I'm not missing the point at all. The point is that people who complain about labels and speeches are missing the point. During the Cold War, there were no regular speeches made while our intelligence people were fighting day in and day out. We are fighting the terrorists wherever they are; we're just not on the tube yakking about it for the weak-willed. ACTIONS are important, not politicians saying "Yes, it is a war against militant Islam," which would achieve zero, for the beenfit of those who need sloganeering to make them feel better.

The people who want everything done like a movie, with fiery rhetoric, are the ones missing the point.

"During the Cold War, there were no regular speeches made while our intelligence people were fighting day in and day out."

During the cold war we had no problem calling communism the evil ideology it is. We didn't have legions of apologists defending every outrageous thing communists did and blaming ourselves for their behavior. We knew who the enemy was. Now the country is divided. Half recognize the danger of Islam, the other half mindlessly defends Islam. We are fighting with one hand tied behind our back.

If you think we can win like that fine, but I don't think we can.

"We are fighting the terrorists wherever they are..."

Not true, we enabled them in the Balkans and we let them roam free unimpeded, its not a question of military capability but rather political will. The general US polity is afraid to pull the trigger where need be and instead, we search for the most politically expedient approach.

Enough is enough, we're either in this to win or we're not, no half-assed measures, its that simple.

There is something wrong that we are succeeding the fight against these ragheads just as you say, (I called them ragheads) and I agree with you. However, then why are we linked up with them in the Balkans and helping them cleanse out Serb Christians from their own land? This is what we are talking about. I had many U.S. Army Officers in my five years living there in Kosovo, to visit my office in private complaining and disillusioned about our policy of letting the Albanian terrorist go.

The U.S. Officers that were pissed off about our policy from Monteith and Bondsteel did not like our screwed up policy and counted the days that the 6 month rotation was finished. We allowed the murder of Serbs, Roma and other Albanians since 1999. We being the international powers that be....from UN, KFOR and our policies as well. I saw on more than one Embassy party Xhavit Haliti, Ceku, Ramush H. and even Thaci invited to the parties, celebrations..etc....they are Mafia and former KLA leaders who were responsible for the murder of hundreds of Serbs during the KLA days in the same, exact same manner that the Serb war criminals are also accused of....these are the cold hard facts......
