#2 When Carter was President, he attacked South Korea's human rights record, without acknowledging the context - a hostile North - of the country's national security concerns. It took public protest to shake Carter. Someday a US President will acknowledge the imperialist nature of Islam and the inherent supremacism of Muslims. But don't hold your breath while waiting.

#3 Well ok, I'll give Barry the benefit of the doubt here. He may be on to something! How about we just pull all of our trouble making military and diplomatic missions back to the States, resign from the worthless tit UN, and mind our own business for 5, 10, 20 years or so. Let the more "civilizaation" go at it at as they will and may the best man win. If they so much as blink at us, instantly zap them from space, napalm or nuke the hell out of them. No "nation building, no international aid or 'fix it' missions, just stay right here and leave them to it.

#4 Besoeker, I'd be game for that. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the street agitator doesn't have us involved in darfur in the next couple yrs.

#5 It's already upon us Broadhead. AFRICOM is becoming more involved in the subsaharan region every month. They'll be using the old Mobile Training Team (MTT) model at first, utilizing contractors. Watch it all unfold.

#6 While we haven't stayed out of the world's trouble spots, really, since dear Tommy Jefferson got into a snit about the Barbary pirates, we did try ignoring the jihadis for a while when President Clinton was running things, Besoeker. I don't think any of us are pleased with how that turned out.

#7 You must follow them back to their wolfsshanze TW and destroy it, and them! This is the only language the jihadis will understand. It is the only language they have ever understood. Until we to that, we're only wrestling in the mud with a swine.

#9 Sorry I'm a maverick here, the problem is we threaten, then when not listened to we threaten some more. It's well proved asking and saying "Please" is a waste of time.

I think we should give one warning and when ignored, blast them to hell, the second time folks will listen, (Maybe not the second, but you get the idea)

I don't want the USA to be loved, we've tried that, I want the world scared shitless, THAT will work.

Take hostages, you're dead, your home and neighborhood are a smoking debris pile.

Kill an American and your nation pays 10 million (Each)to the person's survivors, plus the above smoking hole where the neighborhood was.

No payment and their government suffers a huge hole where their capital used to be.

(Or military base, or dam and power plant etc, whatever hurts the worse)

Nukes are worthless, the world has gotten over their fear, we just won't use them, but normal High Explosives work just fine.

Demount the nukes, remount with either HE or a huge hunk of steel (Penetrator) drop said from orbit and a nuke looks puny.

Any international lawyer trying Hobble the USA legaly or sue for damages, kill and destroy as above. End "Lawfare" once and for all.

#10 I'm all for that too Redneck Jim. I'd also repeal the law of not being able to assassinate foreign leaders. Wetworks would be added into the mix as well.

"Sorry to hear, Mahmoud. You mean a jet full of Mullahs went down yesterday? That's just horrible. Have you figured out what caused the malfunction?"
