Last I heard, Baghdad Bob changed his name and now works in the Enemy Espionage and Propaganda Center in Times Square, New York. His job is not in jeopardy.
I deal with our soldiers each and every day. I see just a small part of our current capablities. I have no doubt of the extent of hurt we can lay on somebody,whenever we need to.
Just more posturing by another of these clowns.
Tell me, how is the attitude back home regarding what we're doing over here? I hope the majority still understand what is necessary. I fear that too many are starting to forget 9/11.
Later
the people forgot about 9/11 two years after 9/11 now its NFL and Cook outs let the good times roll.

You keyboard kommandos really need to shut up and watch what the adults do.
I'm just starting to read "Guests of the Ayatollah". I'm preparing to be really angry at Jimmah and his gang. I've also been reading Vince Flynn's novels about how his protaganist, Mitch Rapp, deals with jihadists. They're also very interesting for how Rapp describes his dealings with politicians. He doesn't think much of them.
Even though it's the "silent majority" all over again, please keep on keepin on, because we love you man!!! And we root and pray for your success and safety every danged day!!! Without fail!!! And you can take that to the bank!!!
