Good find.

This is quite an eye opening piece. Of course, NOW, the western societies are awash in liberal political correctness.

Fox News interviewed the new head of security at the Boston airport. He was enthusiastic about teaching airport personnel screening by behavior. This would not involve ethnic looks but behavior.

The ACLU objects to even this.

Arab allegations that British soldiers gouged out the eyes of Arab prisoners were quoted prominently in the Nazi German press and elsewhere.

Arabs always lie.

Bump.

Combining these methods with those of Black Jack Pershing may prove useful.

The difference, of course, is that the British did not have a pro-terrorist press to contend with--and the terrorists didn't have a PR agent.

It is interesting to note how weak the British have become.

It is also worth noting that in 1938 Britain was THE World's Greatest Superpower with an Empire upon which the Sun never set.

Today Britain is an Island where the Sun never shines.

Nice post....I've read a little about the British strategy in Jenin before. Amazing how short the British press' memories are, no? The U.S. is having to deal with a situation that the British Empire stirred up and then pissed off and left when it was at its worst....deja vu...

PING!!!!

In the Jenin operation and on other occasions, local Arabs were forced to drive "mine-sweeping taxis" ahead of British vehicles in areas where Palestinian Arab terrorists were believed to have planted mines, in order "to reduce [British] landmine casualties."

That's an excellent idea.

[The Great Satan]

Sir John Shuckburgh defended the tactics on the grounds that the British were confronted "not with a chivalrous opponent playing the game according to the rules, but with gangsters and murderers."

Top-ho! Spiffing riposte, eh, what?

THey always ascribe to others what they do themselves. Indian soldiers corpses, returned to India after the Kargil 99 Jihadi/Pakistani attack was repulsed, often had the word Allah carved on their chests/foreheads. In addition, eyeballs were gouged out and replaced with testicles with soldiers own penises stuffed into the their mouths.

Nice catch.

Unfortunately, it won't have bother the lefty press, who hate the whole 'Empire' concept anyway and won't recognise this as an argument.

[Da_Shrimp]

Oops.. get rid of the 'have'

[besieged]

LOL. Well, they way they are behaving, it is rightly a place where "the Sun don't shine!" So the next time someone suggests that you "take that thing and stick it where the sun..."... you can think of Great Britain!!!

LOL I crack myself up!!!
