Islamic Prelude Ignored

.
There has been Islamic Terror in the world for centuries.

In recent years Muslim terrorists have ramped up their push toward worldwide Islamic domination. They attack our weaknesses with their brutal and medieval way of war. The result is not one nation against another,  but one TERRORIST [with no regard for human life] against every INFIDEL. Tracking their most recent acts of terrorism clearly justifies  our war in Afghanistan and our pre-emptive strike against Iraq. We must not forget the events that have led to WORLD WAR IV.

Unfortunately, it was the US that largely carried out the Pan Am 103 bombing just giving the Iranians a small walk on part.

I am unclear on your definition of a weak response. Reagan bombed Ghadafi's house and killed one of his kids which did have a decent impact on getting him off the world stage as a promoter of terrorism. And W. invaded Afghanistan with the CIA and 300 Special Forces operators and overthrew the Taliban within a couple of months of 9/11. Something that British or the Soviets had been unable to do in years of trying.

charles . . I'm not sure I understand your comment. One string of events starts with the bombing of a Berlin nightclub and Reagan's retaliation bombing of Tripoli and Bengazi in 1986. Then our guys mistakenly (?) shot down an Iranian jet killing the 290 passengers.Somehow these events might be linked to the Pan Am 103 Loclerbie bombing that killed 259 passengers. I don't think anyone ever proved who did it.

Maybe Libya? Maybe Iran? Maybe Kilroy?

And Ingineer66 . . as usual you are right. I will edit the comment accordingly. Thank you.

Iranians?
They had something to do with destroying PanAm 103? WHODATHUNKIT?!!
I TRULY learn something every day while readin' these here bloggin' things!

How slow-learners can look at this list and still argue we are not at war with these misogynistic bastards is beyond me.

Still, some argue just that.
I think more remedial training is needed Dixon, and I think you're just the guy to do it!

I know a solution. Instead of giving Arab men between the ages of 16 and 35 the rubber glove treatment before we let them on a plane or into the country lets harass old women about their knitting needles or young mothers about bottles with breast milk in them. I am certain that will keep America safe from radical Muslims. ;-)

Why Blackwater Mercenaries

Over some years the name Blackwater shows  up in the news. It is, by their own estimation, the largest mercenary group in the world. I think I first noticed it when reports from Iraq mentioned they were employed (by whom?) to escort and protect members of the Iraqi government from place to place. Then I became aware that they had joined several of the firefights between our marines and Iraqi enemies. I wondered just how these mercenaries (that supposedly came from the United States) were  hired by someone (who?) to fight? That led to the question of just who would be responsible if a situation involved the accidental killing of an innocent bystander? It  might be a little sticky for an unauthorised mercenary contracted by the United States but not a member of our military forces.  Or suppose a Blackwater type killed a military Iraqi combatant and was then captured by the enemy. Would he be treated as a spy, or as a American combatant, or whatelse...

Gloves Off

. OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS BETRAYED OUR TRUST AGAIN. Whether we are Democrat or Republican, Liberal or Conservative, makes no difference at all. Our legislators voted according to "what's best for them". It was clear that the people want to reduce the costs and improve access to our overall health care system. It was also VERY CLEAR that they did not want the 2000 page legislative monstrosity that was produced by a small number of far left liberal Democrats, who worked behind closed doors to fashion a pork filled blunderbuss that virtually no one has been able to read, or discuss, or debate, or offer alternatives to specific unreasoned clauses. It is (now) a BAD BILL , passed by BAD POLITICIANS, that compose a BAD MINORITY segment of America's out-of-control government. AND WE HAVE NO LOGICAL WAY TO PAY FOR IT EITHER. The far left liberals like to point at  SOCIAL SECURITY   as a text book success. They are wrong and will not admit it despi...

Peter Arnett Visits The Geezers

PETER ARNETT 7-22-2010 Yesterday our guest at the  Geezer's Book Club meeting was the intrepid journalist, Peter Arnett.  Ray Herndon, one of our regular members, has known Peter Arnett for over  40 years. They were friendly competitive reporters during the war in Viet Nam, and the friendship has survived several wars since.  Peter began speaking with an overview of his time in  Viet Nam, and then briefly related a few highlights of the first 1st and 2nd war in Iraq.  After taking a deep breath, Peter focused on the intended subject of the day, China and the Chinese people.   CHINA Peter is now teaching journalism at a college about 400 miles north of Hong Kong, near the Chinese coast. Peter is 76 years old, in good health, full of energy and enjoys his job as an educator. In that capacity he is able to travel unhindered (not everyone can) throughout China. He has personally observ...
