Odumba can’t make this look like a surrender.

No matter what he does, it's going to look like an American surrender. Whatever is said to those knuckledraggers won't change a thing. Let our actions, not our words, rule the day.

Even in retrospect, I have no problem with our going into Iraq or Afghanistan. Where I parted company with Bush, is that I have no compassion for muslims and would have devastated them, then pulled out. I would not have spent one cent to rebuild or or occupy them. I would have let them know that were they to reconstitute themselves into another threat to us, we would return with more devastation.

No matter what you do for or to a muslim, at the end of the day you are still the infidel and they will always hate you.

Who ever said anything about winning? Where the real decisions are made...The Fed...and the rest of the one worlders...the money pit is performing exactly to plan. And our man child president, while not performing at same level as his predecessor, is doing a capable job.

What did our professor Obama call the Libyan military campaign? A kinetic military exercise? Was that kinetic in the sense of the movement of wealth?

I can’t disagree with a single word he said. I especially like this:

“It’s about blowing him to hell and leaving the next guy shaking in his boots so bad that he throws down his gun and runs. Peace is on the other side of victory, and victory comes from smashing the living snot out of any person, nation, culture, tribe, organization or religion that dares look at you cross-eyed.”

If a presidential candidate gave a speech like this he would win in a landslide.

At the same time, we need to do 2 other long-term things (after replacing the Muslim-in-Chief who usurped our White House, and sending to jail and/or executing all who aided and abetted his treasonous crimes against this Republic):

1. Close our borders to illegal immigration. For real.

2. Limit the real Muslim population in the US (including all residents) to less than 5% of the population, since at 10% Muslims go from being law-abiding, decent folks to political operatives who have a duty to oppose the US Constitution and push for sharia instead. IOW, enemies of our Constitution. That means that we need to monitor the childbirth rate among Muslims as well as the conversion rates to and from Islam and use that rate to calculate whether or not to let any more Muslims in. If we already have too many here, given the birth and conversion rates, then we need to start deporting, disallowing student visas, etc.

For a long time I have said we should have started to pull out of Iraq when they had their first free election. After that they can fight and die for their freedom. Not us. Politic’s kept us there. If they cannot keep their own freedom, its their problem and I don’t believe in making the other guys problem, mine....I have enough of my own..

The last three presidents have done poorly. While President Obama has given it his usual unique touch, blame also goes to President George W. Bush for not undertaking an overwhelming punitive Afghan mission while the WTC ruins were still smoking. The biggest blame of the three presidents goes to President Clinton who had other things he felt more important to do than a undertake a serious and quick full effort to stop the attacks before they reached the US. Clinton, more than Bush and Obama put together, failed America.

Why do we think we have to raise the standard of living to every country we go to war with? When a country or group strikes us, like 9-11, we complete and totally destroy them with no mercy. Then let those who lived through it live with it. Our enemies will think long and hard before they mess with us.

Don’t give up on Afghanistan yet,we can make them fill good about themselves.

Obama tasked the head of the space agency with the “foremost” job of reaching out to dominantly Muslim nations to sure up their belief in their historical achievements in math and engineering.

And the women come out to cut up what remains,

The Brits knew about Islam.

A quote from an 1899 book by Winston Churchill, "The River War", in which he describes Muslims he apparently observed during Kitchener's campaign in the Sudan

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.

I couldn't agree more but to posture a guess about your Nation-building question.....because it costs more money to build a Nation than it does to nuke it.

When it comes right down to it, all this Nation building has turned Americans into the world's slaves.

I agree, except for one part “we deposed the Taliban”. The Taliban are not going anywhere, no matter how long we are there and how many troops we send. They are like cockroaches. Kill one and miss the hundred we don’t see. The Sh##Hole is not worth another drop of American blood. Mexico is the most immediate threat to us, and we are ignoring it entirely. Mexico is where the next 9/11 terrorist will enter from, and the drug cartels are where they will get the money and support to do their dirty deeds. That is where out troops need to be, clearing out the murderous scum there.

“We tried. It didn’t work. Screw ‘em. Let’s come home.”

Two super powers in the last century and the beginning of this century have poured their resources and life blood into bringing that place into the civilized and developed world.

No other place on earth, with as much foreign money, material and assistance would YET remain as backward, poor, brutal, underdeveloped and generally hopeless!!

It they are backward, poor, brutal, underdeveloped and generally hopeless...it is by THEIR choice. It's what they want above all else.

Time for us to go!
