Not that a Dem president would ever actually DO anything. Don't you believe that.
If it were 1996 and Bill Clinton believed that his chances of re-election hinged completely on his stature as a "forceful military leader," he would have had no qualms about turning entire nations in the Middle East into glass. And the silence of @ssholes like Michael Moore and Ted Kennedy would be deafening.

If the Democrats aren't on Al Qaida's payroll they're getting gypped. ROTFLMAO!

"the decapitation has blown away the prisoner abuse
story"
That's true. After seeing that boy's head held in the hand of a masked terrorist everything else pales in comparison.

I couldn't agree more with your point 2. It's right on the money.
I'm not so sure about point one, though. Because of media censorship of any unpleasant actions taken by the terrorists, whoops, sorry, I mean "militants", most Americans remain blissfully ignorant. The only atrocity I keep hearing of happened at a prison in Iraq under our control.

Joining you in violating the "no violence in posts" rule.
IMHO, we should raise the black flag - no prisoners, no quarter, no mercy. If it has a rag on its head, kill it. Turn every "holy" city into a crater too radioactive to enter for the next 10,000 years.
(See my tagline) Islam is evil. Either we destroy it or we risk it destroying us.

Huh? It was the Left in his own party that drove Johnson from office and scuppered Humphrey in '68. What was idiotic and pointless about the Vietnam War was the way we waged it, not the underlying strategic analysis of the situation or the goals for which we fought.

Not to put too fine a point on it but Suetonius atributes the line to Caligula: "He often uttered the familiar line of the tragic poet [Accius, Trag., 203]: --- "Let them hate me, so they but fear me."[Suetonious, Caligula, xxx].
However since it was a line by a popular poet, it is probable that others used it also.

I think your analysis is correct. As a Christian nation, we will not be able to step up to the plate against this type of evil. I predict and have predicted that it will be Europe that will have to administer the blow against Islam after we depart the playing field. If we were to "win" (other than local battles) there will of necessity have to be a wider strategic look at the middle east. You cannot have Syria and Iran undermining every effort in Iraq or you have to fold your cards and go home and let the Bathist party regain their lost ground. We simply do not have an educated electorate that can deliver the courage (the votes and the dollars) continuously necessary to turn the middle east around. However, the Germans and the Russians will have no qualms about doing what will be necessary to return Islam back into the 12th century where they feel comfortable. Brutality on a scale uncontemplated by the USA will be necessary to keep civilization from returning to the 12th century with them. I just don't see us doing it. It has always been technology that has fronted Islam successfully, but it has to be wielded by someone willing to use it. Interested in your take on it.

The only atrocity I keep hearing of happened at a prison in Iraq under our control. People may not be as ignorant as you might think. Even CNN and NY Times polls showed that only 30% of the American public wanted Rumsfeld to resign in the wake of the "atrocities" in the Iraqi prison. And I wonder if a sizeable number of those 30% want Rumsfeld to resign because the Iraqi prisoners aren't being treated harshly enough.
Even "blissfully ignorant" people seem to sense that this country is well-served by a Secretary of Defense who isn't a very nice guy.

And yet even to this day the leftists in this country insist on calling Vietnam "Nixon's War" -- it's thirty freakin' years after the war ended, and they still can't bring themselves to admit that America's involvement in Vietnam began in the Kennedy administration and reached its peak level of activity and height of idiocy in the Johnson administration.

As a Christian nation, we will not be able to step up to the plate against this type of evil. This kind of statement does not follow. There is very little in this country that would indicate we are "Christian" in any way.

Something tells me that come June 1st...there will be a FEW prisoners...who would welcome dogs barking, hoods and another exciting round of TWISTER in the nude...once the new Iraqi prison guards are put into place...I was thinking the same thing yesterday. They may be wishing they had the Americans BACK!

Whenever the U.S. feels a need to do things like round up Japanese citizens in prison camps, drop atomic bombs on cities in Japan, send hundreds of thousands of soldiers to wage an idiotic, pointless war in Vietnam, etc. -- we're usually smart enough to use a Democrat to protect ourselves from leftist opposition.Get real. Those events were simply accidents of timing. All three of these Democrat presidents were elected (Truman as part of the ticket) because Mr. & Mrs. America thought they would get more in their wallets, not because of any desire for war things or to protect ourselves from leftists.

If it is not Bush thats chosen to be our daddy in Nov., better get new and better weapons because Kerry and the DNC are not interested in defending us. Agreed. Kerry would be a disaster, just like Clinton was.

Call me cynical, but I have a hard time believing that
anything of great importance in this country is a mere "accident of timing."
Regardless of WHY these people were elected, the point is that they were given a tremendous amount of latitude to engage in things that would be considered war crimes or at least gross injustices if they were carried out today.
