A refreshingly objective analysis. lol
'nuff said
June, 1968, to December, 1968?
Gadzooks! This clown has only two months... more combat experience than Office of the President-Elect nObama!
God help the former United States of America!
That's true! Just ask... any of us!
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_L._Jones
"In January 1967, Jones was commissioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Marine Corps. Upon completion of The Basic School at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia, in October 1967, he was ordered to the Republic of Vietnam, where he served as a platoon and company commander with Golf Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines. While overseas, he was promoted to first lieutenant in June 1968.
Returning to the United States in December 1968, Jones was assigned to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, where he served as a company commander until May 1970."
October, 1967, to December, 1968?
Gadzooks! This clown has only 1 year, two months... more combat experience than Office of the President-Elect nObama!
God help the former United States of America!
Very scary stuff, Mr Robot!!
Be Ever Vigilant!!
Well, he certainly hasn’t spent any time on active duty since Vietnam, although he seems to have steadily climbed the career ladder.
One thing stood out for me, apart from his recent role in advising the Senate, which may have endeared him to Obama:
“Remaining in Washington, his next assignment was as the Marine Corps liaison officer to the United States Senate, where he served until July 1984. In this assignment, his first boss was John McCain, then a U.S. Navy captain.[2] He was promoted to lieutenant colonel in September 1982.”
Curious coincidence.
Yup :)
FYI: The number of terrorist attacks worldwide is WAY higher than what is reported in the image provided. Per the FBI; over 14,000 terrorist attacks took place in 2006 alone, resulting in more than 22,000 deaths, of which, approx. 28 of those deaths were Americans. The majority of the attacks were in Iraq and Afghanistan. Having said that, the rest of the world knows all too well, the pox that threatens their daily existence, otherwise known as terrorism. America, on the other hand, is fast asleep.
Correction to my post: I see that the subject figure in your post, only involves Islamic terrorist attacks. I reported a figure involving ALL known terrorism organizations and their attacks in my post. My mistake.
Enlightening post about how Israel keeps terrorist Muslims at bay. It’s hard work.
Not empty promises to nuke Iran if they hit Israel. No one can depend on such drek after Obama takes us out of Iraq prematurely
Careerists. Washington in general is full of them--look at the resumes of Obama's appointments--hardly an honest, real-life job anywhere in the combined histories of the lot of them. Why expect the high branches of the military tree to be any different.
Roger that Steamburg. I see you get it.
One of Reagans' few serious errors--putting "peacekeepers" in where there was no peace to keep. At least he learned from it and never tried it again, more than can be said for most of the rest of Washington.
Israel is a big aircraft carrier for the US in the middle east.
The only thing that has been proven to end or combat counter insurgency is intel and the judicious use of violence to combat support, funding and shelter of the guerillas.
The term is "developmentally disabled", and comparing the developmentally disabled to those in office in DC is an insult to the developmentally disabled.
Executive Order 10997: All electrical power, fuels, and all minerals well be seized by the federal government.
Executive Order 10998: All food resources, farms and farm equipment will be seized by the government. You will not be allowed to hoard food since this is regulated.
Executive Order 10999: All modes of transportation will go into government control. Any vehicle can be seized.
Executive Order 11000: All civilians can be used for work under federal supervision.

Executive Order 12919: Directs various Cabinet officials to be constantly ready to take over virtually all aspects of the US economy during a State of National Emergency at the direction of the president.
Executive Order 13010: Directs FEMA to take control over all government agencies in time of emergency. FEMA is under control of executive branch of the government.
Executive Order 12656: "ASSIGNMENT OF EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS RESPONSIBILITIES", "A national emergency is any occurrence, including natural disaster, military attack, technological emergency, or other emergency that seriously degrades or seriously threatens the national security of the United States. Policy for national security emergency preparedness shall be established by the President." This order includes federal takeover of all local law enforcement agencies, wage and price controls, prohibits you from moving assets in or out of the United States, creates a draft, controls all travel in and out of the United States, and much more.

How about we get the U.S. GOVERNMENT out of the picture so Israel can do what she needs to for her own protection. The aid going to Israel from our FedGov could be made up in private contributions. Many, many Evangelical Christians would be PROUD to contribute and it would remove any “veto authority” now exercised by the president and the congress over how Israel protects her own borders as SHE deems necessary. Then we’d have no more of these absurd “peace plans” which only serve to DE-stabilize the whole area and make their proponents out to be the braying jackasses we all KNOW they are.
Then we don’t have to have snide comments like yours rolling about the internet.
