For a true accurate reading three sats are required at a min the more the better. 100m as far as weapons goes are for weapons that use GPS and not say a land mine. Thus if off more than 10m a target for which a GPS aided weapon would be selected would result in a miss; most smart weapons look for about 3m. Yes vendors have found someways to get around the SA but government has found ways to put it back. And due to it being turned off for sometime most vendors have actually moved on from tryng to over come the government SA actions do to cost and need.

You must also take in to account that any damage done over and above the target will get the military hammered.

I believe your in error here - it is my understanding that when it was turned on (SA) the accuracy was somewhere around 100 meters off it is 10 meters. At 100 meters it is useless for weapons.

I to must say that is the most interesting thing I have read today. Thank You!

He’s a very good man and will do the right thing.

Thanks for the post. Good read.

We can argue over what is and isn’t a value voter and how much or little they matter but what we should be talking about is the lack of values in our politicians’. Every year it’s the same thing over and over again. We end up with a democrat and a Republican who has moved a little to what they call the middle. Neither has kept many if any real core values.

True, but I would add some RINOs to the list as well.

This is what I sent to crongress:

Something to Investigate

The current congress is one that thinks its job is to investigate every possible error that may or may not have been committed. Thus in keeping with that philosophy, I submit an item that really should be investigated to its fullest. I think we should answer the question of how many American and Iraqi servicemen and women have died due to congress’ continued attacks against them in the open media? This has given hope to an otherwise beaten enemy and is furthermore the major reason for continued fighting in Iraq as well as in Afghanistan.

An enemy will not surrender if it feels it has a chance to survive to fight another day (has hope), or feels it’s enemy is losing the will or ability to fight faster than they are losing fighters or territory. If those that have been chosen to lead America did what they were paid to do; the war would, for the most part, be over with little more than clean-up left to be done. Instead they have done what is not best for America but what they believe is best for their party – hopefully this will be proven to be a false assumption and politically fatal.

If their actions cannot be called treason (and many believe it can and should be) it is the closest one could get – speaking legally – without crossing the line. Through their words and actions they have caused many more deaths than I think they are even aware of (as they must know their actions have directly resulted in increased numbers of soldiers and civilians killed in this war) by giving aid and comfort to the enemy. They are being used as what is commonly called “useful idiots” and as recruitment propaganda to increase our enemy’s ranks with more foot solders for cannon fodder, in this case suicide bombers.

The investigation I propose could be done by comparing the times before a major political figure makes some statement that is then carried across the battlefields as propaganda against American interests; and immediately after a speech or article written against America by an American political leader. We would see who our enemy feels are allies or “useful idiots” here in America. Those whom they feel are fools selling out their country for some small sense of power; power that they would lose as well as their lives if our enemies should win.

The results of the investigation and the testimony of all that would have to defend their actions or lack there of, would make for an extremely important debate leading up to the 2008 elections. Then American’s would really know the truth about our leaders and not some bumper slogan, as well as if the 2006 elections were really about the war; which by the way, they were not. This is truly important for America, not only in this war but all that follow – show American’s the effects the so called leaders have on the ability of our war fighters to fight the wars they are sent to fight. Let the actions of those speaking out against the war know that they will not save life but will cause loss of life to be increased; and wasted if we should lose.

The “peace at any cost” crowd believe that if we were to just give the enemy what they want – pull our troops out of the Middle East –we would have peace. As proven throughout history appeasement’s only result is that it leads to a stronger more emboldened enemy willing to take even greater risks resulting in longer wars with a higher body count. It should also be noted that when the war does occur it’s on the appeasers’ lands. Wars can only be prevented though the knowledge and understanding that if one should be attacked that the attacker will lose more than they can or will gain. After 9/11 countries need to have an even clearer understanding that if they are perceived to pose a threat that they may be attacked. In this day and age to wait until attacked could mean the death of the nation or its way of life

Currently, like in World War I and II we are, for the most part, able to fight on the lands of the enemy. It is very probable if we were to pullout of the current battlefields then we would most certainly fight them on our lands, in our cites and in our streets; where the loss of our most innocent - our children - would pay an astronomical price, in blood. For what is happening over in Afghanistan and Iraq would happen here. Once the fight is brought to our homeland our enemy would be more emboldened, more bloodthirsty, willing to kill in even greater numbers – They consider us the “Great Satin”. Nothing would please them more than our total defeat and destruction of our way of life and no one would be able to stop them, as they would have seen us surrender, and would have reason to believe that we would summit to Islamic Law in time.

In closing, I again ask you to investigate this matter to its fullest and let the world know America is not just the members of congress. That what our leaders say is not always the true state of America. America is a country and although American’s are kind and compassionate we are not afraid to fight the long hard fight. Americans still believe in heroes and that the good guy always wins for you see AMERICA is the GOOD GUY. Let the world know that we Americans have not lost our will and will hold all that threaten us accountable, even if they were elected into office.

An American Standing Up

They will always take what they do and try to smear US with it. But they usually do it just before they do something big; then they can say we were just reacting to what they have been doing to us. SO the question is whats on their minds now?

Say it loud and often Dr. King! 48,589,993 abortions since 1973 it’s got to stop!

Yes it’s the way it always has been and always will be.

It’s a shame their leaders refuse to lead by example and blow themselves up. No they send out the sheep and hide in caves but, that to is the way of Mohammad.

Sorry! It just gets me shall I say a little upset to see them acting against us.

He isn’t entitled to his opinion while serving in congress and on foreign soil any more than someone in the military is. This should be dealt with as Treason!

Nice thought. As far as his failed Senate run didn't the GOP ask him to run late in the game?

Maybe after the EU is Islamic the left will get behind the war.

Whatever a Dem,Lib,etc. says just turn it 180 degrees and you’ll have the truth:
Fairness doctrine = no free speech (you keep winning thats not fair!)
Free Health care = If you work it’s not free.
I support the Troops = Gen. Betray Us.

How can anyone over 10 vote for them?

Terrorism is a tactic of gorilla warfare and we need to understand that. We are not at war with a tactic but with the military arm of Islam.

Why I’m leaning towards Fred:

One, who chooses a career in government, will not fix government by choice. Only someone who feels it is their duty to serve in government will do their duty and fix government. Thus it is up to the people to elect only those who feel it is their duty to serve the nation. A careerist will only do what is best for their career. And that is what is wrong with both parties; they no longer are there to serve the nation but, to increase the size of their party and thus enhancing their careers.

Like I say I’m leaning towards him but we’ll see. It’s still early.

Good post. When will those against the war wake up?

I believe that One, who chooses a career in government, will not fix government by choice. Only someone who feels it is their duty to serve in government will do their duty and fix government.

And for that reason I’m leaning towards Fred.
