"If anything can be done to avoid a war, it should be done. When a war cannot be avoided fight it. Fight it well."

-Is this Colin Powell or Sun Tzu.

Powell is the one who thought he could convince the UN dimwits that war was necessary, he has driven the administration down a dead end street.

Colin Powell better step up big or he should be fired ASAP.

As former actor, modern strategic war expert George Cloony says, ~ '...We can't beat anyone anymore.'

IMHO, that has proven true because our professional political class won't allow total victory over our mortal enemies. Too many of these nations' tribal/ethnic/religious leaders loose face and forge revenge or maintain their will to outlast us. North Korea? North Vietnam? Iran? Syria? Somalia? Afganistan? Iraq? but to name a few...

If we weighed the total costs of defensive war when it is thrust upon us and our children, we would balance the books by utterly destroying our enemies' ability to continue to exist within their murderous social orders. A vanquished enemy must take time to reflect on what has brought them to the brink of extinction and stop it or pass from history; our enemies have little hesitation to do so to our children's children.

If we will not fight this fight to win, our children must. There is only far greater mortal risk to their families should we, in the shadows of the conspiringly arabesque UN, slink away from facing rampaging evil preaching "Death to America!"

Unconditional surrender should be the outcome in this Terror War against Western Civilization, aka USA and her seconds. Our enemies must learn that they will be "Shaken, not stirred." because our dead and maimed children may be unable to forgive our appeasements.

"Powell," Schwarzkopf told his staff one day, "is a political genius. But he lacks the stomach for war."
