Chuckie's in The Belly of the Beast for his 12/01/03 rant. He's mostly going on about how brave, wonderful, noble, etc., that it was for President Bush to go to Baghdad for a couple of hours on Thanksgiving to visit the troops. (Funny, he doesn't mention Hillary Clinton's bravery for going there.)
One thing that's changed since Chuckie Watch 20 is that now Chuckie wants them terrorists to be "annihilated" instead of inhaled. And he offers this observation:
<< Whether they are the Middle Eastern Islamic maniacs or the home grown variety like Timothy McVey ... they are simply terrorists bent on destroying life as we know it and must be annihilated down to the last man ...
<< That's what our troops are doing in Iraq and Afghanistan and our President knows it. >>
I've been puzzling over how it is that Chuckie thinks killing Saddam Fedayeen in Iraq or Taliban hardcores in Afghanistan is going to get rid of rightwing militia nutballs in Oklahoma. Maybe he thinks that terrorists are possessed by demons, and that if you kill one of them while the demon's there, the demon goes "poof" and is banned forever to the demon afterlife like in the Charmed TV series. So if you kill the demons in Iraq, they won't infect anyone in Missouri.
Homegrown terrorism is hardly an academic issue. Atrios and Orcinus have called attention to this under-reported item from Texas about "one of the most extensive investigations of domestic terrorism since the Oklahoma City bombing." According to the report, three suspects linked to far-right groups were busted with various deadly material, including "a cyanide bomb capable of delivering a deadly gas cloud." If true, that would be more "weapons of mass destruction" that have been found so far in Iraq.
Next week: Chuckie demands that we send the Army to occupy Texas?
