Killing won't make headlines (Joe Scarborough)
What would happen if terrorists launched a killing spree and no one noticed?
That's the question the supporters of Zarqawi must have been asking themselves this week between Thursday massacres and Friday prayers.
Eighteen civilians were blown up yesterday and the world hardly noticed.
Suicide bombings. How 2004.
Like a stale rerun, terror outfits are shooting video of an American contractor begging for his life. But for the terrible personal tragedy of the situation, this senseless crime will have no political impact but to further convince American citizens that the enemies we are fighting in Iraq are subhuman beasts who deserve killing.
Who is running the terrorist's public relations campaign these days?
Kidnappings, beheadings, car bombings are nothing more than sound and fury signifying nothing.
What do these terrorists take Bush for? An Italian PM?
He will not be blackmailed. He will not give in. In fact, he will only be helped by further terror attacks and civilian murders.
With every new terror strike, George W. Bush only grows stronger.
His enemies are vanquished. Michael Moore and the New York Times editorial page are historically irrelevant. The Democratic Party is in disarray. George Soros is busy planning ways to waste millions of his fortune on Hillary's 2008 loss.
The terrorists may still be killing a handful of Iraqi civilians. But all they are doing is strengthening their enemies in the United States and all of Iraq.
It is time for a new strategy. This killing thing just isn't making headlines anymore.
