Not that I believe that the Democrats believe anything they say, but the charge that Bush has ignored terrorism in favor of a war in Iraq is gaining with me. It looks like terrorists have used the war in Iraq to organize around Africa and parts of Europe and are ready to make hellacious trouble.
If Ledeen doesn't scare you to the toilet Daniel Pipes sure will. He has a blog that I haven't read for a week what with the funeral and a graduation, but he is loaded. Item One:

Brit tax payers foot most of the bill for huge mosqe in London. BBC touts the opening without mentioning the speaker is one of the most radical of the radical Islamists; Jews and advocates violence against non-Muslims.

This amounts to official patronage for jihad, covered up once again by the BBC. Go HERE.

Then, like in big surprise, Pipes tells of Islamist terrorists who tried to spring the the badly wounded ringleader of the massacre in al-Khobar. They were dressed in burkas as many attacks before, they couldn't find their pal and Saudi security guards let them escape. Hello!!! Big article HERE.

And if you think Powell has a "grasp" of anything try this one on:

Once again our State Department has "goofed". Their latest "Patterns of Global Terrorism" report is a highly politicized document, reflecting the Washington debate and diplomatic imperatives, but this year it has veered into unreliability and even falsehood. It's a dangerous document likely to harm the war on terrorism.

Subsequent Patterns of Global Terrorism reports have been no less unsatisfactory, but they seemed untouchable, for who can or will tell State to clean up its act?

Read this.

Next, if you didn't read it, Pipes believes there is already a Civil War in Saudi Arabia. I forget that he has a daily blog and with the funeral and my feelings I neglected to read him for a week. If you haven't been there you better go. Pipes is close to the best.
