| #4 There is a difference between Radical Islam and standard Islam in that the regular Islamic folks are still on the fence looking for the strong horse. If we provide them with one dominos tumble as they did for a while after the invasion of Iraq. If we show weakness it works the other way. I believe you need to take some realities into account when planning war. (1) Americans do not like peacekeeping. (2) Americans do not like long wars that give the left a chance to undermine morale. So basically we need to topple a nation using our forces or indigenous forces and then set up a dictatorship and move on. Yes dictatorships are foul, but they can gain control, do what needs to be done, and transform into a democracy when the nation is strong enough. I don't disapprove of what we did in iraq. It was worth the risk because the unique location and such and the massive payoff if we can get a Democracy, but the same is not true of Afghanistan, or Syria and others. |

| #3 Even this article still misses the key point. Islam is a religion, an integration of beliefs and assertions that prescribes worship in a particular way. But radical Islam, we must insist, is different. There is NO, ZIP, ZERO, ZILCH difference between "radical Islam" and (what? real?) Islam! There are just a difference in the will and cowardice or lack there of among individual Muslims!! Until there is a true reformation in Islam that defines a non-radical, non-kaffhir hating, non-jihad embracing theology, until that time we ARE at war with ISLAM!!!!! |

| #2 YOU EITHER HAVE THE WILL TO WIN or you dont. Yep, A9, you have that right. I believe world 'leadership' (and a great many if not most of the people) do NOT have the WILL. Perhaps eventually some traumatic shock will re-generate the WILL, but by then the cost of winning will be immensely greater (see WWII for case study.) |

| #1 Step one: Have a Unified Value System that pits the WHOLE United States against Radical Islam. If the Obamas and the Pelosis and the Reids dont have common Values with the decent American people, if Congress can be bought and sold and "deals" can be made and interests determined by bribes to Senators to vote one way and against Values of integrity...then we have a rotten leadership and a corrupt system. The Courage of the United States military is un-questioned. Its the LEADERSHIP which is fagboy and largely piss itself Democratic Party bugout and run. Bush led the United States to victory in Iraq. We won that war. There IS a Democracy there now, we can largely bring the troops home. Say THANK YOU, to George Bush and not to the ball-less Democrats like Kerry and that paragon of Values Breck Boy Edwards. That PUKE was the best the Democratic Party had for the American people and it truly sucked when it didnt stink so bad the buzzards fell out of the air). And NOW we have a bendover boy like Obama. And Skinny wouldnt fight for his own momma. And we are going to defeat radical islam with THIS lineup? yeah? Iran and Syria are not our friends. Places like Sudan and Somalia are Islamist pustules. The Israelis are our friends...AND the Israelis fight and win. Pakistan can be bought and they are never going to be our friend EXCEPT for money. Afghanistan is full of Moslems. Moslems are de facto all expendable. If it gets killed that's not a problem. You will never miss it. Whatever it takes with Moslems, they either do it our way or they get the full treatment. Up it, tie it off and tighten it down, break its neck off and kick it. Radical Islam wherever it is found gets the one two three. And then we turn off the air. YOU EITHER HAVE THE WILL TO WIN or you dont. Losing ? It doesnt exist. Stick the blade in under the chin and twist hard. No,I am not going to split it with you. I am am going to take it all. Yo' Momma, monkeyboy.
Like Simon deMontfort said about the Albigensian campaign...burn the place, let God sort 'em out. And you know what? It worked for Simon and it can work for us. You just have to have the nerve to make sure you are thorough....and if you dont like it you can be my little sister. | |
