Ann Coulter May Want To Think This Through
For reasons I prefer to keep to myself, I just reread Ann Coulter's famous post 9/11 column. She calls for America to "invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
But who are "they," specifically? Well, come on! As the lovely and talented Ms. Coulter explains, it's obvious who they are:
We know who the homicidal maniacs are. They are the ones cheering and dancing right now.
So... cheering and dancing -- like that by these people -- automatically means an invasion by the US?
There was ruin and terror in Manhattan, but, over the Hudson River in New Jersey, a handful of men were dancing. As the World Trade Centre burned and crumpled, the five men celebrated and filmed the worst atrocity ever committed on American soil as it played out before their eyes.
The reason I'm wondering whether this is a hard and fast rule is that, if it is, Coulter believes we should invade Israel:
Who do you think they were? Palestinians? Saudis? Iraqis, even? Al-Qaeda, surely? Wrong on all counts. They were Israelis – and at least two of them were Israeli intelligence agents, working for Mossad, the equivalent of MI6 or the CIA.Posted at December 18, 2004 11:54 PM | TrackBack
Given Richard Pearle's connections to Likud, is there anyway theses Isrealis spies would not have told the United States if they knew what was going down? I just am in disbelief that these sorts of stories do not get more attention in the US Media.
