All of these "nations" can't even take out tiny Israel
Hussein talked about "The mother of all battles", and his troops surrendered en masse after 100 hours of ground war.
The evil bastards that killed over 7,000 Americans on September 11 sent us a message.
It was "Please kill us all and take our oil"
We will comply.
The radical Muslims may want a Jihad but what they will get...if they keep pushing us and the rest of the civilized world is the annihilation of their religion and culture. If the human race is to survive and advance long term we cannot allow such blinding hatred and violence from these bloodthirsty zealots to devolve into the world's Armageddon. If it does come down to a us vs. them situation I hope America has the backbone to introduce the militant Muslims of this world to their maker. Should be a lot of fun for them on that end. NOT!

One basic tenet of the Idea of America is "Religious Tolerance!"
We NOW learn that one of the Religions our Fathers fought for (& MANY Died for) has--as one of several of its Principle Tenets--assigned Itself the goal of Total World Domination and Elimination of All other organized Religions (by the slaughter of "Infidels" as needed)!
Our Fathers fought for a Free Nation with Religious Tolerance, But, instead, inadvertently allowed a poisonous band of Psychopaths to continue & expand!
It appears we must be HIGHLY SKEPTICAL of the so-called "faith" of "Islam," & assume its "followers" are NOT governed by normal "Western" concepts of "Justice, Faith, Humanity, Fairness, Mercy, Compassion, Honesty, Probity, Logic," or ANY other qualities associated with normal, civilized Human life!
"Islam" MAY have been a "Magpie," "Riding" the massive sacrifice of our Allied Troops-- now attempting to crush us with its utterly psychopathic "Laws," to attempt to re-create a "Totalitarian State" as we recover from the struggle to avoid just such a fate. "Out of the Frying-Pan, Into the Fire!!"
Nobody said maintaining Western Civilization was going to be Eazy!!

I have been trying to find out what faith Powell and Rice follow. Have you (or anyone else for that matter) ever seen any refrence to what their religious beliefs are?
Just wondering.

Both are true, but it depends upon the price. Muslims are seeking to militantly replace the worlds religions, but when they meet equivalent or overwhelming force they calm down and adopt less militant positions. (We must cause them to think of it like Tonto who surrounded by militant indians (westerners this time) is reported to have said "what you mean we, paleface")
I believe a serious extension of the military might of the western world will help the muslim faith begin to emphasize the more human aspects of Islam and you will find it hard to believe there were once many thousands of muslims crying "Death to America".
October 10, 732 AD marks the conclusion of the Battle of Tours, arguably one of the most decisive battles in all of history.
A Moslem army, in a crusading search for land and the end of Christianity, after the conquest of Syria, Egypt, and North Africa, began to invade Western Europe under the leadership of Abd-er Rahman, governor of Spain. Abd-er Rahman led an infantry of 60,000 to 400,000 soldiers across the Western Pyrenees and toward the Loire River, but they were met just outside the city of Tours by Charles Martel, known as the Hammer, and the Frankish Army.
Martel gathered his forces directly in the path of the oncoming Moslem army and prepared to defend themselves by using a phalanx style of combat. The invading Moslems rushed forward, relying on the slashing tactics and overwhelming number of horsemen that had brought them victories in the past. However, the French Army, composed of foot soldiers armed only with swords, shields, axes, javelins, and daggers, was well trained. Despite the effectiveness of the Moslem army in previous battles, the terrain caused them a disadvantage. Their strength lied within their cavalry, armed with large swords and lances, which along with their baggage mules, limited their mobility. The French army displayed great ardency in withstanding the ferocious attack. It was one of the rare times in the Middle Ages when infantry held its ground against a mounted attack. The exact length of the battle is undetermined; Arab sources claim that it was a two day battle whereas Christian sources hold that the fighting clamored on for seven days. In either case, the battle ended when the French captured and killed Abd-er Rahman. The Moslem army withdrew peacefully overnight and even though Martel expected a surprise retaliation, there was none. For the Moslems, the death of their leader caused a sharp setback and they had no choice but to retreat back across the Pyrenees, never to return again.
Not only did this prove to be an extremely decisive battle for the Christians, but the Battle of Tours is considered the high water mark of the Moslem invasion of Western Europe.
I'm humbled and proud to say that I am a direct descendant of Charles "the Hammer" Martel, may I live to see yet another defeat of the true "infidels"!
