The law of fights with bullies, well stated.

In fact it worked so will for the Egyptians in 1973, that to this day they celebrate the Yom Kippur War - a crushing defeat at the hands of Israel - as a military victory! No kidding... it's a national holiday over there!

Now I know where the demonRATS got their victory in defeat strategery. It is all beginning to make sense now. Thanks for the post.

I had such a fight in grade school. There was a bully in the class above me. Each day as we marched from our school to the park a block away for recess, he bullied someone. The teachers would interfere, but never disciplined him.

One day it was my turn (we'd just reached the park). He swatted me on the back of the head. By the time I was done he was on the ground pleading that I stop. I told the teacher who pulled me off him that I wouldn't stand bullying. I was never disciplined, either.

That was a long time ago, though, and people look at things differently today. It's unfortunate.

Great story. I think he totally made up that bar fight, but hey... it's a great story! LOL! And it's true. The Arab world needs to be brought down hard and made to say "I surrender."

And this is why Ann was/is correct in her description of the widows and why she will come out on top (freudian slip .. oops) after sanity once again descends upon the American psyche.

For too long, evil has prevailed .. and good men and women are no longer doing nothing.

God, (continue to) bless America

Has always been my philosophy...Never turn your back on your opponent while he's still able to get up...

This piece is sound advice for Israel...I hope they take it...

Every once in a while in the history of the civilized, it is necessary to prune back the poison ivy of Islam, and uproot it where possible. Now it's Israel's turn. I hope they stack the dirty SOBs like cordwood.

Absolutely right and appropriate.

[With all the MSM's snickering over Bush's inadvertantly mic'ed comments yesterday, jackoffs like Andrea Mitchell, Olberman, et al. forgot to add that he was RIGHT.....Syria & Iran ARE at the bottom of this, and enabling a bunch of neanderthals, and Kofi Annan is a Class-A1, incompetent, bungling, Third World buffoon, that should be fighting off dogs for his dinner while picking through garbage at the edge of some tin-roofed African shanty town]

I agree about Ann and the fact we are no longer doing nothing!

Keep the pressure on CONgress though. They will have us surrender the second they feel they can slip it through.

Once the war is well underway and you are in the process of having your ass handed to you... get a few world powers to force your western opponent into a cease fire.

They summed up most of the Arab-Israeli fighting in just one sentence.

Geeez, doc .. stop using all that fancy medical talk and tell us what you really mean?

Excellent diagnosis and proper rx, imo.

Excellent what he wrote there. I can see it all easily and the comparison is a great thing to set in people's minds. Grew up with brothers and I remember well that fights they had with each other, their buddies over something and how raw and savage it could get between just boys scraping. Dang feminist women in this country telling boys not to fight for 40 years, sissyfying-em - dang em all. This is what God put in men to keep it all in check.

carefully timed punches that were cutting his head to tatters... right down to the skull in places.

2 questions

1.Is this remotely plausible? I mean I am supposed to beleive that bare fists to the head would have caused damage like this?

2. Are there any Marines out there who think one of his own would let a sailor get the better of him like this?

"This is one time an Arab aggressor must be allowed to be beaten so badly that every civilized nation will stand in horror, wanting desperately to step in and stop the carnage... but knowing that the fight will only truly be over when one side gives up and finally admits defeat. Just as every person who had ever rescued that bully from admitting defeat helped create the cowardly brute I saw that evening in the bar, every well-intentioned power that has ever stepped in and negotiated a ceasefire for an Arab aggressor has helped create the monsters we see around us today. ... [snip] ... As much as it may sicken the world to stand by and watch it happen, strong hands need to hold back the weak-hearted and let the fight continue until one side finally admits unambiguous defeat."

NAILED IT!
