I definitely don't want to be misunderstood, but since this is a very sensitive and volatile induced discussion, I just want everyone to be aware.
We are in a world where things that are happening don't really look what it seems. At least to me. We might just go on with our simple and ordinary lives, but I feel that we are pushed to a wall where there is no turning back. Maybe I am wrong.. but you tell me.
should we be afraid? I came across this on Fox News.
Fox Guest: Rand Paul Must Prove He’d Nuke a Muslim Country if We Needed by Andrew Kirell | 11:33 am, April 7th, 2015 387
On Monday morning, Fox & Friends held a lively debate between Brad and Dallas Woodhouse, the modern (and very much bloodless) political equivalent of Civil War “brother against brother” battles.
Brad is a Democratic consultant and the head of American Bridge PAC; Dallas is a Republican strategist and founder of Carolina Rising. The siblings once reached minor fame when they were interrupted by a phone call from their mother during their dramatic C-SPAN battle.
For their joint Monday morning Fox appearance, the pair debated this very Fox & Friendsian question: “Which GOP contender has the Democrats most afraid?” And when the subject turned to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) — seen by GOP foreign policy hawks as too non-interventionist — here’s what Republican Woodhouse had to say:
sort of worldview may not be fitting the world as a lot of people see it right now. He’s got to prove — in my opinion, Rand Paul’s got to prove that he will nuke a Muslim country if we have to. I’m not saying we should. But I’m saying we will do that if it takes saving America and that there’s no doubt that he will do what it takes to protect America. “Thank God you’re not running for president,” Democratic Woodhouse said in response.
The blog Crooks & Liars picked up on the clip and just when you’d expect the conservative Woodhouse to suggest the famously liberal website took him out of context, he followed up on Facebook with an affirmation of his views:
“Damn right I said it,” he declared. “I of course meant that Rand Paul has to win over the American (and republican primary) voters on national security. At its core the GOP is a National Security Party. Period. We are not the blame America first crowd. That is my brothers side, not mine.”
“We don’t like war, I don’t like war. We hate war,” he continued. “However we need a POTUS who will do WHATEVER it takes to protect America and her friends including Israel. I never want to see another Nuke used, but If We HAD to like in WW2 then so be it. I want a President willing to keep the option of Nuking the enemy on the table rather than letting THEM get the bomb to terrorize us and threaten and possibility destroy Israel as we know it.”
He concluded: “America First. Whatever it takes. No matter what.”
(Quick question from your humble writer: How does one *prove* you’d nuke a Muslim country? Just say it three times and it magically becomes so?)
Watch the original clip below, via Fox News:(don't know how to upload it or I would have, but you can go to Fox news and get it.)
This is not my choice, nor would I wish it to be, but given the fact that it is being talked about perhaps we should be aware? Now tell me, must we? Or must we not?
Raphael I have to admit that neither would be of any use for us in anyway but what I can see is for a very strategic set up to let these bozos take care of their own problems. If and when we would have depended on any of them for such a cause maybe it will raise the bar to be involved at a closer proximity.
But don't forget the holders of the world's economy are no less than those of the Rosenthals, etc, and let us not forget where they are from..
Your observation is very politically correct. It can also economically cripple some countries that had always been favored in the past.
Just woke up but will get back on this.
Very impressive account as to the future of the US policy. Dichotomy in essence and can be contradicting in its objective. Such are the fundamentals of greed induced society. We side to those whom fill our coffers.
While there are supposedly "peaceful Muslims" who're not war mongers, I do address my statement to those who had always made known about their hostilities towards us and the Jews.
I wasn't quite well the last few days, thanks to season change..But let me tell you something Woods, you obviously has not seen nor ever experience the power of a woman.
For your information, I can't quite tolerate a man who is set with a mentality like yours, but for the specific reasons of a candidate to run, I do agree with you. Fiorina I mean, not my choice either but there are many women out there that can certainly outdo these bozos who are wimp and yet clever that they are selling us to the enemies, even with our eyes wide open.
but don't know why Israel don't want fix everything's with peace .what do you think about Israel why they only try make problems .what they want war forever
Let me ask you this? What makes you think that Israel always want war and not peace?
Do you have any idea why? May I interject if you don't know why? The whole of Arabian Nations in general and Muslims in particular all taught their people that ISRAEL AND THE WEST, are the sole enemy because we cause their poor and miserable existence. Second, it took a lot of wars for them to get back the land that aptly belong to them, at what cause? War. And because, we the Americans initiated the move, the same people declared war against us, not the way you phrased it.
I can tell you this, Israel will not use this to express aggression and or offense, just for their defense.
Now I believe that if you were in their shoes, always subject to attack, you would do the same, too, don't you think?
Sometimes a corrupt regime depends on who's side you're on. In the case of Iran during the Shah, oil was a limited and expensive commodity (at least as far as know how was concerned), and having the bounty left to exclusive countries, US had to protect its resources. It was a filthy excuse but again, power depends on who's got the commodity that provides control.
I am sure we all want to have it success All, but the truth is, we're beset with many difficulties in terms of growth. Struggles that test our limits, challenges that shape our character and resilience. We just have to find a way to work with whomever us with us.
Understanding our differences, find a common ground and build from there. Nothing is easy that's for sure. Commitment is the key and our willingness to contribute positive energy into our union.
Balance is a very good neutralizer to keep our lows and highs n an acceptable and bearable journey.
What I can't conceive is the fact that it's too much of a price we have to pay should it backfires and I am, even with my not too smart move to overlook the effect it will do to Israel.
