XEKE.com's Easiest Prediction XEKE.com has made predictions in the past, some have been proven correct, others, sadly have turned out to be incorrect. We've had fun with predictions because we're big enough to accept that, although our analysis is spot on, our predictions are often just shots in the dark. The prediction that follows, though, is incredibly easy. I can't even say that it's all that profound, as others certainly have made similar predictions. But XEKE.com wants to go on record with the wise and the correct, and that is why we now put the following prediction in writing. If the United States engages in any sort of troop drawdown/redeployment/withdrawal in Iraq, nothing short of chaos will ensue and we'll all witness the blood bath that will follow. How anyone can come to any other conclusion is simply mind-boggling. Additionally, our enemy will have the benefit of viewing our drawdown/redeployment/withdrawal as surrender, and therefore they'll be able to consider the years since 9/11 as merely a bump in the road on their path to world-wide Islamic extremism.
The enemy in Iraq, namely fanatic Muslims, is far short of rational and are completely illogical. These are the same folks who, angry that they were portrayed in a Danish newspaper as violent, violently protested all over the world. These are the same folks who stone women for revealing their ankles beneath their burkas. Does anyone, in their right mind, believe that these nuts will observe a withdrawal of American forces and say, "Well, I'm glad that's over. Now that those Americans aren't around, we can get back to our normal, peaceful lives?" All one has to do is simply follow the thought of a military redeployment to its logical conclusion. One doesn't even need to get political about it. In the absence of a military force preventing Stone Age civilization from prevailing, what might happen? Hmm. Al Quaeda itself has even referred to Iraq as the central point of their operations and their goal of establishing Sharia Law across the Middle East. Yet American Senators, Republicans no less, have advocated policies that our enemy will view as nothing short of surrender. Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, Pete Domenici of New Mexico, and Judd Gregg of New Hampshire have joined the ranks of the other critics of the war. A few points that need to be made at this point:
These Republicans need a dose of reality, and they deserve to hear from their constituents. They need to be reminded that presenting a united front in support of our troops in the face of our enemy is, for them, priority number one. They don't make policy, they don't advise policy. They are members of the legislative branch, not the executive, and developing foreign policy, in any form, is not their job. If they want to communicate the displeasure of their constituents, so be it, but do it behind closed doors where our enemy is out of earshot, not on the front pages of the New York Times and on CNN. Have these Republicans learned nothing over the past 13 years? Back to the prediction. We're not exactly going out on a limb on this one. Troop pullout in Iraq equals devastation there, and attacks here. Period. 7/10/2007 |
