If Mexico invaded USA then would Americans be christians fundamentalists for defending them selfs?

why doesnt anyone talk about hindus killing whole villages in india till this very day and age??

you people have a very narrow window, and mind frame. You only know what the media tells you and you never want to find out the facts, just watch your march madness and the rest of the sports and stay dumb.

Good Allah! You wrote: “As an officer assigned to a unit in the United States Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (USACAPOC) – which is responsible for overseeing two lesser known areas of Special Operations; I am very familiar with operations in this theater.”

Good Allah! You’re a 40ty’ish Reserve Lieutenant who’s “combatnot” experience is as a “journalist.” A journalist! Still writing stories!

Good Allah! We agree you’re “very familiar” with how to post a sexy toe pics on your blog. But never expect us think you’re “very familiar” with “operations in theater.” You see, it’s “Theater.” Capital “T.”

Katherine, stick to sexy toe pics. They make more sense that your feeble attempts to pretend you’re more that a 40ty’ish Reserve journalist who obtained a “direct commission.”

BTY, we understand that most Officers EARN a commission.

How’d you obtain yours? ;) Directly??

So apparently you do appreciate the President for protecting this nation…

Is it any wonder that President Elect Obama is back peddling on his promise to ‘bring the troops home’ and keep Gates on as his Secretary of Defense and now he proposes a ‘surge’ to Afghanistan which happens to be next to Pakistan which provided the terrorists that hit MUMBAI, India next door to Pakistan?

This ‘war’ is not something that can be solved by “monitoring’ the situation. This situation calls for swift, constant and continuous aggressive action, and we can’t blink first. We have to convince the other side and the ‘non-combatants’ in those regions that we are in this for the long haul – and convince them that we are not ‘cut and run’ allies that will leave them holding the bag.

We are in a war of ideology. For example, just look at the history of the war between the French and the Algerian Jihadists (1954-1962 and on to the present) to get an understanding of what is going on today from China, to Chechnya, to Indonesia, to the Philippians, back to India, into Saudi Arabia, south to Nigeria and about 50 other places not on your typical list of vacation spots. Even after the French finally withdrew, [read: exit strategy] that war in Algeria is continuing today between the Jihadists and everyone who isn’t.

There are lot of people that agree with the likes of Bin Laden and terrorists inc. members and they live all over the world – millions of them – and surprisingly they are of all races and colors.

As Americans we are impatient people and expect rational logic on the part of our leaders and our enemies. Right now we are not getting it from either. If Obama keeps pace with his ‘flower power’ base, we are in for a really rough four years. Doesn’t anyone find it more then coincidental that no sooner does Obama get elected that all hell breaks loose in Bombai/Mumbai? Make no mistake, the Jihadists are testing us and trying to find Obama’s center of gravity for the WWWOA.

Mumbai? Penn Station? These Jihadists are thinkers and not light weights. They are sophisticated, educated, and calculating and they have a program and they really believe in what they are doing, just as strongly as we do.

The Jihadists are willing to die for their objectives and they are willing to kill in the name of…

This is what we are up against.

That’s all for now,
