I thought I had seen it all. The "it" being the depths of foolishness and apathy in this nation, but I guess I was wrong. Call it youthful naivete if you wish, but after reading the transcript available at the WaPo's site, it only reinforced my understanding of the cruelty, hatred, and depravity of our enemy. Good Lord, ladies and gentlemen, he stated he was the one who helped behead Daniel Pearl. Why am I making a big deal out of this? Because of this. Yes, K-Lo @ The Corner located that poll at the San Francisco Chronicle's site (about midway down the front page on the right-hand side). The question is this:"Do you believe Khalid Sheik Mohammed's terrorism confession?"
27% say yes. 13% believe he is "aggrandizing his role" in al Qaeda terrorism. A whopping 60% say no, they cannot believe "anything that comes from a Gitmo suspect." 60% say they do not buy what he is saying. They do not believe he had anything to do with 9/11. They do not believe he had anything to do with Daniel Pearl's cold-blooded murder. They do not believe he was involved in the first World Trade Center attack in 1993. That speaks volumes, do you not agree, about the people that are not paying attention right now? At least in San Francisco? I know, I know, asking San Francisco to get a clue on anything is like asking for a miracle from God Himself, and I wiould likely have a better chance of calling down lightening on my own.
BUT ... while they refuse to believe his confession during a tribunal, then why do they buy the charges of those released from Gitmo that claim abuse?
Gotcha. It is the same mindset that believes that we wantonly and intentionally abuse and torture our prisoners that is willing to disbelieve the confession of a known terrorist and murderer. THAT is why I am worried that if, some day, we do get bin Laden, will those people be standing there refusing to buy his confession, too? Despite all of the experts who have spoken on and written about this particular subject, there will be people who just do not buy it. They do not understand it. They canot comprehend it no matter how much evidence is thrown at them or presented to them.
They will continues to disregard anything that proves our side of the argument in this war. That side is simple. We have an enemy. They will not give up until they kill us or conquer us. Believing something that is contrary to that is not patriotism. It is plain, old-fashioned idiocy. And the Left is the master of that precise domain.
