Sorry folks, but I can no longer lend my support to the War on Terror. I'm tired of being lied to by our elected leadership. What am I talking you about, you ask? Specifically, when I'm a told by the President of the United States, that Islam is a "Religion of Peace".
How am I supposed to square that statement with reality? How am I supposed to support the decision and policies of our government in waging war when our leaders can't even begin to tell the truth about the enemy we're fighting?
If the president fears he may offend someone by telling it like it is, namely that we are at war with Islam, then we may as well pack up and send our troops home.
Although not a great fan of Louis Farrakhan (just between you and me, I think the man is nuts) I viewed a video of the man giving a talk in Fresno some years ago. He made a comment concerning truth, and I paraphrase, "If you're hurt by the truth, then you must be the guilty party".
If the Islamic community is hurt by the truth of their so-caled religion of peace, then they are the guilt party, and until our leaders start telling the truth abou this gutter religion, I'll have to refrain from supporting the cowardly facade they call the War on Terror.
P.S. And for any assclowns who might bemoan and decry that my argument is not supportive of the troops, kiss my grits.
You must at least be getting a giggle out of the "Troll" stuff so far.
To quote an old MASH episode...
... in this case, perhaps the jack acid test.
What you sayin'...The War on Terror is just as legitimate as the War on Drugs...
Yes I would think that his working for a defense contractor in SA makes him a collaborator with the ROP given his statements above.
How about the front that splits red state American from blue state America?
We cannot fight a "vigorous war on every front" when we're hamstrung by defeatist liberals and Democrats.
Place blame where it is due. Quit dropping dumb bombs on your own side.
I really don't like grits.
Are you looking through my monitor? LOL.
When Iraq was begun, a very respected general (Shinseki) told us we would need a contingent of a half-million troops to do the job and was fired for his advice...IMHO, those troops are STILL needed and, should we lose Iraq, future terror campaigns will make 9/11 seem like a mischievous prank.
Most asinine about he responses you've been getting from "IBNBFZ" assclowns is not only do they know nothing, they've been nothing.

President Bush Discusses Terror Plot Upon Arrival in Wisconsin
"The recent arrests that our fellow citizens are now learning about are a stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists who will use any means to destroy those of us who love freedom, to hurt our nation. ... Again, I appreciate the close cooperation between our government and the government of the United Kingdom. The American people need to know we live in a dangerous world, but our government will do everything we can to protect our people from those dangers."

You know, you're right.
Why is it when we know a small village is full of terrorists, do we send young men into to fight door-to-door and get killed? Why don't we use our air force more?
Then of course there is what happened to Pantano. We need to give these American soldier the benefit of the doubt.
Having spent many years in Saudi Arabia, I would suggest that he not post statements like these while in Kingdom. The Saudis monitor all electronic traffic out of the country very closely.
I do know gentle and peaceful muslims. They really do exist. Sadly, they can't bring themselves to stand up to the Islamic fascists, nor do they have the courage to turn to a religion that better exemplifies their beliefs. They are stuck in neutral and do nothing, while their religion rots away around them.
Well for his sake I hope he's using the NIPRNET and not the commercial ISP that is in his villa....

We're on the same frequency.
To France you must go!
O.k. Goodbye. See ya.
