Exactly. The only solution is to nuke the entire middle east.

Not quite, That is not a solution at all. Firstly we must not allow political correctness to dictate how we define the enemy. Secondly we must take the threat seriously. Thridly we should completely seal off our borders and expell all muslims from the United States even those who were born here. Fourthly we must remain on the offense killing those who have declared war on us wherever they are. And we must draw the red line against the Iranians as Benjamin Netanyahu sugested and do it now. Then we have a chance, maybe.

I don't necessarily agree with everything Obama does, but I really think he is probably pretty upset and stressed out about this.

Thanks for your input...:roll:

This is more of what I am talking about. Libya cannot handle their own domestic issues so the US has dispatched the Marines a Rapid Response Team. I have no reason to believe the US is taking this lightly while Libya attempts to go after these murderers.

"When the Pentagon called out the Marines on Wednesday and dispatched them to Libya, it wasn’t the first wave of an invading force.

Instead, the 50 Marines are part of an elite rapid-response team and they were sent to assess and reinforce security in Libya in the aftermath of the attack in Benghazi that killed the U.S. ambassador there and three other Americans. Known as a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team, or FAST, the team’s role is to respond on short notice to terrorism threats and to bolster security at U.S. embassies. They operate worldwide, and the team that went is one of two that are based in Spain."

Marines headed to Libya to reinforce security

I bet he is using that ~6+ year old study that was funded by Soros, conducted by a Saddam henchman and thoroughly discredited shortly after publishing. The second great disgrace (recently) for that publisher (the first being an article about vaccines).
Click to expand...


To further expand on how embarrasing that study was...

The Saddam henchman went to 4 or 5 street corners and asked people how many people had died that they know of. He included everything as US-inflicted deaths, except old age. Car accidents, robbery, terrorists attacks, people falling off construction sites, even sickness and cancer (generally undiagnosed). Then, from his "samples" he extrapolated to 1.4 mil.

What I don't understand is someone, over 6+ years later, citing that source. How is that possible?

I wouldn't go that far...but I do think Obama's response was too little/too late.

The war against the west by Islamic extremist goes on and will continue to go on until all disbelievers convert, are subjugated, or are killed. When will people wake up. If it takes a thousnad years Islam will rule the world through a caliphate. What are we going to do to stop them. We could start by defineing our enemy. Calling the war a war on terror is like calling the WWII the war on blitzkrieg.

A religious war has been declared by our enemy on us. Who are they, they are islamists waging jihad for Allahs cause. They are doing what is expected of them. Understand this, the Arab Spring is not a good thing as the Obama administration believed it was. I and many others saw this comming. And soon Iran will have the bomb. Mark my words, they will use it on Israel.
Click to expand...

Iran will NEVER bomb Israel because they won't kill Palestinians and they won't blow up the holy places of the Patriarchs.

There will also never be another Caliphate.. The last one was a real dud and turned most of the Arab world into a stagnant, illiterate backwater.

Then in 1924 Hussein Ali declared himself Caliph and 2 weeks later was chased off the Arabian Peninsula.

So Sarge... you got anymore prophecies?

Ambassador Chris Stevens was tortured before he was murdered by these savages who wage jihad for Allahs cause. Afterall they are only doing what is required of them. Qur'an:9:5 "Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war."

Chris Stevens right before they murdered him in Allahs name.

This is horrible.... it's beyond words :( ..... why do they have to do that? What kind of human beings are those? and that was the US Ambassador to Libya, the very man who helped all those people.... It's beyond comprehension.

May his family be comforted at this time.
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

This is a very complex issue! First of all the violent demonstrations carried out in Libya and then Egypt are a disgrace and the US has every right to send in soldiers to protect her interests, Islamic soicety is very different to our own and much less civillised in many respects. The death of the US ambassador is shocking and shows not only how unstable North Africa/ the middle east is but it shows the gulf that exists between Islamic countries and the West. A few months ago I was very pro-arab spring as I hoped it would bring about a change in the region and drag them into the 21st century but so far that does not seem to be the case as the hardliners seemed to have taken control of these regions. The US and her allies need to hunt down who was responsible for these attacks and bring them to justice.
However if we are to remain in these regions and deal with them on a political level we need to start understanding how different they are and that that videos like the one realeased will only cause more violence and hate towards the West so we need to come down hard on the source of such videos.

Problem is we don't need an upset stressed out leader of the free world. We need a strong resolute leader who will take the lead not "lead from behind"

So are you saying that we ammend the first ammendment to our constitution? If we change a part of who we are i.e "freedom of speech" they win. That is exactly what thay want us to do.

Nope. You got me there. I admit that I have never called Israel a cancer. I admire Mr. Netanyahu greatly. I despise our appeasing president and his completely worthless Secretary of State.

Actually it is far more likely that I am an expert compared to you. The difference is that I have a knack for seeing things sooner than most, for connecting the dots while there is still time. Most people cannot. You cannot.

There is no shame in it. It is what it is.

no people can continue saying anything they like but they have to understand that the US is serving in violent regions and that you are endangering peoples lifes! You think Muslim hardliners say " oh too be fair guys they have freedom of speech so lets just let it go".

My point is that if the US wants to remain in these regions as peacekeepers you have to silence some of the rhetoric coming out!

Silencing rhetoric sounds like censorship of free speech. How do you do that without changing the constitution?

Good question and I dont know nearly enough about your constitution to comment. Dont get me wrong I think its a disgrace that they acted like they did today but I also worry about friends I have servign with the British army in Afghan and my brothers in the US army. We sent them off to win peace for a people and to establish a new country for them but at te same time we have people destroying the mission by insulting the very people they are trying to win over. Its a **** situation no doubt but unless we pull out from these countries its something we have to consider.

I seemed to have missed this important word. No. I usually just move along. Those are always unfruitful conversations.
I support Israel as our most important ally in the Middle East. I have great admiration for Benjamin Netanyahu. My admiration for him, and for Israel goes back many years.

Once upon a time, a very long time ago, I chose to become an expert on terrorism. My life took a different path, into engineering, but I still have 45 books on my bookshelf having to do with Islam and "holy" terror. Among them is a well written book called Fighting Terrorism by the Prime Minister of Israel, B. Netanyahu. If it were possible I would want him as our President.

No way in hell. If we can't handle our guys being over in the ME, without changing our constitutional right to free speech, then bring the guys back home, and to hell with the ME and all their insanity. We shouldn't be peacekeeprs and cops in the first place. Let them do their own dirty work.
 
Re: Libya: Assault on U.S. consulate in Benghazi leaves 4 dead, including U.S. Ambass

Part of the problem is the Prophet Mohammed did some evil things during his lifetime and people are going to continue to make movies and draw cartoons. Muslims have a problem, they are way to thin skinned. When was the last time jews or christians rioted or murdered because someone made a movie that was offensive to them? Time for muslims to join the civilized world. Reformation of Islam by muslims is a long time comming. Lets pray it happens soon.
