Call me a simpleton, but I don’t think one needs to read a book to know what they’re all about:
They want power to the point where they can dominate anyone that interferes with their desires.
Only one way to deal with them: kill them wherever they crawl.

Okay, you're a simpleton. Perhaps the oldest and most basic of all military maxims is that one should understand the enemy.

His intentions, his capabilities, his motivations.

The greatest generals always fought the enemy and in particular his leadership, not his weaponry. See R.E. Lee. The surge has worked, to the extent it has, largely because of changes in tactics based on a better understanding of how the enemy operates, not because of increased manpower applied in the same old inefficient way.

9/11 happened because we didn't understand this enemy, and therefore drastically underestimated him.

I just saw Reuters headline that said “House blocked Iraq war funding, and makes schedule to bring troops home.” The Appropriations Committe gave Bush funding afterwards, but set June 2009 to change troops from combat to training the Iraqis and support. Now some GOPs added extra spending to the New Funding and it could cause Bush to veto. He’ll have money for about a month for troops according to Reuters article. I just don’t see any FIRE in the GOP this time around, and without being fired up to win look out!

The horses rear-ends won’t even wait for the election.
Nancy Pelosi at the helm of a sinking ship...she thinks she’s President, and isn’t waiting. These dem BUZZHEADS will destroy National Security in America.

Bush can’t even visit Israel without the mad dogs foaming at the mouth to get into control. Obama saying he’ll sit down with Ajminajab in Iran is like trying to make a deal with the devil, and knowing in advance he’s lying through his teeth. What a chaotic disaster this bunch will make.
