Rudy's New Plan: A War On Websites

You really can't make this stuff up:

WASHINGTON — Mayor Giuliani will announce a new four-point war strategy in New Hampshire today, an effort to refocus a primary campaign season for Republicans that has centered in recent weeks less on foreign affairs and more on immigration and domestic issues.


Specifically, Mr. Giuliani will call for a new military surge in Afghanistan, a change in the way America's spies are promoted so that officers are rewarded for finding actionable intelligence and not just the number of agents they recruit, and a new war on Al Qaeda's intricate network of Web sites, sites used both to communicate with its agents in the field and to recruit new jihadis.

I can't wait to see the details on this one. What's next, an American version of the Great Firewall of China?

UPDATE: Wow. Check out the voiceover for Rudy's new ad:

An enemy without borders. Hate without boundaries. A people perverted. A religion betrayed. A nuclear power in chaos. Madmen bent on creating it. Leaders assassinated. Democracy attacked. And Osama bin Laden still making threats. In a world where the next crisis is a moment away… America needs a leader who’s ready.

BE AFRAID!!!! BE VERY AFRAID!!!!

UPDATE II: Wired's Threat Level watches the video so that you don't have to:

...there are brown people with guns. Bedsheets on fire. Perverted people. Muslim women in circles singing in a high register. Burning jeeps. A Muslim cleric with a beard and an upraised finger. The madman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad creating "it". Osama bin Laden issuing threats. A brown man has a head ache and someone assassinated Benazir Bhutto.
