Media Bias Fact Check (Jerusalem Post):
Overall, we rate The Jerusalem Post Right-Center biased based on editorial positions that favor the right-leaning government. We also rate them Mostly Factual for reporting, rather than High due to two failed fact checks.
Same mistake Bin Laden made. He thought 9/11 would open Americans eyes to its imperialism and rise up against their government or some stupid shit like that. They always underestimate how much Americans love solving issues by throwing bombs at them.
No, Bin Laden believed the US was a fallen and sinful nation, and that our reaction would isolate us from our allies in the Arab World. He wasn’t an anti-imperialist, he was just a religious fanatic who was assmad that the Saudis cozied up with US infidels.
He was only accidentally correct, for that matter. Our initial reaction against Afghanistan did not isolate us from our allies in the Arab World. The later, unrelated invasion of Iraq did.
Kickin’ Ass!
Kickin’ Ass is what we do!
Kickin’ Ass!
The iron foot in the velvet shoe.
We don’t care whose ass we kick;
if we’re ever all alone
we’ll just stand in front of the mirror
and try and kick our own.
