Some of the same preparedness highlighted for the Y2K hysteria would now actually be in order: maintain a two week supply of food in reserve, with water and candles, etc; think ahead what strategic targets may be in your general area, around your community and prepare for evacuation or bunkering accordingly; perhaps a reserve electric generator and a stand-by for transportationa nd emdical aid is in order. The point is, the war against terrorism will be waged, to some extent, right here in America, so we the people must prepare for that eventuality, until our military teeth can strike at the heart of these demons repeatedly, to break off their fangs and cut the arms from their reach.

I realize I sound like a broken record lately, but we must be clear who we are at war with. We are at war with a crazy international death cult. This is a Jihad.

Our enemies will die in the effort to kill us and subjucate our culture. They want to weaken us and demoralize us and get us to change. We must not capitulate. The only response to their Jihad is a Jihad right back at them. All Jihadists must die. Like the police must kill a sniper in a tower before he murders more passersby, we must kill all Jihadists. Taliban, Bin laden, Iranian leadership, Lybian leadership, Sudan gov't, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbullah and a handful of others are the enemies of the free world. They think by killing us they get into heaven.

The only appropriate answer to Jihad is a Jihad right back at them. We must declare a holy war against them like they have against us. By going after them with 100x the vengeance they have pursued us, we will win this war. When the masses of Islamics see how we will treat all Jihadists with ferocity, they will never dare support these groups again.

This was a very good question, are we prepared to protect our interests? Are you armed and ready to fight off terrorist in your own city or town. The police are there, but they are there after the event, we must be prepared to take action during an event or just as it is getting started.

I am locked and loaded and ready to defend, if necessary, but then again, I have always been ready. If you do not have a CWP get one, if you do not have a handgun, get one, if you do not have a rifle, get one, if you do not have a radio, get one, if you do not have an emergency kit for at least 72 hours, then put one together. It is YOUR responsibility to protect your family, not the governments. PROTECT yourself and your loved ones. If the war hits close to home, we must be ready to turn them into martyr's without doing the damage that they wish to do!!

A sobering piece, and I hope unduly pessimistic. I doubt that Middle Eastern terrorists will be able to operate as sucessfully in the US as you imply. (Among other things, those types don't really fit into the US all that well, and will have difficultly now that the alarm has been rung to achieve invisibility.) And the US will use weapons other than the men and women of the armed forces alone to turn the screws on nests of terrorists abroad and their hosts, including diplomatic and economic pressure. (Interestingly I heard on the radio one analyst based in Egypt from Britain that has lived there most of his life suggest that the degree of terrorist state sustenance of terrorist organizations is way down from what it was 15 years ago; I hope he is right.) Sending tens of thousands of troops in Afganistan to hunt for Osama bin Laden seems to me to be an option of last resort, and quite possibly one that will fail.

This campaign will take time. Those that want instant and sanguinary conflagratory gratification are going to be quite dissappointed. It will probably not work that way, and I suspect to see expressions of the disappointment in considerable volume in this neighborhood.

But I will not be disappointed. This is an exercise for the long distance runner. It needs patient persistent intensity of purpose over a sustained period, not only by the US, but by the Western alliance and those dependent upon it as a whole. It will be Bush's greatest challenge no doubt in his presidency to achieve it.

My reply in another thread last Sunday on my most recent experience as an Army Reservist on the West Coast:

I've had a military obligation for most the last 16 years: Active Duty Army five years, USAR, then CA NG, and finally USAR again. I left in disgust Feb. of last year and wouldn't re-enlist with the C*U*Mmander and Chief Clinton as my President. My last unit XO informed the senior NCOs that we wouldn't be able to have the unit qualify for the M16 rifle due to lack of funds. Nevermind that ALL enlisted are required to qualify according to Army policy, the unit METL, and to allow for soldiers to improve the previous year's results for a huge number of promotion points.

Without qualifying, all soldiers in our unit would be deprived of obtaining 100 promotion points for the year and putting them at a ridiculous dissadvantage to their peers Army-wide.....It takes nine bullets to zero, 40 to qualify, and perhaps 2-3 per for alibis in the worst of cases for each soldier. That's about $3.75 worth of bullets at the significantly reduced government contract rate (their catalog, not mine). Not that we should complain, because the unit said we'd have about 12-14 bullets each to allow for "weapons familiarization". I had to walk away. I did hear about that unit's training last Summer. Most the junior enlisted bailed or for some reason couldn't get off another range or training lane to get to the M16 range. The officers got thier rocks off busting caps and leaving the weapons for others to clean. Hey George, when does the help arrive? Until then, I'm an SFC in militia of one.

Fight and slay the pagans [i.e. infidels] wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war. —The Koran, Sura 9:5

Lo! Allah hath bought from the believers their lives and their wealth because the Garden will be theirs: they shall fight in the way of Allah and shall slay and be slain. It is a promise which is binding on Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur'an. Who fulfilleth His covenant better than Allah? Rejoice then in your bargain that ye have made, for that is the supreme triumph. Sura 10:38

[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people

[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.

[9.30] And the Jews say: Uzair is the son of Allah; and the Christians say: The Messiah is the son of Allah; these are the words of their mouths; they imitate the saying of those who disbelieved before; may Allah destroy them; how they are turned away!

Islam is not a pacifists religion .

American caring Quasi Muslims apparently don't read their books . Perhaps this summary could explain what they are to do and why some do what they do to those of you in denial.

A war is being waged, for Freedom and the freedom of souls .

May they find truth and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior .

Cheese .

"To reduce the potential for casualties after we make our initial strike, we must prepare for the coming struggle against an enemy determined to slaughter innocent Americans and an enemy who believes they will be blessed if they die killing innocent Americans ... to these hate-filled fanatics, there are no innocent Americans."

An inciteful post as I have tried to make, despite the rantings of pro-PLO disruptors and demorcraptic party infiltrators. The reality is that the only way to defeat an enemy like this is to terrify them to a point where they will be scared to retaliate against us OR OUR INTERESTS. You destroy one of our cities, we destroy 5 of yours. You kill one of our citizens, we kill a 1000 of yours. It's painful reality check time here people, and don't think that everyone in the world is not watching to test our mettle.

Great post! Spot on!

We should stop worrying about strategy in Afganistan, the professional military is on that case.

We need to worry about the enemy among us, and "BATTLEFIELD USA".

After we attack our enemies overseas, the next attack on the home front may be an anthrax or plague attack, set by the smiling microbiology grad students who live down your street, in the USA on student visas.

Let's find them first.

When the deviant, bill clinton, fired off missiles at targets he knew would not be bloody in the main, he did nothing but steel our enemy.

One of Clinton's defender pukes was on Fox today, and he said that when Clinton bombed the aspirin factory there were people who said he did it to take the spotlight away from Monica. He said actually the reason for the bombing was that Clinton had begun his war against Bin Laden and terrorism, and there was no one who would help him carry it forward.

Tony Snow and another guest just looked at him. Here at home, I said some uncomplimentary words about this Clinton toady. Its amazing that when Clinton liars come up with this stuff, people with them just sit quietly and look stunned.

Spitting cruise missiles into the Afghan desert or a Sudanese pharmaceutical plant may please the kneejerk quarterbacks, but it is a luxury we can no longer afford

President George W. Bush: "We are not going to fire a two million dollars missle into a $10 tent to hit a camel in the butt"
