What force structure would that look like?
'Good Question' PING
Moreover, the disturbing answer is CLEARLY found in the Koran.
Cannoneer No. 4 is doing his/her best to convince us Islam, aka the "Religion of Peace," (ahem, parroting that other famous statesman) actually IS, while morphing all Muslims into political martyrs and and doe-eyed innocents EVER SINCE THE PORT UAE DEAL WAS SQUELCHED.
Barf.
I sure hate it for ya.
We will be in Iraq for a long time, but not at the troop strength we are now.
Depending on where you get your news, Phase IV is finally going right. Maybe some Americans paid attention to Brigadier Alwyn-Foster.
All these genocide advocates think their safety is worth putting making good soldiers SS-Oberschützen.
Interesting read, thank you.
You're welcome.
I must be doing good work. People feel the need to lie about me.
Thanks for the motivation. I was getting tired of the subject.
The religion itself with the false prophet himself as it's spiritual leader IS the problem!
What do we think about a man who has his detractors killed and then "mercifully" FORGIVES the killers?
Personally I choose Jesus. WAY better prophet and role model. I believe He would call out the sins of the REAL infidels..and yes they would kill him again.
Indeed. EXCELLENT work. Congratulations. /sarc
I didn't say it wasn't, what I said was that Phase IV was going to be the hardest and the longest part.
Also we still have a long journey ahead of us.
The reason we are starting to see some success i.e tribal groups turning against the foreign terrorists is because we concentrated on winning there hearts and minds while the terrorists were only interested in causing destruction and mayhem.
You aim, too, please. Pilgrims with short muskets should stand closer to the target.
All we do is repeat what any Saudi imam would say.
Any Muslim imam anywhere would tell you that the jihadis are saints and martyrs fighting the 'crusaders and zionists'. Muslim history has these repeating patterns of 'back to the desert' purists. The Almohads, the Almoravids, the Wahhabis, the Senussi, etc.
To believe in 'moderate Islam' for no higher reason than greed is the purest wishful thinking.
My solution: 1.) As a People, a Nation and as a government policy, crack down on Muslims and stop making excuses for their incredibly bad behavior. A religion that preaches violence is not a religion, rather it is a cult and we should not be ashamed to confront its evil nature.
2.) Stop welcoming them to our universities and giving them a platform to spread more hate.
3.) Act as a nation at war, which we are. Not believing our enemies' sworn promise to destroy us makes us too vulnerable. We have a right and a duty to protect ourselves. Instead, we invite the enemy into our midst and attempt to show them how tolerant we are. Bad tactic.
4.) Make a distinction between U.S. Citizens and those who are here illegally and stop subsidizing their crime, and their drain on the system.
5.)Stop telegraphing our every move to defend ourselves, and really do it by tightening our borders, especially our immigration weaknesses.
6.) When someone commits a crime (such as running over students) make the punisnment swift and furious and don't photograph their smirking face and give them a platform to preach their insidious hate!
7.) Congress needs to be called to account for the way they behave.They are too busy crabbing among each other, peeing away our treasure on selfish pork projects attached to other legislation, they pay little attention to our defense on all levels. Each piece of legislation should cover only one subject, NO amendments about other items. (The Line Item Veto will NEVER pass because neither party can stand the thought of a President vetoing some silly selfish amendment they wish to cram up his butt!) The great two party system whom so many love is the biggest reason nothing gets done in Washington. It's adversarial rather than cooperative and most legislation is screwed up due to the egos of the legislators rather than what's right for the Nation.
It's hard to believe that less than five hundred and fifty people that "we've elected" can screw things up so horribly for the many millions of us who call this wonderful country HOME! We go dutifully to the polls each year and pretend we're in control. Sad!
Even knowing how wimpy we've become as a citizens, I think our Founding Fathers would be appalled at our willingness to endure such poor "leadership". The system is simply not responsive to the citizens any longer. (If one believes the "polls" maybe that's a good thing.)
I cringe at the notion that we might return the House and Senate to Democrat control just to experience a change from what we've got now. The guarantee they promise is that they have no better solutions nor the courage to effect reasonable or meaningful change.
8.) Don't know how to stop it but the screaming march to Globalism by the rich and powerful who control our money supply has caused us to embrace too many backward nations and ideologies that are not spiritually evolved enough to join with us. We may want their bodies and their labor and their potential purchasing power, but their problems and weird beliefs come along with that package. Too expensive!! Too idealistic!! We can't afford to partner up with everyone. We too easily have lost big chunks of our National Identity. Globalists hate Nationalism. I prefer call it National Pride and too much innocent young blood was shed for it to be bartered away so easily by rich, powerful people who "know best"
It's a nice fuzzy thought that if we are all tied to each other economically, that we will all learn to "get along". Ain't gonna happen. Can't be forced. People can seem to get along, but governments do a really crappy job for some reason.
(/Disjointed Rant, /Cynicism, /Frustration)
There are plenty of unfree countries that are helping us with the War on Islamofacism, and plenty of free ones that aren't. France anyone?
Strategy and freedom are orthogonal.
Excellent point.
