The key event in starting this world war - for that is what it nearly is now and the Islamic combatants are very open about their intention of forcing - was Western dependence on Saudi oil and a sense on the part of very wealthy oil magnates that Islamic charity included financial support for jihad. This preceded the state support for Shi'ite Islamism on the part of Iran by a couple of decades, but the effect was the same in both cases: an incredible amount of money in the hands of Islamic fascists (I prefer Bush's locution as well).

It took a long time to get a handle on the oil dependency but we're nearly there, no thanks to the current administration. But four decades of funding and propaganda support for this, and the Soviets as well had a lion's share of the blame, have left the world with too much money and too many weapons in the hands of burn-the-world religious psychotics.

There is simply no negotiation possible. These are not reasonable people, they can't be bought off with concessions, they can't be lived with. One of the principal advantages of the Iraq conflict was that we could choose the ground on which to fight them. That we gave up for the illusion of peace.

At the moment they have the inestimable advantage of military initiative - they get to choose the where and when of the fight. If U.S. strategists have determined that a foreign field is too difficult and expensive, then we must accept that the fight will be on our grounds and their terms, and prepare for that. Because they want a fight and have the means to force one, as we see before us now.

Sir, you are correct!

America first must be willing to jettison Political Correctness and Name our Enemy! ISLAM

On April 19th 1951 Douglas MacArthur warned us that “In War, there is no substitute for Victory”. Today we have gone beyond where MacArthur couldn't imagine; we can't even name our enemy.

How can success be possible if we are not determined to win a victory and we won't name the enemy?

I call for only deploying our military might, except in emergency situations where acting immediately will save life and property, with a Declaration of War!

President Bush could have easily gained a Declaration of War had he requested Congress to act! Why did he not do so?

Nathan Bedford Forrest said it best: “War Means Frighten and Frighten Means Killing”. Our strategy and tactics must reflect only one end state; Victory!

We have not won a war since WWII. It was the last Declared War and the last we fought to utterly annihilate the enemy.

America must stop trying to appease Europe and forget what the world thinks. We should only join the fight to win and our strategy is complete annihilation.
