He postulates that if the West is seen as failing in Iraq, then fundaMENTAList Islam, fanatical Islam, crazy-as-sh*t Islam will decide to go all out against all the other -isms, including Muslims that don't toe the murderous psycho line, not just a Jews-Christians vs. Islam.

'Asked whether such a global religious war would be "Islam versus Christianity and Judaism combined," Lieberman, an orthodox Jew, said, "Islam against — fanatical Islam against Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, every other `ism,' every other religion, including every part of Islam that doesn't agree with these fanatics."'

This isn't a "holy war." Holy Joe is saying the West needs to suceed in Iraq to prevent it from becoming such. You don't have to like or even tolerate Lieberman, but at least keep his words in context. Otherwise, you're just going to make O'Lielly blush with pride for your budding spinning abilities.
