A GLOBAL AGE OF BARBARISM, MEDIEVALISM, ETC. VIOLENCE AND CONQUEST MUST ENSUE WHILE THE EARTH REVITALIZES = REPLENISHES ITS NATURAL OIL TO FORMER LEVELS.
But that'll take a billion years.

#8  One of the premises of anti-US Asymmetric Warfare is to induce America and its VOLUNTEER NON-DRAFT ARMY to unilaterally use up enemy-perceived scarce US supplies of Oil = POL, and to force Amer's dedicated maneuver forces to engage in [casualty-heavy] STATIC WARFARE. Anti-US Leftist-SOcialist-Govtist OWG politicos will do the rest.

#7  JosephM dear, it was because of your posts that I came to see how brittle the Islamists really are. I don't have the slightest doubt you're right about their desire to initiate an American Hiroshima, but I continue to hope they will never actually acquire the capability.

#6  Congress is composed of Congresspersons = Congresscritters, and the same are fickle. Radical Islam = Iran, etc. is presently losing its war agz America both regionally and globally. ALQaeda + Moud-Mullahs, etal. can no longer rely on anti-Amer American-Western pols, or even the MSM, to at minima engage in bilateralism or multilateralist policies to the benefit = NOT to the detriment/disadvantage of Radical Islamism. As "Warriors/Lions of God-Islam", the Islamists likely can not stop fighting worldwide becuz it will humiliate both their movement + Islam-Islamism in general. IMO Radical Islam has no recourse except to initiate Amer Hiroshima(s) events inside America, as well as to wilfully induce conventional-nuclear confrontation amongst the great powers. THE LATTER IS WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THOSE RADICAL MULLAHS WHOM HAVE ARGUED THAT A GLOBAL AGE OF BARBARISM, MEDIEVALISM, ETC. VIOLENCE AND CONQUEST MUST ENSUE WHILE THE EARTH REVITALIZES = REPLENISHES ITS NATURAL OIL TO FORMER LEVELS.

#5  all of us who are privileged to serve there should set aside whatever partisan or ideological differences divide us to send a clear, strong and unified message to Tehran that it must stop everything it is doing to bring about the death of American service members in Iraq.

Strongly worded letter to follow.

Geeze. Is Lieberman running for prez?

#3  I disagree JQC. I think Congress will respond.

Appeasement is a "response."

#2  Too many congress critters have their eyes on the upcoming elections and trying to get elected or re-elected. I wish Washington would show some cajunes about some of the important issues in our country. The Senate only reacted to the immigration bill because of the hugh outpouring of disgust directed at Washington by the electorate.
