The Other Guy's Response (to the previous post)

**Sorry for the layout--BLogger is whoopin me**

Where to start.  Well, I guess I’ll start with what is going on.
(Name deleted) has
decided to start a bi-partisan caucus together that will inform
Members of Congress about terrorism.  There seems to be a basic
lack of education regarding Islam, terrorists, etc. in Congress-
and without it we cannot effectively engage the enemy.  So last
week I sat through meetings with over 20 terrorism experts
(face to face I’ll discuss more) and what was

going on around the world and what they thought we should
help other members

understand.

What I took from the experts (which all had diff. opinions)
and pieced

together what I believe to be- Iraq was the best move we could
have

made. We need a strategic base to send black ops out into
the region.  The

troop force argument is worthless as you look at the big
picture.  While we

sit here and argue troop levels the Iranians are sending
in tons of dollars

to gain political leverage while we send in tons of dollars
to build

infrastructure- which gains us nothing.  Adding more
troops isn’t going

to help or hurt because that’s not the issue.  The
insurgency is going to

keep coming because they want us to stay there longer
so they can get more

political leverage there with the people.  Iran wants
us there because they

aren’t really ready for a war yet.  Turkey wants us
there so they don’t

have to save the Kurds, and Saudi’s want us there so
they don’t have to

start a war with Iran over Sunni’s getting killed.
So the troop argument comes

from the western mindset, while the middle eastern
mindset could care less

about America or its troop levels.  They are set on
killing the other Muslims

so they have dominance and can set up the next part
of the caliphate. The

US is just a fly on their back that must be put up
with until the other ripe

fields are taken over (Somalia, Chechnya, etc.)  I
blame the

administration for allowing this troop level debate to
even go on because they won’t

level with the people that the argument isn’t important
compared to what we

should do in Northern Pakistan, etc.  But yea- we
should get someone who makes

us sacrifice, we should also be teaching anti-terrorism
in schools like we

did with communism.  But something has happened in
America- its like they

don’t believe reality if it challenges their thinking
or happy zone.  There

is some crazy stuff going on over there- and here too-
that have little to

nothing to do with us, yet we think they are fighting

us.  They have not even yet begun to even look at us.  
Right now we are a breeding ground

for money- and will stay that way until they have
taken more steps to build

their Islamic empire.  And they see this is a 100
years war where we

cannot even stomach a 4 year war where deaths are
not that extreme compared to

the other wars we have been in.

We are in trouble because we don’t think like our
enemy’s.  Our news

Feeds us the wrong information.  Our leaders cannot
provide the proper

Oversight to help the intel community do its work.
And our education system is

producing people who are not citizens- they are
individuals (and I’m

putting it nicely).  There is still hope, but it
is fading fast.

Hannibal ad portas!
