Terrorism Expert: Kill Them Before They Can Kill Us

Did Hitler envy the Jews?

In a word, yes, although envy is not quite correct. Jealousy may be closer, but that's not it either. I believe that he and his comrades felt anger that The Master Race was being beaten in many areas (academia, science, publishing, business, entertainment, and yes, even athletics) in Germany by this band of "peddlers" and their offspring.

The Jews were the living proof that he was full of sh*t with his racial theories about the perfection of the "Nordic race." If they were losers, the reaction and "final solution" needn't have happened.

D: Addressing the root causes of terrorism. Swetnam believes the U.S. is losing the propaganda war

The primary "root cause" of Islamist terrorism is Islam.

The secondary cause of Islamist terrorism is that Islamists have not yet been killed in sufficient numbers, which leads them to believe they can be successful in destroying the West.

[fastdraw]

Well, in that limited sense, I won't disagree with you.

There is an analogous "envy" among the jihadists. They are profoundly chagrined that we infidels are preventing the religion of Allah to hold sway over all the earth.

You nailed it!!!

How many in Washington understand this?
Not many, I'm afraid.

Re your # 8

...The following gets my vote:...."We have to move from 'wait and respond' to 'detect and destroy.'"

[Samurai_Jack]

Great and thought provolking post, here are some of mine.

Muslims have some real hangups
....................................................
Have any of you ever been involved in some of the pentacostal youth groups? They emphasis the 'On Fire' for God thing which causes a young person to go preach it on the streets, or in many cases to go feed the poor. Same mindset that causes a muslim to go murder for allah... Guilt, Shame and Programming.

anymore than a leopard can be cured by its' spots... well that is unless skinning is an option.
.................................................
So Bleach is not an option?

They LOVE the hatred like addicts love the needle.
.................................................
We've got some protesters of various sorts out there, Anti-War, Anti-Globalist, Anti-Social morally equivocating psychopaths who seem to be running the country by mob rule. They use the same brand of hatred, not a large step for them to end up as suicide bombers.

Maybe the arabs are right, perhaps our tolerance will be our downfall.
.................................................
When did the arabs ever say that? I agree with the statement you made but have never heard an arab express this sentiment, they are trained better than that in the secret madrassas.

die with honor, OR if possible, WIN.
.................................................
"If you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed. If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not so costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no chance of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."
Winston Churchill

Swetnam's report card really goes beyond merely disappointing. All of the other grades would be meaningless if we were getting an A in "intelligence", rather than an F.

After the fall of the Soviet Union, it was noted by many that our next worst enemy would be international terrorism. Apparently it was not noted by all of the right people. Inexcusable, is not too strong of a term.

[Robert_Paulson2]

dead on target analysis...
envy is but one handle on a very nasty creature called evil...

[Robert_Paulson2]

They think we are overly tolerant of sinners....

I think we are overly tolerant of THEM....
same tolerance, different objects, and sadly different results if we dont get them first...

[Robert_Paulson2]

so their attacks are "famous" not "at any moment?"

or is it conspicous... now I am really confused.

Hey... the part I get is the US OR THEM part.
It's kinda like the for us or agin' us line... easy simple and self-instructive. that is, the saying determines the prudent course of action.

My english is not perfect... I was just asking those who know... fwiw. Imminent is right, right?

[happygrl]

Imminent means it could happen at any time. Eminent means highly prioritized, in this context, right?

You are correct Mr. Paulson.

Don't get me started on the poor grammar and skills of (gasp) WRITERS!

[Trust but Verify]

Just curious, why do you think that?

[concerned about politics]

and the Iraqis don't have any weapons of mass destruction.

Yes they do. Years ago when things were differant, we gave them to them. There are no records of the WMD being destroyed.
That's how we know what they have. We just aren't sure where they stashed them.
Because of the liberal childrens whining and bitching, Saddam could have them all in Syria by now. (I wish liberals would grow up and let people do their jobs)

Earth Liberation Front, Animal Liberation Front - both left wing domestic terrorist groups already.

"This war cannot be won on the defensive," Bremer said. "No matter how good we make our homeland security, there is virtually no way we can defend all of the targets that terrorists can come after."

He is correct. When you fight a defensive fight, you are always one "haymaker" from hitting the deck. When you throw the "haymaker," the other guy is always one "haymaker" from hitting the deck.

[steveegg]

Gut feeling.

[steveegg]

That's a good start. May I suggest adding some cobalt-59 to the mix (but only if it's sufficiently heated :-)
