“You know what.... Let the middle east just kill each other. They will never, ever stop. Tell them that they are on their own and if they decide to attack Israel or the U.S. well nuke them off the planet. And mean it.”

Maybe it’s time for the countries over there like the Saudis to get their hands dirty for once and start policing their own neighborhood.

It makes you want to kill yourself.

Ping to Mullah Baraq: take the hint

How can you catch someone “off guard” when you weren’t “on guard” to begin with?

On Fox yesterday--I think on Megyn Kelly's show--they played a clip of 0 saying this, and juxtaposed it to what happened in Iraq.

VERY powerful!

I think they rely too much on electronic means as opposed to humans on the ground.

They are a reflection of the culture in Washington. The analysts are only as good as what their worldview allows them to see.

Bomb Mecca and it’s over. Not kidding. That black rock sitting in that shrine down there.

Islam believes that its invincible. It can’t be brought down and never will be.

You take that out, and Islam falls.

Sounds simplistic, but there are few that understand ME Islam at its roots. These aren’t learned, sophisticated people in a religion that withstands fundamental questions about the dogma that underpins it.

In the Carribean, we took on about 300 Haitians to repatriate them back to Haiti back in 1991 or so. Maybe 1992. They started getting rowdy on the forecastle, so one of the BM2s got the ‘Oscar dummy’ we used for man overboard drills (you hoist the ‘oscar’ flag in the mast to signify to all ships you have a M.O.).

He threw it on the deck and started beating and stabbing it.

End of unrest. Period.

People in the developed world take their freedom to openly question religion for granted. It’s not done in most of the world. You buy in, and that’s it.

Oliver North was interviewed this morning and he said that veterans are contacting him and talking about suicide due to whats happening in Afghanistan and Iraq. The blood of these men will forever be on the hands of Obama and his minions.

Why is anyone shocked?

We can’t even defend our own southern border.
