Msg. Feb 12, 2007; “Wake Up America!”

I just caluclated the money the U.S. has spent on the war in Afghanistan and Iraq could have funded over five and one half million four year college degrees. American security certainly is not free.

Iraq? Iran? Middle East Peace? Oil? Radical Islam? North Korea? What do we do now? That, is the question! Personally, instead of asking the American people to foot the bill, I think we should fire Condoleeza Rice, and find someone to start conducting an aggressive, effective, and massive diplomatic effort directed at the region and the world at large. An effort demonstrating why they are just as vulnerable to Islamic Fascism, and are ultimately co-responsible for securing Iraqi unity and peace; they should be helping the U.S. stabilize Iraq and protect the citizenry.

The world community should all be committing their troops and treasure as well; in order to muster an overwhelming force; The Powell Doctrine. Much like they do when cooperating on relief efforts to help other countries subsequent to natural disasters.

 Having deployed the unilateral Bush doctrine we have allowed the world community to become so utterly dysfuntional; to stand around and play like they’re  spectators while their house is burning down. This is the mistake that needs to be corrected.

It won’t just be the U.S. who suffers if the Iranians succeed in destablizing the entire middle east.

Its easier to criticize and pass non-binding resolutions than cooperate and build a reasoned concensus that demonstrates a unified front against the enemy. “I told you so,” isn’t constructive. Using the war effort to discredit the present administration for political gain and pleasure is at the very least, despicable.

WE ARE AT WAR! WAKE UP WORLD! WE ARE ALL AT WAR with a deadly enemy and  jihadist ideology that would like nothing better than to use the heart of the middle east for their terror platform. Estimates of global radical Islamist are approaching three-hundred million. Its time for the U.N. to step up and work for what it was empowered to do; promote peace, unity, and mutually assured survival against rogue nations and idealogues. It was not chartered to orchestrate the destruction and disassembly of the U.S.A.

WAKE UP AMERICA! WAKE UP AND SEE THE FACE OF YOUR ENEMY! They are here, now! We should not encourage them and give them hope, just because they hate George Bush. They hate us all.

Msg. Jan. 18, 2006; “To Surge or Insurge? That is the question!”

Surge 20,000 or 100,000 troops? I say, no “out-posting,” no “street patrols” for American soldiers. Our only job should be, is to garrison our troops and suppress any gathering or consolidated attack formations presented by opponents and enemies of the elected Iraqi government.  

Let the Iraqis slog it out or reconcile, and stop blaming us for their own ignorance and errors of judgment. We should just sit in our air conditioned Iraqi garrisons (The Green Zone) and hold our strategic beachhead in the war on middle east Fascist Islam and the evil Imperialists in Iran. We should use such a strategic and secure position in Iraq to gather good solid middle east inteligence and conduct special forces clandestine raids to harass and injure our enemy.  Such a posture would, I believe, allow us time to prepare here at home to hear and fashion the “bipartisan” and international plan for victory; a unified movement forward against Islamic Fascisim. 

In the mean time, we can wait for the day when the fledgling Iraqi government (Al Malarki) can, if ever, exercise their “sovereignty” over the sectarian militias, terrorists, proxy fighters, and regional interventionist. Then, maybe, we’ll listen to their blustery edicts to the U.S.A. about what we can and cannot do in their country. We may as well use their lands to our advantage; we’ve certainly paid for the privilege. We did after all conquer them, twice!  

I’ll take a stalemate in advancing a democratic regime in Iraq. It would be nice to see it succeed but it may not and it isn’t from a lack of our effort. It was worth a try. “You can lead a horse to water…” 

The most devastating thing we could do is engineer cars that run on electricity. We should concentrate on sucking the blood of the snake dry (interrupt the flow of dollars funding their power and projection of power; petrol wealth) as opposed to attempting to chop its head off. In the American desert of thought on this subject I can’t think of a better source of metaphoric nourishing protein to fuel our survival. PUN intended….

Msg. Nov. 13, 2006; China Our Friend or Foe?

The Washington Times reported a Chinese submarine stalking the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Kittyhawk and other vessels of the U.S. fleet,  undetected in the pacific ocean at the end of last month. That shouldn’t come as any surprise, should it? Especially after the revelations published in 1999 in The Cox Report,  issued by the select U.S. Congressional Committee. The report, summarized an investigation into Chinese espionage and how the PRC stole U.S. national security secrets and nuclear weapons technology here in the U.S. over several decades.  It was possibly the worst breach of national security in U.S. history. The report reveals that the cumulative effect of the national security breach has resulted in the proliferation of secret U.S. weapons technology to other countries.  In my opinion, The Cox Report just further emphasizes the danger and prevelance of federal government incompetence, lack of accountability, corporate treason, and poor, if any, congressional oversight.

AP filed a report in Forbes,  that within days of the surfacing naval embarrasment,  a high ranking Chinese military delegation was hosted by U.S. Pacific Fleet Commanders on a ” …tour of the USS Preble in San Diego and observed a demonstration of an amphibious assault vehicle and weapons simulation training at Camp Pendleton…” AP also reported, Admiral Gary Roughead, Commander of U.S. Pacific Fleet, is meeting today with PRC military officers in Beijing, China. ABCNews reporter Audra Ang reports Admiral Roughead stated, “The thrust of our discussions will really be in how our navies can gain a better understanding of one another.”   In light of these reports and previous Chinese espionage, what is more scary, that the PRC is tracking our vessels, undetected, with submarines or the fact that our top Naval Brass is happily ”showing” them around American vessels, war technology, and active duty military personnell?
