#1 Youch, that was LOOOOONG - next time generate a free website on geocities (or similar) to post it, then edit for length & post a synopsis here and a link to the geocities site.

#2 Thanks for the read. I guess the Geneva Convention is out then? Perhaps we should send Gore to the Middle East so he can sweat on them and holler?

It's time to strap it on, but getting beyond the moonbats is a struggle (could be a deadly one).

#3 The article is at

http://www.geocities.com/rantburg/

If you want to trim the above and link to it, go ahead.

I am mailing the registration info for that to Fred so we can use it as a "spare" area for things that are not on the web.

I suggest everyone get their own though.

#4 Den Beste already blogged this and put a copy up on his website.

What happened to Fred's old core dump site?

#7 Fits in nicely with my own view. Relentless targeting of the meanies and denial of such targeting. A bitch slap to those who try to hide behind international law. It should become very uncool to be in the jihadie camp. Nasty but thats what it will take to win this war.

As in, what does a victory in this war look like, the status quo? Airport security, train security, security, security and more security. No the victory should look like peace in the valley.

There should be no borders in the WoT. If a gov turns a blind eye to the meanies, we should turn a blind eye to their soverignity.

Lets face it, islam is the vehicle for recruiting the fodder. So those that do the recruiting, the spiritual leaders and the money guys (be it banks that specialize in numbered accounts) should be attacked.

Free the Muslims, destroy the pillars.

#8 "Lucky, my very good friend?

"Yes Abu, thank you for that smile."

"Shouldn't we wait until many more are killed by the brigades of islam's holy fighters?"

"I see your point Abu, but of course those hits will be timed to allow public sentimate to cool in between."

"Ah yes, many more need to die first then."

#9 These are the four main pillars of the current World Conflict, or perhaps we should already refer to it as "the undeclared World War III." I have no better name for the present situation. A few more years may pass before everybody acknowledges that it is a World War, but we are already well into it.

It's nice to see someone openly admit this.

Do you raid a mosque which serves as a terrorist ammunition storage? Do you return fire, if you are attacked from a hospital? Do you storm a church taken over by terrorists who took the priests hostages? Do you search every ambulance after a few suicide murderers use ambulances to reach their targets? Do you strip every woman because one pretended to be pregnant and carried a suicide bomb on her belly? Do you shoot back at someone trying to kill you, standing deliberately behind a group of children? Do you raid terrorist headquarters, hidden in a mental hospital? Do you shoot an arch-murderer who deliberately moves from one location to another, always surrounded by children? All of these happen daily in Iraq and in the Palestinian areas. What do you do? Well, you do not want to face the dilemma. But it cannot be avoided.

There are the tougher questions we must all face. The answers are rather disturbing but overcoming terrorism will not be child's play.

#7 If a gov turns a blind eye to the meanies, we should turn a blind eye to their soverignity.

I've been advocating this for a while, Lucky. We should start with Sudan as a small demonstration of our displeasure. Decap their entire government and let them start over. I do not see how it could get any worse and future generations of Sudanese leaders would never be able to dismiss the chance that they would be blown straight to hell if they indulged in a little more genocide. Works for me.

I agree that this article is an excellent tutorial. (Or maybe I'm biased, as this is the same conclusion I arrived at two years ago when I asked myself, "what is the solution, to the prese nt Jihad?"
I don't like the term War On Terror, as it essentially makes it appear to be something unique, rather than a continuation of the Muslim Jihad, started by Mohammed and the same strategy is being followed.
Jihad ALWAYS starts with a campaign of terror and then moves into a more symmetric phase.
I compare it to bullfighting. First madden and weaken the bull, then move in for the kill. The "Ah Ha" moment for me was after reading Paul Fregosi's "Jihad in the West: Muslim Conquests from the 7th to the 21st Centuries"
Same tactics , same strategy, same reliance on terror. And least we forget, the they toppled two empires within a generation, so from a military point of view it's not a bad strategy.
The link I posted to the same article on 7/1 has now expired on Secular Islam but can be accessed through this link

#11 Thanks tipper, it was about two years ago for me also. though I knew a war with islam was in the cards long before. WoT, agreed. Perhaps the "War to free muslims" would be better. The one thing that has bothered me about this war, from Afgan to Iraq, is not to let this war turn into the "Sands of Iwo jima", a nation building program that bleeds us weak. I think the WH has this on their minds. The handoff and military lite ops in Afganistan seem to respect this.

But the gloves need to come off regarding who the major enemy is. If it needs to be nation states such as Iran, so be it. But I'd rather go after the fundies in all of old islam.

Zenster, I know, I agree.
