The ancient Chinese warrior Sun Tzu taught his men to "know your enemy" before going into battle. For if "you know your enemy and know yourself," he wrote, "you need not fear the result of a hundred battles." But, Sun Tzu warned, "If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat."

The War on Terror will not be won until America is united. And as long as Democrats target the Bush administration -- not the terrorists -- as the enemy, we are in trouble.

Right on Ollie........and that's why Democrats deserve to have their "patriotism" questioned day and night.

Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North nails it again.

Know you enemy - I agree but also know who the enemy is; the DNC should not be treated as 'misguided' but as the enemy and dealt with in the appropriate manner. The greatest threat to America comes from within!

and how many American beheadings will Michael Moore be responsible for? His treasonous film will only enflame and embolden our enemy. He should be arrested. After all, we are at war. Great piece, Ollie.
BTW, as I protested outside a Syracuse theatre/mall, one movie-goer yelled "Bush is the enemy" and another told me that we need to stop "bombing and killing babies"

Ollie is dead on. Our domestic enemy has done nothing but politicize the war on terror and impede/obstruct/oppose our efforts as a country to win this war...

This needs to be repeated as much as possible, particularly since The Bloated One will have a prime time spot at the RAT Convention.

Aye. Especially since the day he's being honored by the leftist masses marks the 35th anniversay of Chappaquiddick.

Today's enemy is instead goaded by a twisted belief it has a holy mission to advance its religion and and drive Western influence -- meaning Judeo-Christian values -- from any Islamic territory.

This is the only statement with which I disagree with Colonel North. Their "holy mission" is to drive Judeo-Christian values (and Hindu values, Buddhist values, etc.) from the face of the earth.

The prison issue has inflamed the Arab world because too many of our political and media elites have treated the shameful actions of a few soldiers in an Iraqi prison as though it was the modern equivalent of the My Lai massacre. The blood of Paul Johnson is on their hands.

This needs to be repeated again and again.

The Western World is deeply sick. It's immune system is dibilitated by an AIDS-like syndrome: Leftism.

As a result, it is vulnerable to opportunistic infections, the most virulent of which is Islamofacism.

I do believe we have to consider the Dems, A.N.S.W.E.R and the rest as terrorists.

The oath of office says to defend the United States against ALL ENEMIES, both FOREIGN and DOMESTIC.

Most of the Democrap Party are DOMESTIC ENEMIES!
