More insight from Robert Spencer:
When will official Washington stop mistaking wishes for facts? When will there come a politician, Republican or Democrat, with the guts to call jihad what it is and do what is necessary to fight it? When will the outmoded, inadequate models of realpolitik, constructed for other wars against other foes, be discarded?

Or will we simply continue on this path of concession and negotiation with those who would subjugate us until they succeed in reducing us all to dhimmi status, and only then will we finally realize that they all along considered the willingness to negotiate a weakness to take advantage of, rather than a sign of good will?

The Retreat

I'm shocked, shocked that Abu Mazen is not satisfied with the Gaza giveaway. The always pithy Robert Spencer sums it up:
Neville Chamberlain, call your office: it seems the Sudetenland won't be enough.
