Holy War

In case you Bush voters had any doubt you were voting for the End Times, with George W. Bush riding in on his triumphant horse as the Second Coming of Jesus, here's your proof, via Ron in Portland over at Running Scared (which jeez, I am these days):

Something significant happened today and although it's significant I'm not talking about the storming of Falluja. (here and here) I'm talking about this; Saudi religious scholars support holy war.

Prominent Saudi religious scholars urged Iraqis to support militants waging holy war against the U.S.-led coalition forces as American troops prepared Saturday for a major assault on the insurgent hotbed of Fallujah.

The 26 Saudi scholars and preachers said in an open letter to the Iraqi people that their appeal was prompted by "the extraordinary situation through which the Iraqis are passing which calls for unity and exchange of views." The letter was posted on the Internet.



"At no time in history has a whole people been violated ... by propaganda that's been proved false," Sheik Awad al-Qarni, one of the scholars, told Al-Arabiya TV.

It's officially a "Holy War".

Be careful what you wish for, you might get it. Do you still feel "Better the knave we know than the fool we don't"? Do you still feel safer?
