In the final analysis, the USA has the physical power to kill every Muslim on the planet, and anybody who tries to stop us.
One or two, or a dozen dead US cities would not defeat us militarily, not even close.
But one billion dead Muslims would do a whole lot to discredit the RIFs.
Whether Americans would be willing to take such action is an entirely different question, and one I hope to never see.
and one I hope to never see ...you and me both, FRiend. Nothing good can come of it.
Terrorists are playing a game that they can't win. However, they'll consider it a victory so long as the US loses. That, combined with the fact there's not a hard target for the US to hit, makes this a difficult endgame indeed.
The additional fact that we're playing with one arm tied behind our back (Obama, and the overall leftist regime) makes it even worse. Tough to pull out a victory when your own coaching staff is rooting against you.
