The article is a little short on the discussion of SA and oil. This seems to be at the center the current situation.

We can act like it until people understand the nature of the war. And it isn't about the Allies in Iraq.

"Yasser Arafat, replete with holster and rants at the U.N., had become a “moderate” and was thus free to steal millions of his good-behavior money. If Hamas got European cash, it would become reasonable, ostracize its “military wing,” and cease its lynching and vigilantism"


They extort millions upon millions fo dollars from the G-8 and still turn around and bomb the cr*p out of our innocent civilians while their own leaders RICH(wasteful) BEYOND wildest dreams live in umpteen gold trimmed palaces and treat their peasants like door mats. Yeah, (sarcasm) that makes a whole lot of sense to me.

How can he say that India is free of terrorism when the islamists are blowing them up over Kashmir? Uninformed.

One thing about this current meme of expanding attacks. I wonder if this is the Islamo-cysts strategy, to widen the war and increase pressure on those they perceive as weak. If they succeed in that, the hope is that the weaker West will work against the stronger West to convince us to stop killing the perpetrators and their supporters.

I think VDH has caught the important angle here, that what used to be called NATO is at a decision point. We will either unite to crush these animals, or we will fracture, weaken and be driven away, leaving a couple billion people subject to slavery.

I think that the mood in the UK is changing, and for the better. But I am not confident that the strong outnumber the weak in Europe any more. Before long, it may be us, the Aussies, and some of the former Pact nations left to face this down.

VDH is awesome, but I do believe Islamists have indeed been arrested in China for plotting. I remember reading something about it (I know that's not much of a reference) but we don't hear much about it because China doesn't have a free press and probably doesn't like to brag about what they do to anyone suspected of plotting against the state.

This article is great. We have to keep killing the jihadists until all of them are dead or the remaining ones surrender. Surrender must include renouncing all of their fatwas and jihads. We should worry less about collateral damage. Wars result in collateral damage. If we'd tried to end WWII by hitting only military targets, we'd have been fighting the war for many more years and only brought more misery to ourselves and the Japanese.

"--- Islamicists are selective in their attacks and hatred. So far global jihad avoids two billion Indians and Chinese, despite the fact that their countries are far tougher on Muslims than is the United States or Europe. In other words, the Islamicists target those whom they think they can intimidate and blackmail. ---"
-VDH-



They don't "think", they know..

We will continue to be terrorised until we go after the Islamic leadership with no holds barred, no quarter given.

Ask our own leaders why this has not been done.
