[Knitting A Conundrum]

Thread 4



Since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, our nation has fought a global war against violent extremists who use terrorism as their weapon of choice, and who seek to destroy our free way of life. Our enemies seek weapons of mass destruction and, if they are successful, will likely attempt to use them in their conflict with free people everywhere. Currently, the struggle is centered in Iraq and Afghanistan, but we will need to be prepared and arranged to successfully defend our nation and its interests around the globe for years to come. DOD

Our enemies include all the Muslims who dream of knocking Western Civilization off its perch atop humanity’s dung heap. Islam is fractured into any number of sects, tribes and ethnic groups, but the dream of destroying us cuts across all the fault lines. Islamic terrorists are merely the tip of a very large spear.

J. Peter Mulhern, the American Thinker, September 18

The determination behind that fight is real, the hatred is real, and the excuses for doing this are very real in the minds of those who have decided to walk that path. We can respond in two ways: Try to ignore or negotiate with people who do not want to negotiate in good faith, because what they want is our destruction, or to stand up against the darkness of those who see all of us, our way of life, our culture and our aspirations as something worth eliminating.

Either: "And God willing, with the force of God behind it, we shall soon experience a world without the United States and Zionism," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

Or: "With vigilance, determination, courage, we will defeat the enemies of freedom, and we will leave behind a more peaceful world for our children and our grandchildren." GW Bush.

Here's where I will post news and info about the Long War. Let me know if you're interested.

Hamas: Israel will be wiped off the map

Well some things are very consistent in the world of Islam.

Good morning, Workerbee...

You’re up early — even for you.... ;~)

Gaza and Lebanon heating up simultaneously — Israel, once again, stuck in the middle.... (While they’re in the middle of a governmental upheaval, if not crisis)...

And Paris is going to jail after all....

We live in dangerous times.....

Yup - meds give me insomnia.

[Uncle Ike]

” meds give me insomnia. “

Yah — there is that..

No insomnia here — I gotta (ugh) work today... (Not early-early, thankfully...)

Had a 4-day-weekend, and now, back at ‘em... Found out that 4 days ain’t nearly enough to recharge — guess I’m just getting old.. ;~)

The Schedule Pixie will have her little joke, though — I work today, then off (scheduled days off for the week) Tuesday and Wednesday....
