Gloria Steinem, the famous feminist, followed me to the podium and looked at me like I was a lost child. She proceeded to explain to me that violence has never solved anything in the world.

Gloria Steinem, still a famous idiot after all these years.

Wow! I had no idea that Gloria Steinem had become pro-life!?!

Or did she really mean that "violence has never solved anything in the world, except when it's applied to an innocent unborn child in her mother's womb"???

I guess it should really surprise anyone that a prenatal terrorist would serve as an apologist for the postnatal variety, though.

I turned around to my Under Secretary of the Navy that morning and said—half as a joke—"I do not wish to become the father of the 350-ship Navy." Well, guess what! The last time I checked, which was several months ago, we were at 272.

Let's see, who was president during the time the number of naval vessels sunk to an all-time low?

Thanks, SMEDLEYBUTLER - I heard Hugh read this today from YOUR e-mail!

I will be bumping this to my "Hugh Hewitt PING list" - next...

First, I am indexing this for the Hugh Hewitt bump_list.

YOU can do this, too!
If you find ANY thread that may be of interest to Hugh Hewitt (or his listeners), just post a reply to "Hugh Hewitt," and THAT thread will be marked for retrieval, when that bump_list link is clicked.

(See also the OTHER interesting "bump_lists" on John Robinson's official "Free Republic Bump List Register.")

If you think we have problems in Israel, try putting a Judeo-Christian military system in the cradle of Muslim culture. And when you think about a military of 1.4 million people, with other responsibilities around the world, that is not a winnable situation.

I tried to say ten years ago, over and over again, that we must be involved only to the extent that it directly involves our national interests.

These arguments have been going on for 3,000 years. And when they do relate to our national interests, as this international terrorist movement does, we must act with a great deal of specific lethality.

We must go after the people who are doing this and eliminate them.

If you listen to Hugh Hewitt, or read his commentaries,
this PING list is for YOU!

(If you want OFF - or ON - my "Hugh Hewitt PING list" - please let me know.)

Please post your comments, and BUMP!

Can't they bomb those cave entrances with some kind of napalm to suck all the air out of the caves and kill the Islamic monsters hiding in there.

For craps sake, this is the 21st centruy, we should be able to smoke out those animals or kill them in there!!!!

In my opinion, we need to articulate clearly that we do not have a quarrel with the Muslim world.

But the part of the Muslim world that considers itself at war with us must be on notice.

Who are these people?
They are the ones conducting terrorist activities and those training and providing logistical support to them.
All those people, in my opinion, should be fair game.
Over time, we should see the people who are conducting this international campaign of terrorism being cut away from their support base.
Many good people were cut away from the support base of the South Vietnamese government.
I think there’s a direct parallel.

GOOD STUFF!! We need to get this guy BACK in a position of authority in our government!

As we watch the diplomacy play out, we must keep our eye also on the activities of China. I’ve been pushing my view for more than 12 years that China has consciously pursued a strategic axis with the Muslim world...

It has been fascinating over the past ten years to watch Asians in what we would call the second-tier countries—Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines—adjust to the United States receding from the region, as our military, and particularly our Navy, has grown smaller.

And they’ve watched China expand and, in effect, fill the vacuum.

Thank you, James Webb! We live in a dangerous world. It is time for MORE people in Washington to deal with that fact.

I got to here:

We have the right to do that, under the United Nations Charter.

and quit reading.

We have the moral obligation to find the vermin and gas, hang, behead, shoot, carve-into-little-bits, and eliminate; their kind from this planet.
