Operation Enduring Chaos. The war against Iraq continues to kill hundreds of Iraqis a week, which makes Israel extremely happy but decent Americans very sad. Meanwhile, Radical Zionist liars in media continue willfully to misrepresent the war against Iraq as an intrinsic and inseparable part of the "War on Terror", even tho a recent intelligence report said that the war in Iraq has increased the danger of terrorism against us by recruiting people to terrorist activity and in making anti-Americanism not just respectable but practically compulsory for hundreds of millions of people across the Moslem world.

Just today, the New York Post, which seems to think every last one of its readers is Jewish and thus automatically Radical Zionist, willfully mixed apples and oranges in opposing a Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives next month. Odd, you'd think, that a newspaper located in one of the most solidly Democratic cities of the Nation would be so rabidly Republican. Equally odd is it that a paper that panders to Jews on Israel does not alienate those same, mainly arch-liberal Jews with its other stances. New York's Jews do not vote Republican but are, in general, among the most liberal of voters, far more likely to vote a straight Democratic ticket than non-Jewish New Yorkers. How does the New York Post stay in business?

Here's the Post's take on the possibility that Democrats, the clear party preference of the voters of the city that surrounds the Post, might win a majority of the House of Representatives:

The November elections loom — as does the possibility of Democrats taking over at least one chamber of Congress.

That's a frightening prospect, given the records of some of those poised to take over key committee chairmanships.

Frightening, that is, to Americans who want to win the War on Terror.

As we noted last month, New York's own Charlie Rangel of Harlem — in line to become chairman of the House Ways & Means Committee — is a vociferous opponent of the Iraq war. And he minced no words in speaking to The Hill, the newspaper that covers Congress: "You've got to be able to pay for the war, don't you?"

In short, Rangel will do his best to cut off funding for the war should he rise to head the committee.

See it? The editorial starts by referring to "the War on Terror", then quickly turns to talking about funding "the Iraq war". The two are the same, says the New York Post. No, they're not.

How does the Post continue to exist in a Democratic city when it is so rabidly Rightwing Republican? Oh, there are of course some Rightwingers in New York and its suburbs, but most of the people who buy the Post do so to read the news, sports, and features, not the editorials, so either don't know about or at least pay no attention to the rabid Rightwing rants to be found there. Rush Limbaugh's talkradio show and the Fox News Channel are also headquartered in Manhattan. Makes all the Rightwing ranting about "liberal media bias" sound pretty ridiculous, doesn't it?

(The current U.S. military death toll in Iraq, according to the website "Iraq Coalition Casualties", is 2,747 — for Israel.)
