C'mon, Ed. Bucking to be another Mother Teresa? Jihadists are doing what we do: take over countries and people who don't believe as we do, arbitrarily and violently without warning to change their institutions, with obvious consequences.

The US is trying to keep its gun in its holster, knowing as all informed citizens that solutions aren't ours to make, and hoping the hundreds of Canadian and American suicidal jihadists over there don't come home to wreak vengeance here.

As to our future, please consider that military expenditures are increasing in every world region except for North America, eastern and western Europe and Oceania. The West's resolve for preparedness isn't there.

Worse, continued under-spending means our militaries will lose their technological advantage that they've relied on for their effectiveness. Strength for protecting a peace, Ed, not yapping.

These jhaders must be smarter than the average erm, I mean dem. They're not susceptible social engineering indoctrination. It's probably an infrastructure problem. We can't swing the pendulum towards sexual diversity, tolerance and the entitlement state because they're home schooled.

Maybe, we could air drop some of that colorado wowie smoke and try diplomacy again in a year or two when stoner heads prevail. Hmmm, maybe there is a chance for another nobil piece prize and legacy before bo hands off the baton. This could all come together with a quick press conference and and a round or two of Sunday show talking points.

I've got a deal for you, PJ. When they stop putting planes into our buildings and stop terrorizing our innocents we can stop "putting boots on the ground". OTOH, if we unleash enough AH-64s with 30mm cannons and Hellfire missiles maybe we won't NEED "boots on the ground".

Oh, and next time you speak of my country, America, please capitalize the name.

SRH


May God bless America and those who defend her.

uh stan, lets be honest now. we put 500,000 pair o infidel boots on the holy ground of Saudi. that was about 10 years before they crashed our air planes into our buildings...I mean that really pissed erm off. enough to commit hari kari and mass murder; fully knowing that we would not take it kindly and no doubt come after them. remember, many of the guys who did 911 were Saudis.

Jager listen up,

A. We DO NOT NEED any boots on the ground in that shit hole as Stan mentioned.

B. Ignorance destroys itself in time, even in this country.

king: ah aint tryin to be no Mudder Teresa here...

as a student of history, I know what happens to weak people who have something of value that stronger people want. if the strong cant buy it, then they steal it. if they cant steal it, then they will just come and take it. and if anybody says "no", then the strong will just kill the weak...look no further than the history of the American Indian for a classic example.

so, simply put, the muslim world has oil. we need oil. so long as we can buy it at a price we are willing to pay, all is well...but, if that changes, and we gotta send in the cavalry, then history repeats itself...and as the arsonist Sherman put it:

"the only good indian is a dead indian".

substitute muslim for indian and the wheels starts turning again in a familiar rut.

as a humanitarian who was taught as a kid that all human life is precious and should not be wasted, I do not want to see another "indian war".

sadly. it looks like the stars may be lining up for that to happen, very soon.

we gotta try to talk to these guys and if possible, cut a deal with them, or we will all suffer jee had.

Why bring up the dems again.

What an aha moment. It's a border issue and we should've violated the saudis. I like Kings approach. Let's sit around and hope for the best. After all, sooner or later the erms will show their countries the light and bring the rest of the world back in military spending line with the US and Canada.

Can't wait, in twenty years the iranians will be sending boots on the ground to Mayberry so they can beat back the invading somalis.

pa: I have a grandson serving on the U.S.S. RONALD REAGAN.

naive posts like yours above scare me.

because this scared me first:

China Tests High-Speed Precision-Guided Torpedo - Free ...
freebeacon.com/.../china-tests-high-speed-p...


and don't believe for a second that the Chinese will not share this technology with our enemies if they see it in their interest to do so...wonder what the muslim oil states have that the Chinese would be willing to trade their weapons technology for?

craig: history does have a way of repeating itself. the times, the names and the places may change. but it is the same old story.

sometimes on a clear night you can hear them up there laughing at us and our folly.
