"Flexibility"
Posted on 11/14/2015 5:10:26 AM PST by ilovesarah2012
Fox News reports that jihadi web sites are rejoicing over today’s terrorist attacks in Paris. The line we have heard more than once from ISIS-related sites is, “The American blood is best, and we will taste it soon.†The French are tougher than many realize, but they are not the primary targets of Muslim extremists.
This morning, in a burst of bad timing, Barack Obama said on ABC that ISIS is “contained.†Far from being contained, ISIS is on a roll, from the Sinai, where they apparently brought down an airplane full of Russian tourists, to Paris, France.
No one can seriously doubt that ISIS, and other Muslim terrorist groups, are doing all they can to attack the United States. We, meanwhile, are welcoming enormous numbers of immigrants from Islamic countries, and have gone “open borders†so that anyone can enter the United States from the south. What reason is there to think that Islamic terrorists will not enter across our unguarded borders and organize attacks similar to, or worse than, what France experienced tonight? None.

Yes, it seem obvious but there are even GOP candidates who campaign against Bush’s strategy.
It was the high point in fighting the Islamicsts - over there. Hillary and Obama lost it.
Europe is paying the price now.
They already hit us yesterday. Again.
They specifically targeted a very well known and popular American band’s performance. They did their research.
When the Islamists and their allies have succeeded in keeping the contest in the political realm, they can do very well, because there are a lot of people ideologically committed to the notion that the West needs to be engineered in various different directions politically. When it comes to a physical contest, this is simply not the case. They lose. In fact, they get their butts kicked. There is an admirable resilience in that they keep coming back but in fact, they tend to lose. A lot.
In Iraq in a simple physical contest the United States and its allies had a 25/1 kill ratio over the best the jihadists had. That's an interesting number when one considers the claim, "you can't kill all 1.2 billion of them!" There are 330 million Americans. At that ratio, yes, we can. We absolutely can.
>>Barack Obama said on ABC that ISIS is “contained”
Like we’d expect the Quisling in Chief to say something else?
"Flexibility"
very well known and popular? i'm willing to bet >90% of the people on this board never heard of them before yesterday...
Reminds me of the orcs in LotR.
>>No, it wasn’t a war on “all Islam,”
Ya, kinda hard to have one of those when praising the “religion of peas” and scurrying his Saudi bidness partners out of the country.
I agree with your premise but i think we stayed out of those other nations because their governments simply weren’t a threat. Iraq had Saddam and Afghanistan was run by AQ. Khadaffy had been neutered since Reagan and the rest were non factors. Don’t forget Obama’s first regime change was Egypt where he not only refused to help but insisted on immediate abdication. That was him flexing his muscles and not his brain.
Ten thousand and virtually all male. Obama’s ignorance is startling.
PING!
Any attack will be used to expand the powers of DHS, including TSA. It’s not about national security. It’s about destroying America as a constitutional republic.
Iran is the larger threat. That threat can be summarized in a 5 letter word. Can you guess?
Correct. Even when we were being very selective in our methods. If the intent was to wipe out Islam, and we did not “hold back”, the kill ratio would be MUCH higher. Probably a factor of 10 (higher) if not more.
ISIS is self announcing on twitter, London, Rome and Washington.
As journalist Fouad Hussein in 1996 ended in a Jordanian prison he had hardly imagined that he would get the fingers in Al-Qaeda's secret plan for Europe.
In prison learned Hussein Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi to know. The two men turned out to be top-terrorists of Al-Qaeda. In their talks with Hussein revealed the two increasingly Al-Qaeda's evil plans.
In 2005, Hussein released book "Al-Zarqawi: The Second Generation of Al Qaeda." The book reveals Al-Qaeda's long-term plan for Europe, which he was told the prison of the two top-terrorists.
7 steps
The plan runs from 2000 to 2020 and consists of seven steps. When you consider that the book was published in 2005 seems almost prophetic - or intimidating well-planned - so accurate it is.
Step 4 should thus be implemented in 2010 and consist of the overthrow of secular Arab regimes. It was precisely what happened with the Arab Spring, which provided space for the religious fundamentalists could gain a foothold in the Arab world.
Step 5 should be implemented in 2013, when an Islamic state would be established. It was, as you know, exactly what happened.
"Total confrontation" in 2016
Step 6 should be from 2016 to 2020. Here, the plan be so many jihad followers in Europe that will be able to start a "total confrontation".
Evidence suggests just that fundamentalist Muslims will soon be so many that they might challenge the stability of Europe seriously, should they wish. And why should not they?
Note that at a 25-to-1 kill ratio, that’s 48 million Americans dead. Gotta do much better...
There's no real comparison. This really is sheep versus lions once the lion realizes who he is. The goal of the Left, including the current administration, is to change the lion so that he isn't who he is, or to convince him otherwise. I think that is a vast and very unlikely conceit.
