Obama hasn’t responded to General McChrystal’s advice yet, has he?

[combat_boots]

What were the words? “If things get difficult, I will side with the Muslims.” (I might have a couple of those wrong, but the intent is correct).

Could a person not argue that it is critical to the strategy of effecting abject failure of the US military in the ME, so as to hasten Islamic preeminence? Then, we would be certain that military families would know who’s boss in this country.

If we lose in Afghanistan and the Taliban win, and they can combine with their brethren in Pakistan to get control over a nuclear weapon, and we will see an Al Qaeda look-alike with nukes. That's what Cheney and Bush were warning us about. India can't afford that, and they are quickly arming up. China can't afford it either.

Wrong. The Chinese have been explicit in saying to one another and to us, for the last 40 years, that they can afford a general thermonuclear exchange, and still prevail.

Some people think that's why the Chinese have been secret and not-so-secret proliferators. It's called "the borrowed knife strategy". Arm the crazies, start a general exchange among the designated losers, and then mop up.

we need to be using FAE’s and forget the ROE’s

"You can't have both"

In fact there is no trade off between them whatever. It is just an ideological fact that those committed to international retreat on the part of the entire west, are also committed to replacing merit and markets with handouts and victim politics domestically. There is a common self hating philosophy behind both. That is all. It is purely voluntary, every scrap of it.

[Article] Obama is now where he dreamed of being: Making a huge life-or-death decision on civilization. He has never shown any comprehension of America's strategic aims and doctrines in the last sixty years.

Beside the point. Obama was educated by Communists and Mau-Mau's.

HE DOESN'T CARE.

[ex-Texan]

Obama is acting like a total coward. Islamic fascists will take advantage of this little boy very quickly. Right now he is looking to the UN to solve his problems. Which makes him a world class idiot. Far better to have the world concerned about what you might do, than be confident you will do nothing but 'talk, talk, talk.'

Obama will go down in history as even worse than Carter. His total focus is on government health care i.e. ruining the health of millions of seniors.

0 follows the orders of Soros and other wealthy NWO creeps. The secret agenda calls for population control, eugenics, euthanasia, and wiping out 'all useless eaters.'

Obimbo looks like the skinny, 18 year-old, rent-a-cop at the bank to the thugs of this world. He poses no threat to them and his only speed is reverse.

[Hardastarboard]

This is THE best article I've read on this subject to date. It makes the situation crystal clear, and also the required course of action. I understand it, and I'm not strong in my understanding of foreign policy. I'd be willing to bet that Zero doesn't, and doesn't much care, mostly due to the broken lens of Marxist ideology that he sees the world through. Electing this clown was the WORST possible choice the American people could have made, and we're all going to pay dearly for it.

State Run Media lap dogs - are you happy? You mostly live in the cities and metropolitan areas that are going to suffer from Zero's stupidity. You deserve all the suffering this will bring.

No. OThuga is not in charge.

But he is certainly a very useful idiot puppet.

[Wyatt's Torch]

I have been saying ever since Obamarx got elected that millions of people will die because of him. I pray that I am wrong but fear that I am not. He is weak and is a coward but thinks he is 100% correct. That is the recipe for disaster.

Obambi said it himself not long ago.

[GOPJ]

Obama must be realizing by now that the chance of a major war in the Gulf next year is rising to 100 percent. Ahmadinejad will have nuclear weapons too, and he already has enough radioactive materials for a dirty nuke, a low-tech weapon that can spread terror everywhere in the world. The Left always puts the burden of proof for WMDs on America, which can never prove their existence because the CIA rarely can penetrate totalitarian regimes. You can't prove a negative. Ever. So the Left is always asking the impossible. It makes them sound reasonable when they are just sabotaging common sense.

If we go to war with Iran on their terms and time millions of us will die - just a guess...

Very poignant article. It points out the reality of doing nothing is not an option. One of the most serious times in all of American History and we have a Marxist community organizer trying to figure it out. May God help us all. . .

Maybe the Pentagon is just going on without him. All the necessary steps, etc. .

[Republic of Texas]

He the Muslim’s man on the inside. The enemy from within occupies the highest office in the land. We are going with a whimper. I’d say we deserved better, but I’m not sure we do.

[BIGLOOK]

Good points.

Our new RoE ought to be simplified. No Quarter.
