#1 Olivia Ward writes what is probably the best summary of the Tranzi narrative for the war against Islamism that I've yet seen. You oughta put this in classics, Fred, so everyone can refer to it.

#2 You canot appease a group whose only satisfaction is your death or your submission. You simply have nothing to offer them unless you plan on surrendering abjectly and dying in large numbers.

The only way to deal with these folks is to kill them. Thye cannot be deterred, since death for them is a good thing as long as they get to take an infidel with them. So deny them that chance. Kill them quickly, in large numbers, and give them meaningless deaths. And keep doing so until you drive home the idea that Jihad results in the eradication of the Jidhadis, their supporters and the society that tolerates them.

Its that simple.

And thats the ONLY solution we've left ourselves after a few decades of ignoringthe problem or attempting to either appease them or use "pinprick" strikes.

Their entire base needs to be put at risk, and demonstrably so, with large losses.

#3 meaningless = not in battle, but kicking at the end of a rope and left to rot, or dead and rotting in rubble from indirect fire or strategic bombing.

We've let it come to this by not slapping the Wahabbist in Saudi hard when we had the chance, by cutting and running in the 1990's, and by having loud morons like Cindy Shithan who are trying to use this war as a means for advancing their political (socialist) goals at the expense of the nation, or the politicians like Fienstein and Dodd and Murtha who have put their hatred of Bush and lust for power ahead of the good of the nation.

You want to point fingers for the blood that will be shed, point it squarely at the idiots who ahve painted us into this corder, starting with the first President Bush, the entire Clinton presidency from aspirin factories to Somalia, at Jimmy Carter for excusing every dictator in the world, and at the current batch of activists and pols who are trying to twist the perception of a winning war into a loss for teith own political gain - and a press that aids & abets the enemy and has become their best weapon in the war on the west.

#4 More dribble from the left wing. They know NOTHING at all about Religion so step aside please.

Nice counter commentary by the way.

#5 Hollywood is missing out on such classic plot material by ignoring this struggle, I'm amazed.
Just think of the possibilities of story lines. Behind the scenes covert missions, small towns struggling under the insurgency only to be set free, sharia brutality against housewives who are saved and made widows by empathetic soldiers. There's just no end to the money making angle of these tragic times, but Hollyweird has it's panties in a jumble and can't react with honor.
Honor ? How do you act out honor ? (when you've never had any)
Then consider that many Jews are in control in Hollyweird, and the MSM also. I'm beginning to see Jews as somewhat strange. Israel has been surviving bombings for decades, and continue to live under the cloud of death, daily. Yet, they do not agitate for retaliation ? Seems queer to me. You bang the drum at my gate long enough, and I'll put that drumstick up your ass.

#6 I'll take your comments about the people whose religion I share under consideration, Mr. wxjames. Also your clever thoughts about drumsticks.

#8 TW, This writer sees the end approaching;
The jihadists, and their opponents on the extreme Christian right, are gaining an edge with apocalyptic warnings that a "final battle" between the Muslim world and the West is now inevitable.
Most Christians, all conservatives, and some Jews on one side, and radical Islam jihadists, all leftists including some Jews on the other side.
Is ideology thicker than religious dogma ? Or, is it a case (several cases) of self aggrandizement run afoul. i.e. Chucky Schumer.
I realize that some Christians and muslims are on either side also, but we have not had generations to realize what is happening around us.
I'm a tad shocked that the Jews are not of one mind on this issue.

#9 you cannot appease those who would kill you - you can only kill them and spit on their corpses for making you do so

#10 "The jihadists, and their opponents on the extreme Christian right..."

A classic example of False Dilemma.

I would suggest to the twit that all non-jihadists, excepting those who are in the death-wish throes of nihilism, are opponents. Idiot.
