Then there&#039;s things like Benghazi where the less US military personnel are around, the better. ]]></description>

&quot;An army cannot win a war and win over the New York Times at the same time. And so long as it fears Incidents more than operating in an aimless counterinsurgency twilight that eventually shades into defeat, then it is bound to lose both to both the terrorists and the New York Times.&quot;

Hiroshima and Nagasaki two &quot;incidents&quot; that ended WWII in the Pacific. Sixty years after the Korean War, fifty years post Viet Nam, eleven years after September 11, 2001 ... no incidents and no means to an end. The politicians and generals just keep rearranging the soldiers on the war board.

		<description><![CDATA[Michael Adams 2: &lt;em&gt;Israel targets the heat signatures of the weapons, and hits them with deadly accuracy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;,  causing heavy civilian casualties in the building underneath.&lt;/em&gt; 

 Michael, it&#039;s been my understanding that Israel skips those targets, for the exact reason of avoiding such heavy casualties.  And that&#039;s one of the reasons they are considering going with a ground troop invasion: To clean out Hamas military assets such as missiles and launchers that they have ruthlessly and cynically installed at elementary schools, mosques, hospitals, etc.

It seems to me, by the way, that if a mosque is to be considered a holy shrine, and untouchable during a military conflict due to its utter, complete sacredness, that the LAST thing anyone would ever do, is to store missiles within the mosque, or place missile launchers next to a mosque.  Nor would combatants or terrorists ever hide within a mosque.  If it&#039;s so very sacred, that is.  This inquiring mind would like to understand.  Ahem.

		<description><![CDATA[Greetings:

Islam is the millstone.  If your plan doesn&#039;t include constraining, undermining, or eradicating Islam, you don&#039;t have a plan.  What you have is a hope.

Every &quot;Islamist&quot; that comes down the camel track tell us that what he does and wants done is what the Koran requires of him and them, and yet what the West has for leaders these sorry days continue to bend over backwards to reinforce the &quot;Religion of Peace&quot; propaganda.  A while back I was watching one of those real crime news program and the prosecutor was going on about motive and opportunity.  Well, for those Islamaniacs extant, the Koran is the motivation and they are just looking for their or any opportunity.

When Eastern Europe and Russia fell out from under the Marxist-Leninist yoke, it was because that failed ideology had be so constrained militarily and politically, so undermined as to be laughable, that its eradication was the only viable alternative.  Yet, even Israel&#039;s leaders refuse to connect the ideological dots and hold Islam and all its intendant nonsense up to public ridicule.

More than ten years after the worst terrorist attack in America&#039;s history, we are still trying to whistle past the graveyard that is Islam.

		<description><![CDATA[Although the Party&#039;s propagandists would like for you to forget, you must not: Hamas puts rocket launchers and mortars on the roofs of apartment buildings. Israel targets the heat signatures of the weapons, and hits them with deadly accuracy,  causing heavy civilian casualties in the building underneath. (as intended) Then the media start talking about those heavy casualties, much heavier on the Arab side than for the Israelis. The Geneva and more so, the Hague Conventions place the responsibility under international law upon the belligerent who fights from civilian residential areas, or from cultural and religious sites. They want us to forget that, too. Evil incarnate.]]></description>
