The key point that must always be remembered is that Al Qaeda tries mightily to avoid using their higher echelon command and control staff as suicide bombers. If martyrdom was so important, wouldn’t that be different?

AQ, like anyone else is, not free from the exigencies of military necessity. They need to be alive to fight the war and they know it. Which is why death, the only permanent punishment apart from crippling and amputation, is so effective at reducing the enemy’s physical strength and spiritual morale.

The same applies to any organization, aka gang or lynch mob. Once their leaders are taken out, they lose leadership and initiative. Their members start thinking more about their own self-survival than the combined group goal of murder and mayhem.

But even if this was not true, the advantage of being the first to attack in order to cut in on the enemy’s OODA loop, would still be too good to pass up.

I remember that, Nazism unlike Communism, had their leaders terminated. Thus, Nazism is dis-proven and their adherents scattered to the four winds, while COmmunism is still around in coherent organizations.

What’s left of the death penalty in the states is too clean and accommodating.

It’s hypocritical, like all Leftist inventions. They want to keep people in jail for life without due process. We care about a person’s innocence or guilt, they only care about whether the person gets life imprisonment or life imprisonment + execution. Their claims to moral superiority stands upon sand.

Thanks for the link and your comments.

example of the thugs by piling up their dead bodies

The example of ‘dead thugs piling up’ should work; but I think the thugs of this planet have a death wish as it is. I would be willing to grant them their ‘dying wish’ if I thought it would make a dent. What’s left of the death penalty in the states is too clean and accommodating.
The problem is the method. – Bring back the firing squad.

For the protectors and parents – ALWAYS expect the unexpected.

It’s inexplicable why they would do that, aside from deliberately concealing a very unsavory thirteen second video. The new video is completely different! And yet it too is EXACTLY thirteen seconds in length. Don’t you think that is troubling? Definite concealment is indicated by the fact that both the old video and the new one have precisely the same length. This is a deliberate deception.

This is not the first time that the same link in YouTube has taken us to a new video. It is deception of the highest order. They can (and should) post new videos of course… but only via new link addresses. To do the switcheroo on is gives me 1984-style chills.

I ran across this with the Terry Tate videos where he produced a video showing him viciously pile-driving Sarah Palin into the ground, where she lay broken and moaning – audibly moaning, saying “hurt, hurt”, while he stood menacingly over her body, leaning down over her while she lay there broken, and just wildly screaming at her.

A few days later, that same link had been replaced by a new version of the video. The new one had a new audio mix, with Palin no longer moaning and whimpering the words “hurt, hurt”, but instead chipperly announcing “nope, not hurt here!” The new audio juxtaposed with the same broken-body imagery was also chilling in a 1984-way.

If you _don’t_ use violence, you’ll be as good as dead.

Sometimes you have a choice. Sometimes you don’t.

The video was quite good. Teaches much about life.

As for your link, I feel sorry for the father. He has an honest and admirable desire to protect his family. But he lacks the tools or the foundation upon which to do it. And the guns won’t solve this problem.

The right to bear arms is not the right of arms to bear you through your troubles. You must use such things, not the other way around. Guns won’t save your family. You must. And if you can’t, if you don’t know how because your society gelded you, well no gun is going to fix that problem.

Until you make an example of the thugs by piling up their dead bodies, they have no reason to leave you alone. Why should they leave you alone? Like they left Sarah Palin alone?

No, the aspect of guaranteed death is the only consequence people pay a mind to when it comes to the gory goings on of the real world. And not just the cradle care world of American prosperity and security in the West. Of course, guaranteed legal punishment can often be just as effective. But we’re under the Obama now. What guarantee is there any more? So you need to ramp up the quality of the punishment, if you can’t ramp up its certainty. Otherwise, prepare yourself to for something far worse than what you have suffered to today.

I can almost hear it now. People talking about “if you use violence, you’ll be as bad as the thugs”. Don’t kid me here. 25 to 50, or even just 12 ‘youths’, couldn’t break and kill a man on the ground? Don’t insult me by comparing me with them; their gross incompetence and childhood games. Weakness is to be despised. In a man or woman. More so in a defender of one’s family. And especially in a thug and crook. Which is why weakness, in addition to being worthy of being despised, should also be worthy of excoriating.

Obama put out his hand more than once. The photo is of the last in the succession. After each hand reach, it gets shorter and shorter, both in terms of extension and in terms of time.

Obama the narcissist would have expected a handshake, for isn’t he the equal of the Russian? The idea of self-deprecation or of the low totem pole position of a humble host does not sit naturally with him.

The careful media manager cannot manage to put a good face on American relations.

Personally, it does not matter what the details are. Obama makes America look bad.

The title is factually incorrect. But you could not create a better parody, because it is based and derived from the truth. Barack leading the President of South Korea in the wrong direction after an announcement, and before the announcement he went to the wrong podium.
