And if it's religion, are they following a manual of war contained in their scripture?

Hmmm...ya think so? I'm glad Captain Obvious is finally on the case.

"Muhammad's behaviors today would be defined as radical,"

Ya' think?

[PeteB570]

'Bout time.

Today we are confronted with a stateless threat that does not have at the strategic level targetable entities: no capitals, no economic base,,"

If they are really this ignorant, they are not even yet on the learning curve.

Now for the first time, a key Pentagon intelligence agency involved in homeland security is delving into Islam's holy texts to answer whether Islam is being radicalized by the terrorists or is already radical. Military brass want a better understanding of what's motivating the insurgents in Iraq and the terrorists around the globe, including those inside America who may be preparing to strike domestic military bases.

It's now 4 years since 9/11 and they're just NOW looking at the Quran to see if Islamic terrorists might be following Islam accurately?!

"Today we are confronted with a stateless threat that does not have at the strategic level targetable entities: no capitals, no economic base, no military formations or installations," states a new Pentagon briefing paper I've obtained.

Mecca and Medina are the capitols.

They have known all along, just are now saying publicly.

[weegee]

Maybe they will wake up to this in a moment of clarity...

They have known all along, just are now saying publicly.

I'm not sure which ways bothers me the most. Before the Iraq invasion I had serious doubts about it, not on the basis of the peace nuts that are clueless regarding evil but on the basis that Islam is inherently and aggressively violent and not very compatible with democracy. I doubted our exit strategy of building a democracy in Iraq (although it's gone far better than I ever expected so far). The problem is, the only way for democracy to flourish is to move people away from Islam...something that seems unlikely for our, or any, government to be able to do. So if they understood this before starting then I wonder at their judgment, if they didn't understand it at the beginning I wonder at their preparation. Of course, at this point we're in with both feet and the only way out MUST be through victory.

QUOTE: "Western leaders can no longer afford to overlook the "cult characteristics of Islam."

Perhaps a Kool-Aid solution?

[Aquinasfan]

Four years into the war on terror, U.S. intelligence officials tell me there are no baseline studies of the Muslim prophet Muhammad or his ideological or military doctrine found at either the CIA or Defense Intelligence Agency, or even the war colleges.

This is either gross negligence or kowtowing to political correctness. Neither is a legitimate excuse for this dereliction of duty.

True, but democracy can serve this end. Democracy contradicts the caliphate. Hopefully the acceptance of democracy will habituate Mohammedans to disregarding other Mohammedan teachings.

[G.Mason]

P/C is undoubtably a factor in the fight against Islam.

The fact that there are over 1,000,000,000 [ONE BILLION] of these human defectives running around in the world (approximately 1,000,000 [ONE MILLION] in the U.S.A.) may, undoubtedly, be a factor in why politicians, world wide, are kissing their backsides.

Now ... How does one get one billion in one place, and at one time, for an X-Ray photograph?

[MadeInAmerica]

OMG, they are just now looking into this? Are these people that ignorant to reality?

Good lord you idiots.....read a few friggin history books. It might clue you old fools in to Mohammad the "killing machine" and his followers.
