<  ....you must know your enemy...>  
That's why I still read the NYT--not even a shadow of what it once was.

If you want to win a war....

   ....you must know your enemy and [1]his tactics if you are to succeed
   in conquering him.

     "Raiding American Forums is Among the Most Important Means of
     Obtaining Victory in the Fierce Media War and of Influencing the
     Views of the Weak-Minded American"
     "There is no doubt, my brothers, that raiding American forums is
     among the most important means of obtaining victory in the fierce
     media war... and of influencing the views of the weak-minded
     American who pays his taxes so they will go to the infidel American
     army. This American is an idiot and does not [even] know where Iraq
     is... [It is therefore] mandatory for every electronic mujahid [to
     engage in this raiding]."
     "It is better that you raid non-political forums such as music
     forums and trivia forums... which American people... favor...
     Define your target[ed forum]... and get to know it well... Post
     your contribution and do not get into... futile arguments..."
     Indicate You Are an American
     "Obviously, you have to register yourself using a purely American
     name... Choose an icon that indicates that you are an American, and
     place it next to your nickname [in the forum]."
     "In my experience, the areas most visited in American forums...
     [are titled] 'Random Thoughts' and 'What's going on in your
     mind?'... [The former] takes priority in the American forums, and
     is highly popular. You should post your contribution there... This
     should include films of the mujahideen in Iraq, mujahideen
     publications in English, and images and films of the Americans'
     crimes, [such as] killing unarmed civilians in Iraq... etc."
     "Invent Stories About American Soldiers You Have [Allegedly]
     Personally Known"
     "Obviously, you should post your contribution... as an American...
     You should correspond with visitors to this forum, [bringing to
     their attention] the frustrating situation of their troops in
     Iraq... You should invent stories about American soldiers you have
     [allegedly] personally known (as classmates... or members in a club
     who played baseball and tennis with you) who were drafted to Iraq
     and then committed suicide while in service by hanging or shooting
     themselves..."
     "Also, write using a sad tone, and tell them that you feel sorry
     for your [female] neighbor or co-worker who became addicted to
     alcohol or drugs... because her poor fiancé, a former soldier in
     Iraq, was paralyzed or [because] his legs were amputated... [Use
     any story] which will break their spirits, oh brave fighter for the
     sake of God..."
     How to Make Americans Feel Frustrated With Their Government
     "You should enter into debate or respond only if it is extremely
     necessary... Your concern should [only] be introducing topics
     which... will cause [them to feel] frustration and anger towards
     their government..., which will... render them hostile to Bush...
     and his Republican Party and make them feel they must vote ton
     bring the troops back from Iraq as soon as possible."
     "Do not... discuss issues pertaining to Arabs or Muslims at all,
     whether negatively or positively... because this could be a trap
     for you... In addition, do not ask people to circulate the material
     [you have posted] in other forums... as these types of requests
     will expose you..."

   Which came first? The chicken or the egg? Did the strategy of the
   Democrats inspire the jihadis?
   Many Americans are far too gullible. They take people at face value
   and believe the best about them. They think that people that are
   anti-war are sincere in their beliefs. Some are. (Quakers, for
   example.) But many are driven by other motives and portray themselves
   as anti-war simply because it strikes a chord with foolish people who
   do not think for themselves.
   Thus the communists sponsor anti-war rallies and some Americans join
   them, believing that to do so is merely an expression of their freedom
   of speech. But, to the organizers of those marches, they are much
   more. They are the perfect tool to undermine the US both here and
   abroad. By the time the fools that follow them figure it out, they
   hope it will be too late.
   The only thing stopping them is dedicated Americans taking a stand for
   freedom and denying them unopposed access to the media, the people and
   the government. That means getting involved -- attending the Gathering
   of Eagles, for example, launching support the troop movements or
   counter-protesting at their rallies. That means you, getting out of
   your comfort zone, suffering a little inconvenience for the good of
   your country and your children. That means getting involved, staying
   informed, talking to your friends and co-workers -- not allowing
   foolish comments to go unchallenged, not allowing false statements to
   go unopposed.
   The Bush administration has asked us to go about our daily lives -- to
   not allow the terrorists to alter our way of living. I think that's
   wrong. We are at war. We need to join the fight. The enemy is here,
   fighting us in the media, on the internet, with signs in our streets.
   It's time we take them on.
   Our troops have been fighting for four years. Isn't it time we joined
   them?
