The Middle Eastern countries had nothing to do with our getting kicked off the Human Rights Commission. It was our allies that did that, because the members of the Commission are elected by region. Since the beginning, the West has been allowed three members. Our allies always nominated only three countries, and the United States was always one of them. This time, our allies nominated four countries, giving the rest of the General Assembly a chance to vote against us. They did it because the Bush administration was no longer supporting the European and Canadian radical human rights agenda, regarding homosexual rights and abortion. The Middle Easterners couldn't have controlled that if they had wanted to. And they can only control the nominees for the regions in which they vote. Besides, the Human Rights Commission doesn't really do anything, and certainly has nothing to do with defense. The only really powerful body is the Security Council, where we have a veto.
The rest of the article is just as far off base.
I can't believe that any person who was smart enough to orchestrate all of these events would be dumb enough to assume what kind of reaction he would get from the United States. As I've said many times on this forum, anyone who thinks the U.S. and Britain have sent five aircraft carrier groups to the Indian Ocean just to fire a few cruise missiles up a camel's @ss is naive.
As far as these Middle Eastern countries are concerned, the U.S. and Britain have a weapon that is far more destructive than bombs. It's called the ability to implement a naval blockade on an entire region of the world.
But there's other forces that have been waiting and planning for the right moment/opportunity, that have a loose affilation with Islam. Indigenous people and some blacks have been looking to these days with anticipation.
I was reluctant to write this but these are observations I've made and have held for several years. Ignoring the facts won't make them go away.
There are more than a few that were aware of something big comming down previous to the 11th.
I truely believe that the greatest threat is from within. If the armed forces get bogged down out-country in sufficiant enough numbers things are going to get rough and will never be the same.
What exactly are you saying?
Would you break this down for me?
Whatever his goals are, he is a deadman...
I'll show you respect because you joined on my birthday. ;^)
Please pray tell us, why the article is "far off base"? And, please give us specifics?
You can't. Everything the writer describes will happen. Remember, it was only 60 years ago, they were using ovens.
As if Islamic fundamentalists will want to have anything to do with some baggy-panted thug with an L.A. Lakers jersey and limited verbal skills.
Thank God for the 2nd Amendment.
In fact, if things get crazy, you're going to see legislation for sale of automatic weapons to the public.
Or at the very least, the government will have to look the other way.
I believe we need to destroy this enemy. And, afterwards, the Islamic Hierchary will have to disavow any connection with the recently deceased Taliban, and more importantly, their extremist interpretations of the Koran.
That's, after they will be forced to eat a Big-Mac and fries.
Sure, no problem.

The use of whatever is at hand or at your disposal was already demonstrated several weeks ago.
Anything can be a weapon.
