File under: Global Jihad

#1 Our enemies have figured out they can best fight us by using our 'strength' - our civilized and humane ethos - against us. They may even win that way, but I suspect (and hope) that Zenster is not the only one who does not plan to submit quietly to the end.
At some point, they may say, paraphrasing Yamamoto, "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve."

#2 I don't like the title. There is no coping w/global jihad. You either decide to exterminate it or decide to rollover. I understand that we have to shift tactics - a big no sh*tter - all our mil ldrs know this. However, until our political leaders are truly ready to get down and dirty all this talk is just that. We need to stop giving free passes to terrorist enablers. I'm personally all for wetworx, mis-information campaigns, and extortion of any nation-state that backs a terrorist org. We should have cut the saudi's off at the knees yrs ago.

#3 How is easy. Stop letting Mulsims get away with things big or small.,that we don't allow others to get away with.

Arrest those that incite violence in a mob, rally, or mosque. Uphold the law despite cultural differences. Reevaluate those refugees and immigrants milking the system and rotting it from within and expel them.

And until global Jihad is over limit the number allowed to travel to the West. If they are moderates the Muslim nations need them back home straightening things out. If they are not moderates why in the hell would we want them travelling in the West?

#4 I don't want to "Cope" with Global Jihad, I want to kill it dead.

1. Seal the American borders including the airports, seaports and waterways that make it miserable to those attempting to come in "illegally" without passports and/or visas.

2. Make visas much more tougher to obtain. I could care less about our reputation. I'm like the Milwall Football Club fans, "They don't like us and we don't care".

3. Go to the heart of the matter, the madrassas, the radical mosques, lets kill the message and the message composer first then deal with the messenger.

4. Let loose the dogs of war especially our technology and airpower superiority and nip the Iranian, Syrian, Hezbollah cabal right in the bud now.

5. Make all of this a show of brutal pre-emptive survival vengance. Make sure the muzzies get the message - you are no longer viable but rather you will die if you don't crawl back under the rock from whence you came.

To hell with coping. Ariel has to be a New Yorker.

#5 Well said Jack. I have no interest in coping with global jihad either. I want to see it destroyed one way or another. That is the only way to cope with it.

#6 Jack's item 4, loose the dogs of war....
Reality check is in order; we are in a country which pulled it's best general in the middle of WW2 because he slapped a soldier. There's no hope for leaders in a civilized world unless they are given carte blanch control over forces until the hostilities are concluded by unconditional surrender. I don't see that ever happening within this environment. Dictatorship ? Yes, democracy, no.

#7 MSM & NET > both have well-reported that Jihadist-Islamist now works wid Communist-Maoist; + formerly seeming opposing Socialist camps. i.e. Ultra-Right Fascist + Ultra-Left Communists also now collude, and exclusive of many singular Hardline groups or movements. IOW, THE USA ARE NOT FACING ONLY A "GLOBAL JIHAD" vv Radical Muslims. WOT > The threat to the USA + Free World is not only from Muslim-centric Radical Islamism.

FREEREPUBLIC > VICTOR DAVIS HANSON > believes the USA must either expand our milfor levels to suppor our WOT policies [read - DRAFT]. OR ELSE SCALE/REDUCE BACK OUR COMMITMENTS TO EUROPE, ASIA, AND MIDDLE EAST. * IOW, USA > UNILATERALLY STOP BEING A GLOBAL SUPERPOWER OR HYPERPOWER, aka USA RESISTING US-CENTRIC/DOMINATED OWG-NWO-SWO, sub aka USA "VOLUNTEERS" TO DEGRADE ITSELF TO REGIONAL-LOCAL, THIRD WORLD?, MINOR WORLD POWER STATUS???

WAFF.com/TOPIX NEWS > US COMMANDER DESIRES 40,000 US TROOPS IN EUROPE TO STAY TO COUNTER A "RESURGENT" RUSSIA [read - USSR] ; + PUTIN WARNS MISSLE DEFENSE, FAILURE OF MISSLE TALKS THREATENS US-RUSSIAN RELATIONS. Putin also offers to provide/sale Russian mid-flight BMD-ABM defense
systems to interested nations espc Euros.

HANSON article > may show why MOUD = IRAN believes the era of American power is at or near an end. Amer as a Nationa-Society must effectively suppor its own policies, or it does not thus allowing competitors = "young turks" to step in and replace the USA. SUBSTITUTION OF NATIONS/POWER EXISTED BEFORE 9-11/GWOT, AND DID NOT STOP DUE TO SAME. RADICAL ISLAM > GLOBAL CALIPHATE/ISLAMIC STATE, etc concept > concept/
agenda is broadly intended to stop the "Great Game of Geopolitics" once and forever.

#8 Actually coping is very simple.

1. You advocate Jihad of any kind toward America Israel. Solution: You die.
2. You are a member of a terrorist organization (of any kind) Solution: You die.
3. Your organization donates money to known terrorist groups. Solution: Support of Terror IS terror, you die as does every donating person.
4. Your country supports, protects, trains or harbors terrorists. Solution: Your country dies. Complete scorched earth tactics. All infrastructure destroyed, everything, roads, bridges, power, water treatment, food production and transport, every port, airport and government building gets turned into a crater. Total interdiction of anything moving in or out of the country.
5. Your people gather and chant "Death to America". Solution: See above.
6. Your actions demonstrate aid and comfort to our enemies. Solution: You die.

Eventually, people will learn.

#9 Spot on Jack. I should've mentioned internal security initiatives like stopping immigration from their countries.

Bottomline -- none of our leaders have the nutz...I thought Bush was the man until all the ROP nonsense and weakness wrt the southern border. We've made plenty of mistakes in iraq, unfortunately most were due to lack of boldness and aggression vice the contrary.
