Bin Laden and all (not some, but ALL) the terrorist groups have stated they will not rest until Christianity is dead. Maybe you will wake up when one of your family members is beheaded by some crazed group.
The terrorists would love nothing more than to have your Obama in office so they can send someone to 'negotiate' while they plan out their next attack.
Wake up dude before it is too late for all of us.
^^^ - What he said.
The avowed purpose of the various Islamic Jihadi groups is simple - "Ridding the Earth of the Great Satans." The Soviet Union is too busy handling its internal affairs to be a big problem for the Jihadis, so they're being ignored for the nonce. The Jihadis are waging demographic warfare in Europe - doing so allows them to conserve resources for use elsewhere.
Against us.
In their eyes, we are the "Last Great Satan", and this has become a war that will only truly end with the total annihilation of one side or the other - and I vote that they get annihilated (but mine is a biased opinion.)
The mistake we're continuing to make is
defense instead of
offense. Airport security? By the time Mr. Magoo is able to react to them, they're
here.
The single best thing we could do would be to take all of the intel we're able to gather, feed it to SEAL Six and SFOD-DELTA, and turn them loose worldwide. Find them, kill them, and bring back their heads. Have a row of pikes in front of the White House, maybe in front of Buckingham Palace, and that sort of thing - and put those heads that are brought back up on the pikes.
Violence is the only language in which the Jihadis are capable of negotiating, so let us speak their language. As long as we're trying to be the "kinder, gentler United States," or as long as we're being "Politically Correct", or as long as we're fighting more in the court of world opinion than in the battlefront, we're going to lose. What will prevent the Jihadis from a
total victory will be the die-hard holdouts that simply refuse to roll over and die - people who know how to fight, who know how to keep shut once the fight comes around, and people who know that all you need to get started is a well-aimed rock (you can resupply off of your victims.)
Sorry, but until I see SEAL Six and SFOD-DELTA get orders saying "Weapons Free," I'll never consider us to be truly serious about the threat. All that we've been doing is making things more difficult for ourselves, and that simply foments unrest among the populace (which actually makes what the terrorists are trying to do rather easier...)
