Thom Shanker of the Times quoted the paragraph beginning with "Muslims do not 'hate our freedom'" (see above), but he or his editors deliberately cut out the following sentence about what Muslims do object to; i.e., U.S. "one-sided support in favor of Israel and against Palestinian rights" and support for tyrannical regimes.

Captain, that phrase was planted into GW's empty head by...

the likes of Bernard Lewis, David Frum, Nathan Sharanski and other Zionist hacks to ensure he would embark on his criminal crusade. That piece of disinformation has cost the US a lot. Obama is the only person right now that can restore America's stature to that of a world leader.

Obama is a long-term planner and a visionary. During his campaign against Hillary he said he wanted to do what Ronald Reagan did and that was to change the TRAJECTORY of American politics. Obama is not looking to Israel to provide him with answers. The US, this time has the answers and Israel must go along, albeit with tremendous amounts of chrill fear mongering.

I'm looking forward to hearing his speech in Egypt. He is going to sangeh tamoom bezareh.

Excerpts

Excerpts:

Why They Hate Us

Cheney’s explanation of a motive mostly reprised George W. Bush’s old
“the terrorists hate our freedoms” canard. Cheney said the terrorists hate “all the things that make us a force for good in the world — for liberty, for human rights, for the rational, peaceful resolution of differences,” an odd set of qualities for Cheney to cite given his roles in violating constitutional rights, torturing captives and
spreading falsehoods to justify invading Iraq.

 

But that’s also where Cheney slipped up. You didn’t notice?  Well, Cheney couldn’t resist expanding on the complaints of the terrorists:

 

“They have never lacked for grievances against the United States.  Our belief in freedom of speech and religion…our belief in equal rights for women…our support for Israel… — these are the true sources of resentment…”
