. But mum's the word at the UN, especially about their own criminal behavior, a topic the New York Times sheds little light or ink on.
Of course in their unquestioned zeal, the Times, with only the goodness and mercy they always have at their total command, had forgotten that the UN had never visited the well-lit and airy dungeons at Guantanamo Bay, despite the offers of the US military, where the three squares of food are said to be quite good and the Koran is treated with all the dignity that can be mustered, after all the appropriate courses on its treatment are absorbed. and this on top of the routine humiliations the Bible endures at the hands of the same brigands and of the Times themselves.
Yes, the terrorists have killed themselves, the Times has and will continue to sob, as they have for Mr. Zarqawi, and soon the usual liberal politicians will again demand a full redress of the horrid conditions which reign there. and they will conveniently forget those visited on Nicholas Berg and our valiant dead, nor will the loudest detractors visit, before rendering their decisions. For, like Honest John Murtha, the facts would only serve to cloud their verdicts, which must be swift, deadly, and prearranged, and they are required by MoveOn.Org to find the military wanting in every regard. It is, after all, far better and easier to damn the soldier in the field from the safety of the congressional office, than to praise him while standing in the dangers of the combat zone.
Soon John Kerry and his anti-war ilk, will be calling for a further retreat and a further abnegation of our goals in the war on terror. and this bugling will come from a man who chased a guerilla down himself, he claims, and shot him to pieces in a way that should disturb the New York Times every bit as much as the courageous acts shown by our troops.
But with Mr. Kerry being liberal, his actions have become laudable, while our troops, being americans fighting terrorists who threaten us all, are not - it therefore stands to reason, somehow, that the Times will vilify those abroad today and sanctify those who aren't.
The suiciders have gone to meet their maker and have left the New York Times, the UN and Mr. Kerry to sing their song. and Pinch is doing the best he can with the staff he has to work with as he goes about maligning his country, belittling the war we are fighting for his personal protection and for the protection of his freedom to publish his ever more hopeless, fact thin and propaganda rich, riotous rag of a newspaper.
That Mr. Kerry and the other buffoons at the UN will soon pipe up is without question.
But the troops in Iraq and afghanistan continue in their grim work, while those charged with watching the zealots in Guantanamo Bay will do their best to slow the production of fresh grist for dying mills at the Times and to reduce the bovine fodder for the left.
We, who are stuck in the middle, will deftly dodge the odious charges leveled against our military, as they do, just as we ignore the ceaseless absonant carping of the Kerrys and Murthas in our midst.
Imagine the trail of mourning which can lead from mere entry into the camps, where the killing of the infidels is taught and praised, to a life at Guantanamo Bay.
and rather than view the poor sad murderers within, think of their choices made without, before you cry for their plight.
