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."

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!

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.

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

There’s a lot of these resume building, worthless “generals” around, usually backstabbers, ticket puncher (those that served know of what I speak) types.

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.

The new administration is about power and central control. To achieve that, you have to scare the sheep into cooperation. Watch for a new crisis every time they want more of your freedom.

Roger that Steamburg. I see you get it.

US peacekeepers didn’t work out in Lebanon under Reagan, either. They are targets, and their hands are tied.

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.

we have mental retards in office in DC

The term is "developmentally disabled", and comparing the developmentally disabled to those in office in DC is an insult to the developmentally disabled.

Do you have a link to the FBI data? I'd like to see what other terrorist organizations they include.

Here's the National Counterterrorism Centers’ website. There's a detailed report for 2007, far too long to read in a single sitting, which might be helpful to you. The search engine ‘hits’ for the FBI reports, were limited to finding the overall figures (14,000 terrorist incidents/20,500 deaths) but the blame was nonspecific.

http://www.nctc.gov/

The U S State Departments’ website may be useful to your quest. The data is for the year 2006.

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.
