Translation from far-left into English:

“All terrorists are stupid.  The terrorists cannot hurt us.  Bush was trying to scare us.  This is Bush's fault.”

For jihadis living in America in 2010, life cannot get any more frustrating.  Jihadis get no respect from progressives.  American progressives look down their nose at both the Iraqi democrats and the jihadis.  Both the jihadis and the Iraqi democrats are completely upfront about their goals and world view, and progressives ignore the jihadis and hate the Iraqis.  Progressives in America are fixated on building their 90th bridge to nowhere and nationalizing their 9th major sector of the U.S. economy.
