Top US military officer calls pastor over film

It really doesn't make sense. I do not suspect some conspiracy, but something just is wrong about the whole thing.

It doesn't make sense from a western point of view, perhaps, but if you look at from an enemies perspective it certainly does.

If you were going to battle the world's only Superpower, how would you go about it?

Using the military is out of the question, as are the unrealistic rules (from an enemies pov) established by the Geneva Convention.

And what is the preferred outcome of a war?

The understanding of war in the west follows the same archaic notion that has been around for centuries, with rules established over the years that need to be abolished if winning remains the objective.

The British in North America had their foolish (though noble to them) military rules so the enemy adjusted and created their own rules, This is what is happening now, and the Islamists are, I must admit, doing a helluva job. Will the West in general recognize these adaptations or will they remain locked in their traditional methods? That's the question that will have to be answered if the west is to survive.
 
Another who believes whatever the US President or the Taliban tells them.



Why would they target UK soldiers if the person who made the film is a loner in southern California? Any ideas, or do you just swallow this whole?

lol why would they attack a German embassy they had nothing to do with it yet they did attack their embassy. Also its not just British soldiers who operate out of this base the US Marines and other US military personal use the base including two marines who were killed on Sept 12th. Do some reasearch before you try to act the smartass with me Grant.
