Your statement implies that only conventional weapons are at our disposal.
2. The dems will eat us alive once all the body bags start coming home, making the world safe for Hillary, Kennedy and whatever future commies are hurled from our wonderful system of higher education.
See my previous response. One key-turn on a submarine can do a lot.
3. There are tens, maybe hundreds of millions of moderate Muslims who are disgusted by what is being done to their religion but stay silent or they and their families get the midnight garrot from moles planted throughout the world (note- see NJ) .
Yeah. I see them in those weekly street protests, shouting to the heavens.
4. The only way we can win this war against Muslim extremism is to encourage, support and align ourselves with these moderate Muslim elements and use them as front line of defense and offense against the jihadists.
I disagree. We can win this war by destroying our enemies, their families, their ideological supporters.
5. Medieval Islam can be pulled into the 21st century.
I disagree. Islam had a several-centuries head start on the Western world. It languishes in a state of violence and squalor. If you think a towel-head with a website and a penchant for press releases will change the world, you're a dhimi waiting to be subjugated. Do you, by any chance, have any basis in fact for your statement? You certainly can't use history. Sounds like an emotion with no factual basis to me.
6. Bush has made the right moves by helping facilitate modern democracies in both Afghanistan and Iraq. These can not only be used as examples but also sources of support in the coming war with the most extreme of Islamic/Wahhabists elements.
Just like the Saudis supported us this time around, after we saved them and their oil fields 15 years ago. Oh, that's right. They didn't.
7. All people thirst for democracy.
Then why have there been no Muslim democracies until we forced them on two countries just now? That's a simple enough question for a smart guy like you.
8. All people will defend those democracies if they believe they have at least a 25% chance of doing so. American support is worth 20%.
Once again, you're stating an opinion with no basis in fact. Your statement is unsupportable.
9. Defeatists are dangerous to the human spirit. The sap our energy and our will and must be opposed at every turn.
Muslims are dangerous to mankind.
Wow. Gurn, I respect your service to our country and I won't disrespect a veteran. All I will say is this kind of stragery is a chess game, not a round of checkers.
