So many will never get it, that so subtle fact that we are managing the Mid East so as to keep the Saudi Oil from coming under unfriendly control.

That's been pretty much explicit for more than six decades. When FDR met with King Abdul Aziz Ibn-Saud, on a US warship in the Suez canal, the understanding was that the US would promise to back the House of Saud if the Saudis promised to maintain the flow of oil.

At the time, it was a hedge against Hitler, then it was a hedge against the USSR. But today, you've got to look at the Saudis and ask, "with friends like these ..."

The democrats are more of a threat to this nation than the Islamofascists.

Really? How many planes have Democrats flown into skyscrapers? How many Democrats have strapped on suicide bomb belts and boarded buses? How many armed militants does the Democratic Party have?

Sorry to pounce on you with this, but it's been a gripe of mine for a long time. There is a difference, one we're missing, between an opponent and an enemy. It was not an army of Democrats or of Republicans that defeated Hitler.

Without the enemy within this nation, the medieval Islamist cannot defeat this nation. But with the undermining of our nation from within by the leftist democrats of today playing political empowerment by undermining our military and the commanders, we are in far graver danger than in WWII.
