I've been convinced for years — and said so in this forum a number of times..

We're going to be forced to kill a vast numbers of Pakistanis before the war against militant Islam can be won.

” We’re going to be forced to kill a vast numbers of Pakistanis before the war against militant Islam can be won. “

Given the mood of this country - the Libs and their Media Mouthpieces having done their job well - the Pakis are gonna have to kill an even vaster number of us before that can happen.....

I’d agree, If I hadn’t witnessed our reaction to 9/11.

True, the nation is overloaded with more than our share of fools, surrender monkeys and those who wouldn’t recognize a threat before being eviscerated or enslaved.

I remain convinced there are still sufficient numbers of Americans who WILL do what is necessary to preserve the Republic....

Knowing that, is exactly what has been keeping our enemy at bay since 9/11....
The price THEY paid wasn’t worth the thrill they had in killing a few thousand Americans

They are also aware — we have the means to deliver a level of destruction they can’t even imagine....which they would be powerless to prevent once we come after them.
